Panda kids pillow composition
When shopping for your little one, you first want to know how the product is made and if it’s safe for your child. 🧐
The Panda kids pillow is composed of the safest and latest hypoallergenic materials. ✔️
This includes:
- 3rd generation memory foam
- In-built pillow protector
- Bamboo fibre pillow cover
But what does all of this mean?
Let’s break it down. 👇
3rd generation memory foam
Panda Life uses the latest advanced Visco memory foam that provides the best support for your child’s sleep.
The 3rd generation foam moulds around the head and shoulders to encourage neutral spinal alignment.
The luxury memory foam bamboo pillow also returns to its original shape after it has been compressed.🥰
See how this works below:
We’ll go into more detail about our results from testing a bit later. 👀
In-built pillow protector
The in-built pillow protector is underneath the bamboo cover.
The protective mesh layer is soft-touch and prevents dust and dirt from getting into the pillow. ☔
It also encourages the memory foam pillow to keep its natural shape.
So, how about that cover?
Bamboo pillow cover
The outer cover is made from ethically sourced organic bamboo and is the highest quality. ✨
Bamboo is a naturally breathable material that encourages airflow throughout the pillow. 🌬️
The antibacterial properties of bamboo help keep the pillow stay clean and gentle on the skin.
We’ll tell you more about the benefits and functions of this bamboo further down.
Now, why is this particular pillow suitable for your child? 🤔
Kids pillows vs adult pillows
Many people don’t realise that a child has specific needs for a pillow.
Children often sleep with adult pillows that strain the neck and spine and create a disruptive sleep. 😴
When should a child use a pillow?
An infant can use a pillow from the age of 1. 👶
This reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome [1] (SIDS) by 80%.
Using a pillow before this time increases the risk of death in babies by suffocation, choking, putting an unnatural strain on the neck and constricting the airways.
You should also avoid using blankets and stuffed animals in your child’s cot under this age. 🧸
What is the best pillow for a child?
The ideal “kids pillow” is not as deep as an adult pillow.
Children have much smaller frames, and there is less space between the head and shoulders to fill with a pillow.
Additionally, a child’s pillow should be softer than an adult’s.
Ideally, the pillow will mould around the head whilst still being supportive enough to keep the neck straight with the spine. 🤗
Why is Panda an excellent choice for kids?
The Panda kids pillow has been designed specifically to accommodate the needs of children above the age of 4. 🧒
It’s softer than a regular pillow whilst still having lots of support for little heads.
It’s also smaller and lower than an adult pillow, making it the perfect size for children. 🙌
The washable antibacterial cover helps to keep the pillow fresh and prevent unwanted accidents.
But don’t just take our word for it. 👇
What did our mini tester make of the Panda kids pillow?
We had our youngest Sleep Hero try the pillow to see if it was a great choice for kids. 🦸
Our five-year-old tester slept on the Panda kids pillow for several months.
To summarise:
- Our tester found the pillow comfortable and easy to move around on.
- We found no overall difference in the child’s sleeping pattern on this pillow.
- The pillow was most suitable in the side sleeping position.
Let’s unpack this even more below. 🧐
Is the Panda kids pillow suitable for side sleepers?
Our mini-tester tried the pillow in several sleeping positions.
As a typical side sleeper, the Panda kids pillow was the most comfortable for our tester in this position. 😍
The 3rd generation memory foam moulded around the head and shoulders and kept the child’s head at the perfect height.
This helped to keep the neck aligned with the spine for healthy sleep. 😅
Is the Panda kids pillow suitable for stomach and back sleepers?
However, we felt the Panda kids pillow was slightly too deep for our tester in the stomach and back sleeping position. 👎
As you can see, there is a slight bend in the spine and neck in these positions. 🙁
However, with our mini-tester still being relatively young, we think this is a pillow most children can grow into.
Children older than 5 may feel more comfortable on the Panda kids pillow in these positions.
