This week, on the Kids Sleep Show I welcome the Founder of Truuce bedding, to share all about this amazing and innovative Duvet bedding system, that my son, 10 and father, 75 both love equally for the simplicity in creating a clean and polished look in the bedroom, without the fuss.

Nancy Johnston and Kerry Roberts are the visionary founders of Truuce, a company that combines design, research, and innovation to revolutionize bedding.

In 2023, Kerry, tired of with wrestling with her duvet cover, called her dear friend and college roommate Nancy to create a more user-friendly design. As Nancy worked on a solution, she realized traditional sheets had their own set of problems. This sparked a flurry of prototypes aimed at making every aspect of bedding smarter. After several months of testing, redesigning and testing again, the integrated duvet and sheet system was ready for launch. They decided to call it Truuce, with a mission to help everyone make peace with their bedding.

Today, while functionality, architecture and design are at the heart of everything we do, we are equally cozy obsessed. This patent-pending design has reshaped duvets and sheets and has brought bedding into the 21st century.

Episode Highlights

• What inspired the idea behind Truuce, and how did your own sleep experiences or family life play a role in bringing it to life?
• Truuce bedding rethinks how we make a bed - can you walk us through the design and why it matters for busy parents or children learning independence?
• How does simplifying bedtime routines through smart design influence sleep quality for families, especially in those high-stress evening hours?
  If a parent is looking to create a sleep-friendly bedroom but doesn't know where to start, what small changes would you suggest - Truuce or otherwise?
