Customer reviews
Here are some comments from users of this baby pillow:
“I am currently using Mimos pillow, and I find it great. For some reason, it prevents my daughter from sleeping on her side. She is five months, quite active, so she moves around a lot, and I was worried she might not be safe, but I tried to breathe through it, and it was breathable. I don’t worry about being in the crib with her all the time. It arrived quickly, been using it for one month and I think her head is slightly rounder” - Bessie, Bloomington
“My child had quite a flat head, so we decided to try this to make this better, and that’s why we tried this pillow. It is horrible and a waste of money. The only cure for PT is tummy time and a customized helmet which is molded and carved weekly to re-sculpt the skull. After three months of weekly trips to correct his head. After one year, the doctor was happy with the results. Don’t buy this, save money and invest in a good physical therapist” - Thelma Lancaster
“My son has tight neck muscles and we were referred to a local physiotherapist. After a couple of visits he suggested we use a hat and keep going for physiotherapy. I read that this might be able to help but I’m worried because it doesn’t seem to be available here and the only source of information is online which seems to have mixed review. If my doctor recommended it, I think I would try it out but until then, I’m not sure I would try this product on my son.” - Randy Chase
“My daughter’s head is a bit cone shaped. We hoped that this would get better, but it only got worse. We put her on her back; tummy time didn’t help at all! From the photos I saw online, she has brachycephaly, and after doing some research, I thought to get a helmet when she was four months. Insurance didn’t cover the helmet, and it cost over $3000, and it needed to be work for 20 hours or more. I considered this option, but I also wanted to see what other solutions were there. I found this pillow online, and most of the reviewers said they could see a change after two months so thought to give it a try. I tried this sleeping pad, and the effect was evident! I’m happy to see it works; the pillow is worth the money. You have to be consistent with it though and use it all the time. It does work!” - Betty Milburn
“It helped my baby from getting a flat head. At about four months he started getting a flat head at the back, so I decided to buy this pillow to see if it would help. I got an XXL size, and it worked! It fits him perfectly since his head is quite big for his age and I’m not worried when he rolls on his tummy because he can breathe. It’s a bit pricey but worth it for my son!” - Dolores
“I recommend this product for every parent. My son had a neck problem making it hard to turn his neck, and he had a spot on his skull. We got a recommendation from a doctor for him to try a helmet and it cost so much that we started looking around for other options. I did some looking and found this pillow. I got it, put my face on it and tried to breathe, and it worked! So we started using it immediately, and within one month, we noticed it became rounder. Look for the ideal size though, it helps.” - Elise
“We purchased this pillow about our pediatrician said our child’s head is too flat for three months of age. So we went to buy anything that could help to correct this. I read about this pillow online and decided to give it a shot. A month down the line, we haven’t seen any difference. It’s very expensive and yet it’s like any other pillow. It does have a dent in the middle, but we expected to see faster results. It great that it’s breathable, so the baby doesn’t get smothered but does this make it more than ten times the cost of a pillow? It is unfortunate that the policy says you can’t return it if not satisfied but there should be some consideration that not everyone finds the product useful.” - Robin Deniels
