About Us

At Proper Pillow®, we believe that a good night’s sleep is essential for health and wellbeing. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to creating the most comfortable and supportive pillows to help you wake up feeling refreshed and energized.

Our Story

Proper Pillow® was founded in 2022 by John Smith, an entrepreneur with a background in physical therapy and ergonomics. John had struggled with neck pain for years and found little relief from the generic pillows available in most stores. He knew there had to be a better solution.

After extensive research into sleep science and pillow design, John created the first Proper Pillow® – an innovative pillow that provided both comfort and support for all sleeping positions. Engineered with a unique contoured shape, our pillows are designed to align the head, neck, and spine while you sleep.

The response to that first Proper Pillow® was tremendous. People loved finally finding a pillow that reduced neck pain and headaches. Word spread quickly and demand skyrocketed.

Today, we have an entire line of Proper Pillows® for every type of sleeper. And we continue to innovate new materials and designs in our mission to help people wake up feeling their best.

Our Pillows

Every Proper Pillow® is expertly engineered for comfort and support. Here is an overview of our pillow collections:

Contour Pillows

Our signature contour pillows feature an ergonomic curved shape that provides gentle support for your head and neck. The contours cradle your head to keep your spine aligned as you sleep on your back or side. We offer contour pillows in three different heights and firmness levels to suit your individual needs. The adjustable loft allows you to customize your support.

Gel Pillows

Our gel pillows contain a layer of cooling gel-infused memory foam that helps regulate temperature all night long. The gel layer also provides cushioning comfort and conforms to the contours of your head and neck. Available in three loft heights in soft, medium and firm densities. The gel collection is ideal for hot sleepers.

Latex Pillows

For those seeking an all-natural pillow, our latex pillows provide resilient support from premium Talalay latex interior. Latex contours to your shape while instantly springing back to hold its form. Its breathable design also allows increased airflow to keep you cool. Our latex pillows come in plush, medium and firm densities.

Memory Foam Pillows

Our best-selling memory foam pillows cradle your head in cushioning comfort with premium body-conforming memory foam. The memory foam molds to the natural curves of your neck and recovers its shape when you move. Enjoy the pressure-relieving comfort of memory foam, available in three loft options.

Travel Pillows

Our travel pillows are lightweight, portable, and packable – perfect for travel, business trips, or camping. Available in memory foam and latex varieties, both provide comfortable support for your neck during travel. The snap closure secures the pillow in place and the plush velour cover feels soft against your skin.

Specialty Pillows

We offer several specialty pillows tailored for specific needs:

  • Side sleeper pillow – Contoured for ideal alignment in the side sleeping position.
  • Stomach sleeper pillow – Thin profile keeps the head and neck supported for stomach sleepers.
  • Orthopedic pillow – Provides enhanced support with a higher loft and firmer feel.

Our Technology

At Proper Pillow®, we utilize advanced sleep technology and rigorous testing to engineer the most comfortable and supportive pillows.

Responsive Foams and Fibers

Our pillows feature responsive memory foams and latex that contour gently to the head and neck. These materials adapt to your shape while providing pressure relief and healthy alignment of the spine.

We also infuse some of our foams and fibers with innovative cooling gels and technologies to prevent heat buildup. This allows for a cool and comfortable sleep all night long.

Customized Designs

Each Proper Pillow is specially designed and engineered based on extensive research and testing with real sleepers. We analyze data on sleep positions, pillow fit, loft, and firmness to create products tailored for different types of sleepers and needs.

Our pillows feature ergonomic contours, tapered edges, and adjustable loft so you can customize your support and comfort. The result is a pillow crafted for how you sleep.

Quality Testing

We rigorously test our pillows to ensure they meet the highest standards for quality and durability. Our pillows undergo:

  • Hyperbaric chamber testing – Simulates years of use in short periods to validate long term durability
  • Cell load deflection testing – Measures softness and recovery of materials over thousands of compressions
  • Thermal conductivity testing – Verifies temperature regulation and airflow of cooling technologies
  • Microbial analysis – Ensures all materials meet strict standards for antimicrobial properties

This intensive testing results in pillows you can trust to provide comfort, support and durability night after night.
