The KIH Bed Pregnancy Cushion is now in Oxfordshire, with Annette Rainbow, Complementary Therapist..

Normally when I share news of practitioners using the KIH bed, my default is to use the image of the spa or salon, or the pregnancy cushion itself, but Annette’s warmth comes across in such a way that it is clear she is her brand, and her warmth is only complemented by the luxurious wooden cabin that is her purpose-built treatment room.

Annette’s treatment room boasts a warm welcoming fire in winter and an open stable door in summer.  Her comfortable chair is there for talking therapy and a luxurious couch is where she does most of her treatments. Subdued lighting, fluffy blankets, fresh towels and a bank of aromatherapy oils add to the relaxing atmosphere of the room, and of course now the luxurious, 100% soft brushed cotton covered KIH Bed pregnancy cushion to enable her to treat her pregnant clients prone (face down) in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. It used to be the case that you had to treat a pregnant client on her left side to ensure that baby does not put pressure on the inferior vena cava vein, but now that we have a specially designed cushion to add the option to lay prone, it is such a comfortable and safe position to treat mums-to-be.

This firm cushion supports the skeletal structure allowing bump and breasts to comfortably sit inside whilst the cover has been specially designed to support the round ligaments. Designed to encourage correct spinal alignment to relieve pressure on the back whilst firmness of cushion eliminates risk of pressure on the bump whilst being flexible enough to adjust to fit your body.

Annette also offers fertility treatments, hypnobirthing, hypnotherapy and many other wonderful treatments to ensure your optimal wellbeing and you can learn more by visiting her website below:

Actions speak louder than words! The Sleeping Beauty Salon Spa Chain in Scotland have purchased the KIH Bed Pregnancy cushion three times for salons in their Salon chain. Osteopath Caroline Penn purchased for two of her clinics in Herefordshire and Hertfordshire and Melissa Folly Chiropractor purchased a second KIH Bed for her Cheltenham practice following two years of successful use in her Symonds Yat practice..

Sometimes salon owners are a little too busy to give feedback, but who needs feedback when ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS…The Sleeping Beauty Salon Spa Chain in Scotland purchased their third KIH Bed for their Salon chain after successful trials in two other salons. They bought the first one for their Margaret Street Salon in #Inverness. Their second for the Radisson Blu Hotel on the Royal Mile in #Edinburgh six months later. and their third one for the STUNNING Loch Lochy a year after that.

The KIH Bed is available via www.kihproducts.co.uk or via Amazon #KIHBedPregnancyCushion (albeit it is more expensive on Amazon to cover fees)

The KIH Bed Pregnancy Cushion is used worldwide by massage therapists, chiropractors. osteopaths and other professional practitioners, including Caroline Penn who purchased two KIH Beds for her clinics in Herefordshire and Hertfordshire. Caroline Penn D.O., M.Sc., F.S.C.C., P.H.I. is a qualified teacher, involved in teaching osteopathy internationally at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. She established an accredited teacher training programme specifically for osteopaths in 1993. She is a co-founder of The Sutherland Cranial College and a founder Osteopath with the ‘Osteopathic Centre for Children’ (now the ‘Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy’). 

As well as being used to treat clients in a luxury spa setting, and being used by Osteopaths, the KIH Bed is popular with Chiropractors, such as Melissa Folly who purchased her first KIH Bed for her Symonds Yat practice, and then a year or two later expanded to Cheltenham and purchased her second KIH Bed to treat her pregnant clients there.

The KIH Bed has won a couple of awards in its own right including the FHT Highly Commended Excellence in Innovation in 2015 and the Lux Life Hotel and Spa Awards Most Innovative Pregnancy Cushion in 2019.

I designed the KIH Bed in 2011 during my own pregnancy and need to lay on my front & launched in July 2013 following two years of extensive research, professional consultation and health and safety testing to ensure that the KIH Bed Pregnancy Cushion was a safe, saleable product. The KIH Bed is fully compliant with British Standards BS7177, BS5852 and BSEN713.  These tests relate to furniture & fire regulations and also to breathability testing as carried out on cot mattresses.

I am also very proud to offer ACP on KIH Beds – this is for small business owners who need to manage cashflow. ACP is still advance payment, so it does not offer credit, nor does the fee increase for spreading the cost, but, you can start a four week or ten week plan and look forward to receiving your goods once the final payment has been received. I do this because I needed it when I set up, and I would never have had my first ‘professional corporate photo’ had the photographer not allowed me to pay £15 per week instead of finding £150 in one go! There is no risk and no discount helping people build business this way.
