OUR BACKGROUND
Built by the team behind zPods
Over the last 6 years, the zPods team has helped 1,000+ families high-need environments sleep better by enhancing safety, comfort, and overall well-being.
Since then, parents kept telling us they are scared of their children wandering around at night and therefore check on them three times per night.
We started OZI to let parents know when their children leave bed before it becomes a problem, and know they’re safe without walking in.
OZI Sleep is a brand of zPods.
The Origin
It started with a simple but powerful realization: for many parents, bedtime is not the end of the day, it’s the beginning of uncertainty. Once the bedroom door closes, the questions begin. Are they still in bed? Are they actually asleep? Will tomorrow be a calm, focused day or a difficult one?
The existing solutions didn’t feel made for real family life. Wearables need charging, get taken off, and often don’t work well for kids. Cameras can feel invasive in the bedroom. And constant room checks only create more anxiety for parents and more disruption for children.
We believed parents needed something better. Not another device to manage, but a quiet way to stay informed. That’s why we built OZI: a contact-free, non-wearable safety sleep tracker that lives under the bedsheet or mattress topper, completely out of sight, helping parents know what’s happening at night and better handle the next day.
