We knew that delivering audio in the most comfortable way was the key to a great night's sleep. Audio has a profound impact on sleep; not only helping busy minds to switch off, but also masking external disturbances to extend your slumber. We set out to help people drift off quicker and stay asleep longer
Welcome to KokoonAbout Us
We spend a third of our lives sleeping, or at least we should and we know first hand how frustrating not being able to get a good night’s sleep is. That’s why our team of sleep obsessed Kokooners wanted to create products that really help, that aren’t fads or pills, but long lasting, reliable sleep solutions powered by audio
Our Mission: Improve sleep for everyone
The Evolution of the Headphones
From over ear headphones to in ear buds, our design evolution has always been focused on enhancing sleep
Kokoon Relax Headphones
Our original over ear headphones were designed in the early era of Bluetooth and active noise cancellation. We needed the larger headphone design to house the electronics and have a decent battery life. Loved by many, particularly those that travelled frequently.
Kokoon Nightbuds
Then came the nightbuds. For a stable, comfortable design, electronics were relocated from the sensitive in-ear region to a less sensitive region behind the head, typically not felt in bed. This enables a very thin, soft profile in the ear and through night battery capacity.
Philips Sleep Headphones
Philips approached us to collaborate on the latest model. Using their manufacturing capabilities and audio advancements we built the new and improved PSH. With slimmer earbuds, enhanced materials for comfort and even better audio quality.

Our team of scientists and engineers have spent over 11 years researching and developing sleep headphones and specialist adaptive sleep audio delivered through the Kokoon app
Early Headphone Concept
Kickstarter 2015
Early NB Concept 2019
Early concept of what an in-ear sleep headphone designed for side sleeping may look
3D Statistical Analysis
A very early app Concept 2015
Core elements of sleep tracking and Kokoon soundscape are already there
Mid 2016 Prototype
A now obsolete 'Kokoon' button used to have a very elaborate animation. Core Kokoon audio and library elements have already appeared
First Production Version of App 2018
Much more effort had gone into the library, Kokoon audio content and sleep staging algorithms. The data view and algorithms made use of novel sensors in the relax headphones
Our Founders
Tim
(CEO)
"I was in a busy, stressful job in the city and coupled with a busy mind I developed insomnia. After visiting a sleep clinic, which was a gamechanger, I left wanting to make sleep solutions more accessible to all."
Rich
(CTO)
"When I was growing up my family used audio, via a bedside speaker, to help them with their sleep. Kokoon offered an opportunity to see how effective we could make a sleep audio experience to help everyone get the rest they need!"
