The soft mesh fabric allows water and air to flow so that mould won’t be an issue. However, it does still need to dry completely between uses, and there’s a hanging loop to make that easy.Lastly, its plastic construction may be less prone to mold and mildew thanks to its smooth, non-porous surface. We used one of those baby shaped sponges for ours. I couldn't work out how to hold them with one hand and bathe with the other. Found it easier to lie them on the sponge, in a shallow bath, and then had two hands free.” (Type of pillow recommended by Mumsnet user BiscuitTea)

We know all too well the importance of getting a product that's right for you, particularly when you're wanting to buy something to help you relax and make the day easier. We focused on the softness, breathability and comfort of each of the bath pillows to ensure all our suggestions will bring a touch of luxury to your bath time and allow you to lounge for longer. Here's how we whittled our list of the top bath pillows down to just 10. Products tried and tested by real Mumsnet users Breathability: Breathable materials should be used for bath pillows as air and water can flow through them more easily. This feature will prevent the build-up of mould and bacteria, which will irritate your skin, smell unpleasant and discolour the pillow. Look for mesh outer covers and the mention of 3D or even 5D fabric in product descriptions. Most bath pillows should be relatively easy to install and store, but the product’s overall design and construction can really affect how convenient using it is. Once you place the bath pillow in your desired spot, most options come with suction cups to secure it in place. A more secure bath pillow will often feature more suction cups—the OMYSTYLE Full Body Bath Pillow has 21—or suction cups that are larger than average. Most manufacturers recommend that you moisten the suction cup first and then press the suction cup firmly against the tub for a secure grip. If you’re a lover of a long soak in the tub, then bath pillows are a must. Whether cast iron and vintage or plastic and ultra-modern, the edge of your bath will be hard and uncomfortable to lay your head upon. This pillow is perfect for daily use, as it’s durable and long-lasting. Post-bath, simply machine wash the pillow by itself with cold water and air dry using the attached hook. While its cleaning instructions are straightforward, do note that this spa pillow dries somewhat slowly compared to some other options on this list.What makes the perfect bath is a very personal thing. Some of us love the water steaming hot, while others prefer a radiant warmth. There are bath bomb devotees and then there are people who shudder at the thought of scrubbing the glitter from the ceramic afterwards. You’ll find that this bath pillow fits most bathtubs, is easy to transport and, unlike freestanding baby baths, won’t take up room. It is suitable from birth to six months. Pros If the idea of a foam cushion isn’t your idea of the perfect bath pillow, consider the Aquasentials Inflatable Bath Pillow, as this inflatable option uses air instead of traditional filling to keep you comfortable. Because you inflate it yourself, you can adjust how much air you use, which can alter the pillow’s firmness. To inflate, simply blow a bit of air (a few breaths) into the pillow. When you’re finished, dry it off, deflate it, and store it until your next use. While having to inflate the pillow before each use may be inconvenient, we think its ease of storage once deflated makes up for this. Crafted from breathable, 3D Air Mesh fabric so that bathwater continually flows through it, this amazing pillow is kind to even the most sensitive skin. It’s fast-drying too; just be careful when removing the anti-slip suction cups as they will attach firmly to your bath. Pros To keep your bath pillow clean and fresh, it is essential to wash it regularly and find a place to dry it entirely between each use. Leaving it propped up against the tiles isn’t a great idea for storage as the air needs to circulate around the pillow freely.
