Our story

If I could bottle the feeling of being rested, I would.

Nobody can. So we make things that help your whole house get closer to it.

The founder

It started with the balancing act.

I'm Steve. Rested started in Sydney while I was juggling a demanding career and twin boys, in the season where sleep is the first thing to go. I knew the feeling I was missing: the clear, steady, ready-for-anything one you get after a genuinely good night. When you have it, everything is easier. When you don't, everything is harder.

The sleep industry is full of miracle promises, and running on four hours, I tried plenty of them. What actually helped wasn't a miracle. It was removing friction: a bedtime that ran itself for the boys, a wind-down that told my own body the day was over, proper dark. So that's what I build. It began with one device for our house, with stories we couldn't find anywhere else. Now it's a range for the whole house, with the skincare made here in Sydney.

Still founder-run. When you email us, the reply is usually me.

Why we exist

Life is better when you’re Rested:

what we believe

No claims of miracles. Just less reasons to not feel your best.

  • Honest claims only

    We explain how things work and never promise perfect sleep, because nothing can deliver that. A sleep cue takes a fortnight of repetition. We say so.

  • Nothing internet-connected in a child’s room

    Bluetooth only. No Wi-Fi, no cloud, no microphone, no subscriptions. Everything on the device is yours, permanently.

  • Easy to try, easy to return

    A 100-night trial and 1-year warranty on devices, family-safe ingredients in our skincare, and a real person on support.
