Dagsmejan, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, is a pioneering brand committed to revolutionizing the category of sleepwear and improving sleep quality globally. Grounded in scientific research and innovation, we are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of our customers by creating the most comfortable and scientifically-proven sleepwear.

Our dedication to excellence has been recognized by the Financial Times, ranking us among Europe's fastest-growing companies as #48 in overall and #1 in Switzerland.

While initially a pure-play D2C brand, we have started to broaden our channel mix in recent years, and today more than 100 partners in six markets are keeping stock of Dagsmejan products.
