For new parents, the quest for a peaceful night's sleep or some ‘me’ time can feel like an uphill battle. Truly innovative products are few and far between, but in Moonboon, we have found one. Aside from being a beautifully designed product, Moonboon’s focus on safety and comfort ensures your baby gets the restful sleep they need to thrive.
Although a mainstay in houses across Scandinavia, Moonboon is a relatively unknown product in the UK. In this article, we’ll take a look at how Moonboon works and what makes it so special, as well as answering any questions you may have.
The two Moonboon options: The Hammock vs The Cradle
Although both the hammock and the cradle both use the same motor and tripod mechanisms to gently bounce your baby up and down, they do serve slightly different purposes.
The Hammock
The Moonboon Hammock has been designed to replicate the comforting and safe environment of the womb, helping them feel as though they are safe, comforted and being cradled whilst falling asleep.
Crafted by Danish sleep experts, the baby hammock is a haven of tranquility. Made from the softest GOTS-certified cotton and kapok, with a walnut-wood cross pin, it meets the highest European safety standards. The hammock’s gentle sway and ergonomic design create a peaceful environment that also reduces noise and light, helping your baby sleep soundly and for longer.
The Cradle
The cradle features the same soothing rocking motion as the Hammock. However, its flat, firm base provides a traditional sleeping surface that’s perfect for parents who prefer a more classic approach. The large, flat space is comfortable, giving your little one room to move, wiggle, and settle down into a relaxing sleep.
The choice between a hammock or a cradle often depends on personal preference and your baby's comfort level. Some babies may find the gentle swaying motion of the hammock particularly calming, while others may prefer the stability of the cradle.
Motor Vs Motor connect
For those renting a Moonboon on Baboodle, we offer two motor options. The standard Moonboon motor, or the Motor connect. The Motor Connect offers additional features alongside the regular features of the original motor, such as being virtually silent and having adjustable timer and speed settings.

Remote control via smartphone
The Moonboon Motor Connect allows you to turn on and adjust your Moonboon hammock or cradle's settings with just a few taps on your smartphone. This includes controlling the rocking speed and duration to find what perfectly soothes your little one.
Expert-designed sleep programs
The app features a variety of sleep programs developed by sleep experts to suit your baby's needs. Whether it's a short nap or a deep night's sleep, there's a program to help your baby drift off to dreamland peacefully.
The Materials
Moonboon prioritises the use of high-quality, natural, and organic materials in its products. Organic cotton, kapok, voile, natural latex, coconut fibers, and buckwheat hulls are all sustainable choices that offer various benefits.
These materials are not only durable and soft but also hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and dust mite resistant. Additionally, using organic and natural materials helps protect the environment and reduce waste. Moonboon's dedication to sustainable practices ensures that their products are both comfortable and eco-friendly.
