Frequently Asked Questions

Which height side should I use — 4" or 3"?
Side sleepers generally benefit from the higher 4" side, which fills the larger gap between the shoulder and head when lying on your side. Back sleepers typically do better with the lower 3" side, which provides a gentler cervical curve that supports the neck without pushing the head too far forward. If you switch between positions during the night, try the side that best matches your primary sleeping position and adjust based on how you feel in the morning. The goal is a neutral neck position — neither tilted up nor down.

How does heat-sensitive memory foam work?
Heat-sensitive (viscoelastic) memory foam softens and conforms in response to your body heat and the pressure of your head and neck. As you lie on the pillow, the foam gradually molds to your unique contours, distributing pressure evenly and reducing the pressure points that cause stiffness and discomfort. As the foam cools after use, it slowly returns to its original shape. This adaptive quality makes memory foam more effective at providing personalized cervical support than standard foam or fiber-filled pillows.

How do I wash the sherpa cover?
Remove the sherpa cover from the memory foam insert. Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve the sherpa texture and softness. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Do not wash the memory foam insert — spot clean only with a damp cloth if needed. Reattach the cover once fully dry before use.

Is this pillow suitable for post-surgery neck recovery?
The adaptive memory foam and dual-height design make this pillow well-suited for comfort during neck recovery, as it conforms to the neck without placing rigid pressure on sensitive areas. However, always follow your surgeon’s or physical therapist’s specific post-operative positioning instructions — requirements vary by procedure, and a soft orthopedic pillow may not provide the level of immobilization required for certain cervical surgeries or injuries.
