The tinted glass is usually clear when not in use. The pods open by a piece of the glass in the shape of a flower petal folding down. The interior of the pods is completely black and gives the illusion of a large, shadowy room. It is also important to note that in the room where Donald and Goofy's pods are, there are more pods, and when one examines one of them, it says that there is evidence that it has been used before, but it is unknown who may have slept in it and why.

The Pods are crystalline devices. When closed, they resemble a marble structure in the shape of an unbloomed lotus flower. They open by "blooming", revealing a crystalline chamber within, covered by circuitry. The crystal is usually transparent when not in use. The interior of the pods is completely black[citation needed] and gives the illusion of a large, shadowy room.[?] They can come in multiple sizes, as Donald and Goofy sleep within small Pods arranged in rows in the Basement Corridor, while Sora sleeps within a much larger Pod placed by itself in the Pod Room.
