Created in collaboration between Starpool and Neocogita, this dry bed -- aptly called the 'Zerobody' -- is designed to help users alleviate stress and help to promote endorphin release.
Traditional floating pools or pods have users lay in water for extended period of time, but this design works a little differently. Essentially a heated waterbed, the bed allows users to sink right into it and experience the sensation of pure weightlessness without having to get wet.
The dry bed can be paired with relaxation-focused audio experiences like those created by NU RELAX to create a total sense of calm. When the body is in the bed, it ceases momentarily to maintain gravitational structure and regulate your body temperature. This allows the body to readily release endorphins and experience feelings of euphoria without any drugs or medications.
