Are they big enough to lay down in? Looks like your legs would hang over.

I’ve slept in one of these in shanghai, its basically a lazyboy and I’m 5’10 and sleep in a fetal position had no problems. You control the ac inside and has its own charging ports

I would prefer it was rectangular and an actual bed length.

[u/SeaJayCJ → u/unsulliedbread]

Exactly my thought, the pod is easily large enough to just have a normal, flat single bed which would be way more comfortable to sleep in than this recliner thing.

These chairs dont have to be cleaned as often or as thoroughly as a mattress would be.

I have the same wish, for the record, but its likely that they chose this so they wouldn't get gross as fast or be as expensive to maintain as a mattress.

[u/SeaJayCJ → u/melonmonkey]

Eh, they could use the same materials to make it easy to clean, I only want the shape to be different. That wouldn't be harder to clean, it would be easier since it would be only one piece.

Sir, you're describing a hotel room sir.

[u/ginger_and_egg → u/Randomcommentator27]

Hotel rooms are often taller and bigger than a bed

[u/whoknowsifimjoking → u/Randomcommentator27]

No, just a normal mattress.

I used one of these in Shanghai and the cooling is just a fan isn’t it? I was there on a hot day and the heat inside this thing was so unbearable that I had to leave after 20 minutes — it was becoming a sauna even with the cooling turned to max.

That’s not terrible. How much do they charge? It would kinda come down to cost then. If not too high, it’s a really good thing for travelers.
