History & Philosophy of a Made In France brand

Little Cadors, a story born in the family

"Like many travelers and families, we bought a U-shaped pillow to sleep in the car, but... no one slept a wink with this accessory! You've certainly faced this situation too! So, we had the idea of ​​creating a real soft car pillow with a fastening system to keep it in place. At home, we made the first prototype that we used ourselves, and had our friends and family test it, curious to try this invention. We quickly imagined other models for different and very targeted nomadic uses.
The concept approved: the Petits Cadors brand was born!”
_ Muriel & Laurent

With each new collection, our greatest challenge is to select partners and manufacturers of materials locally, who share the same values.

Patent of invention!

ISIDOR holds a patent with the French National Institute of Industrial Property because its system for attaching it to a vehicle's headrest, simple as it may be, didn't yet exist. Sometimes, simple ideas revolutionize practices and make the product highly effective. Continuous innovation, and all of the brand's other cushions are also registered designs and patents.

Winners of the show "My invention is worth gold"

In July 2019, ISIDOR, the car pillow, won over M6 experts Jérôme Bonaldi, Erika Delattre, and Emmanuelle Rivassoux. Cdiscount then named the Little Cadors winners of this show dedicated to inventions. It's a great reward and a huge boost for the brand!

Our motivation? To create and offer you original objects with a unique design!

Poor sleep and musculoskeletal pain, current issues

Around the world, people are becoming aware that a lack of sleep or poor-quality sleep has real consequences! American neuroscience professor Matthew Walker is sounding the alarm: "In industrialized nations, the impact of sleep deprivation is proving catastrophic for our health, life expectancy, safety, productivity, and the education of our children."

And he adds, "This silent epidemic represents the greatest public health challenge we face as developed nations in the 21st century."

Sleeping and resting are human needs, just like breathing, drinking, or eating. It's therefore urgent to give them back the place they deserve and to be able to satisfy them as much as possible in our daily lives. It's with this in mind that we design our nomadic pillows!
Focused on well-being, we believe it is essential to combine the useful with the pleasant!

The nomadic pillow that takes care of people and the planet

Petits Cadors is constantly working on new prototypes of nomadic cushions, which meet its requirements in terms of design and quality. We now know the extent to which quality sleep, or a nap, has a positive effect on the body, mind, and health. User feedback is excellent and confirms that the proposed range significantly improves daily life, helps relieve pain, and provides practical solutions to everyone's problems.

Committed to eco-designing its products, Petits Cadors uses high-quality recycled materials to limit the impact on resources . For user safety, the materials are OEKO-TEX, BIO, GOTS certified.

A certified manufacturing guaranteed by Origine France

From the start of the adventure, Muriel and Laurent decided that their products would be entirely manufactured in France to contribute to job creation, the revival of the textile industry in France and the circular economy . A successful bet: In 2024, Petits Cadors is made up of a team of 10 people who design and manufacture all of the products in their own workshop in Nailloux (31).
