A Pillow Shaped Around the Way You Actually Sleep
When you sleep on your side, your shoulder lifts your head away from the mattress. A flat, worn-out pillow leaves a gap, so your neck bends down all night. This contoured memory foam pillow fills that gap: a raised edge supports the neck, a dip cradles the head and a shoulder zone gives your shoulder room, so you wake up feeling straight instead of stiff.
The side-sleeper problem
What side sleepers look for in a pillow
How it is designed
Different zones for different jobs
Most pillows have the same density everywhere. This one is shaped in zones, each made for the pressure points of side sleeping.
- Neck support zone: a raised, firmer edge that fills the gap under your neck.
- Shoulder area: a shaped area that takes the pressure off the shoulder you lie on and balances the upper body.
- Soft facial area: a softer surface that cushions your face and follows the shape of your head.
- Ergonomic contour: the butterfly shape, with raised side edges and a lower centre, cradles head and neck.
Medium-firm
Not too hard, not too soft
The pillow has a medium-firm feel. It is firm enough that your head does not sink too far, and soft enough to mould to the shape of your head and neck.
The core is high-density memory foam. It reacts to body heat and pressure, so it slowly shapes itself around you, and then returns to its form when you get up.
Three zones
Neck, shoulder and face, each supported differently
The neck support area keeps the neck at the right height, the shoulder area gives your lower shoulder space, and the soft facial area keeps your face comfortable when you lie on your side.
Side and back
Comfortable when you change position
The pillow is shaped mainly for side sleeping and works well when you lie on your back too, so it suits people who turn during the night.
If you sleep mostly on your stomach, a thinner pillow is usually the more comfortable choice.
Built to last
High-density foam that keeps its shape
Standard memory foam can flatten after months of nightly use. This pillow uses high-density memory foam, which resists compression better, so the support stays where it should for longer. Like all foam, it may soften a little with long use.

Care
Easy to keep fresh
1. Remove the cover
The breathable polyester cover zips off.
2. Wash it gently
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. No bleach and no fabric softener.
3. Dry on low
Tumble dry on a low temperature or let it air dry.
4. Spot clean the foam
Never machine wash the foam core. Wipe it with a damp cloth if needed and let it dry completely before putting the cover back on.
Questions people ask
What makes it different from a regular pillow?
The butterfly contour has raised side edges and a lower centre. It fills the space between your head and the mattress when you lie on your side, so your neck is supported at the right height.
How high should a side sleeper's pillow be?
Side sleepers usually need a higher pillow than back or stomach sleepers, because the shoulder creates a bigger gap. The raised contour of this pillow is made to fill that gap.
I often wake up with a stiff neck. Is this for me?
Many people who wake up with a stiff neck or sore shoulders switch to a contoured pillow like this one, because it keeps the head and neck in a neutral position and spreads the pressure across the surface instead of one spot.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
Side sleeping is common during pregnancy and the pillow is shaped for it. Ask your doctor if you are unsure whether it suits your situation.
How long does it take to get used to?
A new pillow shape can take a few nights to get used to. Give it some time before deciding.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
The cover is made of materials chosen to keep common irritants low, and you can wash it often to keep the sleeping surface clean.
Will it go flat?
High-density memory foam resists compression better than lower-density foam. Some gradual softening can happen with long use, as with any foam.
