What is Plagiocephaly?
Plagiocephaly is the most common craniofacial condition in babies. It's characterized by an asymmetrical shape of the skull, where one part of the head is flattened or shifted to one side. Plagiocephaly can have various causes, such as a baby's preference for a particular sleeping position or certain physical factors.
Why choose Mimos Pillows?
Mimos pillows are recommended worldwide by doctors, pediatricians, neurosurgeons, and pediatric physiotherapists. They are made of lightweight, breathable material to improve airflow, ensuring your baby can sleep comfortably and safely.
The pillows are medically certified baby pillows specifically designed to prevent and correct the symptoms of Plagiocephaly, Scaphocephaly, and Brachycephaly (flat head syndrome) during the first months of a baby's life. They meet strict conditions and hold various certificates to comply with all regulations.
No repositioning required
The Mimos Pillow provides even pressure distribution through the unique cavity holder. This allows the skull to have enough space to naturally regain its shape in any position.

Experts about Mimos
As a pediatric osteopath, I highly recommend the Mimos pillow for babies with plagiocephaly or a flat head. In just a few weeks, this pillow can make a significant difference. It's a product we recommend to parents of babies with a flat head on a daily basis, and we've even mentioned it in our book, Cherished Baby and Child.
As an experienced pediatrician, I recommend the Mimos pillow for children with plagiocephaly. It reduces pressure on the skull and reportedly improves skull shape more quickly than without intervention. Since the NHS currently cannot support the purchase of expensive helmets, I prefer to recommend this affordable product.
The Mimos pillow is well-designed. It reduces pressure on the back and sides of the baby's head, and the shape of the pillow helps maintain the baby's neck in a nice position. Additionally, it's made of breathable material, comfortable for the baby and reassuring for the parents.
The Mimos pillow is a convenient, simple, and lightweight tool that parents can use and integrate into their sleep routine. It aids in the natural rounding of the baby's head and contributes to resolving a flat back of the head as quickly as possible.
I highly recommend the Mimos pillow for use, for instance, in a stroller or crib to prevent and improve the flattening of the delicate bone structure of the skull.
We have analyzed a total of 15 different pillow brands on the market, and only the MIMOS® brand pillow appears to be both effective and safe in our assessment.
We are the leading clinic for manual therapy for plagiocephaly/brachycephaly in Herts. We have been recommending Mimos products for quite some time! We use the Craniometer and straps to assess, measure, and monitor improvement in plagiocephaly. We find the combination of the Craniometer and straps absolutely fantastic and easy to use.
I have completed my postgraduate training in specialized osteopathic treatment of children. I regularly see and treat babies with plagiocephaly at my clinic in Reigate. I often recommend adding the pillow to the treatment to achieve the best results. The craniometer is a great tool for objectively measuring progress during treatment.

The Mimos Pillow stands out with its special 32-layer 3D mesh fabric, which ensures continuous air circulation and breathability, making the pillow 100% safe for your baby. This unique material and handcrafted production in Barcelona, Spain, guarantee the highest quality. The Mimos Pillow is the only pillow in the world recognized as a Class 1 medical device and CE certified, made possible by our collaboration with pediatricians and physiotherapists worldwide.
Is my baby too old for the Mimos Pillow?
The Mimos Pillow can help prevent and correct skull deformities, flat head syndrome, or plagiocephaly if the baby's fontanelle is still open, from birth until the baby is 18 months old.
Can we use the Mimos Pillow if our baby turns during sleep?
Absolutely! The Mimos Pillow is designed to allow complete airflow and avoid carbon dioxide rebreathing, making it safe for any baby to sleep on. However, we do advise parents to lay the baby on their back, straight on the pillow for proper positioning during nighttime feedings and other times when they check on the baby.
Are Mimos Pillows suitable for newborns?
Yes, Mimos Pillows are suitable for newborns. They are specially designed to meet the needs of young babies, including newborns. The Mimos Pillow can be used from birth to toddler age. The unique design of the Mimos Pillow provides good support for the newborn's head while also helping to prevent flat spots on the head. The pillow is made of soft and breathable materials, making it comfortable for the sensitive skin of newborns. Using a Mimos Pillow for newborns can be especially useful in reducing pressure on the back of the head, as newborns typically spend more time on their backs. The pillow helps maintain a natural and balanced head shape.
