For caring parents, choosing a pillow for a child becomes a rather serious task. After all, the model should combine several important factors at once: environmental friendliness, size, shape, quality of filler and appearance.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a pillow for newborns, you should take into account the angle of its inclination, which should be no more than thirty degrees. This pillow allows the baby to breathe easily during sleep, reducing the risk of choking. Usually such models are filled with synthetic filling (polyurethane foam). For infants, you can pick up a safety pillow, the filler of which is good for air permeability. Even if the child buries his nose in the pillow in a dream, the filler will not let him suffocate.
Step 2
As the child grows up, he will need a pillow that can ensure the correct position of the body during sleep and rest. The model with eco-friendly down filling has sufficient volume and low weight. Down of waterfowl is used for stuffing, it is light and warm. A significant disadvantage of such a product is the possibility of developing an allergic reaction to the material.
Step 3
The baby pillow can be stuffed with wool, it keeps cool in summer and warm in winter. This pillow has good volume and light weight. Wool can create electrostatics that have a positive effect on the human body. The only drawback of the woolen filler is that it quickly collapses into lumps, which makes the pillow unsuitable for baby's sleep.
Step 4
A pillow made of natural material should be of medium firmness. Therefore, in recent years, pillows filled with buckwheat husks are gaining more and more popularity. This stuffing has a number of advantages: the material provides light massage of the cervical spine and head, improves blood circulation. The buckwheat husk pillow is an ideal orthopedic device for a child.
Step 5
Children prone to sweating are advised to choose a lyocell pillow. Such material is remarkably breathable, so the baby's head will not sweat during sleep. Lyocel also does not cause allergic reactions and can be washed well. You can opt for a latex-filled pillow for your baby to keep the head in the correct position while sleeping. Such a product will serve for a very long time.
Step 6
When choosing a pillow, pay attention to the design features:
- dimensions are desirable 40x60 or 30x50 centimeters;
- the seams must be strong, elastic (the filler must not look out through the seams);
- the presence of a zipper on the side (it will allow you to inspect the filler and, if necessary, remove the excess).
