Steadi was invented on a couch in Orange, California — by a dad who got tired of watching drinks go over.
From the founder
With three kids under three, spills at our house weren't accidents — they were a schedule. Juice on the carpet. A full can on the couch cushion. That slow-motion lunge across the living room that never quite arrives in time.
I went looking for something to fix it and came up empty. Coasters don't help on soft surfaces. Cupholders stay where they're built. Everything I found either lived in one spot or didn't really work. So I started building the thing I couldn't buy.
The early versions were rough, but the idea kept proving itself, bump after bump. When a design finally made it through a full week in my living room — kids, guests, movie nights — I figured it was ready for yours.
Widen the base, lower the balance point, and a drink settles in instead of tipping over.
We brought Steadi to the Newport Beach Boat Show to find out whether strangers would care. They nearly cleaned us out. Since then, more than 3,500 Steadis have settled onto couches, boat decks, nightstands, and campsites across the country.
Steadi is still small on purpose. Every sleeve is made in the USA, patent pending, and ships from Orange, California. When you email support, I'm the one who writes back. And every order carries a 30-day money-back guarantee — because that's the deal I'd want as a customer.

Milestones
How we got here.
Late 2025
The first Steadi prototypes come together at home in Orange, CA — built for one very spill-prone living room.
Steadi debuts at the Newport Beach Boat Show and nearly sells out over the weekend.
Today
3,500+ Steadis in the wild — and fewer than 1 in 1000 ever comes back.
How we operate
The things we won't compromise.
Made in the USA
Designed in California, made in the USA, and shipped from our own shelves in Orange, CA.
Founder-run
No call center, no ticket maze. Email us and it's Scott who answers.
Tested at home first
Every change runs the hardest lab we know: a house with three kids and one good couch.
A guarantee we honor
30 days, 100% money-back, free returns. If your drink still tips, we make it right.
In real life
The goal
We want 'steadi' to become a word.
The thing you slide onto a can before handing it to a kid. The thing that lives on the boat, the nightstand, the arm of the couch. When the cushion gets bumped and the drink just settles back — we want someone to ask, 'wait, is that a Steadi?'
