The Natures Nest was created 16 years ago and it is only in recent years that parents in the UK have realised what a wonderful baby bed it is, those that have used the Natures Nest simply cannot praise it enough. The Natures Nest is one of a kind, designed to create a womb like environment helping your baby to sleep, grow and develop, giving them the very best start in life. The natures Nest is fully portable and designed to be easily moved from room to room so that your baby can be with you wherever you may be.

In many cultures very young infants sleep next to their parents or at least in the same room. This gives the baby an added sense of security.

Natures Nest is quickly and easily assembled and disassembled, enabling to keep your unit with you, both in the home and on outings. The natures nest is light (approx 8 Kg) and is portable enough to pack away into the Amby Carry Bag and then into the boot of your car.

The Natures Nest will fit into the smallest of rooms and is a beautiful bed for baby's nursery. Being easily dissembled eliminates the need for a travel cot, but more importantly avoids disturbing your baby's sleep when travelling as you can take the Natures Nest bed with you.

A newborn baby will always search for their lost environment; it is simply too much to expect a newborn to sleep well within the hard flat open space of a cot or crib. The Natures Nest is tactile and makes baby feel snug safe and secure, only then will your baby sleep well.

The gentle bouncing and back and forth motions (as mother moved and walked) gives baby the movements which they felt within the womb. Creating a natural environment for your baby will promote a long and restful sleep, along with a happy contented baby.

Amby Natures Nest Baby Bed is unconditionally guaranteed against faulty workmanship or materials for a period of 12 months, provided the unit is assembled as per instructions and the washing instructions are followed. Note: slings (hammocks) damaged by negligence will not be replaced under this guarantee.

Engineered for Comfort and Safety

There are NO hard surfaces, NO restraining devices, NO electronic parts around your baby - just the natural perfect balance of extraordinary comfort and sensory stimulation.

Natures Nest allows free flow of air around the unit making it light and airy and fully breathable! (Cool in Summer, Snug in Winter)

At about 20 cms from the floor while your baby sleeps, you will be free from the nagging worry of your baby falling from the full height of a cot.

Your baby's weight will be distributed evenly with NO pressure points to worry him.

The unit comes with a fully quilted mattress and machine washable bed. The tough metal frame is scratch resistant and can be assembled in minutes.

Natures Nest meets all available safety standards and has been fully tested by independent safety laboratories, hospital trials and the thousands of happy parents who have used them for their babies.

Grateful Parents, Happy Doctors

No parents can forget the stressful experiences caused by the relentless crying of a distressed, colicky or reflux baby. These days doctors are reluctant to administer powerful drugs if there are other options.

Today, Natures Nest can be found in neonatal intensive care, nursery and burn units, safely relied upon by medical professionals in leading hospitals for even the most fragile babies.

It is also equally 'at home' in child care centres, hospitals and thousands of homes for 'well' babies

Safe, simple and affordable, Natures Nest gives your baby the best chance to start life blissfully contented, perfectly well adjusted and predisposed to healthy growth and development.

It is the most logical and natural transition from the womb to the outside world during that critical first year of life !

Specifications and Assembly:

Bolt & Lock Nut

The hammock is connected to the frame by a bolt and lock nut. To safely secure the bolt to the frame, the lock nut should be tightened with a wrench or spanner until the threaded part of the bolt shows through about 10 mm (1/2 inch). Once in place the lock nut should never be removed. If removed, the lock nut should be replaced with a brand new one.

Spring & Safety Strap

One end of both the spring and the safety strap should be attached to the bolt at the top of the frame
The other end of both the spring and safety strap should be attached to the 'knob' of the cross bar
The spring and the safety strap should hang side by side to each other
The hammock hangs on the cross bar.

Spring Load:

Hammock (nest)

The hammock (approximately 100 cm long), hangs on the cross bar. The cross bar serves to 'open' the hammock up

The sides of the hammock should be gathered in and pushed into the two little 'horns' at both ends of the cross bar and tied up into a bow (see No 6 in Assembly Instructions)

Hammock, sheets and mattress cover should be hand washed in mild detergent and drip dried. They can be machine washed, but hand washing will make them last longer.

Mattress dimensions - length 98 cm; width 30 cm; thickness 4cm

There should be no need to use anything else in the hammock with your baby apart from a light rug for warmth in cold weather

It's best not to 'over heat' your baby

The rug should wrap the baby around from under the arms leaving the arms free

For very small babies, use the Amby Wedge (Snuggler) to 'centre' your baby in the hammock.

Thank you so much for selling me this wonderful and frankly miraculous product. It is the best baby bed ever!!!

My baby daughter Roxy was three months old and literally hadn't had more than a couple of hours sleep at any one time since she was born. She was exhausted and we were exhausted. It was a nightmare.

At my wits end one night I came across your website and two days later the miracle arrived. Having assembled it that morning we put the cranky tired baby into it just to see whether she would like it or not and two minutes later she was fast asleep. It was incredible! This was a baby who never napped during the day unless being driven around the block and it didn't stop there. My husband and I hadn't had a night together since she was born. We were constantly having to walk about with Roxy until she fell asleep in our arms downstairs, waking up the instant we put her down. That night just as a trial we put her in the natures nest at seven thirty and lo and behold she fell asleep until her 6am feed!

She is now 7 months old and loves her hammock just as much. We have a beautiful and extremely well behaved baby now who sleeps all night and smiles and laughs all day long and I really think we owe it all to you.

I am an interior designer and my home is often photographed for magazines and I always have the natures nest proudly on display in the nursery. It is beautiful as well as practical. I have a very hectic schedule being a TV presenter of many makeover shows on UK TV Style and I was seriously wondering if I was able to continue my job whilst never sleeping!

Basically I can't praise this product enough. Every baby in the country should be sleeping in a natures nest!

All the best and good luck in the future.
