When I ordered the hooded sleep pod in size medium, I was unsure if I chose the right size for me. So the first thing I did when I got it in the mail was try it on to make sure it fit properly. (For reference I am a 5'1 female, about 165lbs and I wear size M or L bottoms depending on the brand) I immediately noticed how silky soft and stretchy the fabric is. It feels so luxurious! The sizing felt just right, perfectly snug and cozy. However, on this night I was also sick and very congested. I tried sleeping in it and gave up. I felt too claustrophobic and like I couldn't breathe. I ended up just holding on to it and laying my head on the soft fabric instead.(Which still felt nice considering) After a few days, I felt better and I tried again. I slept SO, SO GOOD! I struggle with severe anxiety and I am diagnosed with sleep apnea and ADHD(possible AuDHD) so I often have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. Most of the time I do prefer to be snuggled up to sleep so I love how cozy and relaxing it is to fall asleep in the hooded sleep pod. It is well worth the money to have such a good night's sleep. I know there are times when I'm really congested or my anxiety goes through the roof and I feel claustrophobic. So I'd like to get another one that isn't as restrictive for those times. Maybe a sleep pod mini in a size large instead of the medium or a hug wrap would work better for me when I feel that way. 95% of the time this one seems to be PERFECT though. Best purchase I've made for myself in a long time! I wish I could give Angie and Matt a real life hug for coming up with this brilliant sleep pod! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
And since it won't let me publish a separate review for the tween size hooded sleep pod I got for my daughter I will write it here. My 11 year old daughter is also diagnosed with ADHD(possible AuDHD) and often struggles with falling asleep and staying asleep. We have tried a prescription medication to help her sleep and it just made her grumpy all day long and only helped her sleep slightly. OTC melatonin helps her more but I'd prefer to not rely on pills to help her sleep. She is a sensory seeker x100 during the day! I have had to find ways to help her safely release her energy and stop destroying her things and the house on a regular basis. I used to put her to sleep in a swaddle pod as a newborn and she was such a good sleeper! We had a few rough nights when she was teething but she was always a good sleeper until she turned 2 and gave up naps completely. And she has had a harder time with sleep ever since. So I bought this for her thinking it would be similar to the swaddle pod she slept in as a newborn and I was right! She LOVES her "worm suit" as she calls it! And she sleeps so much better in it. It makes me feel better as a mom knowing she's getting more rest as a growing kiddo. I love that when bedtime is getting near she requests that we both put on our worm suits and cuddle until she falls asleep. I'm so happy with it and I'm glad I went with this option for her instead of the compression sheets I was considering. She can wear the sleep pod on the couch or take it with us on flights out of state. I am definitely going to buy her another one to have on hand. This has been such a blessing for her and for me!
It’s warm enough that I don’t need any extra blankets in the summer, though not so warm that I’m cooking hot. I’ll need another blanket in the winter, but that’s fine. I crave pressure across my chest, and so I stick my childhood doll there. The pressure from the sleep pod holding her there is perfect and I sleep wonderfully. It took a few days to get used to it, but now I really love it!
I usually have a hard time falling asleep. I used the hug sleep and I slept through the night. I usually wake up a few times through out the night but I did not wake up once. I love it! It’s soft and very cozy!
falls asleep right away and it's been helping prevent the nail biting
I saw Hug Sleep on Shark Tank and thought it was worth a try. I LOVE it! It improved my sleep score (per my Oura ring and Apple Watch) and is SO soft and comfortable. It’s PERFECT for travel too - so soft and it avoids the scratchy hotel sheets.
Our 9 year old son has trouble winding down at night to fall asleep. Often tosses and turns for 1-2 hours. He has ADHD and anxiety. Now that he has the hug sleep he is falling asleep faster with less middle of the night wakings! Still wakes a little early but we’ll take it being well rested.
Was looking for an alternative to a weighted blanket as was getting overheated at night. This has been great from the first day of use, not waking up all sweaty, has fit well for my 6' frame. Restless legs have not woken me once in the last 2 weeks.
My teenage son absolutely LOVES his Hug Sleep pods!! He said he was shocked at the difference in his anxiety and sleep just on the first night using his pod. He has been using them for about two weeks now, and his sleep and mood have definitely improved! Highly recommend.
My son has been sleeping in an extra hour since he started using it!! No joke. I washed it last night so he didn’t wear it to bed & he was up at his usual time this morning.
It really works. I don’t know how, but it just does. My sleep is improved and I don’t sweat through the night.
Super comfortable and plenty of room to wrap yourself however you feel best. Helps with anxiety and tension!
My 6 year old has never been a good sleeper. We call this his “sleep sack”. He likes to keep his arms out but he puts it on himself every night.
My partner wraps himself up like a burrito, stealing all the sheets and blankets with him, ever night. He also complains about the light in the morning. He scoffed at the hug, and I had to really guilt him into trying it out…. Too tight, too different, I don’t like it…. Then he woke up, after a restful and non-tossy-turvy night, and said “I think this is going to be even better this winter!” Believe!
My son is not autistic or has sensory issues. He's just a little ADHD and loves to cuddle. This has been great for him. He loves wearing it to bed every night.
My girls LOVE these. It definitely helps them stay asleep longer. Hesitant at first because of the price, but 100% worth it.
Bought one for my autistic son who sleeps rolled up in his blankets all night and complains he is too hot. I have bought all the cooling blankets and sheets out there. Slept in this the first night and said it was the best sleep he ever had. His words “Mom I would give it a 100/100”.
Both my boys are sensory seekers, the older recently diagnosed with ADHD. The compression feels great for their little growing bodies and they’re enjoying great, restful sleep. Can’t wait to see long-term results with this product 🙌🏼
My 8 year old has major anxiety at bedtime and ends up in my bed almost every night. Since using the Hug Sleep Pod he is calmer and able to relax to fall asleep on his own. It keeps him tight enough so if he does toss and turn he doesn't wake completely up.
I hadn't gotten a solid night's sleep in 15 years. I have tried so many different things to help me. THIS. This Hug Sleep is what my body needed in order to rest and repair. My chronic fatigue is gone! Thank you!!!
