Baby Pillows & Other Wool Products for Babies

Wool products have become increasingly popular among NZ parents looking to provide their babies with the best comfort possible. Wool is a natural material with many benefits that make it ideal for baby pillows and other items. Not only is wool soft, durable, and breathable, but it can also help regulate temperature so your baby stays comfortable all night long. Beyond the many obvious benefits, wool will also deter nasty bugs such as mildew and dust mites, which will help aid your baby's overall health.

When it comes to choosing the right pillow for your baby, look no further than 100% New Zealand wool products. Wool pillows are naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial which makes them perfect for sensitive skin. They also offer superior support to keep your little one comfortable throughout the night. Many companies produce wool pillows designed specifically for babies with firm edges to ensure optimal head and neck support. These pillows are lightweight yet supportive enough so you don't have to worry about your baby getting too warm or uncomfortable while sleeping.

Synthetic materials, such as memory foam, are not recommended for toddlers. Whilst they can be more affordable, what you pay is what you get, unfortunately. What you'll discover is that most synthetic pillows can't be cleaned properly, which is a health hazard, especially for babies whose immune systems are only months old. Synthetic pillows are mass-produced (likely in an unhealthy environment) and freighted into NZ by resellers only interested in making stacks of money. We don't encourage anyone, let alone babies, to sleep on synthetic pillows. Even if you have set aside a budget, you can see it as an investment in your or your baby's health.

Mums and dads should take into account the age of their child when selecting a baby pillow – newborns will need softer options with no extra filling material, while toddlers, who are a few years old, may benefit from firmer pillows with more cushioning. What's the best part of Kind Face Child Pillows? They are fully adjustable. Just add or remove Cloud Wool Fill to adjust the size and firmness as needed.

The Child Cloud Wool Pillow comes with a cotton (custom-sized) pillowcase. (As with all our products) Kind Face chooses only the best quality materials & fabrics to keep your baby sleeping, well, like a baby.

A good pillow is an essential part of our lifestyle and remains the same for adults and babies. A soft teddy bear hugging your kid is far better than letting your baby sleep on hard, unsuitable pillows. Children usually are not very cautious about sleeping and end up doing so in weird postures such as resting on their back or stomach. This can put a lot of strain on your child and can cause severe issues in the future. Since childhood is the perfect age when you can teach better sleeping habits to your child, we recommend you do so at the earliest.

Now that you know how important it is to have the right pillow for a perfect night's sleep let me introduce you to why wool pillows are the perfect pillows for your baby. Wool is a naturally hypoallergenic material that keeps your baby from getting rashes or allergies. Also, it is naturally resistant to mildew and mould unlike cotton stuffed pillows, where mold finds the perfect breeding ground!

A child's health and good sleep are a priority for every parent, and they try their best to keep their child healthy and safe.
