Our Story

Hello Amanda here! A bit about how we got started. The COVID pandemic brought me home from my twenty year career in mental health as a recreation therapist to support distance learning for my two girls. I started making sleeping bags for their stuffed animals so they could have sleepovers at home with their stuffies!

Since then, my girls have been involved in every step of the Sleepover Friends journey, helping select sleeping bag prints, design new friends, and be the first product testers.

My vision for Sleepover Friends is to make quality and comforting products that help kids welcome sleep. Having a little friend to tuck in to bed at night or at nap time makes sleep something kids can look forward to instead of fight!

Our customers have told us that Sleepover Friends have helped with:

BUILDING CONFIDENCE

Sleepover Friends help kids become more comfortable and confident to sleep on their own and in new places.

EASING THE BEDTIME ROUTINE

Kids have an active role during bedtime by tucking their Sleepover Friend in. Especially designed for size, weight, texture, and squishiness to be perfect snuggle buddies.

PROVIDING COMFORT

From getting a boo boo, the sniffles or staying the night in the hospital. When kids are sick, Sleepover Friends make great comfort companions. 

Each stuffy is especially designed for ideal cuddling size, weight, texture, and squishiness to be perfect snuggle buddies.

HELPING WITH CHANGES

Sleepover Friends help with transitions. Whether it is a new baby in the family, moving, or having separate households. They provide familiarity and security during uncertain times. 

ADVENTURES and the PURE JOY Factor!

Sleepover Friends make great adventurers and travel companions on: vacations, road trips, and camping. Wherever you go they want to be by your side: in an airstream, RV, tent, yurt, cabin or laying out under the stars. The spirit of adventure can begin at any age!

Sleepover Friends are in stores all over the Bay Area (CA), and Portland Oregon.
