Choosing which pillow to sleep on is a tricky but important decision, especially for kids. It’s crucial for their comfort and to maintain proper spinal alignment. With this in mind, you may be wondering which pillow to choose from our 3 natural options.
All three pillows are fantastic for children however the Kapok Pillow and Shredded Latex pillows stand out with their adjustable loft, allowing customisation to each child's individual preference.
What to consider when choosing a pillow for your child
There are many different types of pillows available to choose from, so it is important to look at key features to make the best choice. Consider these important factors when you are looking for a pillow for your little one:
-
Size and Loft: The pillow needs the appropriate loft (height) to support the head and neck without causing strain.
-
Firmness: In almost all cases, kids need a pillow with medium firmness to offer the perfect blend of proper support and comfort. If it’s too soft or firm, sleeping on the pillow may lead to discomfort or improper spinal alignment.
-
Material: Look for pillows with hypoallergenic materials to help reduce the risk of triggering allergy issues. Natural materials like kapok, organic cotton, or hypoallergenic synthetic fibres are excellent options.
-
Breathability: Breathable materials like cotton or kapok allow air circulation and help regulate temperature, ensuring a peaceful sleep environment.
-
Washability: Kids can be messy, so opt for a pillow with a removable, machine-washable cover for easy cleaning.
-
Safety: Choose a pillow free from harmful chemicals and materials to promote a healthier sleep environment. Look for pillows certified by trusted organisations for compliance with safety standards.
-
Durability: Look for a pillow made from high-quality materials that can withstand regular use and keep its shape and support over time.

What do we recommend for kids?
As we mentioned above, all of our pillows are fantastic options to choose from, so it really comes down to personal preference. However, when we are asked to give our recommendation, we normally lean towards the Kapok Pillow. Here are some of the great features it has to offer:
-
Adjustable Loft: Ideal for those seeking a medium plush pillow with an adjustable loft. The loft (height) is adjustable by hand, allowing you to tailor it to your child's comfort. Simply remember to put the spare loft in an old pillowcase and keep it in your linen cupboard, for future use if needed.
-
Safe and Non-Toxic: Crafted with organic kapok fibres, this pillow is vegan, sustainably sourced, non-toxic, hypoallergenic, moisture-repellent, and anti-dust mites and microbes for complete sleep comfort.
-
Natural Materials: Kapok is a natural plant fibre that is grown and harvested sustainably. It has been thoroughly washed after harvesting to guarantee an all-natural sleeping experience. The pillow comes wrapped in a 100% organic cotton zip case, ensuring a safe and eco-friendly product.
-
Luxuriously Plush: Kapok floss provides ultra-soft and pliant cushioning, giving your toddler a premium fluffy feel. It does this without sacrificing the head support necessary to maintain a comfortable sleeping position.
This truly is the perfect adjustable pillow for kids to support their heads as they sleep, regardless of the sleeping position they have. It is also the lightest pillow of the three options which makes it the easiest for your little one to move around while they sleep. Combining this with our Latex Mattress will provide your little one with the healthy sleep sanctuary they need as they continue growing.
