Better Sleep with Buttons? It’s true:) Did you know kicked-off sheets are a proven sleep disruptor, often going undetected? Even for adults, when we lose our coverings, we naturally awake to readjust. Unfortunately, once a child awakes from untucked bedding, they can’t recover. So, what do our kiddos instinctually do? Wake us for comfort. How do I know? It happened to me.
What Happened?
Yep. Just like many parents, I was desperate for a good night’s rest. My son was 3, and my baby girl was born. So, for better sleep, we bought Max an exciting candy apple red racecar bed. And, oh boy, was he excited! I was thrilled he loved his new big boy bed. I mean, if he loved his bed, that meant he would sleep through the night happily, right? Wrong! Without fail, after transitioning to his big boy bed, he woke night after night for months. We were both severely sleep-deprived. And, being desperate for a solution, I began searching for clues to stop this annoying, unhealthy nighttime disruption.
Help!
I talked to our pediatrician, friends, parents, husband, and basically, anyone who would listen. But, it seemed there were no answers. Most said it was just a phase, and it would pass. I thought to myself, ” It may pass, but I need a sound night’s rest tonight…and so does Max!” As I thoughtfully evaluated possible disruptive elements, I was baffled. I mean, we were getting plenty of outdoor activity. We had the soothing sound machine playing; the temperature was perfect, his mattress and pillow were comfortable. So why was he waking? The search was on, and I was determined to find answers!
Eureka!
There it was, the inconspicuous culprit staring me straight in the face. It was so obvious and expected; I never thought it could be the problem. His messy, untucked bed, that was it! Finally, at that moment, it was clear as day. I quietly thought, “I think he’s losing his coverings, and that’s what’s waking him.” Eureka! Now, this answer made sense. So, that night, I decided to loosely fasten his sheets and blankets together to see if my hypothesis was correct. And, thank goodness! I solved the mystery. That night, and the many nights after, with his bedding comfortably fastened, he slept through the night.
The Button
Thrilled to have found a solution for my family’s broken rest, I wanted to share the good news with all parents. It was such a simple solution; anyone could benefit from this concept. So, I began developing a product for the market. And you better believe, my analytical mind thought of all possible ways to fasten sheets together comfortably. But in the end, I landed on a few big buttons. Why? Well, with buttons, it’s easy to add or detach bedding layers to fit a person’s individual needs. Yep. all you need are compatible buttonholes on the top layers. And presto! It’s the perfect, soothing bed space children need for better sleep. And believe me, staying covered truly makes a difference:)
How it Works
To give you a better idea of how our buttons work, here are a few highlights:
1. Fitted Sheet Button stretch with elastic
Sensibly distributed on both the left and right parallel sides of the fitted sheet, we affix three oversized buttons with elastic.
2. Buttons Stretch and Flow with your child’s movement
Mating our elastically attached fitted sheet buttons with our neatly tailored top sheet buttonholes, linens naturally ebb and flow with your child’s sleep movement.
3. Buttons create a natural airflow to prevent overheating
With pairs of big buttons evenly distributed on the fitted sheet’s parallel sides, attaching our neatly tailored flat sheet creates a light and soothing airflow. So, instead of kicking the sheets off for air, children move for fresh air.
At Tucked+Covered, our mission is better sleep for the whole family. And with buttons, we’re joyfully nurturing kids with better sleep, one bed at a time. So, if your child is waking at night, or you would like to awaken to a neat bed every morning, we’re here for you. Give us a try for 30 days or night and see firsthand how buttons help families get the rest they need to feel healthy.
Better Sleep. Better You.
