OpenSeed Lotus Meditation Pod FAQs
Is the pod sound-proof?
The pod is constructed using felt panels, which are sound dampening materials. Although it is not 100% soundproof, the pod blocks about 60-70% of the sound from the outside. Users have the option of using headphones or listening to the content via the speakers. They can easily toggle between the two.
Ideally, the pod would be placed in a relatively quiet area. Since the speakers are in close proximity to the user, the actual volume during sessions tends to be low and minimal noise spills outside the pod, although the acoustics of the room/space play a factor.
Is there a warranty included?
Yes. Standard warranty is for 12 months. Extended warranty is available to cover damage or defects caused by workmanship for longer periods. See sales contract.
Are there any other ongoing fees?
Every pod comes with a free content plan. Our premium content plan is an optional upgrade which includes more content options, the aromatherapy channel, and many other premium features in the future.
What are the space, electricity, and connectivity requirements?
SPACE: The actual footprint of the pod is 50 sq. ft., but we recommend allocating at least 100 sq. ft. to allow ample space for users to utilize the pod unobstructed by any other furniture that may disrupt the user experience.
ELECTRICITY: Pod requires one 20 amp electrical outlet. Pod will use about 2,000 Kwh/year.
CONNECTIVITY: Each Pod comes with a wifi-enabled tablet. Internet connection is required for updating content and for real-time log-in uf users (if enabled).
What is the use capacity? What is the session capacity of each pod?
In an 8-hour day, you can fit about 24 sessions of 15 minutes, or about 120 sessions a week.
At an average of 3 sessions per week, per person, that serves about 40-50 people.
Why would a company invest in an OpenSeed meditation pod instead of creating their own conditioned quiet/meditation room?
Building a meditation room or quiet room that is truly engaging and effective for employees is not easy or cheap. It requires designing, planning, permitting, executing, and maintenance. The person in charge would have to deal with multiple vendors (light, furniture, contractors, designers, aromatherapy, content providers, etc). This can be time consuming and can cost upwards of $35K. OpenSeed pods are lower cost, more effective, and more convenient than building a meditation room. Our pods are a much better option for most workplaces. Here’s why:
● Effectiveness – We’ve tested the pod with over 2,000 people at trade shows, a 10-month pilot at a co-working space, a 3-week study involving 30 people. Bottom line: We have shown that meditating inside the pod for just 10 minutes is effective in inducing calm, reducing heart rate, and reducing brain wave activity. It’s also an effective way to learn meditation and breathwork.
● Affordability – OpenSeed meditation pods are much cheaper than building a meditation room. Building a meditation room requires permits, someone to install the lighting, the seating, the content, and maintenance.
● Convenience – OpenSeed pods are a single, plug-and play solution that includes the space (pod), content, subscriptions, and all the future upgrades. The pods can be placed anywhere indoors and in close proximity to work space to encourage daily meditation breaks. The pods can also be moved to different areas of space. (Note: may require partial disassembly)
● Easy Installation – Installed in less than a day.
● Upgradeable – includes upcoming premium features and other immersive experiences.
● Aesthetics – The “sculptural” element of the pod enhances the energy and aesthetics of an environment and serves as a reminder to breathe, meditate, and be well. It can become a symbol of wellness culture in the workplace.
● Personalized – Individual user accounts allow for personalization of experiences, tracking progress.
● Customizable – The felt wall can be customized in different colors and patterns to company style and preferences.
● Unique – Provides employees with an amenity/experience they can only access in the workplace.
How is it cleaned or maintained?
We recommend vacuuming once a week on exterior and interior of pod to remove felt shedding. Vinyl seating and backrest should be cleaned with normal non-toxic cleaners. Recommended deep cleaning (including under the upholstery, fans, and electronics) every 3 months.
We also recommend implementing “pod usage etiquette” with simple things like ‘no drink or food policy” and wiping the touchscreen after each use. Your account manager will assist you in best practices to keep you pod looking great and functioning properly for years.
What happens if something breaks?
Contact support@openseed.co or open a support ticket. You’ll have a dedicated account manager who will respond within 24 hours. If it’s under warranty, we’ll replace it. Most critical parts can be replaced within a week.
We are also in the process of developing:
1) Remote Troubleshooting
2) Video and support documentation
3) Preventative maintenance tutorials
4) Part replacement – most of the critical parts (electronics) can be replaced in about week
5) In-person support – via the training of local installers or if it’s local, we send out our technicians.
