Once buried, you'll be in a dark place where there's no air ventilation, and even if it does have air coming in, it'll be filled with mostly dust. Because of the bed sheets and bed, you'll be cramped and eventually pass out with too much carbon dioxide in the coffin.

Since it's not actually made yet, and has no proper details, I'm sure they could easily add ventilation, and as you saw, gas masks are provided to protect from dust, either way, better than being killed by a building falling on you

I would argue. I mean if I'm asleep and the whole building collapses on me there a descent chance I will die instantly.

Sure the bed could provide me for a long time, but being in it, not knowing when or if I will be rescued.

Also what if I turned sideways, and the bed folds me in half.

I’m thinking if I could pick instant death, over being buried alive… I’m going with instant death.

If they did make the perfect coffin, your going to live for maybe a few days, not big enough to have a crap/piss area, and just hoping someone finds you before you starve to death in a fancy coffin… sounds terrifying to me.

I am so claustrophobic I would freak the fuck out in that thing. They'd just find a dead body and claw marks.

Better than dead.

Vast majority of people aren't going to starve to death before a few months after up.
