What is the CuddleBlanket?
The CuddleBlanket provides grieving families an opportunity to spend time with their loved ones without needing to cool the whole room.
Used by hospitals, hospices and funeral directors worldwide, the CuddleBlanket can cool a deceased infant, child, adult or bariatric individual on any bed, trolley or in a coffin, thereby preserving their appearance, condition and dignity.
The small cooling unit gently circulates fluid through a cooling pad, which is placed on top of the body. An insulated blanket is then laid over the pad.
Bringing Familiarity to a Difficult Time
Designed for use with existing bedding,the blanket can be placed inside a person’s own bedding or duvet, allowing for a more personalised and familiar experience. This can be especially comforting for families.

Innovative Cooling Without Refrigeration
The CuddleBlanket uses a thermoelectric cooling process, also known as the Peltier effect, rather than standard refrigeration. This makes the device portable and suitable for use in a setting of the family's choosing.
Unlike refrigerated beds or coffin coolers, the CuddleBlanket is extremely lightweight, flexible, and does not ice up. It is only switched on when needed, making it a more cost-effective alternative to traditional cooling methods.

Bringing Thea home was so important to us.
No family should experience what we did
Is there any guidance on temperature and how long babies can be kept after loss, does the guidance change with baby weight?
