About Cloud B Twilight Turtle & Sleep Sound Machines for Kids
Cloud B has been helping babies and toddlers sleep better since 2002. Founded with a single mission — helping children sleep — the brand has spent more than two decades refining products that pair ultra-soft plush designs with sleep science.
What sets a Cloud B sleep soother apart from a generic nightlight or white noise machine is the combination. It doesn't just project light or play sound: it gives your child a comforting companion to hold, a calming light environment to drift off to, and a consistent bedtime cue that helps their brain wind down night after night.
The result is a brand parents trust and return to. The Tranquil Turtle won the Toy Industry Association's Toy of the Year Award (Infant/Toddler category, 2013), and Cloud B products have earned The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval. Children who grow up with a Twilight Turtle often keep it well into childhood — many parents buy a second unit when the first finally wears out after years of nightly use.

How Toycycle Inspects Every Cloud B Product
Parents deserve confidence when buying pre-owned baby products. That's why every Cloud B sleep soother goes through the same quality-control process before it reaches our collection.
Step 1 — Initial product review
Each item is checked for overall condition and completeness. We confirm the product matches its original model and look for missing components, excessive wear, or structural damage.
Step 2 — Electronics & performance testing
Every electronic feature is tested — light projection, sound quality, volume controls, timers, auto shut-off, and buttons, depending on the model. Products that don't perform as intended are never listed.
Step 3 — Cleaning & sanitization
Approved items are thoroughly cleaned before photography and storage. Plush surfaces are carefully refreshed, and plastic components are wiped down and inspected.
Step 4 — Safety inspection
We examine battery compartments, seams, stitching, and fasteners to make sure the product remains safe for normal use. Anything with damage that could affect safety or performance is removed from inventory.
Step 5 — Honest condition grading
Every item receives a clear condition grade, and cosmetic imperfections are photographed whenever possible:
- New: unopened, in original packaging
- Overstock: brand new and unused — surplus inventory, in original packaging
- Open Box: opened packaging, handled but no signs of extended use
- Used — Like New: virtually no visible wear
- Used — Excellent: light signs of use, no significant marks
- Used — Good: visible wear, noted in the description
Step 6 — Photography & listing
Each product is photographed and accurately described, with details of its condition, features, and included accessories — so there are no surprises when your order arrives.
And if an item isn't as described when it arrives, we take it back. That's our quality guarantee — no fine print.

Everything You Need to Know About Cloud B Products
Cloud B Twilight Turtle — The Classic Star Projector
The Twilight Turtle is a soft plush turtle that projects a starry night sky — including eight real constellations, such as the Big Dipper — onto bedroom walls and ceilings. Choose from three light colors (blue, green, or amber) to set the mood, and use the included Star Guide to turn bedtime into a gentle learning moment. It shuts off automatically after 45 minutes, giving most children plenty of time to fall asleep, and runs on batteries, making it portable for travel and sleepovers.
- Best for: birth to age 6
- Feature: star and constellation projection
- Timer: 45-minute auto shut-off
Cloud B Tranquil Turtle — Sound and Light Combined
The Tranquil Turtle is Cloud B's most advanced turtle — the one that adds sound to the visual experience. Instead of stars, it projects a gently moving underwater effect, with ocean waves rippling across the ceiling. It also plays two calming sounds — gentle waves or a soothing melody — with adjustable volume. It runs for 23 minutes before shutting off, roughly the time it takes most young children to fall asleep.
- Best for: newborns and infants
- Feature: ocean-wave projection plus calming sound
- Timer: 23-minute auto shut-off
- Award: Toy of the Year, Infant/Toddler category (2013)
Cloud B Twilight Buddies — Stars in a New Shape
The Twilight Buddies range brings the Twilight Turtle's star projection to a wider family of plush characters — Bunny, Unicorn, Puppy, and more. Each Buddy projects a starry sky that eases fear of the dark, and the cuddly design means children often form genuine attachments that outlast the nightlight years.
- Best for: babies and young children
- Feature: star projection in a lovable plush form
- Characters: Bunny, Unicorn, Puppy, and more
Cloud B Sleep Sheep — The Travel Sound Machine
The Sleep Sheep is a plush sound machine that plays eight soothing sounds, including a mother's heartbeat, ocean waves, rain, and lullabies. It clips to a crib, stroller, or car seat, making it ideal for babies who need consistent sleep sounds at home and on the go. A 23- or 45-minute timer and simple controls make it easy to use.
- Best for: newborns to toddlers
- Feature: eight sounds, including heartbeat
- Attachment: crib, stroller, or car seat
Cloud B Nighty Night Owl — The Smart Sensor Soother
The Nighty Night Owl is Cloud B's smartest soother. A built-in sound sensor detects crying and automatically responds with soothing sounds and gentle light to calm your baby back to sleep — without you needing to get up. For parents navigating night-wake cycles, it can be a genuine game-changer in the early months.
- Best for: newborns and young infants
- Feature: auto-activating cry sensor
