What is the right pillow density for me?

When considering buying a pillow there are a few things to consider.

There is the filling type, plenty to choose from. The choice might usually come down to the budget. Any of our 90 and 95% downs are excellent, fluffy and long lasting, they feel soft to touch and wont leak feathers out of them at all.

So once you have thought which down you might go with its now time to consider what density level will be best suited.

We have LOW or SOFT, MEDIUM and FIRM density.

SOFT or LOW density: These are usually best for smaller framed people, kids or stomach sleepers. It is designed and filled to be the right level to create the best solution and comfort for that purpose.

New to our range SOFT_MEDIUM density: This is a pillow that sits between our soft density and our medium density, if you are unsure if you need a soft or a medium then perhaps go with our soft-medium! SOFT Density or LOW profile is usually ideal for young children, smaller framed adults or stomach sleepers, a medium is ideal for most people regardless of sleep position. A soft-medium is a compromise between the two.

MEDIUM density: This is the most common level for most people. It usually is the best starting point for most. If you are a back or side sleeper this is going to be most ideal for you. Some stomach sleepers might find this is also okay for them as well.

New to our range MEDIUM-FIRM density: This is a pillow that sits between our medium density and our firm density, if you are unsure if you need a medium or a firm then perhaps go with our medium-firm! Medium density is ideal for most people regardless of sleep position. A Firm density is usually ideal for larger framed people, the medium-firm is a compromise between the two.

FIRM density: Most people will find these are way too firm for them. Firm pillows a re more ideal for a larger framed person, someone that might be 6'6" and broad shouldered. It is highly unlikely that a smaller framed person will find this comfortable. 

The advantage in buying a pillow from us is that if it isnt quite right you can send it back into us to have some filling removed or added to create the right level for you. Postage costs apply as well as some additional cost if filling is added. We cannot refund on a used pillow (just as we cant with a quilt) but you can buy from us safe in the knowledge that we can adjust it for you.
