Okay, it protects from Dire Otters, but what about Mantis Shrimp?

And the alien archaeologists will unearth these titanium sarcophagi and wonder if the remains inside were of kings, buried with their treasures, or the most impious criminals, condemmed to die with their loved ones.

It looks basically like a coffin for live folk to me.

There’s a rather notable lack of fireproofing on their list of features.

A rebreather and “Biochemical Filtered Ventilation”, a refrigerator, microwave, toilet system, and DVD player? All battery-powered I presume? So what’s the battery life? Will it last until somebody clears away the rubble that’s blocking you inside?

And about that tornado-proof bit; so the box survives being picked up by a tornado? What about the contents? An egg inside an empty milk carton is dropped from the second floor. I suppose you COULD say that the carton is drop-proof, but I think the egg might disagree.

This is clearly a product for people with more money than common sense. Here’s a cheaper alternative. Instead of buying this ludicrously overpriced coffin, move your bed to the safe room you undoubtedly already have.

I dunno, for my money the bedside gun rack is still better. Not smarter, just better.

S’funny, I haven’t really outgrown the boogeyman thing (or more specifically, that goblin thing from Catspaw), I still can’t sleep with my hands or feet hanging off the edge of the bed, but as I’ve aged the fear of being buried alive has edged out the boogey man. I think I’ll just take my chances with the Bio Chemical Terrorists, thankyew.

I still do the blanket cocoon thing. Sometimes just because it’s cold and sometimes when I’m scared of my own monsters like debt and job issues.

Realistically though, I SHOULD be scared of Dire Otters. I mean, DAMN.

I still wouldn’t get a quantum sleeper though. With a name like that I’d be afraid of entering a superstate in which I could collapse to win or fail.
