A memory foam pillow is filled with so-called viscoelastic foam, which moulds itself under the head and neck. This type of pillow is not for everyone, but it suits certain sleeping habits well. Here is how it works and how to tell whether it is right for you.
How does memory foam work?
Memory foam reacts to body heat and pressure: it gradually sinks where the head presses, then slowly returns to its shape once released. The pillow therefore follows the contours of the head and neck instead of simply flattening. It feels firmer and more stable than a fibre or down pillow, and it does not need plumping up to recover its volume.
Who is it for?
- People looking for steady support for the neck that stays the same throughout the night.
- Those who sleep on their back or side and want their head to stay well supported.
- Those who find that a soft pillow flattens too quickly.
If, on the other hand, you like a soft pillow that you can shape by hand, a fibre or down model will probably suit you better: discover our pillows.
Care and protection
Air the pillow regularly and follow the instructions on its label. A pillowcase suited to its size, or a pillow protector, helps keep it clean for longer.
