The unscented comforter is suitable from birth when used in line with current safe sleep guidance. It is made without added fragrance and is designed to be a soft, comforting companion. As with all comfort items, parents should use their own judgment and follow age-appropriate safety recommendations.
Our lightly scented comforter is recommended for children aged 12 months and over. The fragrance is contained within a fully enclosed internal insert and is used at a very low concentration in accordance with internationally recognised IFRA safety guidelines. No fragrance is applied directly to the outer fabric.
For younger babies, or for children with asthma, eczema, allergies, or sensitivities, we recommend selecting the unscented option.
Infants under 12 months can be more sensitive to environmental fragrances, and safe sleep guidance encourages minimal exposure to added scents in sleep environments. By recommending the scented version from 12 months, we are taking a precautionary approach while still offering a gentle sensory option for older children.
The unscented version remains available for families who prefer a fragrance-free option.
In the scented version, the fragrance is contained within a fully enclosed internal insert. No fragrance is applied directly to the outer fabric. The insert is designed to provide a subtle sensory experience without direct contact with the skin.
No. We intentionally use a very low concentration of fragrance to create a subtle and gentle scent. The aim is to provide a comforting sensory experience without being overpowering.
We use fragrance oils formulated in line with IFRA safety guidelines, which are internationally recognised standards for the safe use of fragrance ingredients. The oils are carefully selected and used at low concentrations within the enclosed insert.
While our products are designed with care and safety in mind, individual sensitivities can vary. If your child has asthma, eczema, allergies, or known sensitivities, we recommend choosing the unscented option.
If you notice any signs of irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if needed.
No. Our comforters are designed as soft, comforting items and are not toys. Children should always be supervised when using comfort items, and parents should follow age-appropriate safety guidance.
Comfort items should be used in line with current safe sleep recommendations for your child’s age. We encourage parents to follow safe sleep practices and supervise young children with comfort items as appropriate.
To maintain quality:
● Remove the cushion insert before washing

Yes. We offer both unscented and lightly scented versions so families can choose the option that best suits their preferences and their child’s needs.
If your child is under 12 months, has sensitivities, or you prefer a fragrance-free option, the unscented version is a great choice.
If you would like a very subtle sensory experience and your child is 12 months or older, the lightly scented version may be suitable.
