English term or phrase: POD bed

I'm having to proofread a document which has been translated from English into Spanish and the translator ( I believe latin american due to all the strange terms and verb tenses I found in the texts) has used "camas POD" in his Spanish translation. I'm sure he has just literally translated this and not bothered to do much research and unfortunately the client is taking forever to get back to me on what the original text said in English so my hunch is that these were call pod beds. Anyone know what on earth this is and a possible "good" and not absurd translation into castillian spanish or at least what is it exactly? All I found as pod beds were beds for pets...but that makes no sense in the following text as translated into Spanish...

HOSTAL EN EL CENTRO DE LONDRES RECIENTEMENTE INAUGURADO
Mantenga su estado físico en el gimnasio privado y luego relájese en frente de una TV con pantalla de plasma de 42 pulgadas en este hostal londinense. Entre otras comodidades están las camas pod y una cocina comunal. La estación de metro de Russell Square y la Biblioteca Británica están muy cerca."

pod bed cama radería

Explanation:

camaradería
f. Amistad o relación cordial que mantienen entre sí los buenos camaradas:
en el departamento reinaba una gran camaradería entre compañeros.

No es la traducción, pero creo que es una palabra que deberías aprender antes de hablar mal de tus colegas latinoamericanos.

Saludos y espero que sea de utilidad.
