Sleepbox is a brand offering a bed and associated facilities in a limited space. It is a larger version of a capsule hotel.[1] Some versions include a bed with linen, a ventilation system, alarm clock, LCD TV, WiFi, desk space with LED lighting and electrical outlets for a laptop and rechargeable phone; luggage can be stored in a cupboard under the bed.[2] They exist in New York, Moscow, and other locations, often in airport terminals.[3][2]

When the concept was announced in 2009, there was concern over the transmission of bed bugs.[2]
