Children’s pillow in the test 2022

According to our test, the children’s pillow from KNERST is ideal for helping children to have a peaceful, restful and healthy sleep . It is flat and ergonomic so that it adapts individually to the shape of the head, relieves pressure on the spine and thus enables an ideal sleeping position. It is also ideal for side sleepers. The soft, adaptive CosyPUR gel foam makes it particularly cosy, snug and comfortable. The moisture-regulating organic cotton of the pillowcase supplied is easy to care for and machine washable. This natural material is also thermo-regulating so that the child does not start sweating at night. The pillow comes in a handy format and its size of 25 x 50 cm is ideally suited to the needs of toddlers and children up to 6 years of age. Knerst has also taken care to use hypoallergenic and particularly skin-friendly materials in the manufacture of the children’s pillow. The children’s pillow has also made a very good impression in terms of the sustainability of the packaging . This allergy pillow is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, vegan, CO²-neutral and packaged plastic-free. In addition to the pillowcase, a practical storage bag made from organic cotton is also included. The 100 sample nights offered by Knerst when purchasing this children’s pillow ensure that there is no risk involved in the purchase and guarantee customer satisfaction. All in all, the ergonomic children’s pillow is definitely a highly recommended product.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The children’s cushion from KNERST arrived in a very sturdy cardboard box from the manufacturer, packed very compactly. Amazon only included the typical Amazon paper envelope with the shipping information. The box was undamaged and easy to open without any tools. The product was packed very compactly inside. In the box, the children’s pillow was already in the pillowcase provided and in a practical storage bag made of organic cotton, which also offers additional protection during transport. The product was therefore fully protected in this case. The children’s pillow arrived in perfect condition, made a very good first impression and could be used straight away without any further effort.
The packaging of the ergonomic children’s pillow is completely recyclable, CO2-neutral, vegan and plastic-free. The manufacturer promises that it is manufactured in Europe to the appropriate standards.

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The ergonomic children’s pillow was supplied with both an organic cotton pillowcase and a practical cotton storage bag . As the pillow arrived already in the pillowcase, it could be used straight away without any major effort after a brief airing. Care instructions and tips for use are only printed directly on the packaging and are not included in the flyer supplied. Duplication of this information would be helpful and desirable, as not all customers may wish to keep the box. The instructions and tips for use on the box are understandable and written in German, although there are a few spelling and grammatical errors. The most important care instructions can also be found directly on the product, but the washing symbol does not include the recommended number of degrees, which is precisely stated as 30 degrees on the packaging. The complete contact information with address, telephone number, e-mail and web address of the company is also only given on the packaging box and not on the flyer. All in all, this is a compact, sustainable and generally very customer-friendly way of sending a product. Only the information on the use and care of the product and the contact information could be improved. An additional imprint in the flyer would be desirable so that the packaging box does not have to be kept forever, but can also be reused as a gift box or shipping packaging, for example. We did not consider a simple “Congratulations” and “Thank you” on the flyer to be sufficient.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

The children’s pillow is clean and carefully finished. The pillowcase has a natural design with an unobtrusive floral pattern on unbleached organic cotton. If required, it can of course be replaced at any time without any problems, as the pillow is a standard size for children’s pillows. The children’s pillow and the cover are very carefully made and are therefore certainly tear-resistant, stable and durable. The fine seams make it particularly soft and pleasant on the skin. The product is manufactured in accordance with OEKO-TEX standards and certified accordingly. It is fragrant, and the castor oil added by the manufacturer also neutralises odours and has an antibacterial effect. With this certified “climate-neutral product”, all CO2 emissions are offset by a certified climate protection project, making it completely CO2-neutral . The Knerst children’s pillow is also a vegan product.

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

The ergonomic children’s pillow from KNERST always lives up to its promise. Thanks to the soft and adaptive CosyPUR gel foam, which adapts to the shape of the child’s head and relieves pressure on the spine, it is very cosy and comfortable. It therefore provides maximum sleeping comfort and isideal for helping children to get a peaceful, restful and healthy night’s sleep. Children who are lucky enough to have a pillow like this will love it. The flat, rectangular children’s pillow, measuring 25 x 50 cm, is optimally adapted to the needs of toddlers and children up to 6 years of age and is very suitable for a wide variety of sleeping positions. It also allows night-time changes of sleeping position, which often occur with many children. This children’s pillow is also ideal for side sleepers. This pillow is also suitable for older children and is also available from Knerst in a larger version if required. The natural, unbleached organic cotton material used in its manufacture is easy to care for, machine washable, gentle on the skin and thermo-regulating. This means that the child does not start sweating at night and there is no need to worry about children’s sensitive skin reacting to the material. All in all, a very sustainable, healthy and highly recommended product.

ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the ergonomic children’s pillow from KNERST an average rating of 4.3 stars. One criticism is that the cushion cover allegedly shrinks when washed. However, these customers may not have followed the care instructions carefully. It survived our wash test at 40 degrees very well. Many customers like the fact that the product is particularly soft, cosy and cuddly and that children sleep very well on this pillow. Children’s sleep has improved noticeably for many customers after switching to this pillow. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that it delivers what it promises. The sleeping comfort is particularly good and it does not cause any skin irritation, even when used without prior washing.

Prices of up to €69.00 are charged on the internet for equivalent cushions in this size. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €25.99. The ergonomic children’s pillow from KNERST is currently priced at €39.99, which puts it in the middle price segment. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services you get.
