The science
Every number on this page comes from a test we can show you. Here is what we measured on a child's pillow, how, and with whom.
Show me the results
A children's pillow does not need a clinical trial. It needs to be measured properly, at the heights children actually sleep at, and the measurements shown. That is what we did here.
A sensor mat under the neck records where the weight lands. Red is high pressure, blue is low. Same child, same night, two pillows.
-38%versus a flat pillow
Peak pressure drops from 42 mmHg to 26 mmHg, and the contact surface widens by 31%. The load spreads across the whole cradle instead of concentrating on one point behind the ear.
Lower peak pressure means fewer little wake-ups in the night. That is the whole point of a shaped pillow.Hannah Whitcombe
4°off the spine line, against 14 degrees flat
Measured from photographs taken at the same height, at each of the three pillow heights. A child's shoulder needs room, and the cradle gives it without letting the head drop.
Under five degrees is what we look for. Above ten, a small neck is working all night.Hannah Whitcombe
97%ISO 3385 fatigue test
Thirty thousand compressions is roughly two years of nightly use. The pillow came back to 97% of its original height, which is what keeps a child at the same level from one year to the next.
This is the number that separates a pillow you keep from one you replace every winter.Hannah Whitcombe
Figures from the laboratory report of the pressure mapping session. The report and the certificate of conformity are to be attached to this page before publication.
Height says how far the head is lifted. Too little and the head drops towards the mattress, too much and the chin comes down and the mouth falls open. That is why there are three of them, one per age band, and not one for everybody.
Recovery says how much height comes back after the pillow has been slept on. A soft square loses a third of its height in a couple of months. Ours came back to 97% after the equivalent of two years.
Air it out of the box before the first night. Wash the cover every two to three weeks, more often at the younger ages. Never wash the core, air it instead.
It is made to hold its height through the years your child is in that size band. Two year guarantee on loss of height.
Pressure mapping on 24 children aged 1 to 14 over 30 nights, three sleeping positions, at each of the three heights, in an independent laboratory. Fatigue testing to ISO 3385. Safety tested against the European standards for children's products: materials and shape, fire resistance and chemical safety, with CE marking.
Full report available on request once the certificates are attached.
Four things the cheap end of the shelf uses on a children's pillow, and we do not.
An adult shape made smaller is not a child's shape. The neck is shorter and the shoulder is narrower, and the height has to follow both.
Still common in imported filling. Ours meets the European fire requirement without them.
The source of the chemical smell that never quite leaves, right under a child's face all night. We use none.
Cheap, and they trap heat against a child's cheek. Ours is knitted to breathe.
Safety and OEKO-TEX certificates to be attached once received from the supplier.