Are Mimos Pillows hypoallergenic?
Yes, Mimos Pillows are hypoallergenic. They are made of high-quality materials carefully selected to minimize allergic reactions. The 3D air mesh material used in the construction of the pillow is breathable and promotes good air circulation, helping to dissipate heat and moisture. This helps create a comfortable and healthy sleep environment for the baby while reducing the risk of allergic reactions. However, it is important to note that every baby is unique and may have individual sensitivities. If your baby has known allergies or sensitive skin, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare provider or allergist before using a Mimos Pillow to ensure that the pillow is suitable for your specific situation.
Can Mimos Pillows be used in strollers?
Yes, Mimos Pillows can be safely used in strollers. The Mimos Pillow in size P is specially designed for use in strollers and provides the right fit and support. The size P pillow is designed to fit perfectly in strollers, providing a comfortable and safe sleeping environment for your baby while on the go. The pillow helps maintain balanced pressure distribution on the head and contributes to preventing flat spots. When using a Mimos Pillow in a stroller, it is important to ensure that the pillow is placed securely and firmly so that it cannot shift during use.
How long does it take to see results when using a Mimos Pillow?
The time it takes to see results when using a Mimos pillow can vary depending on several factors, including individual needs and the severity of your baby's situation. When using a Mimos pillow to prevent or treat flat spots on the head, it may take some time before you notice visible results. The process of restoring the natural shape of the head is gradual and can take several weeks to months.
However, it is important to remember that every child is unique, and results may vary. Some babies may show improvement more quickly, while for others it might take a bit longer.
If you are concerned about the progress or have questions about using the Mimos pillow, it is advisable to contact a healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician or a physical therapist. They can evaluate your baby and provide advice based on your baby's specific situation.
Are Mimos pillows suitable for children with special needs?
Yes, Mimos pillows can be suitable for children with special needs. The pillow is designed to provide support and distribute pressure evenly over the head, regardless of the child's individual needs.
For children with special needs, using a Mimos pillow can offer various benefits. It can help maintain a proper head position, reduce pressure on specific areas, and prevent flat spots on the head. Additionally, the pillow can promote a comfortable sleeping position.
However, it is important to consider the specific needs and medical advice for the child. In some cases, it may be advisable to seek advice from a healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician, physical therapist, or occupational therapist. They can assess the child's situation and make recommendations regarding the use of a Mimos pillow.
It is also essential to always use the pillow under supervision and follow the manufacturer's instructions. This way, you can ensure that the Mimos pillow is used safely and effectively, tailored to the specific needs of the child with special needs.
How long does a Mimos pillow last?
Generally, it is recommended to regularly inspect the Mimos pillow for signs of wear and damage. While there is no fixed expiration date for a Mimos pillow, it is important to replace it if you notice it starting to lose its shape, if there are tears or damage, or if the pillow no longer provides the desired support.
The durability of the pillow can also be influenced by following the proper maintenance instructions. It is also important to remember that babies and children grow quickly, which can change their head size and sleeping needs. This might necessitate switching to a larger size Mimos pillow over time.
Additionally, it is important to note that the Mimos pillow should not be passed on to another baby or child. The pillow is specifically designed to support the shape of an individual baby's head and can adapt to that specific shape. Passing the pillow to another child can result in a loss of optimal support and reduce its effectiveness.
To ensure safety and the best results, we recommend purchasing a new Mimos pillow for each baby or child. This way, you can be sure that the pillow provides the correct fit and support based on the individual needs of each child.
How long should we use a Mimos Pillow for a baby?
The duration of using a Mimos Pillow can vary depending on the individual needs and development of the baby. Generally, the Mimos Pillow is used during the period when the risk of flat spots on the head is highest, usually up to the age of 18-24 months.
It is important to note that every child is unique, and some babies may need to use the pillow for a longer or shorter period, depending on factors such as their sleeping position, motor development, and individual risk factors for flat spots.
It is recommended to regularly check the shape and development of your baby's head. If you notice that flat spots are beginning to improve and the natural rounding of the head is being restored, it may be possible to gradually reduce or stop using the Mimos Pillow.
It is always wise to seek advice from a healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician, physical therapist, or osteopath, to determine the best approach for your baby's specific situation and needs. They can guide you in using the Mimos Pillow and recommend any adjustments based on your baby's progress and development.
