Sleep Needs

Every child sleeps differently.

The research on children’s sleep is clear. The products available to support it, less so. These guides translate the science into something practical. Choose the challenge that feels most familiar.
Every child sleeps differently.

Designed around how they sleep.

Some run hot. Some notice every texture. Some need more help settling. Others are navigating their first big transition from cot to bed.

The right sleep environment can support all of them differently.

Explore our Sleep Needs to understand what your child might need, what you can change, and how we’ve designed Minó around it.

For little sleepers who run warm, kick off the covers or wake feeling hot and clammy.

Creating a Calmer Bedroom

Guide 6 →

I became fascinated by the things that can affect how children sleep.

The fabric against their skin. The temperature underneath the covers. The light in the room. The way a space feels when they're winding down.

As a mum, I've experienced how much of an impact these seemingly small details can have on bedtime. And how much there is to navigate when you're simply trying to help your child rest.

That's where Minó began.

The Sleep Needs are part of helping parents understand their child's individual needs, and giving them practical ways to create a sleep environment that supports them.

Beautiful bedrooms are nice. Better sleep matters more.

That's why we design children's bedding differently.
