The Dyson V6 Mattress is a battery-powered handheld vacuum cleaner with a specialty: beds. Dyson claims that all of our mattresses are covered in dust mites and dust mite feces, as well as our own skin cells, hair, and other microscopic refuse. Unfortunately, Dyson is right. As we sleep in our beds at night, we are surrounded by a micro universe of filth, dust, and allergens. Fortunately, the V6 Mattress is here to combat the micron-sized horrors with powerful suction, an assortment of attachments, and a hygienic-if-tiny dust receptacle. At $249.99, it's expensive considering its very specific function, but it could be worth it if you're an allergy sufferer or a Felix Unger type who wants fewer microbes in your home.
Design and Features
The V6 Mattress looks very similar to Dyson's DC59 Animal and DC59 Motorhead stick vacuums, but just the top part. It's almost like a robo-gun from the future. The vacuum is made mostly of white plastic with turquoise accents, with a clear tommy gun-like drum for a dust receptacle. It even has a trigger and something of a safety lock in the red bin ejector. It works by pulling the trigger, and you can boost the suction power by pressing the Max button on the butt of the machine, although battery life will take a serious hit—from 20 minutes down to just six. Better bust those dust mites fast.
