Nowadays, keeping up with the Joneses might mean flaunting specialist furniture such as a ?2,500 ($4,130) Stretching Bed from Dungeon Equipment or a ?115 ($190) Funswing, which looks like a cross between a hammock and a baby bouncer and could be mistaken for a comfortable perch for watching TV if the brochure didn't deploy explicit photos to illustrate its (im)proper use.
