Our Story
Glow to Sleep is a boutique, Okanagan-based business that has been in operation for over 20 years. Glow to Sleep specializes in handmade glow-in-the-dark pillowcases for kids and the young at heart.
Cindy Lavallee is the founder, designer, and creator behind Glow to Sleep. Cindy grew up around her parents' drapery business and it is no surprise that sewing and creating have been a common thread throughout her life. Having spent her whole life around fabrics, Cindy has a keen eye for quality and design. She blends the best techniques with passion and creativity to offer a little light in the darkness so that all may feel safe and sleep soundly through the night.
Along with a passion for creativity, Cindy centres family and comfort in everything she does.
In fact, her business started as a much more personal venture: Cindy's son struggled deeply with sleep as a young child. But, Cindy had an idea! She knew he needed something fun, and that the transition to complete darkness was a bit too jarring for him. So, she created her first glow-in-the-dark pillowcase and it was a game changer!
After that, Cindy was called to help other families and all kids who struggle with sleep and Glow to Sleep was born.
Cindy starts with a vision and then collaborates with artists to digitize her designs. Once ready, these designs are sent for specialty glow-in-the-dark printing and the unique fabrics you see here are created. Cindy uses only top quality, 100% cotton ordered through a Montreal based company. Each pillowcase is carefully handmade, and the fabrics are meticulously selected to provide a durable pillowcase with the perfect amount of whimsy.
Kid-tested and adult-approved, Glow to Sleep has something for everyone. Whether you're having a family movie night, camping with friends, or enjoying an evening under the stars, Glow to Sleep can bring a touch of comfort and a lot more fun to the experience.
