- Removable, machine washable covers — for home and commercial hygiene maintenance
- Available in small and large sizes — suitable for single, double and king beds
- Retail and wholesale supply — no minimum order
The pillow is the part of the bed in most direct contact with the sleeper. Get it wrong and everything else — the mattress, the duvet, the room temperature — is working against you. Memory foam addresses the most common failure of standard pillows: the tendency to either compress too much under pressure (hollowfibre) or push back rigidly (solid foam). Viscoelastic foam yields under load and holds that shape — which means the gap between the ear and the shoulder, the natural curve of the cervical spine, is supported rather than left to manage itself.
Contour Memory Foam Pillows
The contour designs take this further. Ergonomically profiled with a lower centre section for back sleeping and a higher outer profile for side sleeping, they offer the kind of spinal alignment support that makes a measurable difference to how rested the sleeper wakes. The small contour (30x50cm) suits narrower frames, children's beds and single beds in guest accommodation. The large contour (40x60cm) is the standard adult size and the most popular choice for hotels and serviced apartments.
Bamboo Memory Foam Pillows
Bamboo-covered memory foam pillows add a breathability advantage. The bamboo viscose outer draws moisture away from the skin — relevant for warmer sleepers and particularly useful in care home and hospital environments where night sweats are a consideration. The foam core is consistent with the rest of the range in terms of support and longevity.
Wedge Support Pillows
The wedge pillow is a different category entirely: designed to elevate the upper body for acid reflux relief, respiratory support, or post-surgery recovery positioning, rather than traditional head-and-neck alignment. It is the right specification for guests or residents with mobility or respiratory needs.
Wholesale Supply
For wholesale buyers — hotels, serviced apartments, Airbnb operators — memory foam pillows have a longer service life than hollowfibre when correctly specified and used with a pillow protector, which means fewer replacement cycles annually. The foam retains its shape through repeated laundering of the outer cover, provided the core itself is not machine washed. All covers in this range are removable and machine washable. No minimum order — order a single pillow or a full room setup. Call 01204 896528 for trade pricing on larger volumes.

FAQs
What is the best memory foam pillow for side sleepers?
Side sleepers need height — the gap between the ear and the mattress is larger than for back sleepers, and an undersized pillow leaves the neck unsupported overnight. The large contour memory foam pillow (40x60cm) is the right starting point: the raised side profile fills the gap and the foam holds that height through the night without compressing flat.
How is a contour memory foam pillow different from a standard memory foam pillow?
A standard memory foam pillow has a flat, uniform surface. A contour pillow is profiled — typically with a lower centre section for back sleeping and a higher outer section for side sleeping. The pillow adjusts to sleeping position rather than requiring the sleeper to adapt their position to the pillow.
Are bamboo memory foam pillows suitable for allergy sufferers?
Bamboo viscose is naturally antibacterial and moisture-wicking, making it a practical choice for allergy-sensitive sleepers and environments like care homes where dust mite control matters. The foam core is hypoallergenic. Adding a pillow protector extends the time between full pillow washes significantly.
Can hotels and guest houses buy memory foam pillows wholesale?
Yes. We supply hotels, guest houses, serviced apartments and Airbnb operators — no minimum order, no trade account required. For pricing on larger volumes, call 01204 896528 or email help@britishwholesales.co.uk, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm.
How long do memory foam pillows last with regular use?
With proper care — covers washed regularly, core kept dry — memory foam pillows typically retain their support for two to three years. In high-turnover hospitality settings, budget for replacement every 18–24 months. The foam will signal the end of its life by failing to return to shape after sustained pressure.
What size memory foam pillow fits a standard UK pillowcase?
The large contour (40x60cm) fits a standard UK pillowcase (50x75cm) — the case will be slightly loose at the sides, which is normal for this size. The small contour (30x50cm) suits a housewife-style or travel pillowcase. Always check dimensions before buying pillowcases separately.
