It can stay open for your entire session. The light can stay on. Nothing locks, nothing latches, and the door lifts from the inside with one hand.
It is bigger than the photographs suggest
Our pods measure 84 by 58 inches inside — seven feet by nearly five — with the opening 24 inches from the floor. We also have a float cabin, which is a roomier walk-in space. Ask for it when you book.
