You Can Now Book a Nap Nook in New York City

New York might be the city that never sleeps, but its residents need to catch some Zs every now and then—even at times when it's least convenient. As spotted by Dezeen, mattress maker Casper has come up with a clever solution for those moments when you simply can't keep your eyes open at work: rentable nap pods.

At The Dreamery, the company's mattress-filled downtown Manhattan facility, snooze sessions in your own private nook can be booked on Casper's website or on a walk-in basis. The $25 fee will get you a pair of constellation-print pajamas, 45 minutes of downtime in a circular sleep pod, refreshments, and skin care products.

One of the common concerns is hygiene, and it's something that Casper has addressed in its FAQ section. According to the company, all of the bedding is stripped and laundered in between nap sessions, "and constant airflow will keep the space feeling and smelling fresher than a hotel room."

Each pod is outfitted with auto-fading lights, a reading light, a sound-absorbing back wall, and a bedside shelf with outlets. Casper also collaborated with Headspace, a company specializing in daily mindfulness exercises, to provide a selection of "sleepcasts" that take listeners on guided meditations of a deep sea submarine expedition or a walk through a surreal landscape.

The lights gradually turn back on at the end of the session, and patrons can freshen up in The Dreamery's lounge with a cup of coffee before heading back to the office or out for a day of sightseeing.

"The Dreamery is about making sleep and rest a part of our regular wellness routines—similar to how many people prioritize a workout class," Neil Parikh, Casper's co-founder and COO, said in a statement.

Located at 196 Mercer Street in SoHo, The Dreamery is ideal for employees in Lower Manhattan who could use a quick catnap between meetings or for visitors who have a jam-packed tourist itinerary, and it stays open fairly late—up to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 6 p.m. on Sundays.
