Contour Neck Support Pillow for Back and Side Sleepers
This ergonomic contour pillow from Putnams is designed to provide balanced support for the head, neck and shoulders during sleep. The shaped design follows the natural curve of the neck and allows both back and side sleepers to rest in a comfortable position throughout the night.
The pillow features a sculpted contour shape with a shoulder recess and an ear indentation to improve comfort when sleeping on your side. The supportive foam construction provides a medium-soft feel that quickly springs back to its original shape after use.
Ventilation channels within the foam help improve airflow while the fitted cotton cover provides a breathable and comfortable sleeping surface.
This pillow is available in several sizes to suit different shoulder widths and sleeping preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which pillow 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 you may prefer to size down. If you are very tall you may prefer to size up.
What is the difference between the standard foam pillow and the memory foam version?
The standard foam version has a medium-soft feel and quickly springs back to its original shape. The memory foam version is firmer and gradually adapts to the shape of the head and neck.
Is this pillow suitable for side sleepers?
Yes. The pillow includes an ear recess and shoulder contour which are designed to improve comfort when sleeping on your side.
Can the pillow cover be washed?
Yes. The fitted cotton cover can be removed and machine washed according to the care instructions.
Will the pillow feel warm during the night?
The pillow includes ventilation channels in the foam designed to help improve airflow.
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.
