New British brand introduces Norwegian-inspired headbands designed to solve the age-old battle of keeping children’s ears warm during active play.
Bolton, UK. December 12th 2025 – Comfy Headbands, a new UK-based brand inspired by Scandinavian outdoor culture, officially launches today with a mission to help British parents keep their children comfortable and active outdoors, regardless of the weather.
Founded by parents who experienced firsthand the practical benefits of Norwegian outdoor gear, Comfy Headbands addresses a problem familiar to families across Britain: children who refuse to wear traditional woolly hats but still need protection from the cold.
“Every British parent knows the battle,” explains the founder. “It’s a chilly morning, your child is heading out to play, and the familiar argument begins: ‘I don’t want to wear my hat!’ When we lived in Norway, we discovered that Scandinavian children had solved this problem with headbands – and we wanted to bring that practical solution to British families.”
In Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, headbands are the go-to solution for active children. Unlike traditional hats, headbands protect the ears and forehead – the areas most sensitive to cold – whilst allowing heat to escape from the top of the head. This prevents overheating during vigorous play, meaning children stay comfortable and the headband stays on.
The approach aligns with the Norwegian philosophy: “Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær” (There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing). It’s about having the right gear that makes outdoor play comfortable and enjoyable.
Comfy Headbands are specifically designed for children who are constantly on the move – whether playing football, cycling to school, or enjoying playground adventures. The headbands:
- Stay securely in place during active play without slipping
- Fit perfectly under bike helmets and sports helmets
- Prevent overheating by allowing heat to escape
- Protect ears from cold wind whilst maintaining hearing and vision
- Are made from soft, breathable materials that children actually want to wear
Available in a range of colours including black, red, grey, orange, and blue, the headbands are designed to appeal to children’s preferences whilst meeting parents’ practical needs.
British weather presents unique challenges for parents. Unpredictable conditions combined with active children mean traditional winter headwear often ends up lost, discarded, or unworn. Comfy Headbands offers a practical alternative that works with children’s natural activity levels rather than against them.
“We’re not here to sell something you don’t need,” the founder adds. “We’re here to solve a real problem that affects thousands of British families every winter. If your child refuses to wear hats, if you’re tired of cold ears and lost headwear, we created Comfy Headbands for you.”
Comfy Headbands are now available to order online at comfyheadbands.com, with delivery throughout the UK.
