This V-shaped bed from 1932 looks incredibly comfortable [1]

There are a bunch of ways beds could clearly be improved (like a trench at shoulder level to allow spooning, or a suspended mini hammock to allow a baby to sleep in the middle without risk of being squished).

I think the reason none of it ever takes off is that it’s hard enough to engineer even a flat mattress so it doesn’t injure you if you sleep in the same position for 6 hours. Maybe this V-shaped idea feels comfortable at first, but then you wake up with bedsores or a seized hip.

(I’d also worry about pinch hazards, uncommanded deployment, etc.)
