New Travel Pillow Is Just What Your Children Ordered!

After many requests and in honor of Snuggle Wool’s 12th anniversary, there’s a new travel pillow available to soothe your baby, toddler and older children on short or long trips. The adults in the family will want one for the passenger seat, too!

Made of polyester fiberfill which is hypoallergenic, the pillow is 12″ x 16″ and comes with with an innovative case. The pillow case is washable and has wool pile on one side and organic cotton flannel on the other. The flannel side of the case makes a flap to hold the pillow in place. Priced at $34.90 for both pillow and case, the case can also be bought alone to cover a pillow your child already has and doesn’t want to part with.

Like Snugglewool’s other products for baby, the wool is 100 % pure, gently washable lambswool which is 1 inch thick. It’s made from Merino sheep of Australia and New Zealand by Rittenhouse Industries and the wool has been hygienically treated and scoured. This process allows the fibers to withstand numerous washings and drying. Rittenhouse Industries is proud to be a family business which seeks to provide quality products without exploiting the environment. In comparison to sheepskin products, those made of lambswool are easier to wash and dry and no animals are slaughtered in the process. Lambswool also absorbs moisture as well as sheepskin.

The Merino wool on the Travel Pillow’s case has very fine fibers which feel extremely soft to the skin and are unlikely to irritate like some coarser wools. When babies lay directly on lambswool, researchers have found their activity rate is reduced. This produces a more restful, deep sleep which helps baby’s grow faster. The lambswool has a swaddling effect which soothes baby thereby reducing stress and promoting peace and contentment. What parent wouldn’t want a calmer, happier baby or toddler (or teenager for that matter) on a trip!

Remember to think of Snuggle Wool’s travel pillow as a year round “must have” item. Air circulates naturally through fine Merino wool, so baby or toddler will stay dry and cool in the summer as well as warm in winter. Of course, you can use the pillow at home as well. The pillow is available year round for your car trips in the regular wool/organic cotton mix as well as a seasonal print flannel. Don’t leave home without it!
