huddle & bliss is a true family business. We are inspired by our special people - with your special people in mind! The business was launched in February 2008 and has very quickly established itself across the UK as a favourite premium brand amongst new parents and parents to be.
The company was founded and is managed by Sherry Prosser. The business was closely supported by Sherry's husband, the late David Prosser, who played a key role in the senior management of huddle & bliss in addition to running his own business as an Investment Banking Consultant. His business knowledge and wealth of financial experience has contributed extensively to the steady success of the business. David sadly passed away in October 2009 after a long battle with cancer. His extensive contribution will live on years to come.
Several family members and close friends work for the business and they have each made a unique and individual contribution to the launch and growth of the company. Their willingness to volunteer their time and effort is greatly appreciated.
huddle and bliss are passionate about UK manufacturing. Our entire classic cotton baby range is made here in England, along with our pure and natural skin and baby bath products.
Our iconic huddle & bliss 48 Hour Mama & Baby Bag is the latest must-have for discerning mums-to-be and was used by Channel Five News Presenter Natasha Kaplinsky during the birth of her baby boy. She uses the bag to this day when travelling with Baby Arlo. No doubt the bag will come in very useful for baby no.2 that Natasha is expecting later this year!
Our most popular item is the h&b labour & birthing shirt which is exclusive to huddle & bliss and is unique in the maternity marketplace as an item specifically designed for the purpose. This product was also used by Natasha Kaplinsky. The design is the result of our team’s own birth experiences - 15 babies no less!
In fact many of our ideas have come directly from our own pregnancy or maternity experiences. We have developed products that we wanted, needed and felt were absent from the market in terms of design or quality. But now they are available to you.

"I am passionate about babies, family life and this country. I wanted a business that embodied all of these things.
It is somewhat of a myth that this country has no manufacturing industry. We are in fact the sixth largest manufacturing nation in the world, behind Italy - but in front of France. We are a leading producer of chemicals, green technologies, electrical and optical equipment in addition to be home to two of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. Outside of the US we have the largest aerospace industry in the world. However all of these firms are hi-tech industries and it is the market of global branded consumer goods where have little if any presence. That is why today's consumer has the view that we do not make anything! However, this country still has a wealth of talented craftsmen making quality goods, particularly in high-end niche markets.
I have taken upon the mantle of like-minded people and set out to discover these businesses and do my best to incorporate them into the huddle & bliss brand. I am delighted when we discover something new that fits into our brand and within our ethos. In additional to our Classic Cotton Range we have introducted organic cotton products and natural skin care products into our collection - all of which are manufactured here - we are one of the very few businesses who have been able to achieve this.
We live in such a hectic world and if you are anything like me, forever on the go, then you love to shop online, you view it as a godsend. I love the leisurely aspect of it, the fact that I can do it anytime and the wide choice that is available. But I still want personal and attentive service from the shops that I buy from. You will get this from huddle & bliss.
Good customer service is sadly so lacking in many of today's businesses. Whilst I am a fan of technology, I think a friendly voice with name at the end of a telephone is so important. Many E-commerce businesses operate in a purely faceless online manner and that is certainly not for us. huddle and bliss is a friendly hardworking team of mums who strive to provide not only exemplary customer service but also to share advice, experience and give guidance when requested. It is daunting being pregnant and a mum for the first time, and every member of our team has been there!
As an employer, I believe that mums are incredibly undervalued in the workplace. Most mothers have a breadth of experience that cannot be obtained in any other single role in life. It has been proven time and time again that they work harder and are more dedicated than many of their peers. Yes, having children does often bring a conflict of interests in terms of the work life balance, being a wife and mother of two young boys myself I fully understand this. However, I think with a little bit of give and take on both sides, working mums make an indispensable contribution to any business. I hope more employers follow suit.
I hope I have given you an insight into the ethos of huddle & bliss and what we are striving to achieve with our beautiful brand."
huddle & bliss, The First Choice of Discerning Parents. Our aim is to create a stylish online boutique offering beautifully-made and traditional goods, the majority of which are Made in England and hand-finished in our own workshop. Our premium products are simple, elegant and understated and arrive beautifully wrapped in our signature packaging. All our efforts ensure you will be delighted with your purchase.
We are a small close knit team at huddle & bliss. A mixture of family and friends. We each have our specific roles but we always muck in and help each other out, so you could get anyone of us on the phone. We think it is important that each of us, including the management team, understand all areas of the day to day aspects of the business. This keeps us focused on the needs of our customers and how best we can meet those needs. Despite being an E-commerce business, personal and friendly service and attention is at the forefront of our customer service aim. In an age of technology and automation, we believe that should you need it, the voice of a real person at the end of the telephone is always appreciated.
The h&b team.

I'm an Impulsive, multi-tasking mum who is a complete workaholic with no off switch. My favorite book is ‘A Town Like Alice’. And I love the huddle & bliss The birthing tee - I would have given my right arm for one during my pregnancy, labour and afterwards! Comfy, practical and discreet, who'd of thought you can look good heavily pregnant in nightwear!

I am proud of my wife and children, always able to see the funny side and love a challenge! My favorite film is Sand Pebbles. The best huddle & bliss product is the 48 hour bag, the ultimate bag for the ultimate experience – I wish it had been available when my children were born.
David sadly passed away in October 2009 following a long battle with oesophageal cancer. He is greatly missed by his wife, children, family and friends. His contribution to the launch of huddle & bliss will never be forgotten.

I love simplicity and hate clutter.Some think I am a perfectionist!I like a good chick flick, an impromptu bottle of red with friends. I must like Take That as I saw them three times this summer!My favourite huddle and bliss product would just have to be the natural skincare. You cannot beat the purity and properties of nature's own essential oils.

I have very bad OCD……Ask anyone in the office, I drive them mad! My favorite film is "my big fat Greek wedding"……I loved Aidan (John Corbett) in sex and the city and nothing has changed! I love the huddle and bliss Sleep suits, because I love the little newborn size, the cloud logo is so cute; they never fail to make me broody.

I'm hard working, cheeky, and loyal. My favourite Song is "We are family"....by Sister Sledge.....I know it seems like a bit of a strange one, but if you saw my children dancing to it, i'm sure it would be your favourite to. My Fav huddle & bliss product is the anything made of the organic cotton, it's so soft. I gave the Organic feeding wrap to my best friend after she gave birth to her little boy last year and she does'nt leave home without it......yes, she does love it that I work at huddle & bliss.
