For a growing organism to gain strength, you need not only an orthopedic mattress. You will need bedding made from natural fabrics and a pillow according to age. “Do you really need to take into account how old the baby is when arranging a bedroom?” - you will be surprised. Definitely yes! Next, we will tell you why age matters and what filler to choose for a child's pillow.
Useful information for every parent
What is the best pillow to choose for a child, pediatricians know very well. What do experts say about this? For a newborn, it is better not to buy a pillow, especially an orthopedic option. Babies should sleep on a flat surface without bulges, this will contribute to the correct formation of the skeleton and the development of internal organs. The optimal mattress for the bed is an orthopedic "Winter-Summer". If you want to buy a pillow for a newborn, choose the flattest products made of hypoallergenic material. For instance:
Products for newborns are in the section of pillows for children in the catalog of our company. If you ignore the recommendations, you can harm and spoil the healthy sleep of the baby.
Orthopedic pillows are created for children from 2-3 years old. When choosing them, we recommend analyzing all the characteristics, namely:
- cover fabric;
- filler;
- shape;
- sizes.
When considering which pillow to choose for your child, remember that the main task of this home textile is to support the neck and spine. Excessive softness will not provide comfort, but will harm your health. It is not typical for orthopedic pillows, while resting on them is good and pleasant. These textiles provide support for the child's body. Despite the lack of softness, it is very comfortable to sleep on. The base is often highly elastic foam, which provides an orthopedic effect. The porous structure of the material quickly adapts to the position of the head, restores its shape. The neck muscles are really relaxed, there is no tension.
The result of the right choice
It is a fact that you need to take a responsible approach to buying a baby pillow. Now let's talk about the direct relationship between health and the quality of textiles. On the "wrong" pillow, the neck is in a tense state, which entails problems with blood circulation and oxygen supply to the brain cells. With orthopedic textiles, the children's body really rests, the blood circulates freely through the vessels, they are not pinched.
Caring parents who take a responsible approach to organizing the child's sleep and choosing a pillow prevent a lot of violations. Their children rarely have problems with posture, there is no scoliosis and similar pathologies.
Interesting: do you know why it is so important for the cervical vertebrae to be in a relaxed state during sleep? This is the guarantee of the correct functioning of the circulatory and lymphatic systems, good health after waking up.
We choose by all parameters
If you buy children's textiles, then only safe, hypoallergenic, durable, comfortable. Modern manufacturers also make it stylish and interesting for little users, which is confirmed by the positions from our catalog. Now we will tell you which pillow to choose for sleeping for a child 2-3 years old or more.
The first important point - evaluate the product in all respects. Flat options are not suitable for kindergarten pupils; choose from orthopedic models. Pay attention to the height of the roller, it should not protrude over the shoulders of the child. For such a pillow you need to grow. The optimal height is shoulder-length.
The next important parameter is filler. In orthopedic positions, they are hypoallergenic material, which has a "memory" effect and instantly restores its previous shape after the child wakes up. If you decide to buy a classic pillow, we do not recommend taking an ordinary down and feather product, a large number of children have allergic reactions after sleeping on it. Exceptions will be options that have been repeatedly processed and have an ultra-dense cover made of natural fibers. However, they are not ahead of analogs with new generation synthetic fillers.
Orthopedic baby pillows from IDEIA are the best on the Ukrainian market. Inside they are anti-allergenic UltraSoft fiber, and the case is made of soft and ultra-durable mesh fabric. There are also pillows with siliconized fiber and a 100% ranforce pillowcase. For the cold season, manufacturers produce products with woolen filler, only those who are not allergic to natural material can sleep on them.
Products made from 100% bamboo, silk and tencel have proven themselves well. It is difficult to find them on sale, but it will be safe for babies to sleep with them. These materials, especially tencel based on eucalyptus fiber and bamboo, have antiseptic properties. Manufacturers claim that with the advent of these pillows, children's physical and emotional well-being will improve.
Top 3 essential properties
We recommend choosing a baby pillow that has the following features:
- Elasticity. The head and neck will not collapse.
- Hypoallergenic. The appearance of negative reactions of the body is excluded.
- Air permeability. The body will breathe and really gain strength.
Important: natural materials are not always safe, and synthetic ones cause discomfort. You need to look at the composition and properties to assess the safety of the product. Sometimes allergic reactions in children occur when parents chose a pillow with a natural filler, but it was not he who caused the rash and a deterioration in well-being, but microorganisms that eventually appeared there. Microbes and mites in artificial materials do not multiply. Manufacturers subject the cover and filler to a special treatment. This is another reason to choose a children's orthopedic pillow from innovative materials.
