An Italian inventor has created a bed mattress equipped with a removable block on one side to allow a person to bend the knees during sexual intercourse or perhaps experiment with new positions.
Paolo Tonelli, a 50-year-old eclectic inventor, artist and writer born in South Africa to Italian parents, said he got the inspiration after reading a poll declaring that 70 percent of Italian couples had trouble having sex or couldn't find comfortable positions.
Ugh thank god I'm not wearing my onesie tonight.
"I am not a doctor who can do something about their physical or psychological problems, but I thought I could do something about their beds," Tonelli told AOL News from his home in Mestre, Italy.
Tonelli worked on a prototype of the mattress and then teamed up with Sogniflex, a company based in Noventa Padovana, northern Italy, that produces beds and mattresses.
The mattress, which at 9.8 inches tall is slightly higher than regular ones, features a small, removable block that creates a "hole" in which a person can kneel comfortably. When it's time to sleep, the block can be put back in place -- leaving the mattress with a smooth surface not unlike other beds.
Tonelli's mattress is designed with a groove and removable block as well as handles to provide couples more options during lovemaking. There is also an outlet for a mechanical bull if couples want to experiment further. Creator not liable for injuries.
A set of handles attached to the head of the mattress and each bed comes with a set of sexy tailor-made red sheets.
"We locked a couple in the factory to have them try out the prototype for a night, and it worked," Tonelli said, adding that full-scale production is now in the works.
So far, 12 "love mattresses" have been sold, he said. The item can be purchased on eBay's Italian website, where the listed price reaches $1,900, or by calling the factory directly.
I guess one has to be getting laid to try this out appropriately, but I'm still curious.
