Description

This D-shaped firm pillow is designed to follow the lower-back curve while you rest. The profile provides targeted cushioning for the lumbar area for both back and side sleepers.

Handmade in the UK, it is constructed from a high-resilience firm foam core that retains its shape under load, providing consistent orthopaedic support throughout the night.

Key specifications

  • Design: Ergonomic D-shape profile for 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.

How it is used

  • Lower-back cushioning: Places supportive foam along the lumbar area while lying down.
  • Shaped rest position: The D-profile follows the lower-back curve in a back-lying or side-lying position.
  • Weight distribution: Spreads contact across the cushioned area rather than a single point.

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
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 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.
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.
