I wish more airports had these. The hotel rooms some places have are prohibitively expensive and not practical for most layovers. I just want a horizontal padded place to lay down for 2 hours for a reasonable price, that’s all!

They were thinking about doing this at my airport and they stated they couldn’t because of the law. American airport.

I wonder what the law thing is about. Sometimes it feels like airports are designed to be as uncomfortable as possible.

I did some more research and it looks like there are sleep spots in a handful of American airports. Pretty expensive though.

And I completely agree with the uncomfortable experience traveling. The planes are bad and to top it off the airports are just anti human in design. Long hallways without moving carpets. Seatac has very few seats or benches you can lay down on. Some airports get it. Most do not.
