Bedtime shouldn't take longer than bath time.

Introducing the Junior Sleep Pod, a gentle compression cocoon designed for toddlers who've outgrown the sleep sack but still need that snug, "I'm being held" feeling to fall asleep.

Try It for 30 Nights
30 night sleep guarantee
  • Bedtime in minutes, not hours

    Gentle compression helps little bodies wind down faster — without the battle.

  • Feels like a parent is still there

    Full-body hug sensation gives toddlers security and keeps them tucked in all night.

  • Made for the sleep sack graduation

    They've outgrown the sack. Junior gives them that same cozy, wrapped-up feeling — just bigger.

  • Lightweight & breathable

    No heat, no bulk. Cooler than a weighted blanket and easy for small kids to move in.

"11 yo boy who's love language is physical touch, loves it. He's always been a light sleeper, and I was finally able to walk in, cover him and walk out without him waking up for the first time. Night 3 and 🤞🏻here's to many more nights of solid sleep!"

Janet

Sound Familiar?

  • Bedtime takes 60–90 minutes and ends in tears (theirs and yours)

  • They need you in the room — or in the bed — to fall asleep

  • They graduated from the sleep sack but nothing has worked since

  • They're anxious at bedtime, scared of the dark, or keep coming to find you at 2am

Junior was built for exactly this.

Sleep sack comfort.

For bigger kids.

The Junior Sleep Pod is a lightweight, stretchy compression cocoon that wraps your toddler in gentle, full-body pressure — the kind that signals to their nervous system: it's safe to relax now.

They slip in, feel the gentle hug, and their body does the rest.

  • Ages 2–6
  • 4-way stretch
  • Oeko-tex certified
  • Machine washable

Why does gentle compression help kids sleep?

It's called Deep Touch Pressure Therapy — and it's the same reason babies calm down when you swaddle them.

Step 1

Full-body compression

The pod wraps around your child from every angle, providing gentle, even pressure across their whole body.

Step 2

Nervous system response

That pressure signals the brain to release serotonin and reduce cortisol — the calm-down chemical and the stress chemical. Their body literally shifts into rest mode.

Step 3

They fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer

With their nervous system regulated, overstimulation and bedtime anxiety take a backseat. Most parents notice a difference within the first few nights.

“For our daughter who just turned 7, it's incredible how easily she falls asleep in less than 5 minutes and she loves it.”here's to many more nights of solid sleep!"

Maria

What most parents notice

  1. Night 1–2

    Something shifts at bedtime

    Most toddlers take to the pod right away — the cozy bean shape makes it feel like a game. Bedtime resistance usually starts to drop. Some kids fall asleep faster the very first night.

  2. Week 1

    Fewer wake-ups, calmer mornings

    As their body gets used to the compression, nights get more consistent. Parents start getting to the couch before 9pm.

  3. Week 2+

    It becomes part of the routine

    Kids start asking for it. The pod becomes a bedtime cue — a signal their body recognizes as time to wind down. That's when the magic really kicks in.

Try it for 30 Nights

Not happy? Full refund. No questions.

What Sleepers are Saying

Sleeping Like a Baby
5 out of 5 stars

"This has helped my adhd and anxiety. I always sleep with my arms wrapped around me and a blanket. But sometimes I’m too hot or too cold or I roll and the blanket slides. The hug sleep pod prevents all of these problems. I don’t get too hot, I always have a blanket on me. I don’t feel trapped and have woken up with a foot out or an arm out- so it is easy to move in."

Take All My Money

"My only regret is not finding this years ago. My 13 year old son has always struggled to sleep more than 7 or 8 hours at night, we actually have a sleep study scheduled for him. I might cancel it now, because he's been sleeping 10-11 hours every single night since we got this. It's unbelievable, he's more rested and has more energy. I think life changing is not too bold a statement. Thank you for creating this, forever grateful!"

Best decision

"I really didn’t want to drop this kind of money on something I’d never tried, but my 5 year old hasn’t slept well his whole life. He was born with substances in his system and sleep hasn’t come easy from the day we picked him up from the hospital. He has only slept through the night about 15 times in 5.5 years. This sleep pod was EXACTLY what his little body needed. He loves it and says it feels like a hug."

Kid-approved!

The fabric is high-quality, comfortable, and breathable enough that I don't worry. My kid is the kind that vibrates all day long and can't slow himself down even when he's tired. We picked out his sleep pod together and he agrees that it calms his wiggles and has a "satisfying" squish level. He goes to sleep faster and leaves his bed less often when he uses it.

This perimenopausal woman loves it!

I am a 43-year-old perimenopausal woman. I don't have a hard time falling asleep, but I do have an Oura and get a sleep score every night. Since getting my hooded sleep pod I've had more nights with higher sleep scores. I am falling asleep much faster when I wake up. I don't use the hood, but I like that it's an option for the winter when I get cold. I typically keep my feet in the pod all night but I like the option to take them out easily if I get a little hot. I don't find it restrictive like a sleeping bag. I'm planning to buy my sister one for her birthday now.

Used every night - anxiety last lessened

My daughter has had a lot of anxiety going to bed so we bought this hoping it would help calm her brain and IT DID!!! She is very sensitive to different fabrics and the softness along with the flat seams makes her very happy. The only thing I would've done differently is measure how tall she is against the size of sleep pod mini. I think I'll have to buy the longer one that goes down her legs as well.

Where has this been all my sons life!?

Since the day I bought this my 7 year old son that can’t sit still has been falling asleep in salt quick, and staying asleep longer. I truly don’t know why I didn’t buy this sooner. This is a God send for us. He calls it his “cocoon” and asks for it when he’s starting to wind down. Thank you so so so so much!!!!!

Daughter Loves it!

My daughter calls it her pillow cause she thinks she looks like a pillow when she wears it! She loves sleeping in it and even fell asleep by herself one night and falls asleep faster than usual! Definitely worth the purchase.

A note from Matt & Angie

Matt and Angie, founders of Hug Sleep

Hey —

We started Hug Sleep because we couldn't believe how many people — adults, kids, everyone — were struggling to sleep when something as simple as gentle compression could help.

When we pitched on Shark Tank, we talked about the science. But the messages that mean the most to us are from parents who write in saying their kid finally slept through the night. That their bedtime routine went from chaos to calm. That they got their evenings back.

Junior is for the next chapter of that, for the littlest kids who still need to feel held to sleep, but have grown out of the products designed for babies.

We built it for your family. We hope it gives you the nights back that you deserve.

— Matt & Angie, founders of Hug Sleep

Everything you need to know

Junior is designed for toddlers and young children ages 2–6. For kids ages 5 and up, check out our Kids Sleep Pod Mini and Kids Hooded Sleep Pod.

Your kid deserves a good night's sleep. So do you.
