Description
Description
Designed to support the natural curvature of the spine, this D-shaped firm pillow provides targeted pressure relief for the lower back. By maintaining the "S" shape of the lumbar region during rest, it helps alleviate discomfort and promotes healthier spinal alignment for both back and side sleepers.
Handmade in the UK, this specialist support is constructed from a high-resilience firm foam core that retains its shape under pressure, providing consistent orthopaedic support throughout the night.
Key Technical Specifications
- Design: Ergonomic D-shape profile for precise lumbar positioning.
- Core Material: Firm, high-density orthopaedic foam.
- Maintenance: Fully removable and machine-washable fitted cover.
- Dimensions: W 60cm x L 20cm x H 5.5cm (Maximum dimensions).
- Manufacturing: Handmade in the UK.
Clinical Benefits
This lumbar support is specifically engineered to assist with:
- Lumbar Pain Management: Reducing strain on the lower back muscles and vertebrae.
- Postural Correction: Supporting the spine's natural alignment while in a supine or side-lying position.
- Pressure Redistribution: Minimizing localized pressure points that cause waking discomfort.
Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity of the support, the fabric cover should be laundered according to the care label. The internal foam core should not be submerged in water; spot clean only if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the D-shape design and how does it support my back?
The ergonomic D-shape profile is specifically engineered to fit the natural curvature of the lumbar (lower back) region. When placed between your back and the mattress, it maintains the spine's natural "S" curve, preventing the lower back from flattening and reducing strain on the vertebrae and surrounding muscles.
Is this suitable for both back and side sleepers?
Yes. The pillow is designed to benefit both back sleepers (placed under the lumbar region) and side sleepers (positioned behind the lower back to prevent rolling and maintain spinal alignment).
What are the dimensions of this lumbar support pillow?
The maximum dimensions are: W 60cm × L 20cm × H 5.5cm. The D-shaped profile means the height tapers from the maximum at the back edge to a lower point at the front, providing a graduated support surface.
What foam is used inside and will it go flat over time?
The core is made from high-resilience, high-density orthopaedic foam. High-resilience foam is specifically engineered to return to its original shape after compression, meaning it provides consistent support night after night and resists the sagging that occurs with standard foam pillows.
What cover options are available and what are they made from?
Two cover options are available:
White: A durable blend of 50% Polyester and 50% Cotton for everyday use.
Natural: 100% Organic cotton that is completely undyed and unbleached — ideal for those with sensitive skin or chemical sensitivities.

Natural: 100% Organic cotton that is completely undyed and unbleached — ideal for those with sensitive skin or chemical sensitivities.
Is the cover removable and machine washable?
Yes. The fitted cover is fully removable and machine washable. Please follow the care label instructions for the correct washing temperature. Always allow the cover to dry fully before replacing it on the foam core.
Can I wash the foam core?
No. The internal foam core must not be submerged in water. Water can permanently damage the foam's cell structure, causing it to deteriorate and lose its supportive properties. If the core requires cleaning, spot clean only with a lightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely.
Where is this pillow made?
This lumbar support pillow is handmade in the UK. It is crafted by specialist manufacturers with expertise in orthopaedic support products.
Can this help with diagnosed lower back conditions?
This pillow is engineered to assist with lumbar pain management, postural correction, and pressure redistribution. However, it is a support product and not a medical device. If you have a diagnosed spinal condition, please consult your GP, physiotherapist, or orthopaedic specialist before use to ensure it is appropriate for your specific needs.
