It’s every bit as important to take the time to find the right pillow for your baby or toddler as it is for you.
Like adults, children get the best sleep when they are comfortable, safe and well supported. The type and size of pillow will depend largely on the age of your child but at JYSK, we have a selection of baby pillows and toddler pillows to suit different developmental levels. All baby and junior pillow are OEKO-TEX® certificated.
All of JYSK’s toddler and baby pillows are machine washable and conform to strict international health and environmental standards. Team with a baby or toddler duvet and duvet covers to complete the set.
Here are some key considerations:
Material: Opt for pillows that are soft, breathable, and gentle on your child’s skin. Memory foam pillows are also an option for older toddlers, offering good support.
Size: The pillow should be appropriately sized for your child’s bed and head. For toddlers, a small pillow (about 12x16 inches) is usually sufficient. It should be thin and flat, avoiding excessive height that could strain the neck.
Firmness: A firm pillow is safer and provides better support than a soft one. A pillow that is too soft can pose a suffocation risk, while a firm pillow helps maintain proper spinal alignment as your child sleeps.
Washability: Babies and toddlers are prone to spills and accidents, so choose a pillow that is easy to clean. Machine-washable pillows with removable covers are practical and help maintain hygiene.
Safety Certifications: Look for pillows that meet safety standards and are free from harmful chemicals. Certifications like OEKO-TEX ensure the pillow is safe for your child to use.
By considering these factors, you can ensure that your baby or toddler has a safe, comfortable, and supportive pillow that contributes to better sleep and overall well-being.
