- Just sit in the middle of it and--
- Right.
There is almost like a little dent--
- There's a little dent.
- that I feel like I can aim for.
- I'll help you. - Okay.
- I'll be able to help.
- There's no making this into a gif if it doesn't work out.
It's pretty comfortable.
(upbeat music)
All right, so this is the Moon Pod.
- The Moon Pod.
- It just debuted on Kickstarter
and it looks like a humanoid beanbag chair to me.
- Yes, perfect.
It started with the gravity blanket.
It sort of chills you out, calms you down,
and yeah, a lot of people really love it.
- [Host] So it was a huge success and this was next up.
- So I wanted to find something
where I could work, relax and watch Netflix,
and then take a nap,
and that sort of started to bring me down
this beanbag route,
and I couldn't find anything that I really liked.
- I feel like beanbag chairs, in theory, are amazing,
but nobody really loves them long term.
Like everybody buys them, they sit on 'em on day one,
and then they end up in the corner.
- Yeh, they're not, someone missed the market.
- How many hours do you think you've sat
in versions of this seat, chair, bed.
- I had a like a live workplace that I was working out of,
and there was literally no furniture
other than all of my beanbag samples.
So for the past year, it's actually the only thing
that I've sat in.
- And ou didn't walk in bent over or anything,
so that's a good sign.
- Yeah. (laughs)
- All right.
Oh wow, it actually does work.
- Yeah, so this is chair position.
- Chair, I have it shaped right.
- Yes,and then you can just lean all the way back.
And then that's what I would call reclining.
- Yeah, see, to me this is laptop,
and now we're in Snapchat mode.
Like Instagram mode, good selfie angles.
- [Guest] I call it Netflix mode.
- [Host] Netflix Mode. (laughs)
- If you wanna try to push all the way back,
so go up a little bit so it catches your neck.
- And you're just chillin' out now.
- That's the nap pod.
You're in the nap pod.
- I'm in a nap pod? - Yeah.
- The idea that this is a gradient piece of furniture
is really interesting to me,
that it has three main modes that are kind of obvious,
but the idea that you can actually automatically shape it...
How much does this cost?
- We're gonna end up retailing it around 399.
- Yeah, I don't know what mode this is.
I kinda dig this mode.
I think I invented a fourth mode.
With gravity and everything, you know,
you guys came out with some health claims at first,
they were challenged,
I know you changed the marketing
and some of the verbiage around them a bit.
This one is going full force
with a lot of the same claims though, right?
That it addresses anxiety, PTSD, ADHD,
you're really leaning into that then?
- Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both.
With gravity, I'm not a scientist,
we weren't scientists,
we were really just talking
to a bunch of physical therapists,
people that work with patients
like autism and PTSD patients,
and all of them say they use this as a method
to treat those things.
You know, at the end of the day
I don't think we're leaning on these claims
as much as the real claim, that I will make forever,
is that these things make me feel incredible.
- Oh, okay.
- [Male] Yup.
- So-so...
Ah, okay.
I do wish it was longer.
I wish it came to the bend in my knees.
- So this is good for me.
This is, I could definitely see myself working.
- [Male] Ohhh.
- And this is more comfortable with my laptop
than I thought it would be,
like right off the bat.
Yeah, it's comfortable.
It supports your whole back
because there's just beads all around it.
This is like the person position for me burning two hours
just looking through amazon
and ordering crap I shouldn't be.
So I've only sat in this chair for about five minutes,
but I really like it.
I really like this as a piece of furniture.
I could totally see buying one.
But what puts me off a little bit
is just the marketing of it.
That they go so far into saying
it could help alleviate something
like your anxiety, or even PTSD, ADHD.
For me, I'd just rather them say,
"Look, it's a super awesome, comfortable, flexible chair
"that will support your lower back".
You know what I mean?
That's enough.
That, to me, is totally enough.
I mean, how awesome is that?
I know this looks stupid, by the way,
and I should sit up, but it's pretty comfortable.
