Frequently Asked Questions

What does the dual-height design mean and how do I choose the right side?
The pillow has two sides with different heights — one higher and one lower — allowing you to flip the pillow to the side that best matches your neck length, shoulder width, and preferred sleeping position. Side sleepers typically benefit from the higher side, which fills the space between the shoulder and head more fully. Back sleepers often prefer the lower side for a gentler cervical curve. Try both sides and choose whichever provides the most comfortable, neutral neck alignment.

What is the U-shape designed for?
The U-shaped contour is designed to cradle the head and support the natural inward curve (lordosis) of the cervical spine. The raised edges of the U support the neck on either side, while the center accommodates the head — helping to maintain proper spinal alignment during sleep and reducing the muscle tension that causes neck cramps and morning stiffness.

How do I wash the cover?
Remove the cover from the foam insert and machine wash in warm water with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not wash the polyurethane foam insert — spot clean only with a damp cloth if needed. Reattach the cover once fully dry before use.

Is this pillow suitable for stomach sleepers?
Cervical contour pillows like this one are generally designed for side and back sleepers. Stomach sleeping is not recommended by most healthcare providers as it places the neck in a rotated position for extended periods, which can increase cervical strain regardless of pillow type. If you are a stomach sleeper experiencing neck pain, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on sleep positioning and appropriate pillow support.
