Delivery was prompt but had to spend so long and several attempts to find where .to order on line. If I have to do this every 6 months I would like to think it could be as simple as other online shopping experiences.

My partner went away and forgot his pillow, he bought this on the fly. Brought it home and i was obsessed. Hunted it down online and was so happy to find it here. It's the right amount of squishy, but softer than the usual memory foam. Bambi Renew Charcoal Infused Memory Foam Pillow

Very wide choice of products; good quality of items purchased; prompt delivery and advice of progress towards my address.

Queen size, electric blanket- Dreamaker 100% Cotton Quilted Electric Blanket Recently purchased- speedy delivery This is a very comfortable electric blanket- deep stretchy skirting and a generously plumped cotton quilt cover. The electrical connection is placed at the top of the blanket, and is therefore on top of the pillow area - no more bumps on the side. Blanket controls are well designed and easy to use. Very happy with my purchase.
Geeat products , good quality and fair prices. And fast postage. Highly recommended

Back Sleeper Pillow Buying Guide
Find the perfect pillow for back sleeping - matched to your sleeping position, body frame, and fill preference. For the full range, see our Australian Pillow Buying Guide.
Around 38% of adults spend significant time sleeping on their back. Back sleeping distributes weight evenly, supports spinal alignment, and is ideal for reducing pressure points. But pillow choice is critical - a pillow that is too high pushes your head forward, straining the neck and closing airways. Too flat and your head falls backward, losing the natural cervical curve. The ideal back sleeper pillow is contoured or medium profile - high enough to support the neck curve but low enough to keep the head level with the spine.
At a Glance
- Back sleepers need a low to medium profile pillow that supports the natural neck curve
- A contoured pillow is often ideal - it cradles the neck without pushing the head forward
- Latex, memory foam, and cool gel provide the best sustained support for back sleeping
- Use the interactive guide below to get a personalised recommendation

The Challenge for Back Sleepers
A pillow that is too high pushes your head forward, straining the neck and closing airways. Too flat and your head falls backward, losing the natural cervical curve. The ideal back sleeper pillow is contoured or medium profile - high enough to support the neck curve but low enough to keep the head level with the spine.
Important Note
Back sleeping is not recommended for people with obstructive sleep apnoea, heavy snoring, or during late pregnancy. If you have any of these conditions, consider our side sleeper pillow guide instead.
Benefits of Back Sleeping
Around 38% of adults spend significant time sleeping on their back (Sleep Foundation) - and it offers some unique advantages.
Optimal Spinal Alignment
Back sleeping distributes weight evenly across the widest surface of your body, placing the least stress on the spine. With the right pillow, the head, neck, and spine maintain a neutral position all night.

Fewer Wrinkles and Breakouts
Because your face is not pressed into a pillow, back sleeping reduces the skin compression and friction that can cause sleep lines, wrinkles, and acne breakouts over time.

Reduced Joint Pressure
Back sleeping avoids concentrating weight on the shoulder, hip, or knee - making it a good option for people with joint pain, arthritis, or bursitis who find side sleeping uncomfortable.

Less Neck and Back Pain
A rounded pillow with built-in neck support that cradles the natural curve of the neck is one of the best ways to prevent back-sleeper neck pain, according to Harvard Medical School.

Better Breathing (with Elevation)
While flat back sleeping can worsen snoring, elevating the head slightly with a contoured pillow or wedge can open airways and reduce mild snoring and acid reflux symptoms.

Even Weight Distribution
Unlike side sleeping, which concentrates pressure on one shoulder and hip, back sleeping spreads your body weight across the full mattress surface - reducing the risk of pressure point pain.

Each fill type has a different feel, lifespan, and level of support. Understanding the differences helps you choose a pillow that suits the way you sleep.
Talalay Latex
Natural rubber latex with an open-cell structure that provides instant bounce-back support and excellent breathability. Holds its shape for years without flattening - one of the most durable fills available. Ideal for back sleepers who need reliable support to maintain neck alignment.
Hypoallergenic 5-10 Year LifespanView All
Memory Foam
Viscoelastic foam that softens with body heat and slowly moulds to the contours of your head and neck. Provides customised pressure relief. Particularly effective for people with chronic neck pain as it eliminates pressure points.
Hypoallergenic 3-5 Year LifespanView All
Cool Gel Memory Foam
Memory foam enhanced with a gel layer that absorbs heat, creating a noticeably cooler sleep surface for the first 20-60 minutes. Ideal for hot sleepers or anyone who finds traditional memory foam too warm, while retaining all the pressure-relieving benefits.
Hypoallergenic Cooling TechnologyView All
Feather and Down
Traditional fill offering a soft, mouldable feel associated with hotel-quality luxury. Down clusters are lighter and loftier while feather quills provide firmer support. Compresses over time and typically needs replacing every two to five years.
Not Hypoallergenic 2-5 Year LifespanView All
Wool
Natural wool fill that actively regulates temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture - warm in winter and cool in summer without any synthetic technology. Also naturally resistant to dust mites, mould, and mildew.
Hypoallergenic Temperature RegulatingView All
Microfibre (Down Alternative)
Synthetic polyester fibres engineered to mimic the soft, fluffy feel of natural down without the allergens. Machine washable, lightweight, and the most affordable option, though they compress faster and typically need replacing every one to two years.
Hypoallergenic 1-2 Year LifespanView All
Australian Pillow Sizes
Choosing the right size depends on your bed and sleeping style.
Standard
48 x 73 cm
The most common pillow size in Australia. Fits single, double, and queen beds. One standard pillow per person is typical.
King
51 x 91 cm
Wider than standard - ideal for people who toss and turn, or for king-size beds. More surface area for combination sleepers.
European
65 x 65 cm
Square shape. Primarily decorative - used for layering behind sleeping pillows. Also popular as a backrest for sitting up in bed.
Note: Contoured and memory foam pillows come in one size designed to fit standard pillowcases. Sizes above apply to traditional fill pillows.

Back Sleeper Tips for Better Sleep
Five practical adjustments to improve comfort and alignment.
1
Choose a contoured or medium profile pillow
Back sleepers do best with a pillow that has a slight contour to cradle the natural curve of the neck. A flat pillow provides no neck support, while one that is too thick pushes the head forward and strains the cervical spine.
2
Place a small pillow under your knees
A pillow under the knees takes pressure off the lower back by reducing the arch of the lumbar spine. This is especially helpful for people who experience lower back pain when lying flat.
3
Avoid pillows that are too high
A pillow that pushes your chin toward your chest restricts your airway and increases snoring. When lying on your back, your forehead and chin should be roughly level - not tilted forward.
4
Consider a wedge for acid reflux or snoring
If you experience mild snoring or acid reflux, elevating your head slightly (10-15 degrees) with a wedge pillow or adjustable base can help keep airways open and stomach acid down without compromising neck alignment.
5
Replace your pillow on schedule
Latex pillows last 5-10 years. Memory foam lasts 3-5 years. Feather and down last 2-5 years. Microfibre should be replaced every 1-2 years. An old pillow that has lost its shape cannot maintain proper neck support.
