The Original P.W.A.H® – Designed for Pierced Ears

The P.W.A.H® set up for new and sensitive piercings. Its central opening keeps your ear completely free of contact while supporting your head, so nothing presses on a tender piercing overnight. Choose your filling below, then set the firmness to suit you.

In detail

Everything in the pillow

A premium YKK® zip allows you to customise the pillow’s firmness by adding or removing filling. This ensures the PWAH® feels exactly right, whether you prefer a softer, lower profile or a fuller, firmer support.

The standard filling is our odourless, hypoallergenic coil fibre, produced in Yorkshire on traditional machinery dating back to 1952. It maintains loft, promotes airflow, and offers a supportive medium-firm feel. For those who prefer natural materials, the Original PWAH® is also available with British wool filling — a breathable, temperature-regulating, and environmentally responsible alternative. Prefer something different entirely? The YKK® zip means you can remove our filling and use your own preferred material instead — making the pillow truly bespoke.

The pillowcase is made from 100% organic cotton sateen, certified OEKO-TEX® for purity and skin safety. It is smooth, breathable, and gentle against a sensitive ear.

Who it’s for

Who finds it useful

For CNH-prone ears

Takes the pressure off the ear — a recognised way to keep a CNH-prone spot comfortable.

For new or sensitive piercings

Sleep comfortably without pressing on a new or sensitive piercing.

For earphones & earplugs

Room around the ear for overnight earphones, headphones or earplugs.

For hearing aid wearers

Keeps pressure off the aid while you sleep.

For some types of tinnitus

Many people report the ear feels more comfortable when it’s pressure-free.

For post-op comfort

Keeps the ear protected and free of contact.

These describe how people choose to use the pillow for comfort — it isn’t a medical device.

Our craft

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.
