And sometimes you just want to curl up in a good book…..

Love this! I am pinning on Pinterest! 🙂
So glad you like it too! I had fun finding the photos 🙂
How fabulous! Love those built in sleeves!!
So innovative, no? They are actually for sale incredibly enough!
Brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant. I tried to figure out what was written on the comforter. I saw the word castle so must be an adventure.
I’m sure the story is sleep related in some way too, right? Perhaps a version of sleeping beauty? Now you have me wondering what text I would want on my duvet book if I had one!
This is brilliant! I absolutely love these pictures. I really want those ‘book sheets’ 😉
They would be so great to own, I agree! According to one website, they exist in a hotel (the name escapes me right now).
I may have to google them 😉
If you find the hotel, let me know! From my initial research, it looks like it was a short one-time project as I can’t find a hotel that provides it anymore, but what a shame that would be.
Curling up in a good book. 😉
Hee hee 🙂
That book-shaped bed is wonderful! I’d like to curl up in that and I’m sure that our cats would sleep on it all the time, as they seem to like sleeping on top of paper ones often enough.
It’s so inviting, isn’t it? Cats would love it for sure!
I love the book blanket (top). It’s so soothing. I might never leave my room, though.
That’s what I was thinking! It would be tough to leave the bed 🙂
That blanket on the first picture is so cool!
BTW, my blog moved. The address is memyselfandkids.com
I love it too! I read that the idea of the pages/sheets is that if you are too warm in bed, you can just turn a few pages to have fewer of them on you, or vice-versa if you are cold. What a fun idea 🙂
Thanks for the heads-up about your move!
Funny. It would be cool if you could change books -blanket version of Kindle.
You’re right, one would want fresh reading material after a while!
Certainly. We might as well dream big.
What great ideas! I would sleep well with words.
Sleeping well with words – I love that!
I love all of them…what fun. It would be hard to take life seriously if you slept in a book bed.
You would definitely go to bed and wake up with a smile every day 🙂
Haha this is awesome! Both interesting and pleasantly funny!
Isn’t it great that there are artists who think of creating such wonderful projects?
How ingenious. I wonder if a person can order sheets with their favorite excerpts. This would be fun for children.
That would be a GREAT idea! How clever!
How thoughtful of the designers to have made the type larger at the far end of the bed.
I hadn’t noticed that, but – of course!- one would struggle to see the words at the end of the bed if not. How great that you noticed that!
Genius. I’ll have one of each. Wonder if Amazon has caught up with this type of reading yet? 😀
One of each – I like that! A nice rotation of reading bedding!
People actually do that ? I mean for real ? I have seen people purchase bed sheets with mickey mouse all over it but this… Creative idea !
It’s so creative, it’s true! The book bedding with the words could be found in a hotel room for a while (not sure if it’s still there) and the last one (the one with the arm and hand covers) is actually for sale.
Love this!
So fun, aren’t they? 🙂
Reblogged this on Willing Wheeling and commented:
This is the cleverest blog …
Thanks for the compliment (but the artists are the clever ones!) 🙂
I think these covers may cause me to never sleep again!
I hadn’t thought of that, but you’re right! It would be impossible to “put your book down” to get some sleep- too funny!
The duvet cover with the attached gloves is the winner for me. It’s so drafty in our bedroom, and I have to wear a sweater in bed when I read. Even then my hands are still cold!
Although if you got up suddenly, you’d take your whole bed with you. ; )
Hahaha! The whole duvet would come up with you, that’s so true! I hadn’t thought of that. And if you removed your arms from the slots to sleep, it would be a bit funny to have the empty sleeves just laying there perhaps.
Ooh, I didn’t even think about the empty sleeves flopping around. That would freak me out!
It would be a little odd! 🙂
Great find 🙂
Fun, right? 🙂
I SOOOOOOOO want those sheets!!
They’re great, aren’t they? Apparently the idea was thought up by art students for a project with a hotel.
Nice! So not for sale huh?
I know, it’s a shame…
that duvet cover with the words on it . . . man that is right up my alley. 🙂
It’s so wonderful- and it even has “pages”: duvet sheets you can turn over (not sure that’s clear from the photos). That makes it even cooler, I think!
another great and important post…the pages of books where I dream…day and night. The first photo is an image of what a book may be…another important reminder of what literature may be: some long and endless lullaby. Your work is an inspiration.
an endless lullaby; you are so right, Walter!
thank you so much for so kind comment.
I love this so much that even though I said I wasn’t going to log on to Twitter I just have to so that I can…
I know, it’s wonderful, I agree! What’s the connection with Twitter though?
I wanted to tweet to my scanty followers the link to your blog so that they could look and enjoy just like I was!!
Oh Thanks; you’re sweet! I thought there was something on twitter about the bedsheets, hahaha!
I want the duvet with the sleeves for my hands and arms! Want!
It’s for sale so you can have it 🙂 Expensive but SO fun!
I want to keep this post FOREVER! Thanks for the day brightener. It makes me feel cozy and creative in an instant.
You are most welcome! In the middle of a cold winter I needed images of coziness and creativity too!
That is so versatile, it’s like a a Swiss Army knife, no Swiss army bed. If I had that bed I wouldn’t get out, I would have to train a chinchilla to fetch me books though first. Always plan ahead that is the ‘pillow’ of success.
A Swiss Army bed- I like that! The chinchilla could keep you warm and be a cute companion too so would serve many functions!
i think we need to market this….
Definitely!
I hope all these items go mainstream. If the urinal-wall advertising can go worldwide, I should hope these clever ideas could, too.
A bookbed in every home; how delightful!
The duvet cover made me giggle. They look like robots
They do! Very futuristic looking 🙂
I love this post! In college, one of my dorm mates took white cotton flat sheets and used permanent markers to write Emily Dickinson poems in large cursive writing all down the center and around the edges. She gave them as birthday gifts to her friends, and those of us who received one of her creations felt honored!
That is SO cool; what a wonderful gift! Did it survive multiple washes? I might try my own hand at it if it did!
Loved it! So cool. 🙂 Renee
I know, I can’t decide which book-bed I prefer!
I agree. They all look awesome. What a neat idea. 🙂
I love the idea. 🙂
C’est drôle, non? 🙂
