Pillows
How to choose pillows
Fill material
Fill sets the feel: latex for firm support, polyester for easy care, feather or wool with foam core for mouldability.
Cover fabric
Cover fabric drives comfort: cotton or bamboo breathes, velvet or fleece adds warmth.
Colour choice
Colour runs across white, grey, blue, pink, green, black, yellow, cream, brown, and red, so match your room.
Sub-type and shape
Sub-type grouping covers Bedding, Linens & Bedding, and Home & Garden, with shapes from standard to European square.
User need
User need differs: infant head support pillows help babies with positioning but are wrong for adult backs.
What's good
- Cotton, bamboo, and cambric cotton covers breathe well, keeping sleepers cool through the night.
- Latex and polyester fills hold their shape, so you avoid a flat pillow by morning.
- Silk and velvet surfaces feel smooth or textured, and come in colours from white to red.
- Feather, down, and wool with foam core fills found in this range mould to the head for personalised loft.
- The category spans Bedding, Linens & Bedding, and Home & Garden, so core sleep pillows sit alongside specialist types like infant supports.
Things to watch
- Polyester and fleece trap heat, which suits cold rooms but not hot sleepers.
- Silk and cambric cotton need gentler washing than polyester/cotton blends.
- Feather and down fills need regular plumping, and may bother allergy sufferers.
- Latex pillows are heavier and harder to fold into a snug cover.
- Coloured options like blue, pink, or yellow can clash with plain white bedding.
Care & maintenance
Wash covers
Cotton and polyester/cotton covers take a normal machine wash.
Gentle fabrics
Silk and velvet need spot cleaning or a delicate cycle to stay intact.
Plump fills
Feather, down, or wool with foam core fills benefit from monthly plumping and an airing outdoors.
Latex care
Latex cores should be wiped with a damp cloth, never submerged.
