Sleepyhead/Sleeping pods

Hi
I'm just thinking of sleeping options for when baby arrives. This is our first baby so a bit clueless tbh. I've seen a few friends posts on social media and they use the Sleepyhead or sleeping pods for their newborns. However, I read on The Lullaby Trust that they're not recommended?
Any advice/info would be appreciated.

On the money front - you’ll get a surprising amount of money back for them second hand. I sold the small sleepyhead for £50 and the big one for £80.

I did find it helped, felt snugger and firmer than a rolled towel.

I know the lullaby trust don’t recommend them but I’ve never found a single article where a babies death has been attributed to a sleepyhead or even where a baby has died in one.
