Comfort on the road: a jacket for napping on the go.


Designer Loris Dadda has unveiled his latest creation—the Napow jacket, designed to provide a comfortable napping experience while traveling. The primary goal of this project is to shield the user from external light and offer adequate support for the head and neck, creating the ideal environment for sleep on the go.

A Jacket to Combat Sleep Deprivation

As noted by the designer in an interview with Designboom, in a society that operates around the clock, sleep has transformed from a basic necessity into a scarce luxury. This shift resonates with Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, contributing to a host of issues such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression.

The consequences of poor sleep are profound, negatively impacting both mental and physical well-being. This growing fatigue often drives people to seek daytime naps, which can occur in various scenarios, such as during commutes or even in airport terminals. However, these temporary resting spots frequently lead to stiffness and discomfort upon waking.

A Jacket for Comfortable Napping on the Move

The Napow jacket (NAP On the Way) is an innovative sleeveless garment meticulously designed for napping while in motion. Its main purpose is to isolate the user from external light and create an optimal sleeping environment where none exists.
The jacket features an integrated safety strap, carefully calibrated to secure the head and neck with controlled tension, preventing awkward sleeping positions. The collar is enhanced with a double-layer polyurethane padding, increasing comfort levels.

This innovative jacket is designed to facilitate napping in seated positions in places like airport lounges, subway seats, and office chairs. It is made from synthetic fibers, polyurethane, and eco-leather materials. The Napow jacket ensures a comfortable nap during transport, allowing users to escape the constant noise of the modern world.
