Podtime Sleep Pods Original and innovative, a sleep pod has a wide range of uses but essentially offers a sanctuary for rest in an otherwise busy environment. Ideal for an office power-nap, to have a sleep while you wait for your train, or flight, etc, or take it with you for an overnight stay.
Lark Sleep Monitor The silent alarm and sleep monitor
The basic model comes with either a quality, fitted vinyl covered foam mattress or a standard single mattress, and has the following features as standard:
Additional options are available at small extra costs such as a secure luggage compartment, TV and DVD, leather covered mattress, digital radio, alarm clock and a pull down soft paper couch roll for hygienic and rapid change (for vinyl mattress use). The pods are designed for modular construction and can be stacked up to two levels high for economy of space depending on your site layout. They are easily cleaned and maintained, simple to move, assemble and install and are strong and robust.

Just strap on the Sure-Thing wrist band and set your alarm using the free-to-download iPhone app. When it’s time to wake up, the wrist strap will vibrate gently, getting steadily heavier until you acknowledge it. And even if the worst should happen and the batteries die in the night, your iPhone is programmed to give you an audio cue if you oversleep.
But the wrist strap is more than just an alarm clock....
Over the course of the night it’ll monitor your movement – giving you feedback via your iPhone the following morning on how restless you have been, when you were sleeping most deeply and more. Over time the Lark system will even coach you into a more restful sleeping pattern – helping you to get the most out of your sleepy time and be more productive by day.

The central tube is practically indestructible polycarbonate, and the end pieces are heavy duty rotationally moulded plastic.

The Photo Cube Smartphone Printer The Photo Cube Smartphone Printer uses dye sublimation; producing high quality prints to rival your local print shop. And best of all, it prints them directly from your iPad, iPhone or Android device! At 17.5cm x 15cm it’s significantly more compact than your average home printer; with a footprint small enough to fit on any office desk or workstation. Plug your iPhone or iPod in the top, or connect an iPad or Android device via USB and it’ll even charge your gadgets as it’s working! The Photo Cube app is free to download and a doddle to use. Simply connect your smartphone to the Photo Cube, fire up the app and follow the step by step instructions. And when you’re ready, just hit print! In less than a minute you’ll have a glossy 6 x 4” (standard size) photo. Print a single image at a time, or break up the 6 x 4 space into passport-sized photos. You can even fit several images on the same print. A compact cartridge is loaded with both photo paper and ink. Once you’ve clipped it into position there’s virtually no maintenance required – so no flashing ink warnings and no paper jams. Just 36 clear and colourful prints. When the paper runs out, simply swap the cartridge for a new one and you’re ready to go again.
