Travelling with a toddler can be an adventure in itself, but one of the biggest challenges parents face is ensuring their little one gets a good night’s sleep away from home. Whether you’re staying in a hotel, an Airbnb, or visiting family, an unfamiliar sleep environment can make bedtime difficult, and the days rather unpleasant!
For the first 3 years of our son's life, we travelled the world with a travel cot in tow. We loved combining our travel cot with the SlumberPod Privacy Pod. But what happens when your baby outgrows a travel cot, and you still want a safe, comfortable, contained sleep environment for them?
For us, that’s where the combination of the SlumberTot Inflatable Mattress and the SlumberPod Privacy Pod came in—creating the ultimate toddler travel bed setup for peaceful, private, stress-free sleep.
Recently, we shared a reel on Instagram demonstrating how easy it was to set up these products on a recent trip to Singapore, and it resonated with parents everywhere—garnering an incredible 9.3 million views! This overwhelming response highlights just how valuable this toddler travel bed solution is for families on the go.
SlumberTot Inflatable Mattress: Comfort & Convenience On the Go
The SlumberTot Inflatable Mattress is a game-changer for parents who want a portable yet comfortable sleeping solution for their toddler. Designed with durability and comfort in mind, this inflatable mattress provides a cozy and secure sleeping space wherever you go.
Key Features:

Toddler-Sized Design – Perfectly sized for young children (ages 2-6 years), ensuring they feel snug and secure.
-
Soft Flocked Surface – The velvety top layer adds extra comfort. We pop a single size fitted sheet over ours for added coziness.

Built-in Bumper Sides – Raised edges prevent little ones from rolling off during sleep.
-
Compact & Lightweight – Packs down small for easy travel and storage. We can even fit both products in our Anywhere Backpack.
-
Quick Inflation & Deflation – Comes with an efficient air pump for a hassle-free setup, but we use our Flextail Tiny Pump to save space.
This mattress has been ideal for use in hotels, holiday rentals, or even when visiting family and friends, giving our toddler a dedicated sleep space wherever we go.
SlumberPod Privacy Pod: A Portable Blackout Tent for Better Sleep
Pairing the SlumberTot Inflatable Mattress with the SlumberPod Privacy Pod takes our toddler’s sleep experience to the next level. The SlumberPod is a portable blackout canopy designed to create a dark, private sleeping space—perfect for overcoming jet lag, time zone changes, or simply maintaining a consistent sleep routine while we're travelling.
Key Features:
-
Full Blackout Design – Blocks out light completely, promoting deep and uninterrupted sleep. It even cuts out some of the surrounding noise. No more creeping around your hotel room once your little one goes to sleep!
-
Ventilation Panels & Fan Pocket – Ensures proper airflow and cooling for a comfortable sleep environment.
-
Lightweight & Travel-Friendly – Packs compactly into a carry bag, making it easy to bring anywhere.
-
Quick & Easy Setup – Pops up in minutes, providing an instant private sleeping space.
The SlumberPod is a game-changer for families like us, who frequently travel or share rooms with their toddler. It helps eliminate distractions, making it easier for little ones to settle down and sleep soundly.
Why This Toddler Travel Bed Setup is a Must-Have
-
Creates a Familiar & Cozy Sleep Environment – The combination of the SlumberTot Inflatable Mattress and SlumberPod gives your child a dedicated sleep space that feels familiar, reducing bedtime resistance in new environments.
-
Encourages Better Sleep for Everyone – With a dark, private sleeping area, your toddler is less likely to wake up due to noise, light, or distractions—meaning parents get better sleep too!
-
Perfect for Hotels & Shared Spaces – Many hotels lack blackout curtains, and shared spaces can be noisy and bright. The SlumberPod ensures a consistent sleep environment wherever you are.
-
Compact & Travel-Friendly – Both products pack down small and are easy to transport, making them ideal for road trips, flights, and any family travel adventure.
- Helps with Maintaining Sleep Routine – Consistency is key for toddlers, and having a dedicated, familiar sleep setup can help maintain bedtime routines even while away from home.
