Blackout Sleep Pods

SlumberPod's Homebase Supports Kids & Parents of Young Children

— February 28, 2022 — Life-Stages
Homebase is a new product from SlumberPod that's effective for creating a comforting and dark sleep environment for babies and toddlers. The tent-like sleep privacy pod is designed to fit over a crib and it helps to block out the spots where light would ordinarily leak in.

Katy Mallory, CEO and Co-Founder of SlumberPod, says, "For so many families, SlumberPod has been a real game-changer when traveling and sharing a room with little ones. We heard over and over again how they love their SlumberPod so much, and they wanted to be able to use it over their full-sized home cribs." Now, when families with young ones are not traveling, kids get the peace of a blackout environment and the security of a consistent sleep schedule.
Trend Themes
1. Blackout Pods for Adults - Creating similar sleep privacy pods for adults would be a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies that cater to travelers.
2. Smart Sleep Environment - Developing a smart sleep environment with features like temperature control, white noise, and lighting options can enhance the overall bedtime experience, paving the way for startups and established firms to invest in home automation products.
3. Eco-friendly Sleep Pods - Designing eco-friendly and sustainable sleep pods using biodegradable materials would be a forward-thinking investment for companies that specialize in sustainable materials.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Products - There are opportunities for innovation and expansion in the baby products industry for companies developing new products that promote healthy sleep for infants and toddlers.
2. Travel and Hospitality - Hotels and resorts can incorporate sleep privacy pods into their amenities to cater to parents and their young children. This offers an opportunity for companies that specialize in hospitality to partner with sleep pod manufacturers.
3. Home Automation - Companies that specialize in home automation can use sleep pods as an avenue to innovate and create aesthetically-pleasing and functional products that support homeowners' sleep needs.
