So your baby’s gotten big enough for a toddler pillow in their bed?

Fantastic!

But choosing the best toddler pillow can be a bit confusing, there’s a lot of choices but not a lot of information.

Which is why I put together this guide, to explain everything you need to know and show you some of my favorites.

I’ve got a quick look at my top choices for the best toddler pillow below, just click the name to see more info, the price and order yours.

Why Choose A Toddler Pillow VS A Regular Pillow

Toddler pillows are smaller than adult pillows which is handy if you need it for inside a cot or a cot bed and because they’re not as tall. You don’t want your little one to strain their neck just trying to lie on their pillow after all.

What Age Should You Start Using A Toddler Pillow

It really varies for every child, in general, you shouldn’t really use a pillow before they’re 2 years old according to The Baby Center, but a lot of pillow manufacturers say after 12 months old.

And there are a lot of Mums on Net Mums who have had a huge range of ages some as young as 3 months to help stop acid reflux and others as old as 4 because their child just didn’t like them. So it’s up to you if you don’t have a specific reason for needing your baby on a pillow then feel free to wait till they’re older. But only you know your child the best.

Best Size Of Toddler Pillow

The width and length all depend on how big your sleep space is, as long as it comfortably fits on the bed/cotbed/cot whatever you have it’s ok.The important thing is the height, like I said you don’t want a 12 cm tall adult pillow you want something much flatter and closer to the 3-7 cm, you 3 cm for memory foam and 5cm for something softer like wool.

Hypoallergenic

Hypoallergenic toddler pillows aren’t absolutely essential because they’ll only really make a difference if your child has allergies. But when they’re that young it’s hard to tell so I’d always recommend going with a hypoallergenic pillow just in case.
