Widely acknowledged by parents as the only place new babies will rest outside of their arms, Sleepyhead® gives parents the freedom to get things done whilst having baby resting happily close by.
Voluntarily tested for mattress firmness, air permeability and indentation force deflection, among other tests, Sleepyhead® sets the standard for safety of this product type, and is working towards creating a safety regulation for pods in general.

The Sleepyhead® philosophy is that parents should never have to compromise between style or function, enabling them to stick to an aesthetic that is minimalist yet chic. Juvenile extras have been purposefully kept at bay to keep the product very clean and functional. Sleepyhead® work with amazing designers from around the world to create styles and covers that are fun and beautiful, working in harmony with today’s sophisticated home and nursery trends.
