with us the pillow serves as a failure protection for the high bed. Our loft bed has a surrounding wooden frame of 20cm height (measured from the top mattress). With the pads of this protection is increased by 25 cm and this is then perfectly adequate. In the evening, the pad is then placed in front of the entrance stairs and protect the little one before the fall out. The pillow makes a stable and high-quality impression. The cover has a nice bright color. We can highly recommend it.
