Find your pillow
Six pillows, one job: pressure-free sleep. Every pillow keeps the weight off your ear, and this page gets you to the right one fast.
Which one do you need?
- CNH or an ear pressure sore → The PWAH V2. (If you prefer sleeping on two pillows, the Original V1 sits on top of your usual pillow.)
- New or sensitive piercing → The Doughnut PWAH — affordable protection that sits on your own pillow. If piercings are a long-term part of your life → the V2.
- Recovering from ear surgery, or using creams or ointments overnight → The Waterproof PWAH — pressure relief with a wipe-clean surface.
- Away from home a lot → The Travel PWAH (carry-on sized, pillowcase and canvas travel bag included).
- You like sleeping on two pillows → The Original V1 — it pairs beautifully with the Pillow Without A Hole underneath.
- You sleep hot → choose British wool filling, available on every pillow except the Waterproof.
- Hearing aids, earbuds or headphones in overnight → The V2; the Doughnut is the budget-friendly route.
- A matching luxury pillow, or one for your partner → The Pillow Without A Hole.
- The cheapest way to try pressure-free sleep → The Doughnut.

Coil fibre or British wool?
Every pillow comes filled with our odourless, hypoallergenic coil fibre, produced in Yorkshire on traditional machinery dating back to 1952 — it maintains its loft, lets air circulate, and has a similar feel to feather and down while being completely cruelty-free. Prefer natural materials? British wool is breathable, temperature-regulating and a favourite with hot sleepers. And because every pillow has a YKK® zip, you can always remove our filling and use your own. Still deciding? Read Which pillow stuffing is right for you?
Not just ears
Ears aren’t the only thing we look after — we also make The Original Leg Pillow with a Hole™.
These are not cheap textiles, and you wouldn’t want them to be.
It’s expensive to make things this well. Well sourced materials with nothing hidden in them, made by people paid a proper wage, sewn from scratch here in Liverpool. Look at what else is out there: the rest of the market is made overseas, down to a price. We went the other way and chose quality over price. That’s why nobody else makes them like this.
- Made in Liverpool, England
