Description

Sleep, Play and More — Naturally.

The world’s first 3-in-1 modular merino wool baby nest, designed to support natural sleep and development from newborn to toddler. Handcrafted in South Africa using fully breathable, hypoallergenic materials and recommended by pediatric physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

Safe. Versatile. Endlessly Reusable.

The KO-COON Merino Wool Nesting Pod is a multi-functional baby essential made entirely from natural merino wool and soft cotton knit. Use it as a baby nest, cot bumper, toddler pillow, tummy time support, and more. Designed to help your baby feel secure and calm during every stage of early development — from the birth to cot transition.

What’s Included:

1x Merino Wool Nesting Cushion / Base

1x Wool Tubular Border / Cot Bumper (1.9m long)

1x Newborn Cotton Cover (0–4 months, tied style)

1x 4m+ Cotton Cover (open at the bottom style)

1x Cotton Knot Carry Bag (reusable for travel/laundry/toys)

Benefits

✅ Natural Thermoregulation

Merino wool keeps baby warm in winter and cool in summer by absorbing and releasing moisture. Helps reduce the risk of overheating or chills.

✅ Fully Breathable & Hypoallergenic

Wool and cotton allow unrestricted airflow and are naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, mildew and bacteria — great for babies with allergies or sensitive skin.

✅ Sensory-Friendly Design

Supports tactile (touch), visual, proprioceptive (body position), and thermal comfort, as highlighted by therapists. The soft cotton knit and neutral tones reduce overstimulation, while the nest's structure promotes calm, restful sleep.

✅ Ergonomic & Endorsed by Experts

Provides medium-firm support without putting pressure on your baby’s developing spine, neck, and head. Endorsed by pediatric physios and OTs for healthy postural development.

✅ Grows With Your Baby

Use enclosed for newborns, open in U-shape from 4+ months, and later repurpose every part — from cot bumper to toddler pillow or fall barrier.

✅ Eases Cot Transition

As baby outgrows the nest, the tubular border can be placed under the cot’s fitted sheet to form a larger, softly contoured sleep space. This creates a comforting, nest-like feeling that helps babies feel secure as they move to a cot or toddler bed.

Did You Know?

Newborns spend 50% of their sleep in active (REM) sleep — light movement, twitching, and brain development all happen here. A breathable, secure, and familiar sleep space helps babies transition naturally between sleep cycles — reducing unnecessary night waking.

What if your baby’s sleep could support brain development, immune strength, and emotional calm — all in one space?

That’s the idea behind our KO-COON Merino Nesting Pod and we have published a blog explaining how it works - Why the KO-COON Merino Nesting Pod 3in1 Is the Most Thoughtfully Designed Sleep Solution for Newborns?

From supporting light REM sleep to promoting deep nighttime rest, this pod adapts to your baby’s needs. And with professional backing from OTs, pediatric physios, and neonatal experts, it’s more than just pretty, it’s purposeful.

Product Details

Component specs:

Parts

  • Nesting cushion/base - Merino wool inner, soft cotton sleeve, medium firmness (approx. 82 x 50 x 5 cm - cushion style)
  • Tubular Border - Merino wool inner, soft cotton casing, 1.9m long, detachable
  • Newborn Cover - Tied cotton cover creates a snug hammock shape (0–4 months)
  • 4m+ Cover - Fully enclosed, allows U-shape for babies (4+ months)
  • Carry Bag - Cotton, reusable for travel, laundry, or storage

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash wool parts on gentle wool cycle with wool detergent and cold water. Lowest possible spin.
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Air out regularly
  • Rotate nesting cushion weekly for even wear
  • Recommended to use with KO-COON Merino Puddle Pads to protect the cushion and promote airflow

Usage & Safety Guidelines:

  • 0–4 months: Use newborn tied cover to create a soft, hammock-like shape that supports safe supine sleep (on baby’s back) and deters rolling. The structure mimics the womb and calms the nervous system.
  • 4+ months: Once baby can roll with control, switch to the 4m+ enclosed cover. The pod forms a U-shape with legs draped, giving more room while still offering a comforting boundary. From this age, babies can typically roll back, and the risk of sleep-related incidents significantly decreases.
  • Cot transition: Place the tubular border under the cot fitted sheet to create a soft, cushioned edge that helps your baby feel secure in a larger sleep space.
  • Common sense must prevail. Supervise your baby.

Soft luxury nesting pod

Still waiting on baby’s arrival but Im in awe of the quality of this nesting pod. It’s super soft and I cannot wait to use it. I know our baby girl will love het pod and have the best nap times. I also love that it can take you a long way and that I don’t need to buy a bigger one, once baby is a bit bigger, simply change the cover and you’re good to go. This is so much more than just a pod for sleeping!

Obsessed with this product

I’ve been using it since baba was born - he is now 5 months old so I’m transitioning him into his big cot, but this was honestly one of our best and most used new born products! It’s so soft and comfy and keeps them so warm and safe
