"What's with the black fabric?" It's one of the questions we get asked most, and the honest answer is that every part of it is doing a job! 🖤
SnoozeShade is made from a double layer of air-permeable EziBreez® mesh, and the dark colour is there for a reason. Dark blocks UV. A pale mesh would let it straight through, so the colour is part of the protection, not just a look.
It blocks up to 99% of UV (UPF 50+) and up to 94% of light. That's pretty strong sun protection! 😎
It's deliberately not pitch black, so a little light still filters in and they can wake naturally.
And no, dark doesn't mean hot. Before launch Cara, who invented SnoozeShade, spoke to one of the UK's leading thermal physicists, who confirmed that with an open mesh like this the colour makes very little difference to heat. Air moves freely straight through, so it can't build up the way it would under a solid cover.
There's no chemical treatment either. All of that protection comes from the mesh itself, not a coating or a spray, which is exactly how we want it near a baby.
