Earlier in the year we were contacted by the team at Coronation Street to provide a P Pod to feature in one of their upcoming storylines.  As is common when working with TV production companies, the storylines, timings and release dates were shrouded in secrecy.

Last week the P Pod was featured in a storyline featuring Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) and Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) as their son Oliver is diagnosed with mitochondrial disorder, a rare incurable illness.  The P Pod with its striking purple cover and wheelbase for mobility around the home was spotted in several scenes.  The P Pod combines a standard or custom moulded support within a conventional bean bag base to provide a comfortable seating solution.

The SOS Commercial Director, Steve Stone, stated “we are thrilled to have our P Pod feature on such a well known and loved British soap. It is a great platform for us!”. 

For the soap fans out there, keep your eyes peeled for the P Pod!
