Cocoon is a compact, insulated rapid-deployment shelter that creates a protected, private space for an individual, couple or parent and child — indoors, outdoors or in temporary accommodation settings.

• For managed overflow, homelessness and rough-sleeping response, emergency accommodation, displacement, severe weather and humanitarian response.
• Waterproof protective shell with 50mm drop-stitch insulation across floor, walls and roof.
• Deploys in approximately 10 minutes; can be cleaned, packed and redeployed.
• Used by accommodation providers, local authorities, charities, NGOs and emergency planners.

Headline product specification covering construction, dimensions, deployment and weather behaviour.

• External ~2300mm × 1300mm × 1300mm; ~45kg; packed size ~90 × 60 × 50cm.
• PVC with 50mm drop-stitch construction across floor, walls and roof.
• Three vents (one high-level rear, one low-level on each side); three fixing rings down each side; heavy-duty zip with padlock-securable pulls.
• Deploys manually in approximately 10 minutes; faster with electric pump. Wipe clean with soap and water.
• Expected life: factory expectation 5–7 years; commercial planning based conservatively on five.
• Body-heat warming — compact insulated volume allows occupant body heat to warm the internal space rapidly.
• Integrated insulated floor — raised, insulated and stable surface for cold, damp, uneven or damaged ground.
• Wind kept out once closed, with baffled ventilation (no direct draught path).

How to arrange a Cocoon demonstration or run a pilot deployment with your organisation.

• Demonstration formats: hands-on inspection, deployment timing and Q&A.
• Pilot planning: site, scope, timescale, welfare framework and success criteria.
• Deployment discussions: layout, logistics, on-site management, cleaning and turnover.
• Pilot partner expectations: site access, operational team contact, willingness to share structured feedback.

Planning principles for Cocoon deployments — applicable to indoor buildings, serviced outdoor sites and outdoor emergency or supported deployments.

• Doors facing circulation routes; rear-to-rear pairing (~200mm) and ~150mm side separation as a planning basis.
• Indicative corridors: side ~1.2m, end ~2m, cross ~1.5m.
• Fire exits protected, welfare access, and cleaning and turnover routes.
• Indoor and outdoor/site-based deployment; layouts adapted to the building or site available.

Four-tier package logic from unit supply through to a wider physical accommodation package — a reusable shelter asset across deployments.

• Tier 1 — Unit Supply: packed Cocoons delivered for your team to deploy.
• Tier 2 — Delivery & Setup: units delivered, unpacked, inflated and positioned.
• Tier 3 — Indoor Capacity Setup: site layout, numbering, bedding and turnover guidance.
• Tier 4 — Managed Physical Package: wider physical accommodation package with optional facilities support.

Common procurement questions and how Cocoon Relief addresses them.

• Fire resistance and material standards (NFPA 701 / DIN 4102-B1; ASTM F2374 and relevant EN / ISO references).
• Waterproofing and weather behaviour for harsh outdoor conditions.
• Ventilation, condensation and the baffled vent system.
• Cleaning, turnover and inspection between occupancies.
• Indicative lead times: 10 units 7–10 days; 100 units 25–30 days; 1,000 units 45–60 days.
• Rental, purchase, package routes, setup support and pilot options.
