Dapapod Dimensions & Specifications Guide

Dapapod Dimensions & Specifications Guide

A Practical Guide to Dimensions, Pricing and Workspace Fit

If you are considering a Dapapod, or even an alternative acoustic pod, the starting point is usually the same. You need more privacy, but you do not want to build permanent walls.

Whether the issue is noise in an open-plan office, a lack of meeting rooms, or nowhere to take confidential calls, selecting the right pod comes down to understanding three things:

  • How much space you have
  • How the pod will be used
  • What level of investment makes sense for your organisation

This guide walks you through that decision process so you can identify the right Dapapod for your workspace.

 

Step 1: Define the Problem You’re Solving

Before looking at dimensions, it helps to be clear on the main challenge.

Is the issue quick, frequent phone calls?

In busy environments, people often need somewhere to step away for short calls without leaving the office floor. This is common in sales teams, recruitment and customer-facing roles.

Is it focused, individual work?

Open-plan layouts can make concentration difficult. If your team needs a quiet space for video calls or uninterrupted work, a seated pod is usually the better fit.

Or is it meeting space?

If meeting rooms are limited or constantly booked, a larger pod can act as a practical alternative without the need for construction.

Defining the primary use case will narrow your options straight away.

 

Step 2: Understand Your Available Space

Once you know what you need the pod for, the next step is measuring your environment.

Most Dapapods have a standard external height of 210 cm, which fits within most commercial interiors.

You should also allow for:

  • Door opening clearance
  • Comfortable access in and out
  • Circulation space around the pod
  • Delivery access through lifts and corridors

Pods are delivered and assembled on-site, typically within a few hours, so planning access routes is just as important as floor space.

If You Need Private Seated Focus Space

Single Office Pod

This is the most commonly used pod for individual work. It is designed for video calls, focused tasks and confidential conversations.

Each pod includes:

  • LED ceiling lighting
  • Ventilation fan
  • UK plug socket and USB ports
  • Acoustic foam lining

If your main challenge is noise and lack of focus, this model offers a balanced combination of comfort and space efficiency.

If You Need Space for Two People

Double Office Pod

  • Height: 210 cm
  • Width: 210 cm
  • Depth: 70 cm

Designed for one-to-one meetings, interviews and collaborative work, this pod provides a practical alternative to small meeting rooms.

It maintains the same height as the single pod while expanding in width to accommodate two people comfortably. Like all models, it includes integrated lighting, ventilation and power.

If You Need a Small Meeting Room Alternative

Four Person Meeting Booth

Starting from £6,200.

Dimensions:

  • Height: 210 cm
  • Width: 210 cm
  • Depth: 140 cm

This model is designed for team collaboration, project discussions and hybrid meetings. The increased depth allows for a central table layout, making it function like a compact meeting room.

For organisations that regularly struggle with meeting space, this is often the most impactful addition.

Step 3: Understand Acoustic Performance

Dapapods are engineered to reduce ambient noise by approximately 30 dB, creating a quieter and more controlled environment for conversations and focused work.

They are not fully soundproof, but they are designed to provide effective speech privacy. In most office settings, conversations inside the pod become difficult to hear from a short distance away.

Each pod includes acoustic foam, sealed panels and laminated glass to support this performance.

 

Step 4: Consider Investment and Value

Pricing across the range reflects a combination of design, materials and built-in features.

Each pod is:

  • Manufactured in the UK
  • Built using FSC-certified timber
  • Upholstered in recycled, flame-retardant fabrics
  • Designed with integrated lighting and ventilation

Compared to building fixed meeting rooms, pods offer a more flexible solution. They can be repositioned as your workspace evolves, which is particularly useful for growing teams or hybrid working environments.

This flexibility often provides long-term value beyond the initial investment.

 

Comparing Your Options

Choosing between models often comes down to how each pod balances space, use and cost. The table below provides a clear side-by-side comparison to support that decision.

Final Decision: What Works for You?

Choosing the right pod depends on a few practical factors:

  • Available floor space
  • Ceiling height
  • Team size and meeting frequency
  • Budget range
  • Future flexibility

By starting with your core requirement and matching it to the right size and format, you can confidently select a Dapapod that fits your workspace and how your team works.
