Bundle & save

Pillows only. A separate cover is not included.

A little more thought went into the pillow they rest on every night. The Moonstead Kids Pillow has a gently recessed center that gives their head a place to settle, with a soft, quilted surface that feels cozy from the moment they lie down.

Choose between two heights to suit your child. The lower profile is recommended for ages 3–8, and the higher profile for ages 8–18. If your child is 8 and between the two, use their current pillow as a starting point: do they prefer it flatter or a little higher?

Start with a Single for $59.99, or get a same-size Duo for $109.99 and save $9.99 compared with buying two separately. Keep one at home and one at Grandma’s, or set up two beds with the same familiar pillow.

What comes with my order?

Your selected bundle includes one, two, or three pillows. Separate covers are not included.

Which age range should I choose?

Ages 3–8 Sits closer to the mattress.

Ages 8–18 Sits a little higher off the mattress.

Is this for babies or cribs?
