Building Blissed, How a sleep-deprived idea became a new kind of calm

We didn’t set out to build another device. We set out to help people — especially women — actually rest.

Because here’s the truth: most of us know sleep is important. But knowing isn’t the same as feeling calm.

We created Blissed to be the antidote to overstimulation: a soft, smart calming plush that speaks to your nervous system — not your inbox, data log, or screen.

Our Mission:

To help women reclaim sleep — not as a productivity hack, but as a human right.
To make rest feel intuitive again, not earned.
To make calm the default, not the reward.

“I built Blissed because I was tired of needing to ‘optimize’ my sleep. I wanted to feel safe, held, and calm. I wanted my body to remember how to rest.”
— Eva Prikler, Founder of Calming Solutions
