The Australian First Bedding Brand Solving Common Sleep Dilemmas for Parents

An Australian-first business is quietly revolutionising the way couples and parents sleep, by normalising something Scandinavians have been doing for decades: sharing a bed but not a doona.

Meet Scandi SLEEP, the premium Australian bedding brand designed around the Scandinavian Sleep Method, where couples enjoy the closeness of sharing a bed while using their own individual covers. No tug of war. No overheating. No passive-aggressive blanket stealing at 2am.

Scandi SLEEP was founded by Sarah Gosling after she and her partner moved in together and quickly realised they were completely incompatible sleepers. Different temperatures, constant blanket battles and restless nights became the norm.

What started as a solution for couples soon revealed itself as something much bigger.

“Not long after launching, I started receiving messages from new mums who were using separate covers to feel safer and more relaxed when co-sleeping or sitting through night feeds,” Sarah explains.

“One customer told me she wanted to use individual blankets but only had queen and king sizes. She was anxious about excess fabric moving around her baby during the night.”

That insight became a turning point.

Scandi SLEEP’s single-size doonas offer a practical, parent-approved solution. Less bulk. Less movement. More peace of mind. For parents who co-sleep, this simple shift has helped many feel calmer and more confident during the night.

For families who don’t co-sleep, separate covers still make a huge difference. One parent can get up for feeds or settling without disturbing the other. No cold air rush. No stolen warmth. Just better sleep for everyone.

Soft, Breathable and Made for Australian Heat

Sleep in Australia is a different game. Warm nights, humid summers, hormonal temperature swings and kids who somehow generate their own heat make heavy bedding completely impractical.

This is where Scandi SLEEP really shines.

Made from premium bamboo cotton, the fabric is noticeably soft from the first night. It has that cool-to-the-touch feel that matters when temperatures climb, and it’s naturally breathable, helping regulate body temperature instead of trapping heat.

Parents consistently say this is one of the first things they notice. Less sweating. Less tossing. Less waking up feeling clammy. Just lighter, fresher sleep that actually suits Australian conditions.

For mums navigating postpartum night sweats, pregnancy heat surges or perimenopause, this isn’t a luxury. It’s essential. And for couples who sleep at completely different temperatures, individual bamboo covers mean no one has to compromise.

It’s the kind of comfort you don’t realise you’ve been missing until you finally sleep through the night.

Designed With Parents in Mind

The benefits don’t stop after the newborn phase. Toddlers have a habit of climbing into bed during the early hours, often sideways and without warning. Having individual covers reduces overheating and makes it easier for everyone to resettle without chaos.

“My mum always tells me that as a child I would crawl into her bed, then take myself back to my own bed because I was too hot under their covers,” Sarah laughs.

For many parents, that story feels very familiar.

Scandi SLEEP’s approach supports real family life, not an idealised version of sleep that rarely exists once kids arrive.

Premium Bedding That Still Looks Good

Scandi SLEEP offers a cohesive, premium bamboo cotton bedding range designed specifically for couples using individual covers. The collection includes sheet sets and quilt cover sets that look beautiful on the bed, even when using separate doonas.

The aesthetic is calm, neutral and intentionally designed so the bed still feels styled, not mismatched.

The brand recently went viral on TikTok, with couples around the world sharing how switching to separate covers transformed their sleep and why they’ll never go back.

“Hearing people’s stories has been incredibly validating,” Sarah says. “It confirms that this product is genuinely needed. Now it’s about getting the Scandinavian Sleep Method in front of more Australians.”

More Than a Trend, a Better Way to Sleep

As awareness grows, Scandi SLEEP has positioned itself as the leading Australian provider of bedding designed specifically for couples embracing separate covers.

The method is resonating across every stage of life, from new parents and co-sleeping families to couples managing temperature differences, and women navigating hormonal changes and night sweats.

With plans to expand into new sizes, materials and product variations, Scandi SLEEP is committed to keeping sleep health at the centre of everything they create.

“The future is really exciting,” Sarah says. “We have a long pipeline of ideas, and we’re focused on designing products that genuinely improve how families sleep.”

Because when parents sleep better, everything else feels easier too.
