Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best pillow for front sleepers?

Front (stomach) sleepers usually need a softer, lower pillow so the neck is not forced up. A low, shaped face pillow with sloped sides lets you breathe without turning the head as hard as on a thick hotel pillow.

Browse pillows and cushions

Why do front sleepers need a different pillow?

High loft pillows push the head back when you lie face-down, which many front sleepers feel as neck and upper-back strain by morning.

Is a face pillow the same as a soft front-sleeper pillow?

Yes in shopper language — "face pillow", "front sleeper pillow" and soft low-profile pillows all target the same need: room for the face and less height under the cheek.

Will this help neck strain from stomach sleeping?

By lowering loft and giving the face space, many front sleepers report less twisting through the neck; results vary and it is a comfort product, not a medical treatment.

How should I wash the cover?

Use the care label on the cover — most removable covers are machine-washable on a gentle cycle; air dry where instructed.

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.

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.

Who is this pillow suitable for?

This pillow is designed for people who prefer sleeping on their stomach. The thin shape allows the head to rest in a comfortable position while face down.

Why is the pillow thinner than a standard pillow?

Stomach sleepers often prefer a thinner pillow to keep the head closer to the mattress and maintain a comfortable sleeping angle.

Can the pillow cover be washed?

Yes. The cotton cover can be removed and machine washed according to the care instructions.

Does the pillow allow comfortable breathing?

The pillow includes sloped sides and ventilation channels designed to help airflow when resting on either side of the face.

Where is the pillow made?

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

How thin is it compared with a normal pillow?

It is 9 cm deep, 36 cm wide and 35 cm long: a small, low square rather than a standard 50 × 75 cm pillow. That low profile is the point. Lying face down on a full-height pillow tilts the head back; this one keeps your head close to the mattress and your neck closer to level.

Is it memory foam, and how firm is it?

It is a shaped supportive foam pillow with a removable cotton cover, not memory foam or hollowfibre. The maker lists it as supportive foam rather than giving a soft or firm rating; foam holds its low shape through the night instead of flattening like a soft fibre pillow, which is what keeps the height consistent for front sleeping.

Does it have a hole for my face?

No. Instead of a cut-out it has a convex top with sloped sides and air channels, so with your head turned slightly to either side your nose and mouth are clear of the pillow. A cut-out suits lying perfectly flat on the front, as on a massage couch; this shape is for sleeping with the head turned a little to one side.

Can I use my own pillowcase?

Yes. Putnams supplies it with a fitted, removable pure cotton jersey cover and suggests using it inside a normal pillowcase. At 36 × 35 cm it sits loosely inside a standard case; fold the spare fabric underneath.

What else helps when sleeping on your front?

Front-sleeper guides usually suggest a thin pillow, a mattress that does not sag, and a slim cushion under the hips or lower stomach to reduce the arch in the lower back. Swapping which way your head turns from night to night also spreads the strain. These are general comfort tips, not medical advice.

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.
