Is the Bottoms Up durable?
Yes, very. The cover is wipeable hard-wearing ‘leather feel’ vinyl, designed to stand the test of time.

Yes, the foam is of high density specifically designed to cater to downward pressures.

Can a child under three years use the Tranquillow Childrens’ Pillow?
No, not recommended. The varying heights on either side of the pillow are designed for the years as specified, 3-7.

What pillow should I use then for my child under three years of age?
Whatever you use should not be too soft or able to be crumpled. Your child requires unimpeded breathing patterns at all times,
and you should be mindful of this. A low non-creasing platform, probably in foam, is desirable
^ Top
What side to I select with Tranquillow for my child to use?
The first year or two, the low side is recommended for children of
average frame, and then the high side for older children.

Why should I select this pillow over a regular polyfill pillow?
It is our opinion that a mildly contoured pillow such as Family Pillow Junior encourages the natural curvature of the spine during
sleep, and that this is a positive contribution to your child’s physical development. A polyfill pillow forms its own shape during
the night, and as such good posture can suffer.
^ Top
What are the foam ‘bumps’ for on the pillow?
To help dissipate pressure points to the head and neck. We believe this is advantageous and makes for a more comfortable pillow.
^ Top
What side should I use for my child, the high or low?
It is a matter of personal comfort. Your child will sort that out for him or herself.
^ Top
Can I use this pillow myself as an adult?
Yes, if you sleep exclusively on your back, and it may also be comfortable for tummy sleepers due to its lowness.
The pillow is too low for adult sidesleeping due to the need to align (support) the neck and head evenly, and in this position the
Junior pillow may not be the answer. We usually recommend the Low version of Family Pillow for the female frame or smaller male
physiques.

Will my child sweat in this product?
We use an open weave broderie anglais pattern. It must be remembered that anything you
apply to your skin will warm, but if the environment is not hot then there is not a problem.

How do I fit Baby Traveller to my child?
We suggest that you have the ties to one side or higher, so baby can loll against the
girth of the product. We don’t suggest the ties be at the lowest point, not for any other reason than baby’s chin needs to be
supported if gravity takes over. Simply be vigilant as to baby’s position.
