Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best pillow for my sleep position?  

The best pillow for your sleep position is one that properly aligns your spine. Typically, side sleepers benefit from firmer pillows, stomach sleepers from softer pillows, back sleepers from medium-firm pillows, and universal sleepers from soft, versatile pillows. Shoulder cutout pillows are a great option for side sleepers.

Which pillow is best for cooling?

If you sleep hot, you'll love our brand-new Ice Cloud® Pillow or the CarbonCool® LT in both regular and shoulder cutout variations. The innovative cooling technology in these pillows absorb and dissipate body heat to maintain the optimal sleep climate all night long. Our gel-infused Zoned Dough® and ActiveDough® pillows are also a great fit for those who sleep hot.

What does pillow loft mean?

Pillow loft refers to pillow thickness. Loft plays a vital role in aligning your neck and spine. Low loft pillows are typically around 4 inches or less, mid-loft is 5-6 inches, and a high loft is anything higher than 6 inches. Generally speaking, stomach sleepers benefit from a lower loft, side sleepers benefit from mid-high, and back sleepers can benefit from any of the three.

How long does a good pillow last?

A good pillow maintains its best quality for about 2-3 years. After that, we recommend replacing your pillow to ensure your pillows are supportive, comfortable, and stay free of allergens.

Do I need a pillow protector?

We recommend using a pillow protector to protect your pillow from sweat, stains, spills, and allergens.

What does the pillow warranty cover?

The warranty covers any defects in the materials or workmanship. The following exceptions will void the warranty: excessive wear and tear, stains, normal changes in softness or resilience, improper care, or damage caused by use on uneven mattresses or other surfaces, alteration or repair by unauthorized representatives, damage resulting from transit or handling, or commercial use. Visit our warranty page for full details on what each warranty covers.

Fantastic sleep

"Was a little skeptical at first at how I would like this pillow with the shoulder cutout, but I was happily surprised. The pillow is a bit softer than my regular Zoned Dough pillow, but it is still very comfortable and not too soft. My neck sits comfortable on the pillow with the cutout. The lavender smell does take a few days to air out. It is very chemically at first, but it does go away thankfully. I would have preferred no scent though honestly."

Rebecca E. (5/5)

Most comfortable pillow yet!

"I’m a side sleeper and change sides a lot … this shoulder zoned dough pillow is the first pillow that really worked for me… I have given away at least 5 other brands over the past few years …"

Neda (5/5)

I first bought a pillow from this company 9 yrsago

"I fell in love with this pillow. I have tried many others spending 100s of dollars but I believe I spent $70 about 9 yrs ago and have never looked back. I always sleep on my side and this has been the perfect pillow for me (some times on my back in my old age of 40. ) My daughters love it aswell so I have bought them one too. i’m excited to try the new CBD Pillow which will be my next purchase. I will say that the pillow without the cut out is more thicker, and the one with the cut out is slimmer. ❤️"

Melissa F. (5/5)

Best, multi-position neck support.

"I purchased four different pillows from four different brands, trying to find one that would fix my partner's neck issues during sleep. This was her top choice, and she seems to be experiencing fewer recurring headaches. 5 stars."

Nathan S. (5/5)

Great pillow, bad smell.

"I got the lavender infused shoulder zoned dough pillow, and I LOVE the pillow. I’ve had many kinds of pillows including an even more expensive purple harmony pillow and in my opinion, this one is better. However, the “lavender” infusion smells extremely chemically/soapy and not at all like actual lavender. As someone who is sensitive to perfumey/soapy scents, it gives me a headache. I wish I had gotten one of the other two variants instead. I love the smell of lavender, but this is not that."

Caitlyn B. (4/5)

Good but not as good as the last one

"I had a slightly different version of a shoulder zoned pillow I purchased at a mattress show about 10 years ago. I think it was called "Z zone" and had gel built into one side. It wore out and I was looking for a replacement. I don't need a very high pillow, but this one is a little lower than I like and not quite as supportive as my previous one. It is still better than another one I tried but I wish a version came in actual "firm. " instead of "Medium firm or plush-firm. " The pillows have very similar names on the site so I may have selected the wrong one by accident I suppose. I don't think I can easily swap it so I guess I'll keep it."

Theresa H. (4/5)

Great for side sleepers

"This is my second one only because the other got water damage from travel. The shoulder part is the best — makes it so comfortable to be a side sleeper! The lavender is a wonderful touch and I always wish I had more of the oil spritzer."

Laurel T. (5/5)

A cut in the right direction

"I wasn't sure what to expect from this pillow. It felt a little more squishy than I normally like. But Since I've used it, I have had very good sleep. Something about the cutout just works. Probably because the shoulder is no logner elevated. But I've had no neck pain and I think it's actually helped with my sore back. Bought one for my wife and she's loved it also. Would definitely recommend."

Ken W. (5/5)

Simply I LOVE IT!! I’ve

"Simply I LOVE IT!! I’ve had shoulder surgery and couldn’t sleep on my side for more than a few minutes. Now with this pillow it’s a game changer."

Steven S. (5/5)

Great pillow for side sleeping

"I have been looking for this exact pillow for years. I have spent hundreds of dollars trying out pillows for neck/jaw/shoulder issues and was so wallet shy that I waited for 6 months after finding this company to purchase this pillow. For me, it's exactly what I needed and now I actually own this style and the Active dough pillow which I have been using for over 30+ days. I love both pillows, the shoulder zone has a little more height to it to support my neck for side sleeping. I use both pillows at night, sometimes alternating the pillows if the shoulder zoned feels too firm based on my day of exercise/stress/level of muscle tension in my neck/jaw. I use one pillow for resting my arm on to keep shoulders lined up and the other for sleeping. Everyone's pillow preferences are different, but I am very happy I made this purchase. I am 5'3'', 110 pounds, side and back sleeper. While this pillow is firmer than the active dough, it's soft enough that I don't have additional pain created in my jaw. (The other neck pillows on market I've tried were so firm side sleeping would put extra pressure on my jaw joints/muscles and I would awaken in pain. )"