As a general guideline:
- Side sleepers need a pillow deep and firm enough to fill the space between the head and shoulders and keep the spine in a neutral position.
- Back sleepers need a medium-firm and medium-loft pillow that keeps the neck nice and straight.
- Stomach sleepers need an extra soft and low-loft pillow that aligns the spine and neck.
It’s also important to note that a good pillow won’t be much use without a suitable mattress to match. 🤔
Does the Panda kids pillow sleep hot?
Memory foam has a bad reputation when it comes to sleeping hot. 🥵
As one of the warmest pillow materials, many are put off purchasing this kind of pillow.
The bamboo pillowcase is temperature regulating with breathable fabric designed to improve airflow during sleep.
Bamboo fabric is also moisture wicking, ideal for those that often sweat during sleep.
Overall, our tester slept comfortably and cool on the Panda kids pillow. 🌡️
The pillow did feel slightly warmer than a regular synthetic fibre pillow.
However, the child didn’t overheat during their sleep. ✔️
Panda kids pillow cover
The Panda kids pillow cover is one of the unique components of this memory foam pillow. 🤯
We looked at the different factors of the pillow, including the design, feel, and functionality.
Design
We loved the adorable Panda logo stitched into the cover. 🐼
But it’s not just us adults that fell for the “cute factor” of this design.
Our mini Sleep Hero also loved the Panda logo and commented that it “looks like the Panda is sleeping on the pillow” before giving it a big hug. 😍
The Panda logo acts as a little cuddle companion to comfort your child during sleep.
We think the overall design of the pillow is something that both children and adults can adore. 👌
Feel
The removable Panda cover is made with 60% polyester and 40% bamboo. 🌱
The cover has a soft and smooth feel that indicates the luxurious material.
The cover is relatively thick, indicating that it will be durable and long-lasting. ⏲️
Panda Life recommends sleeping on the cover without a pillowcase to experience the pillow in its full glory.
Ease of use
The Panda kids pillow cover comes with a zip to easily remove the cover for washing. 🧼
You can then wash the pillow cover up to 40°C and tumble-dry it on a low setting. 🌡️
Check the care instructions on the pillow tag for further details.
The high-quality bamboo material means you can wash this cover often without losing its quality.
However, it is advised that you do not wring dry, iron, or bleach the cover.
The antibacterial and odour-resistant properties help to keep the pillow bacteria and dust-mite-free.
This Panda luxury pillow stayed noticeably cleaner compared to regular kid’s pillows. 🙌
Panda kids pillow sizes
The Panda kids pillow measures 53 x 38 x 10 cm (20.8 x 14.9 x 3.9 inches).
The Panda kids pillow is smaller than an adult pillow to be more suitable for children. 📏
The rest of the Panda pillow range comes in the following sizes:
- Panda Memory Foam Bamboo Baby Pillow - 45 x 25 x 3 cm
- Panda Memory Foam Bamboo Toddler Pillow - 53 x 38 x 6 cm
- Panda Memory Foam Bamboo Pillow for Adults - 60 x 40 x 12 cm
Our reviews for each Panda pillow can give you an idea of suitability, price, and other conditions.
Panda kids pillow price
We think the Panda kids pillow is fantastic value for money. 💰
Whilst the price may seem excessive for a child’s pillow, it is much cheaper than other memory foam products on the market.
It’s also likely to last the child throughout their entire childhood. 🧒🧑
So, despite being more expensive than a synthetic fibre pillow, it should work out cheaper in the long term without regularly replacing the pillow. 🤯
Panda pillow discount code
Despite their fantastic prices for such high-quality products, Panda also offers regular discounts and promotions. 🏷️

Other sleep-related kids products
Creating an easy sleep routine for your child isn't always straightforward.
You have to contend with night terrors, bedwetting, and those rambunctious kids that just won't settle.
So, how can we help?
