4.8 out of 5. Individual experiences may vary
I sleep on my side and my ear always ended up folded. The grooves sound like a small thing until the first night.

I move between my back and my side all night. Now I just shift over instead of punching the pillow into shape.

I was sure it would go back like the last three. It took me a few nights to get used to the shape. Now my old flat pillow feels strange.

Sound familiar?
If the first thing you do every morning is roll your neck...
Your ear folds under you
Lie on your side and the pillow presses your ear flat against your head for the whole night.
Your head slides off
A flat pillow gives your head nowhere to stay, so by morning half of it is on the mattress.
Three pillows, same morning
Soft, firm, two stacked together. None of them fit how you actually sleep, on your back and your side.
Room for Your Ear. A Place for Your Head.
How it is shaped, what it is filled with and which size fits you. Individual experiences may vary.
2
ear grooves, one on each side, so your ear is not folded under you
2

15 x 23
inches in the standard size, or 18 x 27 in for the large
We each have one, one per side of the bed. I sleep on my side, my husband sleeps on his back, and the same pillow works for both of us.

Questions, answered
Everything you might be wondering
01Is this a memory foam pillow?
No, and we would rather tell you here than have you find out when you unbox it. Most contour pillows are memory foam, so it is a fair thing to assume. This one is filled with a blend of soy protein fiber and polyester fiber, shaped into the contour. Compared with memory foam it feels lighter and springier, it bounces back right away instead of slowly holding the print of your head, and it does not feel warm and dense. If memory foam is the one thing you are set on, this is not your pillow. If what you want is the contour shape, the ear grooves and two heights in a fiber pillow, it is.
02How do the ear grooves work?
There is a groove on each side of the pillow, where your ear lands when you lie on your side. Instead of pressing your ear flat against your head, the pillow leaves a hollow for it to rest in. Because there is one on each side, it does not matter which way you turn. It is a small detail, and it is the one people tell us they notice first, usually on the first night.
03Can I sleep on my back and on my side?
Yes, that is why it has two heights. The lower part, with the center trough, is for lying on your back: your head sits in the trough and does not slide off. The higher part is for lying on your side, where there is more space to fill between your shoulder and your head. If you change position during the night, you just shift over to the other part. It is not made for sleeping on your stomach.
04Which size should I get?
There are two sizes. The standard is 15 x 23 in (40 x 60 cm) and weighs about 2.2 lb (1,000 g). The large is 18 x 27 in (48 x 70 cm) and weighs about 2.6 lb (1,200 g). If you have broad shoulders, spend most of the night on your side or simply like a bigger pillow on a wide bed, go large. Otherwise the standard size is the one most people pick. Both come in gray or white.
05How do I wash it?
The cover is washable. Follow the care label sewn into it for temperature and drying, and let it dry completely before you put it back on. For the pillow itself, follow the care label sewn into the pillow. Between washes, a regular pillowcase over the cover keeps it fresher for longer, and airing the pillow out in the morning while you make the bed helps it keep its shape.
06What is it made of?
The fill is a blend of soy protein fiber and polyester fiber, shaped into a contour with a center trough, two heights and a groove for the ear on each side. It is not memory foam and it is not feather or down. The exact fill percentages and the care instructions are on the label sewn into the pillow, so check that label for the details.
07How does the guarantee work?
Every order is covered by our 100-day guarantee, counted from the day it arrives: sleep on it, wash the cover, live with it. If it is not right for you, email info@sweet-sleep.co with your order number and we will make it right. One-time purchase, no subscription and no automatic charges, ever. For processing times, delivery estimates, tracking and returns, see our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy pages, which are always the current version.
08What if it is not for me?
Try it risk-free. Sleep on it for a couple of weeks rather than judging it on the first night, since a contour shape feels different from a flat pillow at first. If it is not the one, just reach out and we are happy to help and make it right. One-time purchase, no subscription and no surprise charges.
