Little Koko Lullaby Comforters offer comfort and relaxation for children, promoting peaceful sleep. Ethically handmade in Sri Lanka from organic materials with 100% recycled filling, they feature bespoke lullabies, brown noise, sound activation options and knotting hands.

Little Koko is dedicated to producing safe, high-quality products that are environmentally friendly and fair to their makers. The brand's comforters are crafted from organic and natural materials, promoting breathability, comfort and minimising microplastic exposure. Little Koko prioritises natural fibers, conducts rigorous material selection and engages directly with its supply chain to uphold ethical business practices. The brand utilises small-batch production to reduce waste and maintain heirloom quality, with its first production run completed in early 2021. Due to sourcing challenges during COVID-19, it opted for 100% recycled stuffing instead of its preferred corn fiber, with plans to return to this sustainable alternative in future batches. All products undergo independent third-party safety testing to meet Australian standards for young children. The Sri Lankan manufacturer employs fair labour practices and maintains various globally recognised ethical certifications, while also providing employee benefits like daily transportation and free lunches. The soundboxes are produced by a compliant manufacturer in China, ensuring safe working conditions and adherence to labour laws.
The product design emphasises sustainability through various strategies aimed at minimising environmental impact and waste. This includes using responsible materials, ethical production processes and small-batch manufacturing to avoid overproduction. The comforter manufacturer boasts a Higg Index Score of 71%, Global Recycled Standard certification and SMETA 4-Pillar certification, ensuring sustainability and ethical practices. Packaging is designed for reusability and responsible disposal, utilising zero-plastic materials such as Kraft gift boxes, acid-free tissue paper, certified compostable mailers and homemade recycled paper 'thank you' hearts infused with bee-friendly seeds. Shipping is conducted through a Climate Neutral Certified B Corp courier and waste is upcycled by reclaiming coconut shells from a family plantation in Sri Lanka, which are transformed into biodegradable Little Koko Bath-Time Coconut Shells designed for play and early childhood development.
Little Koko integrates social responsibility into its business model, focusing on community upliftment, cultural heritage preservation and environmental sustainability. It employs ethical manufacturing practices, verified by SMETA and BSCI certifications and engages in corporate social responsibility initiatives such as food donations and beach cleanups. The brand directly supports over 1,300 workers and collaborates with local Sri Lankan artisans to promote fair wages and preserve traditional crafts. The brand has launched social enterprise projects to empower women economically, producing cotton gift bags and planning a menstrual cloth pad initiative. Additionally, for each comforter sold, $1 is donated to Greening Australia for biodiversity restoration efforts.

Product Reviews by Experts


What I like most about the Little Koko Lullaby Comforter is how incredibly soft and soothing it is- not just for the baby, but for the parents’ peace of mind too. The lion design adds an adorable, comforting character that’s both playful and calming, making it a perfect sleep companion. Its gentle texture and cozy build create a sense of safety and familiarity that helps babies settle more easily, especially during nap or bedtime routines. I’m impressed by Little Koko’s commitment to using safe, non-toxic materials and ensuring ethical sourcing in their supply chain. It’s clear that the brand prioritises child welfare not just in the product’s design, but also in how it’s made- their emphasis on long-lasting, quality materials also supports sustainability by reducing the need for frequent replacements.


Little Koko have designed not only a very cute comforter in Lion, but a practical and functional soother for babies and children. My daughter loves her Lion and we take it with us in the pram, clip it to the bassinet and cuddle it around the house. Finally I can go to sleep to soothing sound rather than the classic white noise. I particularly love the piano lullaby and how this was produced and recorded locally. The materials are soft and 100% natural which makes me feel safe and comfortable to give to my little one, knowing it will be going in her mouth! It is also very easy to clean by simply removing the sound box and adding to the wash. The 3 sound options and volume adjustments gives Lion a variety of excitement and use. It is also light in weight making it easy for my little one to hold or to lay on her whilst settling her to sleep. I am beyond impressed! There has been so much thought go into this brand and beyond that I am in awe and inspired! I love the fact that they have visited their manufacturing site in Sri Lanka and that they are supporting a company who enables, engages and supports their workers and families. This company is clearly about more than just making a profit- it’s about families, education and the Earth!


The Little Koko Lion comforter is so very sweet. What I enjoy most about it is the Intelligent sound activation setting, triggered by waking noises and cries. I haven’t seen this before in a product and it has made a huge difference in settling and keeping my baby settled. The product is beautiful, made of beautiful materials but what I love most are the educational resources that have been created to help understand the neurobiology of attachment and bonding with baby, including wellbeing resources for parents. Well done and thank you!
