Bid farewell to restless nights and welcome a world of bedtime bliss!
Our curated collection addresses different thicknesses and firmness levels, ensuring an ideal match for every sleep position. Whether you prefer a softer or firmer option, we have the perfect firmness for you.
Choose medium-soft for a plush feel, go for medium-feel for a balanced mix of comfort and support, or opt for medium-firm for robust head and neck support. For those seeking super support, our collection of firm pillows has you covered.
Natural options, such as wool, silk, or feather and down-filled pillows, provide breathability and hypoallergenic benefits. On the synthetic front, microfibre, hollowfibre, and memory foam pillows offer affordability without compromising comfort. Memory foam pillows, made from synthetic foam, offer a denser feel by adjusting to the warmth and weight of your head, ensuring uninterrupted rest.
When choosing a pillow, it's crucial to consider not only your preferred sleeping position but also your specific conditions. There are specially designed options available to address various sleep-related challenges you may encounter, such as asthma, pregnancy, back pain, and even overheating.
Anti-allergy pillows can be a great investment for individuals dealing with allergies, respiratory issues, including asthma, or skin conditions. Cooling pillows are crafted with a specific design to manage body temperature and dissipate heat, making them ideal for individuals who frequently experience warmth during the night or tend to perspire, as well as for those who are pregnant. Memory foam pillows and posturepedic options can be a great choice for side sleepers and those who suffer from neck pain..
Recommended pillows for side sleepers include memory foam or orthopaedic products. Side sleepers risk compromising their spine's natural alignment if their head is positioned too high or too low. Both orthopaedic and memory foam pillows are crafted to provide support to sensitive pressure points on the head, ensuring the neck remains in the ideal position. To achieve the correct height, it is advisable to choose a firm or medium-firm option.
For those who prefer sleeping on their backs, the most suitable pillow is one with a medium comfort grade. This ensures ample support for the head without causing it to be pushed too far forward. Hollowfibre and wool pillows are commonly chosen by back sleepers as they offer a resilient surface that strikes the right balance between softness and support.
If you prefer sleeping on your front, we recommend leaning towards the softer options, such as feather pillows or those with a comfort grade ranging from soft to soft-medium. Unlike side sleepers, it is advised for front sleepers to use either no pillow, or pillows with minimal height to avoid arching the spine backward and causing discomfort.

What is the best pillow?
The 'best' depends on individual preferences, sleeping habits, and specific needs. Factors such as pillow type, material, and firmness play a significant role in determining the ideal choice.
What is the best type of pillow to use?
The 'best type' depends on individual preferences, sleeping habits, and specific needs. Memory foam pillows contour to the shape of your head and neck; down and feather pillows offer a luxurious feel; and synthetic options like microfibre or hollow fibre cater to various preferences. The best pillow aligns with your preferences and promotes a good night's sleep.
How many pillows should I sleep with?
Determining the optimal number of pillows for your sleep routine is crucial. While some use two pillows, it is recommended to stick with one to maintain proper posture. Regardless of your sleeping position, preserving the natural alignment of your spine is essential for comfort throughout the night.
How do I choose the right pillow?
Choosing the 'right' pillow depends on individual preferences, specific needs, and, most importantly, your sleeping position. It's crucial to select one that promotes proper alignment and ensures a restful night's sleep. Choosing the wrong type could lead to discomfort while sleeping or even neck pain and/or a headache in the morning.
How often should I replace my pillows?
We recommend replacing pillows every 2-3 years to ensure proper support, cleanliness, and freedom from allergens. Taking good care of your investment is essential for their longevity.
Can I wash my pillow?
Always refer to the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure you don't inadvertently damage your pillow. In most cases, it is not recommended to wash a pillow in a washing machine, especially if it has a foam or memory foam filling. Washing machines can damage the structure of the pillow and affect its performance. However, many pillows come with removable and machine-washable pillow covers or pillowcases. In such cases, it's a good idea to regularly wash the pillowcases according to the care instructions provided. This helps maintain a clean sleeping environment and prolong the life of your pillow. As for the pillow itself, spot cleaning is often recommended. If the care label on the pillow allows for washing, you may hand wash it gently using mild detergent and cold water.
What is the recommended sleeping position with a regular pillow during pregnancy?
The alterations in pelvic and body structure frequently result in back pain during pregnancy, making it challenging to achieve and maintain sleep. You can alleviate lower back stress by positioning pillows between your knees, under your stomach, and behind your back.
What size is a standard pillow?
It's always a good idea to check the specific measurements provided by the manufacturer when purchasing pillows or pillowcases as there can be variations, and some pillows might differ in dimensions.
Do new pillows always feel stiff?
If your recently purchased pillows feel stiffer than anticipated, it's not uncommon, especially with memory foam pillows. This stiffness is typically attributed to the fibres not having fully softened yet. Simply lying on the pillows helps break them in. With a few days of use, the heat generated during sleep will contribute to softening the pillow, resulting in a more comfortable feel.
