The Dream Warmer™
How It Works

The Dream Warmer is a non-electric, reusable warming pad designed to help stabilize the temperature of vulnerable newborns. It uses a safe, medical-grade substance called Phase Change Material (PCM) — the same technology used in vaccine transport and medical cold-chain systems.

The PCM melts when heated in boiling water, storing warmth at exactly 37°C — the same temperature as human skin. Once removed from heat, the liquid PCM gradually releases warmth as it re-solidifies, keeping the baby warm for up to 6 hours.

A built-in temperature indicator makes it easy to see when the warmer is safe to use, and the pad fits into a soft, reusable neoprene sleeve. The Dream Warmer doesn’t require electricity, cords, or batteries — making it an ideal solution for low-resource communities around the world.

In the Kit

Each Dream Warmer kit includes:

  • One warming pad with built-in temperature indicator

  • One neoprene sleeve for insulation and comfort

  • One thermos with lid for safely heating the pad

  • One compact backpack for easy transport and storage

Visual instructions printed directly on the neoprene sleeve offer on-the-spot guidance to caregivers in any setting, no matter their literacy level.
