Soft Support Pillows

Soft support pillows are not simply flat or thin, the best ones cradle the head with a gentle, yielding feel that lets you sink in naturally without losing all underlying support.

Soft support pillows come in a wider range of fills than most people expect, and the fill makes a significant difference to how the pillow actually performs. Goose feather and down is the classic choice for a soft, luxurious feel, it moulds readily to the shape of the head and feels genuinely indulgent, though it does require regular plumping to maintain its loft. Hollowfibre soft pillows are more practical for everyday use: they wash and dry easily, suit allergy sufferers, and tend to hold their shape better between uses than natural fills. Feels-like-down options sit between the two, mimicking the yielding, cloud-like quality of natural down without the maintenance or the allergy concerns. Whichever fill suits you best, pairing your new pillow with fresh pillowcases from our full range is an easy way to complete the upgrade properly.

Are soft support pillows right for my sleeping position?

Soft support pillows work best for front sleepers, as the lower profile reduces the angle between the head and the mattress and puts less strain on the neck overnight. Light back sleepers who don't need significant height under the head also tend to find a soft pillow more comfortable than a medium or firm option. Side sleepers generally need more height to fill the gap between their shoulder and ear, so a soft pillow often compresses too much during the night for that position, our medium support pillows or firm support pillows are a better fit for side sleepers. If you share a bed and sleep in different positions, buying one soft and one medium or firm pillow is a straightforward way to keep both people comfortable without compromise. For anyone whose neck or back issues make choosing a pillow difficult, our memory foam pillows are worth considering alongside the soft range as they contour actively to each sleeper's shape.
