The Waterproof P.W.A.H® in action

In detail

The wipe-clean pillow, in full

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

A wipe-clean, waterproof surface

The outer fabric is a soft, supple polyurethane-coated cotton — completely waterproof, yet smooth and comfortable against the skin. Wipe it clean in seconds: less washing, and a longer life for the pillow.

Choose your format — V1 or V2

Order it as the Original P.W.A.H® (V1) or the plusher P.W.A.H® V2, with or without a pillowcase, so you pick the support and construction you prefer. The V1 sits best on top of your usual pillow; the V2 is a plush standalone. Four combinations in all — it’s the choice you make at checkout.

Adjustable, cooler-than-foam filling

Odourless, hypoallergenic coil fibre, spun in Yorkshire on machinery dating back to 1952 — breathable, supportive, and it stays cooler than memory foam. A premium YKK® zip lets you add or remove filling to set the firmness and height, or swap in your own material entirely.

Optional organic cotton pillowcase

Add an OEKO-TEX® certified 100% organic cotton pillowcase for an extra layer of softness — keeping the waterproof body protected underneath.

Who it’s for

Who finds it useful

Applying creams, ointments or treatments

The reason this one exists: wipe the surface clean in seconds instead of constantly washing the pillow. No stains, far less laundry.

CNH-prone ears

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

New or sensitive piercings

Keeps pressure off a new or sensitive piercing.

Earphones, earplugs & hearing aids

Room around the ear for overnight devices.

Post-op comfort

Easy to keep clean and hygienic.

These describe how people choose to use the pillow for comfort and hygiene — 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 fabrics
  • Yorkshire fibre, spun since 1952
  • Fairly paid team

Good to know

Waterproof PWAH questions, answered

Happily, no. Our polyurethane-coated cotton withstands water ingress for up to 25 minutes, yet it’s genuinely soft. It doesn’t rustle or make a noise, as you might expect from a Gore-Tex–style fabric.

The firmness is completely adjustable by adding or removing stuffing via the integrated YKK® zip. We stuff them to a medium firmness — it’s easier to take a little out than to wish you had more. If you need extra filling, just contact us and we’ll send some along. For guidance, see our Care Instructions.

We offer two different fillings — coil fibre and British wool. This short video explains the difference between them: watch the stuffing guide.

Yes — our pillows can be machine washed on a low heat.

The V2 isn’t a replacement for the Original — it’s an alternative. It’s larger, and so more suitable as a standalone pillow, with an innovative pillowcase that completely encapsulates the hole. Its sides are “walled” for more internal volume, and therefore more loft or height. It also has a square rather than an oval hole — both are equally effective, so we simply wanted to offer the choice.

If you like to sleep with two pillows, the Original PWAH is a great choice, as it works best sat atop your existing pillow — and it’s the better pick if you prefer a smaller pillow. If you’d rather have a larger pillow, or sleep with only one, the PWAH V2 is the better option.

Full dimensions, including hole size, are listed in the Measurements tab further down this page.

Both versions can be bought with or without a pillowcase. Additional pillowcases can be purchased separately.

Although we’re confident you’ll get on well with your PWAH®, yes — we do accept returns.

Our guarantee

Try it for 14 days

Dependable, pressure-free sleep from the pillow people call Your Ear’s Best Friend®, backed by a 14-day refund guarantee. If it is not right for you, simply send it back.
