Guaranteed Irish.

Made 100% in Dublin,Ireland. We are a women-led, Irish-owned Business. 

The sleepers are hand-made by our team in Dublin. Our raw materials are sourced in Europe. Our eco-friendly packaging is sustainable, recyclable, reusable and free from plastic. In our packages, we also include a Siest cloth laundry bag printed in Ireland.

SIEST Sleepers are a patented product design.

We are a Guaranteed Irish Brand.

They are weighted with Glass beads, wrapped in calico and double wrapped with a soft bouncy fiber.

We also use lenzing tencel, TENCEL™ fibers have been certified as biodegradable and compostable under industrial, home, soil, freshwater, and marine conditions, and can fully revert to nature. When you choose clothes or home textiles with TENCEL™ fibers, you are not just enjoying the benefits of a nature-derived fiber; you are influencing a better tomorrow too.

Proprioception and deep pressure therapy are what help you sleep. 

The sleepers are weighted, incredibly soft, and stay cooling and fresh to the touch. They weigh 1.5kg to 3kg. 

There are two sizes of weighted sleepers. Shorter and Longer.

We also offer a soft feel and a firm feel sleeper in both sizes. Children from 5+ prefer the Longer SOFT feel sleeper - they like to curl themselves around it. The science behind weighted sleepers is a combination of deep pressure therapy and proprioception (some call this the 6th sense).

Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) is firm but gentle squeezing, hugs, or holding that relaxes the nervous system. 

When you place the weighted product on your chest what's happening is deep pressure therapy. This is similar to the effect of a weighted blanket. This is useful to start the calming process. 

When it's on your chest, the weighted pillow, in fact, hugs you. You can calmly breathe and relax.  The extra feature and benefit of the Siest weighted sleeper is it also uses Proprioception. Linked to deep pressure but slightly different.

Proprioception is like a feedback loop from your sensory receptors in your body to your nervous system. The sleeper doesn't rely on only deep pressure alone.

Hugging a weighted sleeper awakens this extra, which some researchers call the 6th sense. It's incredibly powerful and gives you the feeling of relaxation and calm. In a nutshell, it's because it centres you straight away. It grounds you. 

Without you having to think about it. It's unconscious. That's why you feel calm.

When you feel grounded and centred your mind relaxes, and your mind can stop racing. Night time anxiety disorders and acute insomnia are reduced and you can find it easier to close your eyes and drift off.

Some people take up to a week to find the weighted sleeper useful. Other people can feel calm straight away. We are all different and sleep is complex. 

We can’t imagine how hard this must be. Our mission is to help more people sleep better. The best step for a chronic insomniac is to consult a sleep consultant. As you can imagine the Siest sleeper cannot resolve decades of chronic sleep issues. However, we have had positive reviews from chronic insomniacs to say it helps them look forward to their bed and their sleep a little more. And has sleep association improvements. Which starts them on a more positive sleep journey. Please do get in touch if you have specific queries hello@siestsleep.com
