The Story of the Sleeping Dove Comforter

Man and woman sitting on a gray couch with a white sleeping dove bag featuring on a wooden floor.

Like many couples, DJ and James loved falling asleep under one comforter. But during perimenopause, DJ often woke up overheated: pushing it off, pulling it back on, too hot, too cold, all night long. Her sleep suffered, and she wanted a natural way to manage overheating. One morning, she said, “What if a comforter had windows?” James looked up from his coffee and that moment changed everything.

Months of trial and error followed, and dozens of prototypes later, that idea became the Softwing Cooling System — natural, adjustable panels built right into the comforter. No gadgets. No wires. No performance fabrics. They tested it with hot sleepers, couples, even pet owners. The reaction was always the same: “This works.”

Today, we share it with you — born from a personal struggle, crafted with care, and made to bring deeper rest and closeness. Sleeping Dove is a veteran-owned small business founded on the belief that comfort should be natural, intentional, and lasting.

Our Two Standards

Traditional Materials

We wanted to make a comforter with only traditional materials. No uneccesary hi-tech stuff in our bedding. We believe sleep should be natural, calm, and beautiful.

No Cutting Corners

Create the absolute best comforter, regardless of cost, using top-notch construction techniques and the finest eco-friendly materials. Check out our Craftsmanship page for more details. 

We’re a small business, and we sincerely thank you for considering the Sleeping Dove Comforter. We hope it brings warmth and a deep restful sleep to your happy home.
