7 Benefits of a Memory Foam Pillow (and Who Each One Suits)

Memory foam pillow

Memory foam pillow

A memory foam pillow responds to the pressure and warmth of your head, moulds to your shape, then slowly returns to its original form. At Dentons, we have been designing and manufacturing pillows in Australia for over 40 years, and our memory foam range is built around that slow, adaptive feel. Here are seven reasons sleepers choose it.

1. It moulds to your head and neck

Memory foam conforms to your shape instead of pushing back evenly like a fibre pillow. That helps hold your head in line with your spine through the night.

Best for: sleepers who want a pillow that adapts to them, not the other way around.

2. It spreads the weight of your head

Because the foam takes the shape of your head and neck, it spreads their weight over a larger contact area rather than concentrating it in a few spots.

Best for: sleepers who find standard pillows feel hard in one place and flat in another.

3. It reshapes every time you change position

If you move between your side and back during the night, a fixed shape can only suit one position. Memory foam slowly reconforms each time you settle. The Impressions Multi Profile is designed for sleepers who move freely through the night.

Best for: combination sleepers. Browse the all sleepers collection.

4. Open cell foam lets air move through it

Dentons memory foam uses an open cell structure, with connected channels that let air move through the pillow rather than trapping it against your head.

Best for: sleepers who flip their pillow looking for the cooler side.

5. It holds its shape, backed by a five-year guarantee

Every Dentons pillow comes with a five-year replacement guarantee from the date of purchase, whether bought from Dentons or an authorised stockist. Proof of purchase is required. See our return policy for details.

Best for: anyone tired of replacing flattened pillows.

6. The cover comes off and goes in the wash

Every Dentons memory foam pillow includes a removable cover. Machine wash the cover warm, and spot clean the foam itself with a damp cloth. Extra covers in cotton and velour are available in our accessories range.

Best for: sleepers who want an easy-care pillow.

7. There is a profile for every sleeping position

Dentons offers seven memory foam pillows. Choose by how you sleep:

  • Side sleepers, medium to high pillow: Impressions Medi Rest.
  • Side sleepers, medium to large frame: Impressions High Profile.
  • Side or back sleepers, small to medium frame: Impressions Low Profile.
  • Combination sleepers: Impressions Multi Profile.
  • Side and back sleepers who want memory foam and Softecâ„¢ together: Ultime, co-moulded from both foams.

Compare all seven in the memory foam range, or shop by side sleepers or back sleepers.

Memory foam or Softecâ„¢?

Softecâ„¢ is Dentons' own patented foam blend, soft to the touch yet supportive, and every pillow in our Therapeutic Range is moulded from it. Memory foam has a slower, more moulding feel. If you want both, Ultime combines them in one pillow.
