7 reasons 50,000 parents got their nights back with this pediatric-designed pillow (and so can you)

All I wanted was a night where I could sleep in peace as a parent. That's it.

Honestly I thought, "It's JUST a pillow"

Six weeks later, I realized it wasn't.

  1. 1.Designed by a Pediatrician

    Dr. Sarah Chen spent 13 years telling parents to fix the routine, the environment, the behavior.

    Then her own daughter started waking in the night, and none of her own advice worked.

    After 3 months of trying everything, she decided to test the one variable nobody had tested.

    A toddler's airway inside their neck is half the width of an adult's.

    Pinch a drinking straw halfway shut and you lose nearly all your air, not half, and that is what a small tilt of the neck does to a toddler.

    Their body stirs them just enough to open it back up, over and over, all night.

    From the outside they look asleep, but they never reach deep sleep.

    She knew all of this already.

    What she had never done was look under the head.

    So she built a prototype in her garage and tested it on 47 toddlers.

    41 of them went from waking an average of 3.1 times a night to 1.1, within 6 weeks, without changing anything but the pillow.

  2. 2.Their Airway Is Supported in Every Position

    Even if a normal pillow gives you the perfect angle when you lay them down, the second they roll, that angle is gone.

    The pillow stays where it is and their neck does not.

    So getting the height right once is not the same as getting it right all night, which is why the Ukola Toddler Pillow changes the support as they move, with a lower middle for when they are on their back and raised sides for when they roll.

  3. 3.The Pillow Stays the Same Shape All Night

    The tubing inside springs back instead of holding the dent their head left.

    At 3am it's still the same shape it was at 7pm.

    I used to find them on the hard, flattened part of their old pillow every morning, but that doesn't happen anymore.

  4. 4.Sized for Toddlers, Not Shrunk from Adult

    Top-down view of a boy breathing freely on the contoured toddler pillow

    It's 19.7 by 11.8 inches, and 1.5 inches high, about two of my fingers stacked.

    The shoulder contour gives their shoulders somewhere to go instead of pushing their head forward.

    It's sized deliberately for a toddler, not an adult pillow shrunk down, so their whole body actually fits.

    See it here.

  5. 5.Breathes on Both Sides So They Stay Cool

    Both sides breathe, so their head doesn't get damp and they don't wake up hot.

    I used to flip their old pillow over at midnight because the first side was soaked, but I haven't had to do that in four months.

  6. 6.One Solid Piece, Top Safety Rating

    Infographic of the pillow's cotton cover, anti-bacterial fiber and support zones

    It's one solid piece with nothing loose.

    The fiber is INVISTA anti-bacterial, which means what they drool into doesn't build up.

    It's rated Class A for safety, the same grade used for baby clothing, with no fluorescent whitening agents.

    It has a 100% cotton cover that I wash every two weeks, and it's still the same.

  7. 7.Fits Toddler to Kindergarten, Bought Once

    Three children of different ages holding Ukola toddler pillows

    This fits from 18 months to 5 years, which means you buy it once instead of replacing it every six months.

    I spent $1,200 on an 8 week toddler sleep program.

    White noise was $120.

    Curtains were $90.

    None of them worked.

    This pediatric-designed pillow is $74.95.

    They wake once or twice now and go back down on their own in less than 3 minutes.

    I'm not here to promise a magic wand.

    However one thing is clear and they don't need me anymore as they used to.
