Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about sleeping pillows

? How do I choose the right height of pillow?

Your pillow should fill the space between your head, neck and shoulder so your neck stays in line with your spine. Shoulder width, mattress firmness and your usual sleeping position all make a difference. Side sleepers often need more height, while back sleepers may prefer a lower profile. Guidance from a physiotherapist, GP or other health professional can be helpful when deciding on pillow height.

? Are contoured pillows better than standard pillows?

Contoured pillows can support more consistent neck alignment for some people, especially side and back sleepers, by cradling the head and supporting the curve of the neck. Others prefer a more traditional, even-shaped pillow. There is no single “best” pillow for everyone – comfort and alignment together are key, and it may take a little trial and guidance to find the right style.

? How long does a sleeping pillow last?

Most sleeping pillows need replacing every 1–3 years, depending on the material, how often they are used and how well they are cared for. Signs such as sagging, lumps, flattening or loss of support suggest it may be time to change your pillow. Using a pillow protector and following the care instructions can help extend its life.

? Can I use a therapeutic pillow if I have sleep apnoea or other conditions?

If you have sleep apnoea or another diagnosed sleep condition, you should always check with your GP or sleep specialist before changing pillows. Pillow height and shape can affect head and neck position and, in some cases, may influence your breathing or how your CPAP equipment fits. A health professional can advise on suitable options for your specific condition.

? Can you help me choose the right sleeping pillow?

Yes. Our team can help you think about your usual sleeping position, shoulder width, mattress type and any clinical advice you have been given, then compare different pillow heights and materials. If you would like personalised guidance, please contact our team for support. You can also explore brand information and detailed specifications on our product catalogues page .

? Can I use my NDIS funding for sleeping pillows?

In some cases, therapeutic sleeping pillows may be considered assistive technology under the NDIS, depending on your goals and NDIS plan. This usually requires guidance from your occupational therapist, therapist or support coordinator. For more information about how assistive technology works under the NDIS, you can visit the official NDIS page on assistive technology explained . We are happy to provide quotes or product information to support your NDIS discussions.

? Do you hire sleeping pillows as well as sell them?

Most sleeping pillows are purchased for personal use, but some related comfort and positioning products may be available for hire through our dedicated hire website.
