Sean Yoo's Matera bed for DWR

I've been up for about 24 hours straight now, so I'm prepping for a big drool-filled nap fest before a string of meetings this evening.

All the internal nap-chat got me thinking about my dream bed (pun definitely intended). There's nothing like the perfect sleep spot.

I've always been partial to low-lying frames, but have noticed a definite back problem developing over several years of awkwardly bending into my mattress-on-the-floor a la 1960s Japan chic I've been trying:

| My bedroom layout: Mattress on the floor | Wall-mounted orange headboard (homemade) | Low bookcase runner/nightstand from Crate & Barrel |

So how do you maintain the look without the pain?

I'm gonna go with Sean Yoo's Matera bed for Design Within Reach.

Of course I'll have to save until I'm collecting social security... but when you go for your dreams... okay, I'm semi-over the sleeping innuendo. No promises though.

The storage version of Yoo's solid walnut frame with storage drawers beneath is perfect for a slim memory foam mattress, and ideal for that floaty good night's sleep.

Find it at DWR.
