About Us

BETTER EVENINGS. BETTER SLEEP. BETTER MORNINGS. IN THAT ORDER.

Pillows, bedding, candles, journals, soundscapes and stories. All of it aimed at the two ends of the day that most people leave entirely to chance.

Why this exists, from the person who started it

Eddie started Martian Made in 2017. This is him explaining why, in 4 minutes,

Short version: he was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea, got annoyed enough to want to do everything he can to make sleep better regardless. Everything else followed on from that.

WHY

Everything is better after a good night's sleep. You think more clearly. You train harder. You make better decisions and you are considerably kinder to the people around you. None of this is controversial. Most people would agree with it without thinking twice about it.

And then most people spend almost no time doing anything about it.

They sleep on a pillow that stopped holding its shape two years ago, under a duvet that has clumped at one end, on sheets that feel scratchy but not quite scratchy enough to replace. They have never tried a different fill. Never tested a firmer pillow against a softer one. Never changed the temperature of the room, or the light, or the noise. A surprising number of people have never once tried turning the bed to face a different wall.

Sleep is an equation. Every small variable feeds into it: what is under your head, what is over you, what the room smells like, what you can hear, what you were thinking about ten minutes before you closed your eyes. Change enough of the small things and the whole night changes.

That is what we are here to do. We make the physical parts of that equation, and we share what we learn about the rest of it: the guides, the soundscapes, the sleep stories. Some of it we sell. A fair amount of it we give away.

THE NAME

Martian Made did not start as a bedding company. It started as a company for making everyday objects better, and rather more fun than they had any need to be. Bedding was simply the category we went at hardest, and it took over. Sleep followed from there.

The name came from Eddie's university days, writing badly researched pseudoscience posts with friends for an audience of roughly nobody, under a name that sounded scientific enough to get away with it. Years later it was still sitting there unused, and it fitted: broad enough to carry any category we might wander into, tied to none of them, and fun.

That last part matters more than it sounds. Look at the rest of this industry. Boring names, boring photography, boring copy, all of it seemingly agreed on years ago and never questioned since. Nowhere is it written that caring about fill weight and fibre length means being dull about it.

We take sleep seriously. Ourselves, less so.

We have barely started.

The list of things we want to make is a great deal longer than the list of things we have made, and every one of them exists to take one more variable out of the way of a good night. Some of those we have solved. Most of them we have not.

You do not have to buy anything to begin. Change one thing tonight. Change another next week. That is honestly how it works.

We will keep making the parts.
