Why We Love Co-Sleepers (and Why the Cocoon Lounger Is the Best Baby Nest Out There)

Bringing your baby home is magical — but it also comes with a lot of new questions, especially around sleep. At Hola BB, we're passionate about supporting safe, nurturing sleep environments for both babies and their parents. That’s why we carefully curate a selection of co-sleepers and baby nests that combine safety, softness, and Scandinavian-inspired design.

Here's why co-sleepers are some of our most-loved essentials — and why we believe the Cocoon Lounger is the best and safest baby nest on the market.

What Is a Co-Sleeper?

A co-sleeper is a specially designed crib that allows your baby to sleep close to you — usually next to your bed — without sharing the same sleep surface. It gives you the comfort of closeness while ensuring baby stays in their own safe space.

Why We Love Co-Sleepers at Hola BB

We only choose co-sleepers that meet the highest safety standards and support the beautiful (and sometimes exhausting) rhythm of life with a newborn.

1. Closeness Without Compromise

Baby sleeps at arm’s reach, helping you respond quickly while maintaining safe sleep practices.

2. Support for Night Feeding

Whether you’re breastfeeding or bottle feeding, co-sleepers reduce the need to get out of bed.

3. Gentle Transitions

As baby grows, many co-sleepers can be used as stand-alone cribs.

4. Peace of Mind

Having baby right beside you — safely — eases anxiety during those early nights.

Our Favourite Co-Sleepers

We’ve chosen only a few co-sleepers — because we believe in offering only the best, most thoughtfully made options.

The latest version of this award-winning co-sleeper, the SnüzPod⁵, brings even more functionality to nighttime parenting.

Quax is known for its minimalist Belgian design — and the Teddy Co-Sleeper delivers that signature balance of form and function.

While co-sleepers are essential for safe nighttime sleep, many parents ask us what to use for supervised daytime rest — a cozy space for baby to relax near you while you sip your coffee, fold the laundry, or just breathe.

Our answer is simple: the Cocoon Lounger. It’s the only baby nest we recommend, and here’s why.

What Makes the Cocoon Lounger So Special?

Unlike many baby nests made with foam and polyester blends, the Cocoon Lounger is filled with a natural fibre derived from maize — yes, corn!

Why That Matters:

  • Maize is naturally breathable, allowing air to flow through the lounger and helping regulate baby’s temperature.

  • It’s completely biodegradable, which means less plastic, less waste, and a healthier planet for our little ones.

  • It’s free from synthetic materials, harsh chemicals, and common allergens — giving you peace of mind as baby lounges, rests, and stretches.

  • Covered in soft organic cotton, making it gentle on even the most sensitive newborn skin

Just a simple, safe space that’s as good for your baby as it is for the earth.
