Co-founders of Sheet Society, Hayley and Andy Worley, have launched Resting, a new sleepwear brand created to reframe how Australians think about rest.
The idea evolved after years of operating at full speed, when Hayley Worley, like many founders, found herself wearing ‘busy’ as a badge of honour, juggling the worlds of building a business and new motherhood. When burnout forced a full stop, the pause became a turning point.
“In that moment of stillness, I realised creativity and clarity don’t live in the hustle. Rest isn’t the opposite of ambition, it’s what sustains it,” she said.
“Resting reframes rest as an act of choice rather than chance, something we design into our lives, not something that just happens when we’re exhausted. I want people to feel empowered to find their own balance in the chaos; the ‘off’ that lets them do even more when they’re on.”
Resting marked a return to her fashion roots, drawing on a decade of design and creative direction with Sheet Society and a longstanding love of textiles that shape the rituals of home. Each piece is crafted for comfort with fabrics that prioritise longevity, renewability, and ethical production, and chosen for their ability to elevate the experience of rest.
In a mission to redefine modern comfort, Resting has debuted with a fashion-forward collection of tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories. The brand has emerged within a cultural shift of embracing rest as an essential practice rather than an indulgence.
Each silhouette has been crafted through an emotional lens, balancing function and feeling, with universal fits, soft silhouettes, and aesthetics that transcend traditional sleepwear, curated to be mixed, matched, and worn in different ways that extend beyond the bedroom.
The launch collection features separates in three refined fabrics: Soft Woven Cotton, a breathable sateen with subtle structure; CloudKnit Jersey, a softly peached, ultra-stretchy jersey designed to move with the body; and Lightweave Bamboo, a sandwashed bamboo lyocell known for its airiness, drape, and gentle matte finish.
Resting is available exclusively online, designed for real people, real movement, and real life.
