Sleepyhead Sleepyhead Deluxe+ Pod

We bought our sleepyhead when our first daughter was 4 days old as she wouldn’t be put down in her cot and stay asleep. Once we bought the sleepyhead the snugness of the mattress around her kept her feeling safe and asleep. We bought the larger size when she outgrew the smaller one. Only down is the spare covers are very expensive.

We had a baby who was extremely small, and so the sleepyhead gave her really comfort through the night, and she slept through from about 7-8 weeks old in her own cot (in our room). However I believe if you are to have a Moses basket or crib etc this would not be necessary, it was purely because she was straight into her cot.

Josie slept through the night from 3 weeks old when I put her in her sleepyhead deluxe it’s easy to wash and goes back on easy! Love everything about it definitely using it on baby no2

We managed to get our Sleepyhead (in beautiful Banana Leaf print) for a little bit cheaper at a Baby & Toddler show - but would pay full price as you can't put a price on a good night's sleep!
Our son slept so badly (and still does, 7 years later) so we were really keen to try the Sleepyhead Deluxe+ after reading so many glowing reviews. I can indeed add to the positive sleep stories as our 5 week old sleeps marvellously in hers. The cover is easy to machine clean, but I would recommend buying a spare cover so you've always got the Sleepyhead at hand to use. For added security we're using the Angelcare Sensor Pad underneath our Sleepyhead - and can confirm its compatible.

This is my newborn must have! My daughter has had so much use out of it, although it is now not recommended to use with unsupervised sleep. She has all her naps in it from day one and always looks so comfortable and snuggled.

The padding is great, nice and thick and material is easily removed, washed and dried, can be fiddly to replace.
The only negative is that it is expensive and the spare covers are also expensive, however I would buy over and over again and it is a nice quality product!

The Sleepyhead is THE BEST baby product I bought for my son! I was sceptical as its expensive but after many sleepless nights and catnaps I caved and bought one. Originally my son wouldn't settle anywhere except on me, as soon as I would try and put him down he would wake and cry whether it was day naps or night time, as much as I loved cuddles I simply couldn't cuddle him 24/7. The moment I put my sleeping son in the Sleepyhead he wiggled a little to get comfy and stayed asleep for 4 hours! I started trying putting him down awake and he began to associate the sleepyhead pillow with naps so would settle himself. My son is very long for his age so the clip to open the bottom is very handy, it fits perfectly in his next to me crib and is easily portable for naps at grandparents or friends houses. You will not regret buying this product, it's such a shame it's so pricey though as this does put people off.

Absolutely loved this product. On those nights when you think you’re not going to get any sleep and every time you put the baby down they cry this product worked like a dream.
We used in in the bed between me and my partner and had the comfort on knowing the baby was protected by the cushioned side, so soft and very comfortable.
Also great for naps and moving the baby from room to room when still asleep.
Only thing that bothered me was that when you wash the cover it was quite had to get it back in right.

My daughter absolutely loves her sleepyhead! I bought this in passing as I saw it at a toddler and baby event so I thought why not. Since birth she’s always been a little sleeping beauty but she prefers to be swaddled or held to sleep. This is absolutely perfect as it keeps her nice and snug without it being too closed in on her. She still manages to stretch and wriggle about as well as falls asleep so well and so peacefully in it. I love the fact of how well it washes and goes back together it’s so easy! And there are loads of different covers you can also buy to go with it, it’s perfect! It’s so perfect for tummy time play too. She sleeps in this in her cot. It’s so light and durable that if we are playing downstairs she’ll take a nap on it or just lounge around wherever we are, this has even come on holiday abroad with us and to various locations in the UK. It fits into your suitcase perfectly. I am going to buy the bigger one next month as she is getting a little big for it now. I can’t wait to try out the bigger one. Overall I would buy this over and over and over and I would recommend this product to any expectant, new or experienced mother out there! It’s certainly got my vote.

I've used a sleepyhead for both my daughters and they have been the only reason why I've actually slept! Both girls have immediately fallen asleep and stayed asleep in them and because they're so easy to move around we've used them for day naps, travel cots and Co sleeping! Only downside is that although the covers are washable, they are a pain to get back on.. So go for one with a pattern! Best of all they have a high ré sale value so you can sell on afterwards!

