These sleep pods are perfect for layovers

If you've ever missed your connecting flight and had endless hours to kill at the airport, you've probably wondered 'why there isn't a place for me to nap?' Sleepbox is aiming to solve that problem with their line of innovative micro-hotels. The boxes are rentable by the hour or by the night, and can be setup just about anywhere.

$30 dollars an hour?!?! You must be off your fucking rocker. I'd rather sleep on my suitcase in departures.

[southpawmc]

Umm...$30 an hour and if you take an average night of sleep (7 hours), that's about $210, the cost of a luxury suite/night. For convenience purposes, this would be a good idea. If you have other options, though, it's best to go with those.

30$ hour??
for that i could live in a hotel wtf and that would be way better

[ThePlanetProject]

So... capsule hotels that have existed since the late 50s

[sudonim]

it's like a Japanese capsule hotel, but way, way overpriced

[darasm]

Bro I would go to a Burger King at the airport and sleep there
It's free and they have those long benches

[karimab]

Ahh I wish they were in the John f Kendy air port! It’s in nyc I go there a lot but wow that’s a big upgrade for me!

[MagicCyclops]

I was laughed at when I suggested doing this at DIA years and years ago by an investor

[absinth]

Very expensive. Nobody except rich ones will rent such small shit box. This price does not match anything.

[tranvanminh]

They might use different price for different places. Great idea. If I stuck in airport due to delay or transit for more than 5h, this will be my choice in term of convenience.

[casperrabbit]

I mean. It's expensive. But as someone who had to spend a night trapped in Heathrow I'd take it over trying to sleep in the departure lounge any day

[z.deutch]

Remove the fabric covers and sheets, just have pu leather covers. Reduces chances of spreading bed bugs from other travellers who had slept in the pods before you

[ArchangelTyrael]

But does it isolate sounds from the outside?

[TacNaynMC]

this is the first step to a totalitarian world

[andypeterson]

For $30/ hour I would crap, snot rocket, Pee, and vomit all over them walls

[SupaSillyMexi]

great concept, WAY too expensive per night and per hour

[NewsRedial]

I foresee sleepboxes only being used for an hour at a time. Oh, and acquiring the nickname 'Shagbox'.
If this box is a-rockin, don't come a-knockin.

[SaltVinegar]

Does the woman in this video come with the pod for an hour?

[tedtalkhighlights]

I would pay for one of these if I had to go to like a job or something right as I got off my flight and I have to be fully awake and energized. But no way in hell am I paying for this if I'm visiting family and I could just sleep when I get to my destination. This seems like it would be perfect for business people or anyone who's going on a business trip.

[swifttone]

they've had this type of service in Narita, Japan airport for a long time. if I remember correctly, they were about $10 a hour and you can shower too.
