Why the bamboo

A softer, more forgiving pillow

Quilted bamboo surface

Softer against the ear than cotton.

Gentle stretch

Gives as you move, springs back.

Coil or British wool

Odourless, hypoallergenic, firmness adjustable.

Made in Liverpool

Sewn from scratch by our team.

The upgrade

A softer step beyond the doughnut

Here is what the Bamboo Edition is made of, and what each part does for you.

The quilted bamboo surface

Made from a quilted bamboo mix chosen for exceptional softness, subtle elasticity and durability. Compared to traditional cotton it feels more forgiving, and its gentle give lets it settle around you and spring back — so it keeps its plump, “squishy” comfort for far longer with regular use. It stays breathable and smooth against the skin.

Adjust it to suit you

A premium YKK® zip lets you add or remove filling, so you can set it softer and lower or fuller and firmer. The gentle stretch of the quilted fabric makes that adjustment easier and helps the pillow hold its resilient feel over time.

Your choice of filling

The standard filling is our odourless, hypoallergenic coil fibre, spun in Yorkshire on machinery dating back to 1952. It’s softer than memory foam — closer to the feel of feather and down, but cruelty-free — and it maintains loft, promotes airflow and gives a supportive medium–firm feel.

Prefer natural materials? It’s also available with British wool: naturally breathable, temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking to keep you comfortable as conditions change, with gentle, responsive support — and it’s renewable, biodegradable and environmentally responsible.

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.

  • Made in Liverpool, England
  • Premium YKK® zips
  • OEKO-TEX® certified fabric
  • Yorkshire fibre, spun since 1952
  • Fairly paid team
