Money for nothing and your drinks for free
15/05/2009
Many people will find it hard to believe that people are being paid $25 (£16.40) an hour to do absolutely nothing and lie around in bed all day.
Yet one couple are working for 24 hours in four shifts to do just that, reclining in bed all day with nothing to keep them company other than each other, a few magazines and all the coffee they can drink, the St Petersburg Times reported.
Sylvia Olechowski and Kostas Stoilas are being paid by BoConcept, a furniture store in the Floridian city of Tampa, to model a memory foam mattress to customers wanting to give their bedroom the ultimate upgrade.
The pair are the two lucky applicants to a Craiglist advert by the company, which hopes to improve sales of beds at the shop in the WestShore Plaza mall.
One couple who do not see eye-to-eye over their bed is Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who regularly argue over the need to make their bed everyday.