This was a must buy on every website and blog for newborn musts and I was lucky enough to be gifted one at my baby shower. It is very well designed and made and when my son was a newborn it really helped him to sleep well and feel safe and secure. He would nap in it and we put it in his snuzpod at night (it fits in perfectly btw). It is easy to travel with and means baby has a familiar place to sleep. It was also great to put in our bed so baby could co sleep but still be safe and secure. Now he is 5 months he has pretty much outgrown it which is a shame as it is meant to be for up to 8 months and he is not particularly big for his age.
The spare covers are also expensive but they have some beautiful designs.
I would definitely recommend this for all newborns but be prepared for it to not last up to 8 months.

My daughter loves sleeping in her sleepyhead,
Being a smaller baby she loves being swaddled and cosy, so with the sleepyhead this has been made possible.
She feels safe and secure which I believe is why she has slept so well from day 1.
Would 100% recommend this product.

We used this from day one of our baby coming home from hospital. We could tell straight away that he definitely needed a feeling of security and would only sleep if he was swaddled and in the sleepyhead. It's so soft and well cushioned that it has made the perfect bed for him.
The only issue is that the covers are expensive and can take a long time to dry. I think each family do need two covers so they can be rotated while once is being washed/dried.

I brought this product in the middle of the night after 3 weeks of little to no sleep with a reflux baby. I was quite sceptical at first I mean how was a big cushion going to solve our sleep issues? Well I have to say that this is one of the best baby products I have invested in and from the first night we used it he slept a solid 5 hours which he had never done. If I was to have another baby I would skip the moses basket and go straight to the sleepyhead in a cot. We have now been using this everyday for 3 months and we have had only a handful of nights where he has not slept well mostly from being poorly etc. I brought this product because of the amount of testing it had been through and the fact it was certified for safe overnight sleeping.
The downside to the sleepyhead is the price of it, it really is an investment and a risk you have to take as to whether or not your baby will like it (but sometimes you will do anything to get some sleep).
I am in desperate need of a spare cover but these themselves are very pricey so I'm making do with a muslin under baby as he can be rather sicky due to his reflux. The covers are also not able to be tumble dried and do take a little while to dry, they can also be difficult to put back on.
All in all I would definitely recommended this product despite some of its faults and will be investing in the next size up once my little one has outgrown the deluxe.

We bought a sleepyhead when our daughter grew out of her coocona baby, we were concerned that she wouldn't transition from one to another however we didn't need to have any concerns as she settled in her first night, she likes to snuggle against something and the sides of the sleepyhead make her feel snug and cosy. We still use this in her crib but will move it into her cot very soon. My daughter sleep soundly all night and is very content. They are slightly expensive but well worth the investment.

The sleepyhead gave us so much relief for the first few months. It kept baby on her back, she didn’t move from that position. It’s comfy and easily can be cleaned. I found that baby outgrew this before 8 months. You can’t take anywhere around your home and even take it out for baby to sleep comfortably

Couldn’t recommend this enough!

- You can put your baby in it knowing they’re safe and can’t roll out leaving you time to go and make yourself a nice cuppa / have a shower!
- It’s easy to take the cover off to wash and it dries fairly quickly too!
- Portable - Easy to take if you go out for picnics, for nights away or a day at the grandparents!
- The sides of it makes your baby feel cuddled so they fall asleep feeling cuddled but you can put them down for a bit.

The only downside to this is the price! However I’ve definitely got my money’s worth, probably one of the things I’ve used the most!

This is definitely very expensive for what it is, but nonetheless its very good.
My little one has slept in his since day one, in his moses basket, in the lounge when napping (on the floor or on the sofa with me), in a travel cot, and now it has transitioned him into his cot with ease. He has slept through from a few weeks old and I put it down to his comfort in this. The easily changeable cover also makes keeping it clean easy and he doesn't have to go a night without it. It's just a very luxurious price as well as the spare cover. But price per use has been so worth it!

