Description

Memory 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.

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.

Which size should I choose?

As a general guide:

  • Male XS–S: Royal
  • Male M+: King
  • Female XS–M: Royal
  • Female L+: King

If you are very petite, size down. If you are very tall, size up.

What are the available pillow sizes?
  • Royal (Queen): 52 × 31 × 13 cm
  • Royal Extra: 60 × 31 × 13 cm
  • King: 58 × 33.5 × 15 cm
  • Child: 52 × 31 × 9.5 cm
  • Travel Royal: 33 × 31 × 13 cm
  • Travel King: 33 × 33 × 15 cm
What is the difference between the memory foam version and the standard foam version?

The memory foam version has a firmer feel and adapts more closely to the shape of the head and neck. The standard foam version has a softer feel and springs back more quickly.

Can the pillow cover be washed?

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

Does the pillow work with a standard pillowcase?

Yes, the pillow can be used with a standard pillowcase placed over the fitted cover.

Who is this pillow suitable for?

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.

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.
