Burger Lovers: Make Your Hamburger Bed Dreams A Reality
Do you love burgers? I mean, do you really love burgers? Because there is a posting on Craigslist that you will not want to sleep on. Someone is forced to part with their Hamburger Bed, and that means this "Wendy's style" square-pattied, sesame seed-studded bun topped wonder can be yours.
The posting:
It is with great sadness that I must part ways with my bacon cheeseburger bed since I will be moving due to a new employment offer in a different city and will be unable to move my special bed due to its large size. This bed was custom made this year and is one of the most comfortable beds I have ever been on. The top bun is nice and squishy like a large bean bag chair. The bed measures approximately 84 inches in diameter by 38 inches tall. This bed includes the top and bottom hamburger buns, a large king size wendys style square hamburger patty, cheese, lettuce, 2 strips of bacon, tomatoes, and pickles. This is a very unique and fun bed to own and will hopefully please the hamburger lover in you.
It's good to know that, much like at Burger King, you can "have it your way" when it comes to custom burger beds, too!

How much does such a glorious specimen go for? A mere $1000, or a trade-in for a used car, truck, or motorcycle.
Of course, a true Angeleno might prefer to sleep on an In-N-Out Animal-style bed. Or a, thicker (but possibly sloppier) Father's Office burger. And you thought you were truly a burger fan with just your burger bedsheets!
Just imagine the fun of bringing someone home on that pivotal third date for a tumble in the bacon-lettuce-cheese toppings?! Or eating a burger on your burger bed while watching a Food Network special on burgers... So meta!
Any takers?
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
