The Gift of a Sleeping Dove Comforter During Pregnancy

Last year, a friend asked us what we thought about gifting the Sleeping Dove Comforter to her niece, who was in the last few months of her pregnancy. Her niece was having a difficult time sleeping because she kept overheating. She would pull the blanket off to cool down, then pull it back over herself because she still wanted something covering her. This went on throughout the night and eventually started affecting both her sleep and her partner’s sleep.

We told our friend that this was exactly why we invented the Sleeping Dove Comforter.

Even when we’re hot, most of us don’t really want to sleep without anything over us. We still want the comfort of a blanket while being able to cool down. For me, that feeling goes all the way back to being tucked in by my mother. Having a blanket over me tells my brain that my body is ready for rest. I don’t think I’m alone in that. 

James and I also prefer a natural approach to cooling. There’s a certain peace of mind that comes from not having wires, plugs, noise or settings in the bed. With Sleeping Dove, you simply open a panel where you feel hot. The trapped heat can escape while a light cotton layer keeps you covered.

Pregnancy and the first few months after having a baby can already make sleep feel unsettled. Your body is changing, your mind may be more active and you may not feel comfortable in the same ways you did before. For anyone who wants to stay covered and still cool down, lifting a panel does both at once.

Months after our friend gifted her niece the comforter, she contacted us to say how much her niece loved it and how helpful it had been during that time. We were so touched to hear that. Seeing Sleeping Dove help someone through such an important time in her life is one of the most meaningful parts of building this company.

As summer comes to an end, it’s a great time to bring home a Sleeping Dove Comforter at our discounted seasonal prices. We hope you’ll consider one for yourself or someone you love.

Warmly,

DJ & James
