Vertical Bed
Upright slat bed with wearable mattress. Contoured, ventral wooden slats allow muscles in the lower extremity to disengage nearly completely in order to approximate the vertical sleep of birds, cows, horses, and other non-human animals.
Eight individual body splints, each molded to a space under Jae Rhim Lee’s supine body, intended to evenly distribute bodyweight on hard surfaces. The splints are stored on slats in a pine box.
