Firm neck support with room for your ear when side-sleeping.
5.0 33 reviewsMemory foam contours to your shape and holds that profile. This firm memory foam neck support pillow follows the neck and shoulders and is designed to keep that shape through the night rather than slowly compressing underneath you.
The idea is consistent cushioning from the moment you settle to the moment you wake, without constantly reshaping a pillow that has gone flat.
As with our standard model, the ear recess reduces direct contact at the ear for side sleepers. Contoured shoulder grooves and neck channels give the pillow a defined shape, and ventilation built into the foam helps manage heat under the head.
Firm support. Precise fit. The same UK-made quality — in memory foam.

This pillow is designed for both back and side sleepers. The contoured shape supports the head and neck while allowing a comfortable sleeping position throughout the night.
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.
