Buying Guide
When designing a modern office, creating spaces that balance collaboration and privacy is key. While open offices encourage communication, they often lack the quiet spaces needed for focused work and private conversations. This is where phone booths and modular workspaces come into play.
If you run a Google search on phone booths for offices, you’ll see a few options show up alongside Inbox Booths— Loop booths being one of them. It’s important to take a look at what each of the office booth companies offer to make an informed decision for yourself. Keeping that in mind, we want to highlight how Loop booths measure up to Inbox Booths.
Let’s break it down.
| Feature | Loop Booths | Inbox Booths |
|---|---|---|
| Variety of Sizes | Loop offers four different sizes of booths: Loop Solo, Loop Cube, Loop Access, and Loop Access 2 | Inbox Booths offer a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet diverse office needs. From single-person booths perfect for focused work, to larger, multi-person setups ideal for collaborative meetings, Inbox Booths provide the right fit for every workspace. Inbox One and One+ (1 person). Inbox Two and Two+ (2-4 people). Inbox Quad (up to 4 people). Inbox Team (up to 6 people). |
| Soundproofing | Loop Phone Booths reduce decibels by up to 35 with an average NIC rating based on third party laboratory testing of 31. | Our office booths lower external sound by 30 decibels — which is optimum for quiet pods. This means that your conversations stay privy to those inside the booth, without any distractions from the outside. |
| Design Focus | Loop, designed by Onetwosix, offers office phone booths with a wide range of customization options. These include exterior finishes like wood or laminate, and multiple upholstery options in various colors. With numerous finish combinations available, Loop’s pods can be tailored to suit different business needs and aesthetics.

| Purpose | Loop addresses common workplace challenges by focusing on sustainability, aesthetics, and functionality in their design solutions. | Inbox Booths are created to deliver modular solutions that not only improve productivity but also contribute to employee satisfaction and well-being by providing quiet, private spaces within office environments. |
| Flexibility | The single-piece construction of the Loop Solo, along with the module-based design of the Loop Cube and Loop Access units, allows for quick delivery, reduced costs, and easy mobility within a space. The Loop Solo also requires no on-site assembly. | Flexibility is at the core of Inbox Booths. Designed to be non-permanent, these booths can be easily added or removed as office needs evolve, making them a cost-effective alternative to traditional renovations and other office booths out there. Inbox Booths have also launched smart booths, where users have more control over their environment, such as lighting, airflow, and sound levels, making them not just flexible but highly adaptive to individual preferences. |
| Certifications | All Loop Phone Booths are fully certified with the following: UL962 (Standard for Safety for Household and Commercial Furniture), CSA C22.2 (Modular Wiring Systems for Office Furniture), BIFMA e3 LEVEL 2 (Socially responsible and sustainable products), formal office pod certifications including fire testing, tip testing, strength and mechanical testing, and full product electrical testing. | All Inbox Booths are fully certified with the following: BIFMA Level 2Eco-friendly PET – US EPAFabric Fireproof – BS5852CSA C22.2 (Canadian Standard Association) Acoustic Ratings (ASTM E596, ISO3382-2:2008, ASTM E336-07Seismic Bracing.
