Across the ages, beds carry a mythical quality. Think of the opulent, four-poster Royal beds at Hampton Court Palace or Vincent van Gogh’s simple bedroom in Arles. In countless films too, the deep pleasure of an inviting bed represents safety and comfort: consider The Sound of Music for example. A cosy bed is truly one of our favourite things.

Beds are quite possibly the piece of furniture with the longest history. Fashions have come and gone, from unadorned low futons to piled-high ‘Princess and the Pea’ style beds, but overall, while mattresses have improved handsomely, the essence of the bed itself has remained remarkably constant.

Until now. Swedish premier luxury brand Carpe Diem Beds, established 25 years ago with the sole purpose of transforming the quality of your rest, has always adopted a forward-thinking, scientific approach to the serious business of sleep. Their unstinting research and use of modern technology, means they own five unique patents so that their beds and mattresses, all handmade in Sweden, provide bespoke luxury.

Their continual innovation has produced a bed that breaks the mould again. Welcome to Vindö, a next-generation bed fit for the 21st Century. It has all of Carpe Diem Beds’ DNA - a laser focus on comfort, innovation and sustainability – matched with a spectacular design. The result is a ‘flying’ bed that appears to hover freely above the ground.

Vindö is an adjustable, box spring bed built because the feeling of weightlessness is surely the greatest luxury. It has all the attributes that have made Carpe Diem Beds a byword for deep and reviving sleep. There’s the patented Contour Pocket System for best pressure relief and sleep comfort and a Viscoelastic bottom segment. In addition Vindö has vibration massage programmes to promote relaxation, automatic neck and lumbar support and adjustable head and footrests to fully support your body. All these features can be set to individual preferences either through a handheld wireless-frequency remote control or by voice command

“Vindö is the essence of everything that we represent, the combination of innovation, design and quality,” says Linda Schori, Creative Director of Carpe Diem Beds. “In the design process we turned all the values traditionally associated with a bed upside down and questioned everything. Can we do the opposite of the usual? Can a bed adopt a new shape? Must a bed have legs? The end result is Vindö, our most spectacular bed so far. It’s the perfect combination of luxurious comfort and stylish design.”

Vindö takes its name from a east coast peninsula in the Swedish archipelago, connected to the mainland by a narrow stretch of land. So too, the bed barely touches the floor, resting on a central pillar with a floor base unit which gives the impression of freeform suspension. The base unit can he hidden under one of Carpe Diem Beds luxurious fitted carpets or can be used with LED-lit legs in stainless steel. Vindö comes in four different widths and as with all Carpe Diem Beds furniture, the wide choice of design options includes 36 exclusive fabrics from elite brands Designers Guild and Romo Group.

As an adjustable bed, Vindö allows you to tilt, angle and adjust the lying position. Whether you are sleeping, reading, watching a film or just taking five minutes to recharge, the settings offer individual comfort and relief, personalised to you.

Sleep is the ultimate luxury and your bed should work hard to provide it. Carpe Diem Beds aims to help you unwind in luxury and style, with your bed as the perfect stage for sleep. The search for a good night’s sleep is as old as the history of time. Vindö offers a thoroughly 21st Century solution, a bed you’ll want to come home to.

In line with the innovative approach to developing the bed, Carpe Diem Beds let you play around and build your own bed online.
