Contoured Memory Foam Pillow – Neck Support, Side Bolsters, Washable Cover

The problem

For side, back and combination sleepers who are tired of waking up stiff

Ordinary pillows are often filled with microfibre or other soft materials that tend to fall flat when you lie on them. You know, like those hotel pillows you need three or four of just to feel supported.

And the standard pillow shape isn't made for the natural line of your spine, neck and head. A back sleeper needs a pillow that slopes up gradually. A side sleeper needs one that is higher in the front and slightly lower in the back, to fit the shape your shoulder and head make together. Some pillows suit side sleepers and others suit back sleepers, but rarely does one pillow suit both.

How it works

The “weirdly” shaped pillow

The contoured shape is made to keep side, back and stomach sleepers aligned, and every combination of them.

• Center contour: keeps your head and neck in line when you're on your back or stomach.
• Raised side bolsters: fill your shoulder gap when you sleep on your side.
• Front-to-back slope: the back gradually slopes down to follow the natural curve of your head and neck.
• Roll from one to the other: if you sleep on your back and your side, roll from a side bolster to the center contour and stay aligned in either position.

Key features

It's not just about the shape

Fibre or down would not hold the shape, so the pillow is made of high-density memory foam, for a balance of comfort and support.

• Not too hard: it doesn't press on your ear.
• Not too soft: it keeps holding up your neck.
• Not too hot: a cooling bamboo cover sits over the foam.
• Just right: firm enough to hold your head in place, soft enough to sink into.

Care

A cooling bamboo cover that comes off for washing

The cover is woven from soft, cooling bamboo rayon that helps you stay cool through the night. It comes off for washing, so keeping your pillow fresh is simple.

• Cover: machine wash cold with like colours on a gentle or delicate cycle. No bleach or harsh detergents. Line dry only and let it dry completely before use. Do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean.
• Foam core: do not wash. If needed, spot clean gently with a soft sponge and a little mild detergent and water. Do not wring the foam. Blot with a dry cloth and let it air dry completely.

Questions people ask

I'm a side sleeper. Will this work for me?

Yes. The pillow is designed with side sleepers in mind. The raised sides are shaped to fit your shoulder gap, and the pillow slopes down toward the back to follow the natural angle of your head and neck.

How is it different from other neck pillows?

The contour keeps your head in place and supports your neck both from side to side and from front to back. It also has no “wings” on the sides. Wings get in the way and leave the sides unusable to sleep on, so those pillows offer only one height. Here, both the center and the side bolsters are made to sleep on, which suits people who change position during the night.

Which size should I get?

For most sleepers, Standard works best. If you are on the taller side (above 6 ft 2 in, 188 cm) or have a wider shoulder gap, choose Thick.

What is in the Comfort Bundle?

The pillow plus a pillow protector that zips over it, with a stain-repellent finish and a waterproof lining.

How much does it weigh?

Both heights weigh about 3 lb (1.4 kg).
