One natural-fibre pod, from newborn to toddler. Handcrafted in Cape Town.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParents often call it a baby nest or baby lounger. Use it for supervised daytime lounging, cuddles and tummy time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it keep my baby comfortable?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe contoured shape gives the close, held feeling of the womb, which helps settle the startle reflex and calm a restless baby. Merino regulates temperature — warm in winter, cool in summer — so your baby isn't too hot or too cold. Soft cotton knit and neutral tones keep things calm rather than overstimulating, and the wool gently carries familiar scent, the cue a newborn looks for when settling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for sleep?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's designed around the things safe-sleep guidance asks parents to manage. For 0–4 months, the tied newborn cover forms a soft hammock shape that supports back (supine) sleep and gently deters rolling. From 4 months, once your baby can roll with control, you switch to the 4m+ cover. The merino and cotton are fully breathable, the base is medium-firm rather than soft and sinking, and there are no loose synthetic fillings. The pod is made for supervised rest and closeness — it doesn't replace safe-sleep basics, so always supervise your baby and let common sense prevail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd rather your baby didn't sleep in the nest shape overnight, you have a simple option: take the border out and use the nest cover as a slipcover over the flat merino mattress. Your baby then sleeps on a firm, flat surface — with the same breathable merino and cotton — and you can bring the border and nest shape back for supervised daytime rest and closeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long will we use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears, not months. It starts as an enclosed newborn nest, opens into a roomier U-shape from 4 months, then the parts carry on. The border slides under a cot's fitted sheet to soften the edge during the cot transition, and later becomes a cot bumper or tummy-time support. The base\/ moses mattress becomes your toddler pillow to be used with a standard size pillowcase. One considered purchase, used across every early stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it easy to care for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The wool parts are machine washable on a wool cycle (wool detergent, cold water, lowest spin). Don't tumble dry — air out regularly and rotate the cushion weekly for even wear. A KO-COON Merino Puddle Pad is worth adding to protect the base and keep airflow good. Keeping a spare nest cover means one's always on while the other's in the wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it suit my nursery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's made to look calm in a real home. Cover colours: Milky White, Grey Marl, Navy, Fudge, Sky Blue, Blossom Pink, Matcha Green, Mocha Brown and Black (made to order). Swapping covers is a simple way to refresh the look without buying a whole new pod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's it made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMerino wool and soft cotton knit throughout — natural fibre, fully breathable, and naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, mildew and bacteria, which suits sensitive skin. Wool is also naturally flame-resistant, so there's no chemical flame retardant against your baby's skin. Designed with input from paediatric physiotherapists and occupational therapists for even, medium-firm support of the developing spine, neck and head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included? - 5 items:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMerino wool nesting cushion \/ base\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTubular border \/ cot bumper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNewborn cover (0–4 months)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4m+ cover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCotton carry bag.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize \u0026amp; materials\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBase: merino wool inner, soft cotton sleeve, medium firmness, approx. 82 × 50 × 5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorder: merino wool inner, cotton casing, 1.9 m long, detachable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovers and carry bag: 100% cotton knit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDid you know?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNewborns spend around half their sleep in active (REM) sleep — light movement, twitching and brain development all happen here. A breathable, secure and familiar space helps babies move between sleep cycles and settle more easily.
