If there’s any reason why blockbusters have taken over movie theaters, it’s because movies are so freaking expensive. If you can only afford to see a few movies a year, you want to feel like it’s going to be worth your while, right? So it has to be something that you can’t recreate on your home screen, something big and boisterous and colorful, right? It has to be an experience.
And increasingly, a big part of that experience involves recreating your home at the theater.

The trend in movie theaters has been more towards as much relaxation as possible, bringing the comforts of home to the big screen experience as much as possible.
Gone are the stiff-backed chairs with spring-loaded, velvet-covered seats and long lines at the concession stands. More and more, those sad old seats are being replaced with reclining chairs with lap trays, and some theaters have seat-side service for food and drinks.
And if your cozy butt thinks that’s the greatest, just wait, because it gets even better.
What if I told you there was a theater that wants you to be so comfortable, they don’t even want you to get out of bed?
Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s real! It exists!
I mean, sure, reclining chairs let you put your feet up, but we all know that you could be even more reclined than that if you had an actual bed to lay in.
Just to make it as cozy as possible, each of the double-bed pods has pillows, sheets, adjustable headrests, and even little bedside tables.
Apparently there are even slippers you can put on to keep your feet toasty and warm! And for those worried about hygiene, yes, the sheets get changed after every film.
This theater has more surprises in store, too.
If double beds aren’t your thing, how about sinking into some plush double sofas?
And you couldn’t ask for a better place to host a kid’s birthday party.
Bean bag chairs, a slide, and a ball pit make it pretty much the coolest spot to put the kiddos for a flick.
As much as this place seems like a dream come true, there is a down side to it.
The down side, at least for those of us in North America, is that visiting this theater requires a trip across the pond, because it’s in Spreitenbach, Switzerland. But hey, maybe it will set a bar that other theaters will strive to reach here.
Now, obviously this is going to be a pricey ticket.
And it is, at 49 francs (about $48.50), but the fee for the VIP experience not only includes the bed and all the comforts, but also food and drinks that you don’t have to wait in line for. It’s not just popcorn and soda and candy, either — the theater’s management is looking to add things like waffles and crepes to their menu as well.
