Description
My Second Pillow
My Second Pillow is the perfect next step, a low profile, full-sized pillow designed specifically for children as they grow.
Carefully created with children in mind, it offers gentle head and neck support while still maintaining a safe, breathable sleep environment.
This pillow is filled with Ingeo, a natural, sustainable plant fibre that is 100% biodegradable. Ingeo requires around half the energy to produce compared to polyester and emits significantly fewer greenhouse gases, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
With a slightly higher profile than My First Pillow, this pillow sits at approximately 9cm, providing the right level of support for older children who are ready to transition.
For convenience, you can use the removable zip cover from your My First Pillow.
Please note: My Second Pillow does not come with a pillow protector. If you already have My First Pillow, you may use the removable zip cover. If not, you may like to add a pure cotton pillow protector to your order to complete your bedding setup.
You can find the pillow protector here.

When to Move from My First Pillow
Most children are ready to move to My Second Pillow from around 5 years of age.
However, rather than focusing only on age, I would always look at your child.
You may like to consider moving when:
- Your child looks like they need a little more height or support
- Their shoulders are becoming broader and they no longer sit comfortably on a very low profile pillow
- They are consistently sleeping well and ready for the next stage
It is important not to move too early. A pillow that is too high can affect your child’s alignment and comfort during sleep.
My First Pillow has been designed to be very low for a reason, and keeping your child on it for as long as they are comfortable is always the safest approach.
When the time is right, My Second Pillow provides the next gentle step, offering a little more support while still maintaining a safe, breathable sleep environment.
A Personal Note on Pillow Choice
Something I would like to gently share is that this is not always a strict transition.
We have many adult clients, readers and friends who use My First Pillow so well beyond childhood. Some even take it on holiday with them because they find they cannot sleep on anything else.
We often hear from families needing a replacement for this reason.
Sleep is very personal, and what feels right for one child may be different for another.
So while My Second Pillow is the next step for many children, it is also perfectly okay for your child to continue with My First Pillow if they are comfortable and sleeping well.
For some, My First or My Second Pillow becomes something they use for many years, even into adulthood.
It is always about what feels right for your child.
As always, prevention is better than the cure.
