Side Sleeper Pillow - Neck & Shoulder Support | Derila

The Derila side sleeper pillow uses an ergonomic butterfly contour design with elevated side edges and a recessed center. This shape fills the gap between your head and mattress while side sleeping, supporting your neck at the proper height for neutral spinal alignment. Standard outworn flat pillows lack this targeted contouring, which can leave your neck bent at an unnatural angle.

Side sleepers generally need a pillow with higher loft than back or stomach sleepers because the side position creates a larger gap between the head and mattress. The Derila side sleeper pillow’s elevated contour is designed to fill this gap and maintain proper neck alignment. It’s available in Regular (12×20 in) and Plus (14×24 in) sizes to accommodate different body frames.

The pillow's ergonomic design supports your head and neck in a neutral position while side sleeping, which is intended to promote proper spinal alignment. By distributing pressure across its contoured surface rather than concentrating it in one spot, the pillow's design encourages even weight distribution. If you experience neck discomfort, consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

While the Derila side sleeper pillow is specifically shaped for side sleeping positions, some combination sleepers may find the contoured design suitable when transitioning between positions. If you primarily sleep on your back, you may want to consider the Derila Ergo Neck Support Pillow, which is designed for all sleep positions.

The pillow is made with high-density memory foam that responds to body heat and pressure, gently conforming to your head, neck, and shoulder contours. High-density foam is designed to resist compression better than lower-density alternatives, helping maintain its supportive properties with regular use over time. Like all foam products, some gradual softening may occur with extended use.

The outer cover is removable and machine washable — wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. The inner memory foam core should not be machine washed. If needed, spot clean the foam with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before replacing the cover.

The Derila side sleeper pillow comes in two sizes: Regular (12 in × 20 in / 30 cm × 50 cm), recommended for typical adult shoulder widths, and Plus (14 in × 24 in / 35 cm × 60 cm), recommended for larger frames or broader shoulders.

The Derila side sleeper pillow is made with materials designed to minimize common irritants. The removable cover can be regularly washed to help maintain a clean sleep surface. For individuals with specific sensitivities to materials, we recommend contacting our support team to verify compatibility with your preferences.

Some people may need time to adjust to a new pillow's feel. The 60-day satisfaction guarantee gives you adequate time to evaluate whether the pillow works for your sleep preferences.

The Derila side sleeper pillow is compatible with all standard mattress types including memory foam, innerspring, hybrid, and latex mattresses. The pillow's contouring adapts to how your body settles on any surface.

Yes. The Plus size (14 in × 24 in) is specifically designed for sleepers with broader shoulders or larger frames who need more surface area and loft for comfortable side-sleeping.

Side sleeping is often recommended during this life stage. The Derila's contoured design is intended to support side sleeping positions. As with any new product, consult with your doctor before use to ensure it's appropriate for your individual situation.
