Know before you buy
Yes, it features a unique shoulder recess specifically contoured to accommodate the shoulder of a side sleeper, which helps maintain proper spinal alignment throughout the night.
The gel infusion helps regulate temperature by dissipating heat more effectively than standard memory foam. While it won't feel like an ice pack, it significantly reduces the heat buildup often associated with traditional foam pillows.
The pillow includes a dual-material cover design. The Tencel fabric is chosen for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties, while the bamboo velour adds a soft, luxurious feel against the skin.
Yes, the Zoned Gel Dough memory foam is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it is made without ozone depleters, mercury, lead, or other heavy metals and has low VOC emissions for indoor air quality.
The Zoned technology features varying sizes of holes throughout the foam. Larger holes in the center cradle your head, while smaller holes around the perimeter provide firmer support for your neck.
Malouf provides a 5-year warranty on this pillow, which covers manufacturing defects and structural issues, ensuring long-term confidence in your purchase.
