The benefits
What is a baby nest + pod?
Also known as baby pods, sleep pods and sleeping nests, they act like a cocoon for your newborn or baby to rest in. They typically feature a base mattress with wraparound padded sides and mostly used as a cosy, comforting place for your little one to lounge in, with some parents using them for supervised tummy time or simply somewhere to place their little one if they need their hands free. One on the market, the Purflo Sleep Tight Baby Bed is even certified safe for overnight sleeping.
Let's take a look at the wider benefits...
Safe + Convenient Baby nests and pods help to create a safe, convenient space for your little one to rest in. Babies love a little wriggle and kick when lying down, which is why the ergonomic wraparound sides of nests + pods keep them gently cocooned while under supervision.
Only the Purflo Sleep Tight Baby Bed has undergone a comprehensive risk assessment and safety testing relevant to marketing it as suitable for unsupervised, overnight use.
Calming + Comforting
The snuggling sensation of the more cocoon-like models has been proven to be highly effective at calming and comforting your baby. Brilliant when you need extra support, or your hands free.
One of the first on the market, Sleepyhead of Sweden (now known as DockATot) was created to offer a gentle womb-to-world transition to soothe newborn babies.
Portable + Lightweight
One of the most notable benefits of a baby nest and pod is that you can not only use it at home, but you can take it with you in the car, to visit grandparents, or even for an outdoor picnic.
In their first few months, little ones need lots of rest throughout the day, so the portability of baby nests and pods offer a place to lounge wherever you go.
Easy to clean Most baby nests and pods feature a removable wash cover and some are even fully washable. You can typically choose from a range of covers with super cute designs.
