How to choose a pillow shape
3 min read · Posture Pillow Co
Pillows come in more shapes than most of us expect. Each one sits differently on a bed, a sofa or a chair.
Here is a plain tour of the shapes we sell, so you can pick by look and feel.
Contoured
A contoured pillow has two raised edges and a dip in the middle. The Contoured Memory Foam Pillow comes in standard and queen sizes.
It suits anyone who likes a pillow with a clear, curved outline.
Wedge
A wedge is a triangle of foam with a slope. The Foam Wedge Pillow has a base of about 24 x 24 in and is about 8 in high.
People use wedges for reading, lounging and propping.
Roll
A roll is a round bolster.
The Neck Roll Pillow is about 10 in long and about 4 in wide, filled with foam microbeads.
How to decide
Think about where you will use it and how you like to sit or lie. Our size and shape guide gives you a tidy minute of measuring tips.
All sales are final, so check the measurements before you order.
