Collection: Pillows

Which pillow suits how you sleep?

The right pillow depends entirely on your sleep position, since it needs to keep your neck aligned with your spine. A side sleeper needs a firm, high side sleeper pillow — a memory foam pillow or bed pillow to fill the gap between the shoulder and the head. A back sleeper wants a medium pillow that supports the neck's curve without pushing the head forward. A stomach sleeper needs a soft, flat pillow so the neck isn't cranked up. And a combination sleeper suits an adjustable pillow. Work out your main sleep position, and the height and firmness follow — the wrong pillow causes neck pain no mattress can fix.

What pillow fill should you choose?

The fill sets the support and feel. Memory foam moulds to your head and neck for consistent support, holding its shape and easing neck pain, though it sleeps warmer. Bamboo and shredded foam pillows are adjustable and breathable, often letting you remove fill to set the height. Down and feather is soft and mouldable but offers less support and can trigger allergies. Microfibre is soft, budget-friendly and washable. Match the fill to whether you want firm consistent support, adjustable height, or a soft traditional feel.

How firm and high should a pillow be?

Firmness and height follow your sleep position and body. Side sleepers need the highest, firmest pillow to fill the wide gap at the shoulder. Back sleepers need medium height and firmness to cradle the neck. Stomach sleepers need the lowest, softest. A broad-shouldered person needs more height than a smaller one. The test is simple: lying in your usual position, your head and neck should stay level with your spine, not tilted up or dropping down. An adjustable pillow lets you fine-tune the height to get this right.

What we'd tell a friend before they buy a pillow

Here's what matters most. The pillow has to match your sleep position — a side sleeper on a flat pillow, or a stomach sleeper on a high one, wakes with neck pain no mattress can fix, so buy for how you sleep. Memory foam gives the most consistent support; adjustable fill lets you dial in the height. Replace pillows every couple of years, since they flatten and harbour dust mites. And use a protector to keep them fresh. Buy on your sleep position first, then the fill.

FAQs – get the answers you need

What pillow suits a side sleeper?
A firm, high pillow that fills the gap between the shoulder and head, keeping the neck level with the spine. Memory foam or an adjustable pillow works well.

What pillow suits a stomach sleeper?
A soft, flat pillow, so the neck isn't cranked upward. Stomach sleepers need the lowest profile to keep the spine aligned.

Which pillow fill is best?
Memory foam gives consistent support and eases neck pain; adjustable bamboo or shredded foam lets you set the height; down is soft but less supportive. It depends on your needs.

How often should I replace pillows?
Every couple of years. Pillows flatten, lose support and harbour dust mites over time. A protector keeps them fresher for longer.

How do I know if a pillow is the right height?
Lying in your usual sleep position, your head and neck should stay level with your spine, not tilted up or dropping down. Adjust or choose a different height if not.
