Couffin, berceau, cododo et lit évolutif : lequel est fait pour vous?

Sleep for little ones

Newborns sleep an enormous amount, and this goes on for several months. At birth, a baby can sleep up to 18 hours a day! Their bed is where they will spend most of their time and gradually begin to discover the world before your amazed eyes. Every parent then wonders which sleeping solution will suit them best, based on their habits and daily routine. Not easy! What is important to highlight is that newborns transition from a confined environment (their mother's womb) to the big wide world, and this transition is inevitably unsettling. Newborns need to feel wrapped in a space that is comfortable, snug, and suited to their small size — one that best recalls the sensations they had when they were warm and cozy... So, between the Moses basket, the cradle, the co-sleeper and the convertible cot, you're wondering: what to choose? We're here to help!

The KUKO Moses basket... On the go!

The KUKO Moses basket has many advantages. The first is its elegance and design, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any interior. The second advantage, and by no means a minor one, is that our Moses basket is small and ultra lightweight. It can therefore be easily carried from room to room. You can even take it anywhere thanks to its small handles.
Third advantage: safety! The inside of the cover is breathable and therefore safe for little ones. Last but not least, the KUKO Moses basket is a space designed like a cocoon. Thanks to its narrow sides, it reminds baby of the confined world of their mother's womb. They feel enveloped and therefore soothed... KUKO is used from birth up to 4 months. After that, it can become a wonderful bed for dolls, soft toys and other small playthings!



It pairs with: a wooden stand to transform it into a cradle with an ergonomic design for a gentle rocking motion...

For whom? Newborns from 0 to approximately 4 months.

Benefits: Lightweight, easily transportable around the house and outdoors, very reassuring for baby thanks to its compact size.

The KUMI cradle.... Soothing!

Lightweight, mobile, stylish and open to the world, the KUMI cradle is one of our iconic pieces. Did you know? The word "cradle" comes from the act of rocking — a sleep-inducing technique that has been around for centuries. Rocking is said to recall the heartbeat that baby heard in their mother's womb. Our KUMI cradle was designed as a cozy nest with a gentle lateral rocking motion. The little original touch is that it doesn't feature bars like a classic cradle, but laces that parents choose from a wide range of colors. When you receive your package, we invite you to lace the cords yourself, as if you were crafting the nest for your little one. A deeply symbolic gesture — and a safe one too. This way, baby cannot get a leg or an arm caught. KUMI is open to the outside thanks to a transparent fabric, ideal for keeping an eye on them (and vice versa), and it is so lightweight that it can be carried into any room of the house.


For whom? Newborns from 0 to approximately 6 months.

Benefits: The gentle rocking motion and its cozy nest feel that relaxes baby and promotes falling asleep.

It pairs with: The canopy and bed drapes as well as a wheel kit available as an option.

The KODO co-sleeper... Closeness guaranteed!

The World Health Organization recommends the practice of co-sleeping during the first 6 months of a newborn's life. And for good reason — this age-old practice is packed with benefits!
Sleeping close to your baby meets their need for attachment: they can smell you, hear your breathing, and this naturally soothes them... For you, it's a win-win too, as you can respond to their needs quickly: ideal for breastfeeding as well as bottle feeding. The great thing about our KODO is that it's stylish and elegant (a rarity in this category!), it fits all parental beds and above all it is ultra-safe. Because yes, co-sleeping requires certain precautions to prevent the risk of falls or crushing. It requires a safety barrier on the parents' bed side of at least 15 cm. Of course, our beautiful KODO features this and meets all safety standards. Finally, when baby grows and moves into their own room, we've thought of everything: the KODO bed transforms into a cozy little bench for children.

For whom? Newborns from 0 to approximately 6 months.

Benefits: Makes nights easier, reassures your little one and grows with them — KODO transforms into a children's bench!

It pairs with: the fitted sheet and mattress protector for KODO and the cushions for the bench conversion.

The KIMI baby bed... Built to last!

The big brother of the KUMI cradle, the KIMI baby bed is also made from untreated beech wood. It takes over from 6 months and can be used up to around 5 years. To accompany your child for so long, the KIMI bed has the ability to transform.
First as a closed baby bed (then open) from 6 months to around 2 years. Designed like KIMI, it is a reassuring cocoon, open to the outside thanks to a transparent mesh fabric laced on the sides. It may seem like a small detail, but these laces add both a design touch and a real safety advantage compared to classic wooden bars, in which a child can get a limb stuck or use them as a foothold to climb over the side. To maximize the deep, restorative sleep every child deserves, the KIMI bed is fitted with a mattress and a mattress topper, making it ultra comfortable.
When your child is old enough to sleep without protection, simply remove one side of the bed — it evolves into a lovely open bed. To make this transition as safe as possible, we've thought of everything with a foam bed guard Bumper: no falling out during the night! Your KIMI stays with you until age 5 and even beyond, for moments of relaxation, reading stories, playing...

For whom? Little ones from 6 months up to approximately 5 years.

Benefits: Durable, adaptable, practical

It pairs with: the KIMI canopy and bed drape, and the fitted sheets.
