      15 MEDIUM SUPPORT PILLOWS

      Medium support works because it compresses enough to feel comfortable while still holding enough shape to keep the neck aligned. The range covers a wide mix of fills at this support level, including cotton, down alternative, microfibre, and natural duck and goose down, along with gusseted and quilted constructions that add extra structure. Body pillows in cotton blend are also part of the medium support range for side sleepers who want length as well as support.

      Choosing medium support is often the safest starting point for anyone unsure whether they need soft or firm, since it works reasonably well across back, side, and combination sleeping. It avoids the neck strain that comes from a pillow too firm or too high, while still offering more shape than a very soft, flattening fill.
