Rest for All

Rest wherever people gather

Modular sleeping pods for airports, hospitals, churches, workplaces and public spaces across Nigeria and the wider continent. Quiet, private rest, available by the hour.

“A sleeping child should never cost a mother her seat”

In terminals, wards and long gatherings, a quiet hour is the hardest thing to find. Travellers wait out delays on metal benches. Parents leave before the end because there is nowhere to put a child down. Staff on double shifts take their break sitting upright in a corridor.

We build the room that should already be there. Simple to install, able to run on their own power, and designed so the hour someone spends inside is genuinely restful.

Our philosophy

Engineered for calm

Pods for every setting

HP Single pod

A quiet soundproof capsule for one person's rest.

HP Family pod

Room for a parent and a small child, with gentle climate control.

HP Sanctuary Plus pod

Medical-grade air handling with an automatic clean between stays.

HP Event Dome pod

Built to go up quickly, outdoors, in numbers.

POA: price on application. Pods are specified per site, so we quote after a survey rather than from a list.

Rent, buy, or design your own

01

Rent on demand

For events, seasonal peaks and short campaigns. We deliver, install and take them away again, and you pay for the period you need.

Get started
02

Buy outright

For a ward, a terminal or an office floor where rest is becoming part of how the building works. Yours, serviced under contract.

Get started
03

Commission a fit-out

For spaces where pods should read as architecture. We work from your drawings and match panelling, colour and light to the room.

Deployments

How it works

Indoor installs

  1. 01

    Pick the space

    An underused corridor, a storage room, a corner of a lobby. We survey it and confirm access and loading.

  2. 02

    Plug it in

    A standard 13-amp socket is all it needs. No plumbing, no structural work, no permit for a fixed build.

  3. 03

    Ready to use

    Cleaned, tested and taking bookings within about forty-five minutes of the pod arriving on the floor.

Mobile deployments

  1. 01

    Delivered on a trailer

    Our team wheels each pod into position and levels it, on ground that has had no preparation.

  2. 02

    Solar and battery

    An integrated canopy and battery carry a full day and night, so nothing is drawn from site power.

  3. 03

    Guests let themselves in

    Entry by keypad code or wristband, so stewards are not standing at a door managing keys.

Performance

The numbers we design to, and the ones we are asked about most in site surveys.

  • 12 minutes

    From trailer to ready. In practice the limit is how fast the ground can be levelled.

  • Clean between stays

    A sanitising cycle runs on its own once a pod reads empty, before the next door opens.

  • 0 W from the grid

    Solar canopy and battery on the mobile range, so nothing is drawn from site supply.

Havens: pod spaces that stay open, and stay powered

We work with city authorities and relief services to set up Havens: standing sites where anyone can get a locked door, a clean berth and a few hours of quiet. They run on their own solar and battery, so a Haven does not go dark when the grid does.

Each site has locks the occupant controls, a way to call for help, and filtered air. They exist for overnight travellers, for people between homes, and for anyone who needs somewhere safe to stop.

What makes the rest work

Sound reduction

Layered acoustic dampening brings the noise of a busy concourse down by around 42 dB inside the pod.

Fresh air

Filtration replaces the full volume of air inside roughly every ninety seconds, so it never gets close.

Supported posture

The berth is contoured to keep the spine in line, which is what makes a short rest actually restful.

Cleans between stays

A UV-C cycle runs automatically once a pod reads empty, before the next person can open the door.

Our promise

“Rest is a basic human right. Not a luxury, and not a commodity. Rest for All.”
The Hiding Place Council

Rest for All starts here

Occasional updates on new installations, Havens going live, and what we are learning about rest in public places.
