Mimos® 3D air spacer baby pillow for flat head prevention

3D spacer fabric, the new revolutionary textile

The main properties of knitted spacer fabrics are:

  • good distribution of pressure peaks. Millions of microfilaments act as miniatures pressure relieve springs.
  • dispersion of air and moisture. Liquid and air pass through the upper surface and the microfilaments helps to transport liquid away, as well as allowing for the flow of air.
  • easy washable and dryable.
  • recyclable and non-poisonous.

Spacer fabric is soft and flexible

Why Mimos Pillow is Very Effective?

MIMOS PILLOW support baby’s soft skull during sleeping or when baby is laying on a hard or flat surface such as mattress or in a stroller. The pillow adapts to any head shape and therefore is not necessary to counter-rotate or reposition the head as usually recommended by doctors before the existence of MIMOSPILLOW.

As long as the head rests on the pillow cavity, the pressure spots are eliminated and the head can be round out.

MIMOS PILLOW redistributes the weight of baby’s head onto a bigger surface area therefore it will avoid constant high pressure spot that produce skull flattening over time.

  • 400% more surface area of contact
  • effective in reducing and redistributing pressure
  • Head shape well preserved

Mapping of the surface area of contact between a 5 months old baby's head using Mimos pillow (picture left) and a standard mattress (picture right)

There is 400% more surface area of contact in the case of the Mimos baby pillow compared to a standard mattress. Mimos baby pillow effectively reduces pressure on the baby's head and it is good for prevention of flat head syndrome (positional plagiocephaly).

Mimos Pillow also effectively preserves the normal head shape (balloon demonstration). On the other hand the high pressure on the standard mattress produces flat spot.

MIMOS PILLOW is the only medical pillow with safety certification from established certification body in the world;

  • Airflow Safety - Anti Suffocation TUV Certification

MIMOS PILLOW Comparison Table 

Flat Head Syndrome

What is Flat Head (Positional Skull Deformities)

is the flattening of one or both sides of the head due to constant pressure on the skull.

It happens very quickly, especially in the first 3 months of life when the skull is still malleable and the head and brain are growing very fast.

During this time, baby spends long hours sleeping and lying on his back.

If baby’s head stays in the same position for long periods of time, with specific areas lying against a flat surface, then those parts of his skull may become flattened.

The positioning of the baby’s head is one of the main reasons for the appearance of these deformities

What causes a Flat Head?

Constant Positioning
When babies lying on their back with their head stay or turn to the same position constantly. E.g. in a pram, car seat, baby rocker, swing or activity mat.

Premature Baby

The skull of the premature infant is softer than a full term born baby.
They are more prone to positional plagiocephaly since they spend most of the time on their backs without being moved or picked up due to their medical needs and extreme fragility after birth. 

Tortociolis (Wryneck)

is a "twisted neck”, a condition when the head is tilted to one side while the chin is turned to the other side. It is also called wryneck.

The symptom can be detected during first 2-4 weeks.

Multiple Births

Crowded room condition limit the movement on babies resulted in the same position for long.
What does a Flat Head look like?

Why is it a Problem?

In recent years, clinical studies have been done to investigate what long term effects might be associated with a diagnosis of head flattening and/or torticollis. More studies are being done to get more data and information, but current literature gives evidence that infant with plagiocephaly and/or torticollis may have other associated problems such as:

  • A high risk for learning delays and developmental delay
  • Increased need for special services when the child reaches school age
  • Orthodontic and TMJ issues
  • Scoliosis
  • Visual disturbances including visual field defects, and astigmatism
  • Auditory problems
  • Psychological/social issues

Facial Asymmetry and Skull Shape Deformation

If baby flat head (deformational plagiocephaly) is not corrected early these undesirable craniofacial characteristics may grow into adulthood.

In the moderate to severe cases, there may be

  • Eyes and ear misalignment
  • One cheek appears fuller than the other
  • Forehead on the affected side is protruding

Does it Affect Brain Development?

An important study by Speltz and Collett, published in 2010 concluded that “Deformational plagiocephaly seems to be associated with early neurodevelopmental disadvantage, which is most evident in motor functions” This was followed up with their most recent study, which was published 2011 in July that stated ‘Toddlers with deformational plagiocephaly continue to exhibit developmental delays relative to toddlers without deformational plagiocephaly’.
