Questions people ask before they buy

Why does a new memory foam pillow smell?

Worth saying plainly, because it is the most common complaint about any new foam pillow. Shredded memory foam off-gasses after being sealed in vacuum packaging, and some people find the smell strong rather than faint. Unzip the cover, leave it out in a ventilated room, and it fades over about a week. Washing the cover before first use helps. If it has not settled by then, send it back under the 30-day return policy.

Why did it arrive flat?

It ships compressed so the box stays small and shipping stays free. Unzip the cover, break the foam up with your hands and give it 24 to 48 hours to reach full loft. It looks noticeably thin until it does, and that is not a fault.

Can I use it as a pregnancy pillow?

Yes, that is one of the most common uses. At 54 inches it is long enough to support your bump and tuck between your knees at the same time, which is the position most people find comfortable while pregnant, and it works afterwards for nursing support. It is a general-purpose body pillow rather than a medical device, so follow your midwife or doctor's advice on sleeping position.

Can I change how firm it is?

Yes. The cover unzips and the shredded memory foam can be added or removed to set the loft. Take some out for a softer, flatter pillow, put it back for more support. Keep whatever you remove. Sleep on it two or three nights before adjusting, because foam compresses under body heat.

Does it sleep hot?

Less than most body pillows. The cover is rayon made from bamboo, which moves heat away from the skin more readily than a dense cotton-poly case, and the shredded fill has air gaps that a solid block does not. If you want the opposite — something plush and warm for winter — the Winter Fluffy has a faux fur cover instead. Our guide to the best pillow for hot sleepers explains the difference.

How do I wash it?

Wash the cover, not the foam. The cover unzips and is machine washable. Never put shredded memory foam in a washing machine or dryer — spot-clean it and let it air dry fully.

Is one body pillow enough, or do I need two?

One is enough for most side sleepers, since you hug it with your arms and bring one knee over it. People who like to be fully propped sometimes use one in front and one behind. If you mainly want head support for both sides of the bed, our bamboo pillow 2-pack is the better buy.
