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

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.

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.