How to create the perfect sleep routine
We highly recommend purchasing a mattress protector for your child alongside a suitable pillow.
A waterproof mattress protector can prevent stains caused by bedwetting and other accidents.
They also reduce the build-up of bacteria and dust mites, improving the mattress lifespan. ⏳
If your child is fond of sleepovers but has limited space, you may also consider a trundle bed frame.
A trundle bed provides additional sleeping areas without compromising your space.
A convenient bed frame paired with a comfy pillow and mattress protector will help level up your child's sleep routine. 🤗
Panda pillow delivery conditions
The Panda kids pillow is delivered in a recycled cardboard box. 📦
The Panda pillow came with free delivery and was delivered by DPD with an hour time slot on the delivery day.
The Panda kids pillow took just a few days to arrive, but next-day delivery options are also available. 🚚💨
Panda Life pays attention to the little things, and we love the details on the cardboard box that made us feel special. 🤗
It was easy-peasy to unbox this pillow.
See for yourself below! 👇
But can you recycle the box once it’s been unpacked?
Sustainable packaging
We were pleased to discover the cardboard packaging was made from 100% recyclable materials and can be recycled again. ♻️
But, the Panda kids pillow itself is wrapped in protective plastic.
You should remove and dispose of the plastic packaging before letting your child have their new pillow.
Off-gassing
There was a very faint smell when we first removed the packaging from the Panda kids pillow. ♨️
This is known as off-gassing and should disappear after a few hours.
Off-gassing isn’t harmful or toxic, and the smell was barely noticeable.
Overall, we were delighted with the packaging and delivery service. 👍
Do Panda pillows come with a trial?
Most pillows do not include a sleep trial or return policy, particularly in brick-and-mortar retail stores.
However, Panda Life includes a 30-night trial on all their pillows. ⏳
This starts from the delivery date and allows you enough time to adjust to your new pillow. 🥰
It’s unlikely that your child won’t love the Panda kids pillow - but if they don’t, then you can send the pillow back for a full refund.
But, what kind of guarantee do you have if you decide to keep the pillow?
Panda kids pillow guarantee
As well as a month-long sleep trial, the Panda kids pillow also includes a decade-long warranty.
This means you’ll be guaranteed against manufacturing faults for 10 years. 🤞
Manufacturing faults include the pillow losing its shape or material unthreading. 🧵
After months of testing, the Panda kids pillow has retained its shape without the need to fluff or puff.
The warranty does not include accidental damage, so we recommend using pillow protectors for additional protection.
Should I buy a Panda kids pillow?
The Panda kids pillow is a high-quality pillow with fantastic value for money. 💰
We truly think this is a great pillow for kids based on our tests and the overwhelmingly positive customer reviews.
It may be pricier than some other kids’ pillows, but we anticipate this pillow will provide a perfect night’s sleep and last long enough to be enjoyed throughout their childhood. 🤗
And if you find it unsuitable, you can always send it back within 30 days!
So, what are you waiting for?

Frequently asked questions
-
What type of pillow is best for a child?
The ideal pillow for a child supports the natural alignment of their spine and neck.
Typically, this will be softer and lower than an adult pillow as children are much smaller.
It would be best if you also considered pillows made with chemical-free materials that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
-
Do Panda pillows come with a sleep trial?
Yes!
All Panda pillows come with a 30-night sleep trial.
You can sleep on your Panda pillow for up to 30 nights and if you change your mind, just follow the returns process for a full refund.
-
Do you put a pillowcase on a memory foam pillow?
You can put a pillowcase on a memory foam pillow.
However, remember memory foam cannot circulate air like a regular pillow.
Pillowcases made with natural fibres such as bamboo or cotton will encourage better ventilation in your pillow.
As you cannot get memory foam wet, we recommend using some outer protection for your pillow.
Luckily, the Panda pillow comes with an in-built protector and bamboo outer cover and does not require an additional pillowcase to be used.
