Abstract: An airbed (2) having an integral clock (50) or audio player (300). The clock (50) may be mounted, for example, on a faceplate (32) that is mounted on a sidewall (24) of the airbed. In an embodiment, the clock (50) is formed integrally with an air pump (38) that is built-in to the bed. The air pump (38) and the clock (50) share a common faceplate (32), and the pump is mounted behind the faceplate. Controls (40, 52) for the pump (38) and the clock (50) are included on the front of the faceplate (32). In an embodiment, the clock (50) is a projection clock. That is, an image (252) of the time or other information provided by the clock (50) is projected outward from the clock, for example onto a wall or on a ceiling. In this manner, a user may view the time or other information while lying on the airbed (20), for example.
