Nook for a Nice Nap

If baby sleeps well, mummy will sleep well; it is a simple fact of life.

But until now, amazingly, no infant bedding system has really dedicated itself to ensuring that well deserved good night’s sleep is had.

Nook is the only infant bedding system that takes into consideration infant breathability, non-toxicity, cleanliness in the creation of all of its products allowing for air to flow though without metal springs of plastic.

The ecofriendly collection includes sheets, sleep sacks, pillows, blankets and, its signature item, the Pebble crib mattress.

No need for sheets or mattress pads with the Pebble crib mattress, as it acts as both.

Complete with layers of organic wool, heat is drawn away from the your sweet one as they slumber and the eucalyptus cover infused with zinc regulates temperature and moisture, all while keeping bacteria, dust mites and mould away.

The company operates out of Hermosa Beach, California and stick by their ‘Made in the USA philosophy’ sourcing local and organic materials for all of their products.

All packaging, printing and manufacturing of their products takes place in California, their certified organic wool comes from family-owned farms in Northern California and Oregon and their organic cotton comes from Texas….so you can dream of your lack of carbon footprints as you and baby sleep.
