Just launched into the UK's hotel and spa sectors is the Cocoon, a compact, portable and easy to use relaxation system.
It consists of a large inflatable pad - driven by an air pump with a remote control handset - which cradles the upper body from the base of the head to the lower back and can be used either on a bed or on the floor.
As the Cocoon's air chambers expand, they stretch the back, neck and shoulders, and the upper body is supported by a pressure designed to replicate the sensations of floating and weightlessness.
When Cocoon is deflated, the the head and upper body are gently lowered.
Two settings are available: the automatic cycle which inflates and deflates four times over 20 minutes, and the manual cycle which can be customised to create a personal relaxation treatment.
Invented by Paul Smith, who trained as an Alexander Technique and Craniosacral therapist, Cocoon is currently available by direct order only from Quiess Ltd.
