Moon Pod Review: Floating on a Cloud-Like Bean Bag Chair

Hurting from yet another uncomfortable day at the office? We’ve all been there, and honestly, we get it. We all sometimes need a convenient way to ease our aching joints and let our muscles rest. This doesn’t have to be difficult with the right body support, for instance, a comfy bean bag. 

Today, we’ll take a closer look at one of these shape-adapting chairs — the Moon Pod bean bag. In this Moon Pod review, we’ll share all there’s to know about it, from materials to feels and accessories — we’ve combed through it all. 

Even if you are already prepared to give in to the allure of the comfy Moon Pod, we advise you to first read all you need to know and only then make an informed decision. Let’s start! 

What Is Moon Pod?

A Moon Pod is a large, ergonomic bean bag designed to contour to your body. It’s filled with millions of tiny custom beads that make it soft and moldable. The Moon Pod conforms to your body’s shape, so you can enjoy the support and easily relax and unwind in any position.

It’s interesting that the Moon Pod is created and owned by John Fiorentino, an entrepreneur who we have to thank for another popular anxiety-relieving product, the Gravity Blanket.

Who Can Benefit From the Moon Pod Bean Bag?

There are many reasons why you might need this product. First, if you suffer from anxiety or stress, the Moon Pod can help you relax.

If you have trouble sleeping, it can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly. And if you’re just looking for a comfortable place to lounge around, read a book or watch a movie, the Moon Pod is perfect for that too.

The Moon Pod is also great for people with back pain or other chronic pain conditions. The soft, moldable bean bag conforms to your body and takes the pressure off your joints and muscles. 

This can help reduce pain and improve mobility, as plenty of five-star Moon Pod chair reviews can attest. So let’s get into the nitty-gritty of owning this vehicle to zero gravity. 

Moon Pod Bean Bag Review: Is the Hype Justified?

Size and Shape

Due to the amorphous nature of the Moon Pod, there is no set size for it, with the dimensions being roughly 50–56 inches x 20–24 inches x 20–24 inches. 

So, reserve about 4 square feet of floor space for your new Moon Pod. If by any chance it doesn’t fit — don’t worry! You can easily move it as it weighs just 12lb! As far as the shape goes, once you sit on it, it transforms into a super-comfortable crescent form. 

If you read the Moon Pod bean bag reviews left by buyers, you’ll notice that many people use the Moon Pod as a lounge chair. Those who do take naps in it usually need additional foot support. As comfy as it is, the regular-sized Moon Pod isn’t big enough to replace a bed. 

For those over 6’8” in height, it might not even suffice as a comfortable chair.

Composition

You might’ve figured out from the reviews of the Moon Pod that it needs a super stretchy and durable cover to withstand repetitive shape-shifting. The manufacturer left nothing to chance, so there’s a double cover on the chair made of a mixture of polyester, spandex, and cotton. 

But hang on, that’s not the best part! The outer cover is machine-washable! Pet owners, I can practically hear you celebrating!

Wash the cover as you would any synthetics — you know the drill, a low-heat cycle with similarly-colored fabrics. As long as you follow the tips in this review of the Moon Pod, the cover will last you for years.

After washing, you can tumble dry it, also on the lowest heat setting. Yes, that’s right! Tumble drying is an option for all Moon Pod products (talk about easy maintenance).

As for the filling, the Moon Pod uses high-density expanded polystyrene beads that provide floating support when you lean in. The high-friction beads can withstand up to 300lb of weight, and according to Moon Pod chairs reviews, they are not prone to losing their shape. 

Comfort

The team at Moon Pod (as well as many satisfied buyers) compare the light feeling you get once you’re lounging on a Moon Pod to floating therapy. This anti-anxiety treatment is exactly what it sounds like —  floating in lukewarm water, which is made denser with Epsom salt.

And yes, this is precisely how we felt when doing our in-person review of the Moon Pod. Frankly, you’ll need an extra push to vacate the comfortable kingdom of this bean bag. 

So, beware! A nap can easily sneak up on you on a Moon Pod. Friendly advice: set the alarm before you give in to the pod. 

Your romance with Moon Pod doesn’t have to be just physical, as this bean bag can satisfy your aesthetic needs as well. Available in five different colors, the Pod can fit anywhere, from a modern teenage guy’s room to a lavish living room.

Super Moon Pod Review

Let’s face it, as much as you feel comfortable on the Moon Pod on your own, the fun is multiplied when you have company. This is where Super Moon Pod comes into play. 

