Glossary

Firm
The pillow will hold its shape when used and not give in or sink in. A firm pillow will provide good support throughout the night, which can be important to someone suffering with neck pain. On the downside, the pillow may cause discomfort or pain on the head and ears because it lacks softness.

Medium
The pillow hold it shape only moderately and sinks in some when used. In other words, it provides a combination of support and softness. Medium firmness is probably best for the needs of the majority of people.

Soft
The pillow is cushy and provides little if any support. One's head on a soft pillow will often sink down low in it. It is probably not good for side sleepers in particular because their heads need more support to keep the neck in a proper, neutral position.

Mouldable
The pillow can be easily shaped and is conformable. This can help it to be more supportive.

Contoured support
The pillow is shaped to provide proper neck support or can be shaped to do so. A memory foam pillow, for example, has contours designed to give support, while a buckwheat can be molded to provide contoured support.

Cuddly
The pillow is soft and moldable, as opposed to firm and stiff.

Quickly auto adjusts
