Ergonomic neck pillow for side sleepers – memory foam, 12 cm
Read this before you order
The most common reason an ergonomic pillow feels wrong is not quality – it is height.
If you sleep on your side, the pillow needs to fill the space between your ear and the mattress. If it is too low, the neck tilts downward; if it is too high, the neck tilts upward.
Airnuv Pro is up to 12 cm high, making it best suited to people with broader shoulders, those who prefer a higher pillow or those who spend a lot of the night sleeping on their side. If you have narrower shoulders or mainly sleep on your back, a lower model may suit you better.
Why the pillow is shaped this way
Airnuv Pro has a contoured butterfly design with a lower centre and higher side sections. The centre gives the back of the head space when you sleep on your back, while the higher sides fill more of the gap between the head and mattress when you turn onto your side.
The side cut-outs give your arm more room if you like to sleep with your forearm in front of or beneath the pillow.
Memory foam gradually responds to pressure and body heat. In a cool bedroom, the pillow may therefore feel firmer for the first few minutes before the material softens.
- Two height levels in one pillow - lower centre and higher sides.
- Designed for back and side sleeping - choose the position that suits how you normally sleep.
- Arm cut-outs - extra room for the forearm in side sleeping.
- Memory foam - adapts to the head and neck, then returns to shape.
- Removable cover - easier to keep clean.
- Official retailer - KVALIO is an official Airnuv retailer.
The first few nights
A contoured pillow can feel unfamiliar if you are used to a flat or very soft pillow. Give your body a few nights to adjust before judging the fit.
If the pillow still feels clearly too high or too low after the adjustment period, the height is probably not right for your build or sleeping position.
How to position yourself
- Position the pillow so your neck is supported and the back of your head rests in the lower section when sleeping on your back.
- When sleeping on your side, rest your head on the higher side so your neck stays as neutral as possible in relation to your spine.
- Keep your shoulder on the mattress rather than on top of the pillow.
- Use the side cut-outs if you like to place your arm in front of or beneath the pillow.
- Air the pillow after unpacking. New memory foam may have a mild material scent that normally fades with ventilation.
Who is Airnuv Pro best suited to?
- Side sleepers - especially if you need more height between your head and the mattress.
- Back sleepers who prefer more support - the lower centre gives the back of the head more space.
- People with broader shoulders - the higher profile can fill the gap more effectively.
- People who sleep with an arm close to the pillow - the side cut-outs provide extra room.
If you mainly sleep on your stomach, Airnuv Pro is generally not the best choice, as stomach sleeping usually calls for a much lower pillow.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if the height is right for me?
Lie on your side and check that your head is not clearly tilted upward or downward. The aim is to keep the neck as neutral as possible in relation to the spine. Broader shoulders often require more pillow height.
Is it suitable for stomach sleepers?
Usually not. Stomach sleepers generally need a very low pillow because the neck is already rotated to the side in that sleeping position.
Why does the pillow feel firm at first?
Memory foam responds to temperature and body heat. In a cool room it often feels firmer initially and softens after a few minutes.
How long does it take to adjust?
It varies. Give the pillow a few nights and up to around a week. If the height still feels clearly wrong after that, another profile is likely to suit you better.
Can I wash the whole pillow?
No. Only wash the removable cover according to the care instructions. Memory foam should not be machine washed or soaked.
Will a standard pillowcase fit?
It may work, but because the pillow is contoured, a fitted cover generally sits better and follows the shape with fewer folds.