Although this product is expensive, I wouldn’t be without it. My baby likes to be pulled in closely and sleeps much better at night with the sleepyhead because it makes her feel like she is being hugged at night. The product comes with a bag so moving it is easy. The cover has a zip so the whole product can be washed. An expensive product that I will keep incase I wasn’t another baby.

I purchased the sleepyhead after 10 weeks of sleepless nights. I went for a sleepyhead over any other similar products because of the many safety tests the product has gone through making it very safe for supervised sleeping. The sleepyhead fits perfectly in my next 2 me crib and makes my baby think someone is still holding him so therefore doesn’t wake up as soon as he is put down. From the first night I used it he slept through the night when before we were waking every hour or so. Seems very comfy for baby. Only negative is the price and that it is expensive to buy a spare cover so have to put a Muslin under baby’s head to prevent any spit up on the sleepyhead. But all in all I would definitely recommend every new parents to buy one.

I would recommend this to any new parent - my son was unsettled until we bought this. The design means they feel surrounded without being swaddled. It’s easy to wash the covers and to move around the home when you need to put your newborn down.

The only draw back is the price and I think they should at least provide a spare cover as in those early months, you do get accidents!

Initially very reserved about buying one due to the price. Also had recently purchased a puddle pod and son didn't get on with it - I didn't feel comfortable putting him in it.
The Sleephead was recommended by some mum's at my yoga group so I purchased one.
It's a fabulous design and my 4 month old son loves it! First night he slept for 2 4 hour blocks - previously only slept 2 to 2 and a half hours.
It's really lightweight so portable for taking to grandparents and he loves to nap in it.
It's also great for putting in his cot, making him feel more secure.

The only baby must have you need for a baby to sleep. My parents are always saying how they wish these were around when I was a baby even though it’s so simply.

Pros:
- Beautiful cover designs for different genders
- Decline in the mattress/structure to help with reflux
- Easy to take anywhere and fit in the car even when it’s full
- Bottom unclips to help grow with baby
- Fits perfectly in next to me crib so it stops baby rolling all over and makes them feel safe
- Fits under playmats

Cons:
- Price (very steep for something that may not last too long if you have a tall baby like myself) (the covers are also expensive as you will need one for when you wash the cover and still want to use it)

This item changed night times for us completely. Our velcro baby, who hated to be swaddled, was finally happy to be put down to sleep in his own crib (inside the sleepyhead) and was soon spending the entire night doing so, aside from feeds. Now at 9 weeks he will even be put into the sleepyhead awake at night and self settle to sleep. The sleepyhead head is also slight inclined to help prevent reflux and is said to help prevent flat head. Our baby has a lovely round head.

It is a bit pricey but you can't put a price on sleep!

I was really sceptical when I was pregnant about getting this. It seemed like a heck of a lot of money to spend on what I thought was a cushion. I read a lot of reviews and decided I wanted to give it a try and I’m so glad I did.
I used it as a bed for the baby to sleep in downstairs in the day time so I could keep an eye on him. I could move it from room to room easily so he was always where I wanted him to be and when he got a little older, I put it inside his Moses basket as he slept better feeling cocooned.
I also used it as a travel bed when he was small as it was much easier to carry around rather than a travel cot. It meant when I would visit my mum, I could put him on the other side of the bed in his sleepyhead.
Very very useful and I’ve packed it away ready for baby number 2.

Bad points.....
There are less expensive options on the market. I don’t know if this is better or worth the extra money as I haven’t tried the others.
It’s white...... anyone who makes baby products in white fabric clearly don’t have children of their own! Facts!

I used the sleepyhead deluxe as soon as my daughter was born. It was so great to be able to change her, entertain her and allow her to rest in a place so cozy and secure. Especially useful when you need to put baby down for whatever reason. My baby girl loved this. I think she felt safe and comforted by the ‘enclosed’ structure of the product. We used this until she was about 6m old as then it felt a bit restrictive (although my daughter is a big baby and the ‘average-sized’ baby would probably happily fit until 8m. I guess the biggest downside was how regularly I had to wash the cover as it really does show mess. Having said this it did wash well and was easy to put back on. It does come with a hefty price tag however I would highly recommend purchasing if you can. It saved time, comforted my child and was easy to store away. A great product!
