WOOD LUCK, a seismic-resistant bed and shelter associated with Japanese company Shinko Sangyo, was reported to have passed pressure tests with a load capacity of approximately 65 tons. That is a reported test figure—not proof that the bed will protect an occupant in every earthquake or building collapse. The available product listing does not specify the test method, loading arrangement, or independent verifier.
What is the WOOD LUCK bed?
WOOD LUCK is a bed designed to provide a protected space during an earthquake. Shinko Sangyo’s product listing describes it as a bed/shelter and gives construction details, including cypress structural members, a cedar top board, and steel plate joints. The IPROS GMS listing was last updated June 1, 2015, so its specifications should be treated as dated rather than confirmed current product details.
Reported construction
- Beams and columns: 100 mm square cypress core material.
- Top board: 30 mm cedar.
- Joints: 3.2 mm steel plate.
What does the 65-ton figure mean?
The IPROS listing says WOOD LUCK “has passed pressure tests with a load capacity of approximately 65 tons.” This supports describing the figure as a reported pressure-test capacity. It does not establish how the load was applied, what configuration was tested, or whether an independent organization verified the result.
A pressure-test load is not the same as a demonstration that a sleeper will survive any real collapse. Building failures can involve impact, shifting or uneven debris, shaking, and different installation conditions. The available listing does not document performance for a specific collapse scenario, earthquake, or occupant situation. It also does not identify a recognized certification.

Can you still buy WOOD LUCK, and what did it cost?
Current sales status, price, shipping geography, and ordering details are not established by the available sources. New Atlas gave a starting price of US$5,600 in 2012; that is a historical figure, not a current quote. The 2015 listing does not establish present-day availability or pricing, so contact the company directly for current information rather than using the old price to budget.
