Lately I’ve been dreaming of a movie theater with beds. Not joking. I’ve been watching a lot of movies, but by choice I don’t own a T.V. Because of this, I’ll generally watch movies in bed with my iPad rather than on a couch. I don’t want to sound old or complain-y, but watching movies in bed hurts my neck!
Sure would be nice to have a big screen up high in front of you rather than a tiny one sitting on my lap.
When I stumbled on an actual movie theater with beds, I thought Google was reading my mind again. Turns out it’s a phenomenon – movies with beds is being done well, all over the world.
And here I thought it all came to me in a dream…
Cinema Pathé In Switzerland Does Things A Little Different
Making dreams come true, Cinema Pathé in the northwesterly part of Switzerland has opened a “V.I.P. bedroom” screen that has double beds in place of seats.
Coined as the ‘new and chill way of watching movies’, they offer V.I.P. tickets that buy you both food and a double bed. There are 11 beds to enjoy, with adjustable headrests, grey and beige sheets, and a couple of pillows per bed.
The movie theater with bed seats was established by Pathé to meet a demand that they saw coming from a mile away. They also feature giant sofas.
The whole idea was to make moviegoers feel at home… and it comes at a price. Go here to check out their price list and book your seat!
If you choose to go the V.I.P. route, it’ll cost you around $50USD. This, however, includes food and a drink. You also get to skip any lines for food and drink if you go with the V.I.P.
Tuck In And Tune Out
Get this: you even get slippers to enhance your experience.
While some movie buffs argue that this elevated, comfy experience doesn’t necessarily prioritize the film, others say they don’t care. Let’s just ‘tuck in and tune out’. There’s a certain level of relaxation that you can attain watching a movie in a movie theatre with beds.
Plus, the CEO of Pathé Switzerland has recently announced that they’ll soon be serving more gourmet offerings such as waffles and crepes. Sounds like a perfect matinee to me. They really do think of everything. For instance, they also have an area for the kids!
