Bedding pioneers Michael Rothbard and Chris Ann Ernst helped introduce visco memory foam to the U.S. market almost two decades ago with their first company, Comfort Sleeper. The business was extremely successful and grew into a $50 million dollar operation in five years. Now joining forces once again, they have recently co-founded a new specialty sleep company called Sleep Studio, LLC.
Sleep Studio is named for just that – a studio dedicated to creating innovative sleep products around their customers. Their new line of products includes accessories such as pillows and mattress toppers, as well as five different customizable bed systems that focus on dual comfort, pressure relief and support. Each one of Sleep Studio’s bed systems – the VX, SX, SO, LX and the Signature, can be customized with your choice of fabrics, colors and styles.

SkyTran is a concept for high-capacity and high-speed personal rapid transport developed by an American Company UniModal Transport Solutions. This SkyTran system is two-passenger vehicles, propelled and suspended by maglev system. These are laid out in a one mile by one mile networked grid throughout the city. A large number of small departure and exit portals are placed underneath the guideways at approximately every 400 metres or at every city block.
SkyTran has no fixed routes or timetables. Users can simply enter any departure portal, get into the first empty vehicle in the queue and select their destination. The vehicle then speeds up on the acceleration lane and enters the high-speed overhead guideway.
Great concept, this will definitely reduce traffic jam, but with only two passengers for each pod, what about families ? Using SkyTran they have to sit separately. Hopefully UniModal will come up with new model or updated version of the SkyTran pods.
