What is a contoured pillow?
3 min read · Posture Pillow Co
A contoured pillow is shaped on purpose. It is not a plain rectangle.
Here is a simple look at the shape and the sizes.
The shape
Our Contoured Memory Foam Pillow has two raised edges and a dip in the center.
The raised edges sit on either side of the dip. You can see the Foam Wedge Pillow for the details.
The sizes
It comes in standard, about 24 x 14 in, and queen, about 26 x 16 in.
Measure your pillowcase and compare.
The fill
The fill is memory foam, with a fabric cover that zips.
Spot clean the foam and follow the label on the cover.
Is it for you?
If you like a pillow with a clear shape, it is a nice one to try. If you prefer a flat pillow, a standard one may suit you better. Try our size and shape guide to compare.
We make no promises about how it feels. We name the shape, the fill and the size.
A few more tips
When the pillow arrives, give it time to open up and air out. Put it in its case and try it on your bed or sofa for a few days. Pick the size that matches your case: standard or queen. Free US shipping starts at $35, and all sales are final, so measure first.
