When it comes to creating a modern, efficient office, having the right spaces for both collaboration and focused work is essential. While open office layouts encourage teamwork and communication, they often lack the quiet areas needed for private conversations and deep work. This is where office pods like Framery and Inbox Booths come into play.
If you’ve been researching soundproof office pods, you’ve likely come across Framery Booths and Inbox Booths. Both offer unique features, but how do they stack up against each other? Let’s take a closer look.
| Feature | Framery Booths | Inbox Booths |
| Variety of Sizes | Framery booths have the following range of sizes available: Framery One Compact Framery One Framery Q Framery Q2 Framery O Framery Four Framery Six | 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 booth) Inbox Two and Two+ (2-4 people) Inbox Quad (up to 4 people) Inbox Team (up to 6 people) Inbox Clubhouse (largest booth, up to 8 people) Inbox Quad ADA Inbox Team ADA Tuesday Flat Tuesday Peaked Tuesday Plus |
| Soundproofing | Soundproofing levels vary slightly by model, with the Framery Q offering a 29 dB speech level reduction. | Our Inbox Booths lower outside noise by 26-30 decibels — which is ideal for quiet office pods. This means that your conversations stay privy to those inside the booth, without any distractions from the outside. |
| Design Focus | Framery Booths have customizable furniture layouts, optimized lighting, and airflow. Their pods are built with materials like sound control laminated glass and birch plywood. | Inbox Booths blend modern aesthetics with ergonomic design, offering sleek black and white finishes. They focus on providing a comfortable, productive environment with features like adjustable lighting, integrated seating, and ventilation. |
| Purpose | Framery Booths want to empower people at work to get things done and focus on what really matters: solving problems, creating solutions, and building a better tomorrow. | Inbox Booths are created to provide modular solutions that improve productivity and contribute to employee satisfaction by providing quiet, private spaces within office environments. And, they do so at an affordable rate, when compared to other booths on the market. |
| Flexibility | Framery Booths are designed with versatility in mind. The Framery Q, for example, offers three different furniture layouts that can be customized based on the use case, from group meetings to focused individual work. | Flexibility is at the core of Inbox Booths. Their non-permanent design allows them to be easily added, removed, or relocated as office needs change. They are a cost-effective alternative to traditional office renovations and other booths out there. Plus, Inbox Booths have launched smart booths with user-controlled environments, such as lighting, airflow, and sound levels, making them highly adaptive to individual preferences. |
| Certifications | Framery Booths are recognized with several certifications, including UL962, CSA C22.2, and BIFMA, ensuring they meet high safety and quality standards. | All Inbox Booths are fully certified with the following, confirming their commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and performance. BIFMA Level 2Eco-friendly PET – US EPAFabric Fireproof – BS5852CSA C22.2 (Canadian Standard Association) Acoustic Ratings (ASTM E596, ISO 23351, ISO3382-2:2008, ASTM E336-07 Seismic Bracing ISO 2335-1 (Acoustic Rating) (Soundbox) The ISO 23351 test quantifies the degree of speech reduction provided by a specific pod.

Current certificate has our booths ranging from 26dB – 30dB reduction. |
Why Inbox Booths Stand Out
Inbox Booths are designed to create a workspace where your team can excel. Whether you need a quiet area for focused tasks or a space conducive to team collaboration, Inbox Booths provides a versatile, high-quality, and cost-effective solution that aligns with the specific needs of your office. With certified soundproofing, adaptable configurations, and a sleek design, Inbox Booths offer everything needed to boost productivity and employee well-being.
