Roughly three in five people in Australia sleep on their side. Finding the right pillow for this position matters because too much support could lead to discomfort and misalignment, while too little could lead to neck and back pain. At Dentons, we have spent over 40 years matching ergonomic designs with high-quality materials, offering side sleepers the perfect combination of comfort and support.

What a side sleeper pillow does

Side sleeper pillows maintain your natural spinal alignment during the night and cushion your head, neck and shoulders. A supportive pillow helps get your head in line with your lower shoulder and evens out your spinal position as you sleep. Side sleepers may also prefer a contoured foam pillow which allows your shoulder to rest comfortably into the mattress while holding up your head.

Our materials for side sleepers

Dentons side sleeper pillows use high-quality materials including:

•       Memory Foam: a luxurious and comfortable foam that features a slow recovery to original shape. Our Memory Foam pillows display good breathability through the open cell nature of the foam, therefore promoting a cooler night's sleep.

•       Softec: soft to touch and yet delivers enough support to maintain your head in the correctly aligned position, making it ideal for therapeutic support purposes. Made from our own patented foam blend, it has a high degree of open cell formation creating breathability and resulting in a cooler foam and a better night's sleep.

•       Memorelle Fibre: a soft, low-allergy fill used across specialist Dentons designs.

•       Natural Latex: listed as a material available in the Dentons side sleeper range.

Choosing the right loft for your frame

Dentons uses three loft categories to help you find the right pillow height:

•       High loft: may appeal to sleepers with larger frames.

•       Medium loft: will appeal to a wide range of frame types.

•       Low loft: may appeal to sleepers with smaller frames.
