From the right pillow to the perfect duvet, SHRNM works with European sleep labs to design comfort around the sleeper DESIGNED AROUND THE WAY YOU SLEEP E ach piece at SHRNM (sha-ra-nam) is crafted to respond to the sleeper, rather than asking the sleeper to adjust. The height and support of a pillow, the warmth and weight of a duvet, each is shaped to how the body actually comes to rest. Rest is not one-size-fits-all. It is deeply personal, shaped by posture, habit, and temperature. A pillow should meet those needs, not ask you to settle around it. This is why SHRNM works with European sleep labs in Denmark, designing each piece around alignment, support, and comfort in equal measure, with premium European down and natural fabrics, nothing added for effect. What remains is comfort that feels intuitive, night after night — the way rest should feel when nothing is asking you to adjust to it. About the founders Shivangi and Mehak Dewani on how SHRNM began: “It started with a pillow that was never right, always too high, or too low, never quite the way the body wanted to rest. We kept adjusting ourselves around it, the way most people do, without ever asking why the pillow could not adjust to us. So we went looking, to the sleep labs of Denmark, to the people who study how a body actually comes to rest, to premium down, natural fabrics, and a pillow built to answer the sleeper rather than the other way around. SHRNM, the Sanskrit word for sanctuary, is what we brought back.” Website: www.shrnm.in, Tel: +91 9990077829, Email ID: info@shrnm.in, Instagram: @shrnm.living Address: No. 4 Mehrauli Gurgaon road, Delhi 110030 and D-7 Defence Colony, Delhi 110024, Available at The House Of Things, Myntra, TATA CLiQ Luxury, Ajio Luxe FROM TOP SHRNM works with European sleep labs in Denmark, designing each product around alignment, support and comfort in equal measure; Founders of SHRNM, Shivangi and Mehak Dewani FACING PAGE Each product is crafted to respond to the sleeper, featuring materials like premium European down to natural fabrics, focused on comfort and rejuvenation
