I LOVE my Bed Bumper for Big Kids

When I checked on my son the other night, I was soooo thankful that I had created these bumpers.  After all, he is a wild sleeper.  I just had to snap a picture to show everyone exactly how useful they are.  My son had managed to turn himself completely sideways, jamming his head up against what would have been a hard wall.

Our Bed Bumpers for Big Kids are made of 100% cotton with a thick polyester non-allergenic fill creating the soft and safe buffer for your child.

In addition, during colder months, it actually prevents a child’s body from resting up against a cold wall.  We especially appreciate that up here in New England.

We had originally created these bumpers for our own two boys just over two years ago.  We had been concerned about all the tossing & turning they were doing, and all the banging and bumping we could hear during the night.  At least one of them would wake up from this several times each week.  I had to come up with something to help.

The Bed Bumper for Big Kids was then born.  It works on any clean painted wall, best used where your child’s bedside runs along the wall.  It will help them sleep safely through the night, comfy and cozy.

If you are still confused about how they work, check out this video on how to actually mount the bumper on your child’s wall.

Don’t forget to pass this on and enter as many times as you like.

Sleep well!

Bed Bumpers for Big Kids

Bed Bumpers for Big Kids

A fairly new and unique product is our exclusive Bed Bumper for Big Kids.  I am certain that you will agree that these bumpers are fantastic!  Here are a few qualities that I think you will appreciate…

 

 

 

  • Fit alongside twin or full size bed, safely adhering to wall
  • Prevent bumping into the wall during normal sleep time tossing and turning
  • Buffer a chilly wall
  • Removeable
  • Washable
  • Fun!

As a Mom, I used to be very concerned within moments of each of my boys falling asleep.  They were (and still are) very active while they sleep.  They toss and turn like crazy.  Having somewhat small rooms, we have always pushed their bedsides against the wall, also preventing them from falling out on that side, while having a bed rail on the open side.  The issue was that they were continually banging into the wall.  They would often wake up crying because of it. 

Another concern was the temperature of the wall.  At the time, it was winter in New England so our walls get pretty chilly.  It was very concerning to my Husband and I that they could rest up against the cold wall while they slept and wake up freezing from it.

I created these Bed Bumpers for Big Kids to eliminate all of our concerns.  They measure the length of the bed at approximately 6 feet long, and 18” wide.  They safely attach to the wall using three stips of hook & loop fasteners.  The bottom of the bumper tucks slightly between the bed and the wall to keep it additionally in place.  I made sure they were thick enough to cushion my wild little sleepers, so they are around an inch thick.  We also use non-allergenic fill so that they are friendlier towards the little ones with allergies.

Now, we have no worries (other than the occasional bed wetting.)  We no longer hear the banging that we used to because it is cushioned.  They no longer wake up at night from banging into the wall.  They no longer get chilly either.  It has been a fantastic creation that I am so proud to share with other parents.

Our job is to make our kids more comfortable, secure and happy.  With this new product you can add another layer of protection and comfort to what you’ve already worked at with all of your heart.

Benefits of Toddler Size Pillows

October 6, 2008 · Posted in Toddler Bedding, Toddler Sleep Safety · 1 Comment 
Toddler size pillows are a fantastic alternative to an adult size standard pillow when it comes to your child.  After all, a standard pillow is far too large, thick and uncomfortable for a small child between the ages of 2 and 6 years old.  The standard size pillow can cause neck and shoulder misalignment leading to pain or future problems.  The smaller toddler size pillow, also known as a travel pillow, is more proportionate to a child’s size, therefore more supportive.

The measurements of a toddler size travel pillow is normally 12″ x 16″, and at Kidz Comfort comes with a stylish pillow case that fits just right.  The pillows can be used at home in their own bed, at daycare, preschool or Kindergarten for nap time or in the car for those long trips and vacations.  They all have a 100% cotton fabric pillow case and a non-allergenic fill to help with those allergies that seem to be popping up more and more with children.

Obviously, you should never use a pillow with an infant, or even on a toddler until they are at least 2 years old and are past the point of the risk of SIDS.

My kids love these pillows because they are the perfect size to snuggle up with when they are going to bed or taking their naps at school.  Wouldn’t you rest better knowing that your child was more comfortable?  After all, kids don’t always know how to communicate that something is not comfortable.  Take care of it before it becomes an issue and buy today at Kidz Comfort.

Sleep Well!
