A pillow should keep your neck in line with the rest of your spine. The right height depends on how you lie, and on how firm the mattress already is. A soft mattress lets the shoulder sink, so you need less pillow. A firm mattress needs a bit more.
By sleep position
- Side sleeping. The gap between your ear and the mattress is the widest. A higher pillow, or a contour shape, fills it. The Neck O Guard is a 100% memory-foam contour pillow with raised edges. The Memo Guard is a straight memory-foam pillow, 60 x 40 x 12 cm.
- Back sleeping. A medium pillow is usually enough. Too high pushes the chin toward the chest. Memo Guard and the softer fibre pillows both work here.
- Stomach sleeping. Use a low pillow, or none. A high pillow bends the neck back.
Fill and cover
The 5 Star is a microfiber pillow with a cotton cover. It is the hotel-style soft option and it can be machine washed. Miami Gold is a plush everyday pillow. Memory foam (Memo Guard and Neck O Guard) holds its shape and does not need fluffing. Fibre pillows feel lighter and are simpler to wash.
See every option in the pillow collection. If you are also changing the mattress, pick the pillow after the mattress, not before. Firmness changes how much height you need.
