6 reasons I stopped folding my pillow in half

I'm a 20-year-old college student, and I was sick of tossing and turning all night and folding my pillow in half just to get comfortable.

So I went looking for a pillow I'd actually like sleeping on. Here is what I found.

1It holds its shape, so there's nothing to fold

It holds its shape, so there's nothing to fold

Folding a pillow in half is what you do once it's gone flat. This one is memory foam. It sinks in when you lie down and rises right back into shape you get up.

Soft like a cloud, but it holds its shape, so the nightly fold-and-punch routine is over.

2A raised edge fills the gap under your neck

A raised edge fills the gap under your neck

Lie on a flat pillow and there's an empty space between your neck and the mattress. That's the space I was trying to fill every time I folded mine.

The Cloudbound Pillow has a raised, rounded edge that sits right there, so the gap is already filled when you lie down.

3Your head gets a soft place to land

Your head gets a soft place to land

In the middle there's a gentle dip where your head rests. It's the softest part of the pillow.

You sink in a little, the foam settles around your head, and the raised edge stays right where it is.

4Back, side or stomach, it's the same pillow

Back, side or stomach, it's the same pillow

I move around all night, so this one mattered. On your back, your head rests in the soft center. On your side, the curved edges give your shoulder room. It works for stomach sleepers too.

No flipping it around, no second pillow stacked underneath.

5Soft, not a block of foam

Soft, not a block of foam

Contour pillows have a reputation for feeling like a brick with a curve cut into it. This one is soft enough to sink into, then it slowly comes back up.

It's 4.3 inches tall, about as tall as a coffee mug, and a little wider than an adult's shoulders. One pillow fits one adult.

6Honest shipping and a 30-day refund policy

We're a small brand, so I'd rather tell you up front: your pillow ships from our supplier overseas and takes about 2 to 3 weeks to arrive. You'll get a tracking link by email as soon as it's on the way.

And if it's not for you, your order is covered by our 30-day refund policy.

It's free on orders over $54.99, and the 2-pack and 4-pack always ship free. Below that it's a flat $4.99.

Which sleep positions does it work for?

Back, side and stomach. On your back your head rests in the soft center, and on your side the curved edges give your shoulder room.

How big is it?

22.4 x 14.6 inches and 4.3 inches tall (57 x 37 x 11 cm). It's sized for one adult.

What is it made of?

Did you design this pillow?

No. I went looking for a pillow I actually liked sleeping on, found this one, and started Cloudbound to sell it.
