Why we rate it

The Synthetic Soft Touch Washable Standard Pillow is medium to firm: ideal for those who sleep on their back or side as it helps keep your spine aligned.

There's a soft to medium option too for those who prefer something more cosy, which is said to be a good option if you tend to sleep on your front.

The pillow is filled with polyester mini ball clusters that remain plump, while the brushed finish makes it soft on the skin.

Instead of using thread, John Lewis have also used ultrasonic technology to seal the seams of this pillow. This creates a consistent seam with a strong and high quality finish that ensures no loose threads, fraying or bulky joins.

It's also very easy to care for as it can be washed at 40°C in the washing machine when required.
