    Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses various sport-shaped bed designs consisting of a frame 26, mattress 14, motion sensors 32, rechargeable battery cell 36 and dimmer night light 42. The designs have shapes such as a football, baseball, soccer, basketball, and other sport shapes. The bed also comprises storage drawers 28 located in various positions according to the design. Each bed contains battery-operated motion sensors 32 which trigger a night dimmer light 42. When the sensor 32 indicates a child has laid down in the bed, the dimmer 42 responds to the signal and the light 18 goes on. Within a short period of time, the light slowly dims until it is fully out. If the child 12 should sit up, the sensor 32 will react and the light 18 will go on. The mattress 14 fits down inside a recess 16 in the frame 26 and the headboard 20.
