What about luggage? Is it clean?

There's a compartment for storing luggage underneath the mattress. The area is also fenced off for more security.

The pillow and blanket come washed in a sealed package. The fitted "sheet" for the mattress is like that material you find on those disposable hygiene covers in hospital beds. So when you're done, you put the pillow and blanket in a bin to be sanitized, and then a cleaning person throws away the fitted sheet and sanitizes the mattress with a disinfectant spray.

Inside the sleepod, there is a USB port and an electrical outlet so that the traveler can charge his phone and electronic devices.
