Snuggle-Pedic Toddler Pillow

I am a petite female, 5 feet tall. Could I use this toddler size pillow?

We generally believe that the toddler pillow size can work as a camping or travel type pillow for adults, but it is very small regular usage. For regular usage, we recommend smaller individuals use the Standard size Snuggle-Pedic bamboo pillow.

What does low VOC mean?

VOC means Volatile Organic Compounds. We have gone this extra mile to do this research and add these findings because the consumer market place has expressed concern with the various chemicals that can be found in bedding products (especially foam and fiber) and we share that concern. Our 100% mix of proprietary Biogreen memory foam and CertiPUR-US Certified foams are free of PBDE, TDI, Boric Acid and Bromine, each a dangerous chemical. However, bedding products, are known to be made from fibers, foams, adhesives, fire retardants, and other additives that can generate emissions (known as “off-gassing”) of V.O.C. s (Volatile Organic Compounds). V.O.C.s include a variety of chemicals, some of which have been linked with adverse health effects. V.O.C.s are found in many consumer products, including inks, gasoline, cleaning supplies, newspaper, carpets, glues, certain furniture, perfume, and cosmetics. The emissions often have no recognizable odor or color, vaporize easily at room temperature, and can be triggered when products are used or stored. Obviously, with a product that one sleeps on, off-gassing of V.O.C.s is a serious concern, since it affects the very air we breathe! With that said, even the air you breathe every day has V.O.C. levels that are never mentioned, but more of a factor than you might think. Thankfully, the EPA has very high standards for their indoor air quality. The EPA has a Maximum allowable indoor air total V.O.C. concentration of .20 mg/m3 above whatever the outside air concentration of V.O.C.'s are in that particular area. However, these V.O.C.s do not account for contributions from office furniture, occupants, items they bring into the office and occupant activities, which would increase the V.OC. concentrations well beyond those allowable amounts. Contrast that with the fact that our Biogreen memory foam testing showed only .039 mg/m3 of total V.O.C.s. and that our CertiPUR-US Certified foams cannot be greater than .5 mg/m3 and are often times much lower and you can see why we put so much effort into ensuring that this issue is addressed to our fullest possible ability.

Will this pillow be ok for 6 and 7-year-old kids or it is small?

Absolutely! We choose the amount of fill, as well as the firmness, weight, and support for the Snuggle-Pedic Kid’s Pillow based on what has worked well for the majority of younger kids from 3 to 10 years old, but we realize that not anyone single pillow can work for everyone. However, unlike every other pillow manufacturer that mass produce and are oftentimes using overseas labor and materials, our U.S. factory located right here in Southern California enables us to also customize your pillow to better suit your needs (we will even be paying the shipping both ways). If you for any reason it does not work well for your child's needs, feel free to contact us and we can always decrease the thickness, weight and/or size of the pillow.

Does this toddler pillow really keep a head cool?

The combination of our micro-vented Kool-Flow bamboo covering and the open airflow of the shredded memory foam pieces gives you the optimal breathability to keep reduce heat build-up throughout the night, so long as you use a breathable pillowcase. That is why we offer our Kool-Flow micro-vented knitted toddler pillow case, as it is many times more breathable than other fabrics and is made from the safest organic cotton that feels amazing and keeps cooler throughout the night.

How firm is this Snuggle-Pedic Kid’s pillow?

We use a very adaptable type of foam fill that allows the pillow to conform to your head and neck, giving it a softer touch and feel, but enabling the pillow to maintain the support that is more buoyant than other softer pillows like use fills such as down. That would make it a medium-soft overall firmness.

What are the dimensions of this Snuggle-Pedic Toddler Pillow?

For the Snuggle-Pedic Kids Pillow, we cut the Kool-Flow bamboo fabric covering to allow for an 18-inch width and 13-inch length, but the whole pillow measurement can be a bit more or less, depending on how spread out the fill is.

My toddler’s pillow never did fluff up to the size it was supposed to be. What can we do?

It sounds like your Snuggle-Pedic Toddler Pillow did not re-inflate properly from the vacuum compressed state we ship in and consequently, it is clustered together and flat. Placing the pillow in the dryer on a high heat setting for 20 minutes should smooth out the foam and permanently release the foam back to its normal fluffy state, but if it does not, then it is defective and will fall under our 120-night sleep trial or our 20-year warranty. Also, we choose the firmness, sizing, weight and support based on what has worked well for the majority of customers, but we realize that not anyone single pillow can work for everyone. However, unlike every other pillow manufacturer that mass produce and are oftentimes using overseas labor and materials, our U.S. factory located right here in Southern California enables us to customize the pillow to better suit your needs at no cost to you whatsoever (we will even be paying the shipping both ways). If the dryer does not fix this, please call us at 800 667-1969 and we can figure out what may have gone wrong in this case and either replace your pillow or modify it to suit your exact softness needs.

How do I spread this pillow out? My 3 year old loves bigger pillows.

You can gather the fill of the pillow by squeezing it together and it will make it much thicker. If you want it thicker and larger, then you would need to move to the next level of sizing, which is our Standard size Snuggle-Pedic and we only charge the difference between the two products and we pay all shipping costs to get this done for you.
