The "Hamburger Bed"

This is just too cute!

The Origin Story

You know that ol' dinner party question:
If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
My answer is always—hamburgers.
mm mm mmm
I wouldn't say that I'm obsessed... though I did celebrate hamburger roadtrip '03 (I ate hamburgers in 8 central US states) and have a buffet club code name of Patty Melt...

I have a general devotion to food and movies... especially sweets.

For awhile now I have been making sweet treats and then I saw an amazing video Hamburger: The Motion Picture (must own soon!) and their dorm room beds WERE hamburgers.
I had to make the transition into making treats things!
and I couldn't shake the idea of a Hamburger Bed!

I bought a round mattress from the 70's and made everything else myself...
(with the exception of pickle chip pillows I received from a wonderful friend).

It is 8' in diameter (I love saying my bed has a diameter)
It stands about 3' tall.

It is the most comfortable bed I have ever owned... ever

Frequently Asked Questions

Who made the hamburger bed?

Kayla Kromer of Austin, Texas.

Is the bed for sale? If so how much does it cost? If not, are there any plans and how much do you think it would cost?

It's not something people really want... they say they do. If someone did, they would find me for real.

A fair price would probably be close to $2000... It took some time and stuff to put it together. I would much rather help someone make a new dream.

I didn't make it to sell anything, or be a "viral marketing strategy" as it's been accused of.
It is fun for pure fun's sake—that's why people love it.

Update: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Hamburger Bed was sold on eBay as a fund raiser in July of 2009. The bed has a new owner and now lives in Chicago, Illinois.

What do I need to make my own hamburger bed?

• 1 circular bed and "box" frame (mine is way bigger than it looks and took some stealthy moves to get it in my house)
• 2 tones of light brown fabric
• dark brown king fitted sheet
• memory foam
• king sized yellow and green sheets
• 30 pillows
• a couple of zippers
• pantyhose (for the sesame seeds)
