Sit back, relax, and let the Tranquility Pod soothe you to sleep. Its fiberglass exterior blocks out 90 percent of outside noise, while its interior four-speaker surround sound (which is smartphone compatible) works to create a peaceful environment.

The pod also uses a pulse sensor that synchronizes your heart rate with 50 LEDs that can be controlled wirelessly from an app. But serenity isn't cheap — this slumber paradise from Hammacher Schlemmer, which includes an octagonal waterbed, will cost you $30,000.

The exterior is made of white fiberglass, and the mattress can be sloped in various angles.

Just in case a built-in sleep tracker wasn't techie enough . . . there's Siri-like software too! Users can control their mattress's elevation and firmness with their voices.

It can hold up over 2,000 pounds and uses a magnetic field to make it defy gravity. The wires at its corners keeps it centered.

Any audiophile who's ever dreamed of sleeping in a sound chamber one day needs to look no further than the Sonic Bed, an art piece made for a series called Music For Bodies.
