Start napping at your workplace
The powernap improves health, happiness, productivity and creativity. That is why it is our mission to normalise the everyday powernap. With our pod we want to introduce this lifehack at your workplace. Just a 20 minute nap makes a world of difference.
Our Powernap Pod
The Metawake Powernap Pod is designed and produced in The Netherlands. It functions as a place to relax and withdraw yourself from your environment. Here you can read, do you mindfulness exercises and take a nap. Our pod is the solution to make your workplace more healthy.
The sideway-entrance makes it possible to lay down in an easy and ergonomic way. When laying on the comfortable, water-proof mattress, you can close the electric roller blind with a simple push of a button to create the night-time conditions for a good nap. The wooden parts of the pod are fabricated by a milling machine. This allows the pod to be made with as little waste as possible.
