Know before you buy
Yes, this pillow is specifically designed to provide the necessary support for both side and back sleepers. Its memory foam construction helps maintain proper neck alignment in these positions.

No, the cover is not removable. You should spot clean the pillow as needed to maintain its condition.
No, this pillow is not adjustable. It has been resilience-tested to maintain a specific firmness and height profile right out of the packaging.
It offers the contouring support typical of memory foam, but the addition of gel beads gives it a slightly different feel. It is designed to be more breathable and less heat-retentive than standard foam pillows.
