Patent-Pending Design Creates an Instant Privacy Nook
ATLANTA, GA (April 10, 2019) — It’s hard to travel with a baby, especially when you have to sleep in the same room, but with SlumberPod, parents can finally get a good night’s sleep while sharing a room with their little one. Its unique, patent-pending design makes it the FIRST portable privacy sleep pod that allows toddlers to sleep in their familiar playard with room to sit up or stand inside. Already a Mom’s Choice Gold Award winner and 2019 JPMA Innovation Award Finalist — and developed by mother/daughter duo, Lou Childs and Katy Mallory — the SlumberPod is the perfect and affordable solution for families on the go.
SlumberPod will be on display at The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) Show: Built for Baby at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL on April 10 – 13, Booth #738.
“Most parents have been there, you’re away from home at naptime or for an overnight stay with your baby, toddler or small child, and the room-sharing situation is anything but restful. The little one can’t go to sleep with light in the room, or the baby wakes up in the middle of the night and sees others in the room and won’t go back to sleep,” says creator and CEO Katy Mallory. “That’s what led to teaming up with my mother to develop SlumberPod.”
With SlumberPod®, there’s no more setting up the travel crib in a hotel bathroom or renting an extra room or a suite in order to get a good night’s sleep. Visiting family or friends is much less stressful. Even small children who are sleeping on a toddler cot or inflatable mattress will enjoy the private, cozy space that SlumberPod provides.
It can be used with any standard-sized playard, many mini-crib models, and is also compatible with several cots and small blow up mattresses including the Regalo My Cot Portable Toddler Bed™ and The Shrunks' Junior Toddler Travel Bed.

ABOUT US
The idea for SlumberPod started in December 2014 when Katy and her husband and baby were visiting Katy’s mother, Lou Childs, for the winter holidays. Because it was a packed house, the three had to share a room. The baby woke up two nights in a row—seeing her parents across the room—and refused to go back to sleep. Sleep deprived and frustrated, Katy and her family went home a day early.
Katy scoured the internet for something she could bring on trips to provide her baby a private, dark place to sleep. When she didn’t find anything that fit the bill, she and her mom came up with the solution themselves, and SlumberPod was born!
Together, Katy and Lou have nine children and a total of more than 40 years of experience traveling with children.
