The Mindfull Hideaway Hood is a personal retreat space designed to help students find calm, carry out a solo task or take a quiet break within a busy classroom or open-plan learning environment. Part of the Mindfull range, it combines a durable timber structure with acoustic panels and upholstered surfaces, giving one to two students a defined, sheltered space away from classroom activity.
The Hideaway Hood is part of the Mindfull range, designed to help schools create dedicated spaces where students can find a moment of calm within a busy learning environment. Its arched hood and upholstered interior create a sheltered space for one to two students to work independently, rest or self-regulate before returning to classroom activity.
The acoustic panels lining the interior help reduce surrounding noise and distraction, supporting students who benefit from a quieter, more defined space. Materials and colourways are inspired by nature, with soft textures and muted tones designed to support a sense of calm. The Hideaway Hood is suitable for classrooms, libraries, wellbeing rooms and breakout spaces where sensory-friendly seating is part of the learning environment design.
The hood is constructed from FSC certified plywood with a polyester and wool blend fabric outer and PET acoustic panel lining. The Hideaway Seat, Laylow Pad and Laylow Raft are available as optional accessories, each sold separately, and can be used to add comfort and personalise the space inside the hood. Assembly is required and takes place on-site using supplied hardware.

The Mindfull Hideaway Hood helps schools create calmer, more inclusive learning environments by giving students access to a defined personal space within a shared classroom. Its sheltered design and acoustic panel lining can help reduce surrounding noise and visual distraction, supporting students who benefit from a quieter, more contained space during the school day.
Providing students with a space to self-regulate, rest or refocus can support wellbeing and readiness to engage with learning activities. The Hideaway Hood is designed as one element of a broader sensory-friendly learning environment, and works well alongside other Mindfull products to give schools flexible options for supporting diverse learner needs.
