Can memory foam pillows effectively prevent plagiocephaly in infants?

1. Head Support and Pressure Distribution

Memory foam has high elasticity and slow rebound properties. It forms a soft groove when an infant lies on their back, evenly supporting the back of the head and preventing prolonged pressure on one side.

This "soft support + pressure distribution" design is key to preventing uneven stress on the skull that can cause a flat head.

2. It matches the plasticity of the infant's skull

The skull is softening and most plastic between 0-6 months of age. The gentle embrace of a memory foam pillow can provide appropriate correction during this window, supporting the natural development of the head shape.

Clinical studies have shown that using specialized pillows (including memory foam) for infants aged 0-9 months can significantly reduce the plagiocephalic index within 1-3 months, surpassing standard care.
3. Breathable, prevents overheating, and ensures a comfortable sleeping position.

The densely perforated sponge layer provides excellent breathability, preventing babies from tossing or sleeping on their side due to localized heatstroke, thereby maintaining even pressure distribution on the pillow surface.

Breathability is also crucial for maintaining a baby's sleep quality and indirectly reducing the risk of flat head.

4. Overall Product Advantages and Corporate Strength

Established in 1992, Ningbo Mianyang New Materials Co., Ltd. boasts a complete supply chain, from raw material research and development to mold design, ensuring the safety of materials and stable manufacturing processes for its memory foam pillows.

Its product line covers baby products, medical accessories, and other products. Leveraging its professional R&D and manufacturing capabilities, it provides reliable quality assurance for baby memory foam pillows.

How should pillows be cleaned and maintained?

Pillow Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Partially hand wash, avoid machine washing.

Memory foam pillows should not be placed directly in the washing machine or soaked to avoid damaging their structure. It is recommended to gently wipe surface stains with a damp cloth or sponge.
2. Regularly clean the removable pillowcase

Most memory foam pillows come with a removable cover. The cover can be machine washed using the normal washing method (warm water, delicate cycle). Air dry after washing, avoiding high-temperature tumble drying.
3. Air ventilation and avoid direct sunlight

After cleaning, place the pillow in a cool, well-ventilated area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent the foam from aging and hardening.
4. Regular replacement and inspection

It is recommended to replace the pillowcase every 6-12 months. If you notice any dents, odor, or lumps in the memory foam, replace the pillow promptly to ensure safety for your baby.
