Established in 2017, the D2C start-up’s product portfolio includes mattresses, pillows, comforters, protectors, a DIY bed, and pet beds. The Mumbai-based premium D2C brand said it has quickly grown to serve over a lakh customers across India. It has also been expanding its portfolio of holistic sleep wellness products to include pillows, comforters among others.

Kiranbir Nag, Partner at Saama Capital said, “Self-care has been largely neglected over the years but the pandemic has made users more aware of self-wellness and has drawn greater focus to making informed choices. A good night’s sleep is an integral part of overall wellness. In the short time since it launched, SleepyCat has been able to create significant brand love amongst its users which reflects in the impressive performance metrics.”
