I’d say the whole thing is an attention grabber for the sheet company named in the article. Build an odd bed, put it in a store, get some PR – humor ensues, or something like that.

And you thought an altimeter was crazy?

Comes from Colonial times – i am sure that you can find a write-up on the original use on the Web somewhere.

I’m sure every bed needs turn-and-bank and altimeter, perhaps if you need to perform an exorcism.
