How does it feel to sleep suspended in the air? Here are 5 modern floating beds

Contemporary bedrooms now feature floating beds, which are sturdy and built to last. Their suspended design not only adds a touch of futuristic charm but also maximizes floor space, making them a perfect choice for compact urban dwellings.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sleep as if suspended in the air? Thanks to the innovative work of bed manufacturers, this can, in a way, become a reality. Floating beds are a great way to add a contemporary touch to your bedroom. Nowadays, they come in all shapes and sizes, so you can easily find an eye-catching piece for your modern space.


They are a striking blend of elegance and innovation, revolutionizing the concept of sleep and interior design. Floating beds create an illusion of weightlessness as they seemingly defy gravity, suspended in mid-air. Crafted with sleek, minimalist designs and utilizing advanced engineering, they provide a seamless aesthetic, seamlessly integrating into any contemporary living space.

Supported by hidden steel cables or magnetic levitation technology, these beds offer a unique sleeping experience, enhancing comfort and relaxation. Their suspended design not only adds a touch of futuristic charm but also maximizes floor space, making them a perfect choice for compact urban dwellings.

The Fluttua Bed by LAGO

When you look at the impressive Fluttua floating bed, you can’t help but wonder – how does it work? The beautiful bed, which was first released in 2004, seems to have it all. It promotes lightness (without being “too cold”), evokes your emotions, and certainly catches the eye.

To create the floating look, LAGO used a single central leg and a metal frame, which has one side attached to the wall. These elements hold an 8 mm base in High-Pressure Laminate on which you place the mattress.
