Is this the best place to put your money?
The Telegraph: New 'safe' bed allows savers to safely store their cash under the mattress
I kid you not - I had to check the date to make sure that it wasn't the 1st April!
Robbie Feather, managing director of Feather & Black said: “Confidence in banks has hit an all-time low and fears of a recession crime wave have been raised by the Home Secretary. As a result people genuinely seem concerned about the safety of their money. Our new Safe bed began as a slightly tongue-in-cheek idea but we are now confident that it will appeal to home owners who want to store their money or valuable belongings in a safe place."

What are you talking about ?
A Mattrass is one down from a vindaloo isn't it ? Oh and you get a tomato instead of a potato.

Saw a picture of this in the Daily Rag - this particular 'safe' does not look to be a good idea at all - it does not appear to be fire proof - that is an essential requirement for the storage of anything made of paper.....................................Buy a safe from a business that knows about safes who can give you sensible security advice if you are intending to keep valuables at home.

Just to add to the above - the other basic problem with this safe is that if you look at the construction of a bed, its usually upholstered over a timber frame. Some work with a suitably heavy hammer would no doubt very quickly remove the 'safe' from the bed frame, giving the burglar a handy box to take away and open at his leisure. Small safes should be securely fixed to the solid structure of the house or set in concrete with reinforcement. Burglars read the newspapers too - the word will soon spread around concerning the existence of these 'bed safes'.
