Memory Foam Pillows

Are memory foam pillows good?

Millions of people swear by memory foam pillows. Compared to other types of pillows, they feel quite hard at first. However, the foam softens in response to your body heat and the weight of your head. Your head sinks down into the pillow, with the foam adapting to your exact shape and position. It’s this adaptiveness that makes memory foam so supportive. Some people find memory foam too warm to sleep on comfortably. So, if you’re the kind of person who overheats at night, you may prefer a different pillow fill.

Can you wash memory foam pillows?

Memory foam pillows should not be washed. The foam is very delicate and can be easily damaged if it is washed. All Soak&Sleep memory foam pillows come with a removable outer case which can be washed. You can also lightly vacuum your memory foam pillow inner using an upholstery attachment to remove any dust or loose dirt that might have accumulated. Prevention is always better than cure, which is why we’d always recommend that you use a pillow protector to keep your memory foam pillow in good condition.
