Taking a nap at work is typically frowned upon, as bosses often see it as a sign of laziness. What many people don’t realize is a power nap at work can boost positivity and improve someone’s work day in a big way. Now, a new chair has been introduced that will allow you to nap at work like never before!
Invented by the Japanese company Thanko, this chair can easily be converted into a bed. The chair may look like a standard wheeled office chair that you can bend backward, but it is actually far more unique than that. This chair goes all the way down, and there is a cushion that is right beneath the seat and can be pulled out for your legs.
The Lay Flat Office Chair is being sold for ¥49,800 (approximately $600), weighs 48.5 lbs and its dimensions are 25.2 inches wide, 51.2 inches tall.
This comes as taking naps at work is becoming more acceptable in society. The Huffington Post provides nap rooms for their employees during work hours, and Google has been encouraging their employees to nap at work if they feel tired.
“No workplace is complete without a nap pod,” said David Radcliffe, Vice President, Real Estate and Workplace Services.
“You can get incredible benefits from 15 to 20 minutes of napping. You reset the system and get a burst of alertness and increased motor performance. That’s what most people really need to stave off sleepiness and get an energy boost,” explained Sara C. Mednick, Ph.D., a sleep expert and author of “Take a Nap! Change Your Life.”
