The Dream Warmer™ is affordable, reusable, washable and sanitary, and can be used by anyone, anywhere. As a non-electric infant warmer, it supports skin-to-skin (STS), also known as Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC).

​Safety and durability are our top priority as we design products for use among vulnerable populations. With this in mind, the Dream Warmer has been developed to meet the highest standards and has successfully undergone significant testing both in the laboratory and field settings to ensure there is no risk of toxicity, irritation, or skin sensitization.

    • The mattress is composed of multiple Phase Change Material (PCM) “candles” designed to remain at skin temperature.

    • The PCM mattress slides into an insulating sleeve made of sturdy neoprene, which requires no attached fabric and can be easily cleaned and reused.

    • Once the PCM shifts from solid to liquid, the mattress maintains a temperature of 37°C until it cools back to solid.

    • The neoprene sleeve provides comfort and insulation, maximizing the duration of heat transfer.

  • The mattress is heated by placing it in a thermos and filling it with boiled water, making it easy to prepare even in remote settings. The mattress is then inserted into a neoprene sleeve, which provides comfort and insulation to maximize duration of heat transfer.
