Russian architects Alexey Goryainov & Mikhail Krymov have designed and produced a booth for taking a quick nap in busy urban environments called SLEEPBOX,

Imagine yourself in an unfamiliar city or in an airport or in any other public place far from home. There is no opportunity for you to rest and relax, even if you are extremely tired. You can have a snack or drink virtually anywhere, but there is simply nowhere to sleep. Sleeping in public causes security, privacy and hygiene issues. Sleep away from home in busy and crowded places is a non-existent luxury.

We believe that urban infrastructure should be more comfortable. For this, we have developed SLEEPBOX. It is intended primarily to enable a person to sleep peacefully. It provides quick escape from the crowd without wasting time searching for a hotel.

SLEEPBOX is a small mobile space (box) 2m x 1.4m x 2.3m (h). The main functional element in it is a bed 2m x 0.6 m., which is equipped with automatic system of change of bed linen. Bed is soft, flexible strip of foamed polymer with the surface of the pulp tissue. Tape is rewound from one shaft to another, changing the bed. If a client wants to sleep in maximum comfort, he can take the normal set of bed linen for an extra fee. SLEEPBOX is equipped with a ventilation system, sound alerts, built-in LCD TV, WiFi, sockets for a laptop, charging phones. Also under the lounges is a place for luggage. After the clients exit, automatic change of bed linen starts and quartz lamps turns on. Payment can be made on a shared terminal, which provides the client with an electronic key. It is possible to buy from 15 minutes to several hours.

Locations for SLEEPBOX include - Railroad stations / Airports / Expocentres / Public and shopping centers / Accommodation facilities / Executive Office HQs.

In countries with warm climate SLEEPBOX can be used on the streets. Application of the device can be very broad, not only in the form of paid public service, but also for internal purposes of organizations and companies. The units can be rented for between fifteen minutes and several hours.
