A quick search yielded damning results for this team and their unethical business practices. Skimming through the comments on Gravity Blanket and even this product on Kickstarter does not paint a positive picture. Further promoting their products or any product they are involved with would only be a disservice to the users of Product Hunt.
Pros:
Neat concept
Cons:
Tainted by unethical business practices from a previous product
Hi @jeffrey - To be clear, Moon Pod is a different company from the previous product. We're taking steps to ensure that everything runs smoothly during this campaign, and beyond. We’ve made the careful decision to ship Moon Pod to only the 48 contiguous United States in order to ensure that backers receive their Moon Pods, and minimize any errors in transit. Our manufacturers are ready to go, and our customer support team is here to respond to any backer questions or requests.
It also looks like a nice piece to have in an apartment. not your typical bean bag,
Pros:
Super relaxing and comfortable
Cons:
no better alternative

I have to say i got this for xmas and i don't really get all the negative stuff on here. I have to say tho, i was not expecting to learn what the price was, that came as a bit of shock. The hate on here is weird
Thanks for the hunt @ryandawidjan!
After the success of the Gravity Weighted Blanket, I was determined to continue my mission to help the world relax a little easier. Today, I’m launching Moonpod!
Moonpod is a lightweight beanbag engineered to make you feel like you’re floating. It’s the perfect complement to the the Gravity Blanket, and I’m truly excited to share it with you today -- we just launched on Kickstarter.
I promise you it is actually the most comfortable thing you will ever sit, work, or nap in.

@ryandawidjan@johnnyfio You may want to read some of the comments about people's experiences with the Gravity Weighted Blanket. I wouldn't go around calling it a "success." It impacts your credibility in a negative way, so then to "promise" something afterward is living on the edge.

I backed their gravity blanket and was shipped a faulty product. It is now seven months into getting an exchange and they fail to respond. Cannot and will not trust this company again. How about instead of releasing a new product, fix the one you have and honor your commitments.
Hi @jason - To be clear, Moon Pod is a different company from Gravity. Also, we're happy to say we've shipped thousands of Moon Pods to happy customers. If you have questions feel free to contact our team at cx@moonpod.co.

I have received two of these now and am incredibly disappointed. They are not as firm as they appear on the video. Very loosely packed and if you shift it begins to quickly sink to the floor. The second one i received was worse than the first. Discounted price of $199 was way too much money for this product. I was so excited to get this product as I have the weighted blanket and eye mask and thought it was be so relaxing and comfortable to use all three together. You would be better served to go to a float tank thank buying this product.
Pros:
Product is overpriced bean bag chair
Cons:
Does not work as video implies

They will charge you false amount. They showed me $4.91 but charged me $53.24. Please be aware of such fake and false company. I will never order anything from here. They are fraud.
Pros:
Fraud Company
Cons:

Same thing happened to me. Did they deliver the product to you? If not did you register a complaint.what is the status now?
I posted this below, but want to ensure you see it too.
The offer you're seeing is a fake offer by a fake company. We're sorry that this has happened. We've tried to contact them several times to stop this operation, and we'll continue to try until they do stop. This offer has been circulated mostly in India from what we've seen. We also sell Moon Pod ONLY in the United States. If you are not located there, you wouldn't be able to checkout on our website. If you didn't buy Moon Pod off of our website, www.moonpod.co or a verified online reseller, then you are not purchasing Moon Pod.

Avoid!!!
Pros:
Don’t know yet
Cons:
They are frauds! Their shopping cart displays $4.91 but they charge you $55!
Don’t fail prey to their unethical tactics!

I got this on Kickstarter, and it's literally a bean bag chair. It doesn't mimick weightlessness, and it certainly doesn't help with anxiety, as it's just as noisy as a regular bean bag. It's not worth the money at all. I'm really disappointed with the deceptive advertisement by the company.
