Description

The Butterfly Pillow is a compact multi-purpose support pillow inspired by traditional Japanese cushion designs. Its small shape makes it easy to position wherever gentle support is needed, whether for the neck during sleep, between the knees when lying on your side, or for additional support while sitting or travelling.

Despite its compact size, the pillow offers comfortable support in many everyday situations. The design allows it to be used as a small neck pillow, lumbar support cushion, knee spacer or travel pillow. Its lightweight size also makes it easy to carry when travelling or staying away from home.

The pillow is available with a choice of natural and synthetic fillings so you can select the feel that suits you best. Each pillow includes a removable 100% cotton cover that can be easily washed for everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who makes this pillow?

Putnams designs specialist support pillows and cushions — this listing is part of that range.

What is it designed to help with?

Each model targets a specific need (neck, knees, elevation, seating). Match the product title and who-it-is-for copy to your sleep or sitting position rather than buying a generic hotel pillow.

How do I choose the right Putnams pillow?

Use our pillow finder or the benefit bullets on this page: pick by body area (neck, knee, back) and position (side, back, sitting).

Are covers washable?

Most Putnams covers are removable and washable — check the care line in the product details for this SKU.

Is it made for everyday home use?

Yes — sizing, fills and covers are specified for everyday home use. Delivery to the United Kingdom is shown at checkout.

When will it arrive?

UK delivery usually takes 2–4 calendar days from ordering, including processing and weekends. Delivery is free on orders of £39 or more, or £5 below that. Check the estimated delivery dates beside the price for this item.

Can I return it?

Contact us within 14 days of delivery, then send the item back within a further 14 days. You pay change-of-mind return postage; we cover return postage for faulty, damaged or incorrect items. See our refund policy for full conditions, including inspection rights, hygiene-seal exceptions and refund timings.

What is the butterfly pillow used for?

This compact pillow can be used in several ways, including as a neck support pillow, a knee spacer while lying on your side, a small lumbar cushion when sitting, or a travel pillow.

Can the pillow be used for travel?

Yes. The pillow’s small size makes it easy to carry in luggage or travel bags, making it suitable for use on trips, holidays or overnight stays.

What fillings are available?

The pillow is available with three filling options: fibre (soft), British wool (medium) and organic buckwheat hulls (firm).

Is the cover removable?

Yes. The pillow includes a removable cotton cover that can be washed according to the care instructions.

Where is the pillow made?

The pillow is manufactured in the United Kingdom using carefully selected materials.

How can the pillow be used during sleep?

The pillow can be placed under the neck, between the knees, or behind the lower back to provide additional support while resting or sleeping.

How do I choose the right neck pillow height?

Back sleepers need 3-4 inch thickness. Side sleepers need 4-5 inches. The goal is neutral spine alignment with your ear aligned over your shoulder. Stomach sleepers should use very thin pillows or none at all.

Research Behind the Design

Study finding

Using a neck support pillow can significantly reduce symptoms of chronic neck pain as a monotherapy, according to research in the Journal of Rheumatology

Public health guidance

Use only one pillow of sufficient thickness to support your neck without bending it. Sleep on your back; if this is uncomfortable, sleep on your side with proper support.
