HoodiePillow | Inflatable Sleeping Hoodie

After bringing their triplet daughters home from the hospital, HoodiePillow® founder Chris Hindley and his wife Dana were desperate for uninterrupted sleep. Late night feedings kept them up for all hours of the night so they had to catch shut-eye whenever they had the chance. Hindley created the first HoodiePillow® pillowcase as a gift for his wife so she could catch a nap during the day while their girls slept. After friends and family members immediately began asking for their own HoodiePillows after seeing his invention, Hindley quickly realised that his invention was needed by so many more people than just sleep deprived parents - light sleepers, night shift workers, college students, children and adults with autism who like to feel ‘cocooned’, hospital patients, travelling sports teams... and the list goes on. Hindley was granted a patent for his invention in 2012 and in June of that year, HoodiePillow® launched. In September of 2012, Hindley and HoodiePillow® co-founder Rebecca Rescate were selected from over 30,000 applicants to fly to Los Angeles to appear in an episode of ABC's wildly popular reality series Shark Tank.