This double-sized Moon Pod (50–56 inches x 40–48 inches x 40–48 inches) can accommodate two people, allowing them to reap the benefits of spooning and floating therapy at the same time. Worried if your pets can sneak in too? Super Moon Pod reviews say they absolutely can!

Because of its size, the Super Moon Pod is shipped in two different boxes, which may not be the most eco-conscious approach. One box contains the inner sleeve filled with beads, and the other one has the outer sleeve and the assembly instructions. 

Finally, it should be noted that easy assembly tasks are needed for all Moon Pod products. 

Review of Moon Pod Accessories 

The company has all you need to make you really feel that you’re floating in empty space. The accessories include the Moon Pod Crescent (a U-shaped pillow for your back and arms), the Lunar Lift footrest, and even a pillow in the Moon Pod style. 

Moon Pod Crescent Review

Although sharing the same beads-filled core, this pillow is densely-packed to provide support for your back that’s a bit firmer than the Moon Pod. You can lean on the Crescent and rely on its support that makes an armchair out of your Moon Pod.

This bean pillow is worth considering, as many Moon Pod Crescent reviews say it can be your perfect partner in crime when reading, watching TV, just relaxing, and even working on your laptop. If you’re not that large, it can also serve you as a full-body pillow. 

However, the main goal of the Crescent is to cocoon you in a relaxing embrace. So, you should probably buy a proper reading chair if you mean business and want to keep naps at bay.  

Lunar Lift Review 

This footrest will make your legs feel weightless and make pain a thing of the past. Thanks to its adaptability and supportive filling, it aids blood flow, contributing perfectly to the whole Moon Pod feel.  

Its practical dimensions (it’s 8 inches tall and has a 20-inch diameter) allow Lunar Lift to fit anywhere, and even though it’s only 5lb heavy, it can withstand a whopping 250lb of weight.

Moon Pod 4D Pillow Review

If you’re familiar with the Moon Pod bean bag chair reviews, then you’ll know exactly what to expect from this bean bag pillow. If you liked the Pod, you’ll certainly like the same adaptive-form design of the Moon Pod 4D Pillow, which may be perfect for alleviating neck pain.

Its dual-membrane design, machine-washable sleeves, and high-density beads make sure you’re buying a pillow that’s resistant to flattening, clustering, and most of the other issues that can arise from frequent use. 

You can count on the ergonomics of the Moon Pod 4D Pillow while changing sleeping positions, on a plane, or when napping on your home office desk. Heck, you can even use it to make your knees and back comfortable. Versatile as it is, the Moon Pod pillow can replace countless others. 

Terms of Sale

Shipping

Sadly, Moon Pod only ships within the US. They do have Alaska and Hawaii covered; however, for these areas, you’ll need to pay $125 for every delivery. For all other states, shipping is free. We also need to mention that they don’t ship to P.O. boxes and military addresses.

Return Policy

Upon receiving the product, you have 14 days to decide whether or not you want Moon Pod to be a part of your relaxing routine. If you decide to return it,  you need to submit a request on their webpage dedicated to returns. Then you need to wait for authorization and pay a 20% restocking fee if all goes well.

Granted, the return window is pretty short, and the lack of a trial period is one of the most common complaints in Moon Pod reviews. But all that said, you’ll definitively know if you want this napping machine as soon as you try it for the first time. 

Warranty

Moon Pod gives you the option of purchasing a three- or five-year warranty that covers most accidents like rips and tears or heat damage. The best part is — you can get additional filling on demand! On the flip side, maintenance mistakes, theft, and natural disasters are not covered. 

Price

If you’re into quality anatomic rest, the Moon Pod price won’t bother you at all. But the truth is, this piece of therapeutic furniture isn’t for everybody. 

At full price, the Moon Pod costs $399, but you can expect sales, deals, and discounts as high as 25%! So keep up with their website if you don’t want to miss out. There’s also a referral program.

The Super Moon Pod is $675 without any discounts, but more often than not, it’s offered at a significantly redacted price. Sales can include combo buys with Moon Pod accessories.  

These are not cheap either, and the Moon Pod chair reviews often mention this. The Moon Pod 4D Pillow is $119, and the Lunar Lift is $185 — the same price as the Crescent. 

Keep in mind that they offer Afterpay financing if the available deals aren’t enough to make you consider buying the Moon Pod.
