Sleep on IT: Review & Giveaway of Madii and Dyl Pillows for Small Children

written by thatsit July 14, 2011

For the past six months, I’ve been on the great pillow search. Both my children, ages 3 and 4, like to sleep with pillows in their beds but it’s been a real challenge to find the perfect ones. We have two basic criteria for our search – 1) they need to be smaller than adult-size pillows and 2) simple to wash and dry. Both my kiddies get hot heads overnight so I need to frequently wash and dry before bedtime. Options are scarce. I found some small, inexpensive kids pillows at IKEA but they don’t last more than a couple of months with washings and getting in and out of an IKEA store quickly can be a chore. My daughter received a pillow pet at Christmas that she likes to sleep on, but it is hard to wash and dry thoroughly every day to keep it smelling fresh.

Madii and Dyl offer a unique collection of pillows designed just for small children. Originating in Australia and now available for the first time in the U.S., these comfy pillows are hypoallergenic and made with 100 percent natural latex. Because they are created with only the highest quality pure materials, they are naturally resistant to dust mites, mildew and bacteria.

These pillows come in three sizes – Newborn (for day time head support), Toddler (for first time pillow users), and Kid (for growing children), and can safely be used as early as 3 months of age.

Sookie Babe – The newborn nod booster retails for $39 and measures in at 30 x 21 cms. Especially for newborns and infants, the unique cradle design prevents roll-overs and flat-heads while the contours naturally conform to the child’s head providing correct neck support and spine alignment. Self-ventilating cores provide maximum air flow, preventing moisture and heat build-up allowing the child to breathe freely in any sleep position. Ideal for those with allergies, it is the only pillow that can be washed and keep its shape: Lasts for 5yrs+.

Teenii Tot – The toddlers comfort pillow retails for $49 and measures in at 42 x 25 cms. Made for toddlers and walkers, the distinctive wave design conforms to the child’s head offering proper neck support and spine alignment. Self-ventilating cores provide maximum air flow, keeping the child cool and comfortable. Perfect for allergy sufferers, it is the only pillow that can be washed and never change its shape: Lasts for 5yrs+.

Mini Me – The cozy kids pillow retails for $59 and measures in at 48 x 28 cms. Perfect for young children, our exclusive flip-wave design tailors to the growing child with one side slightly higher than the other. Start on the lower side and as the child grows turn the pillow over for a better fit. The contours naturally conform to the child’s head providing vital support for proper neck and spine alignment. Micro-ventilating cores prevent moisture and heat build-up, keeping the child comfortable in any sleep position. Ideal for allergy sufferers, it is the only pillow that retains its shape after each and every wash: Lasts for 5yrs+.

We trialed the Teenii Tot-sized pillow this month in my son’s bed. The pillow was heavier than I expected it to be due to being made of latex, rather than the cotton/poly-fill of our previous pillow contenders. My little guy had no complaints and I was happy to find it dry in the morning. I think the pillows wavy contours allow it to ventilate it better than regular pillows for those kids whose heads heat up when they sleep. It’s first washing and drying was also a success. On the downside, its odd shape meant I couldn’t use the crib-size pillow cases and our regular pillow cases had to be folded over to fit. I may have my seamstress mom cut down some regular size pillow cases to fit, but not everyone has this option. These pillows are perfect to keep in our beds but they are a too big and heavy to travel with us for weekend trips to the grandparents. Hmmm, maybe the Madii and Dyl folks will have a travel-size option in our future? Hint, hint.

Madii & Dyl Mini Me

I learned that the idea for these pillows came from Jackie, a mom of 2 kids after she could not find products that met the sensitive needs of her kids. After doing research she created her own and began her own company that makes hypoallergenic and supportive pillows for kids.
