Key takeaways
- Side, back and stomach positions each need a different pillow height, so a pillow you can adjust is a practical choice if you switch during the night.
- You adjust Yourzzz at home, after it arrives, and you keep the extra filling in the storage bag.
- A pillow supports your neck, but it will not solve every sleep problem.
Why is it hard to find a pillow for combination sleepers?
Most pillows are made for one position. Side sleepers usually need more height to fill the gap between shoulder and head. Back sleepers usually need less, and stomach sleepers the least. If you move between them, a pillow that is right for one position can be a poor fit for the others.
We can't point to research showing that one pillow type is better for combination sleepers. What we can say is that a pillow that is too high or too low leaves a gap or a bend between shoulder, neck and mattress. Fit is the goal.
Which position should you adjust for?
For Yourzzz, you enter the position you fall asleep in. That is the position you spend the most deliberate time in, and it gives you a clear starting point. The inner cover also has a firmer side and a softer side, so you can flip the pillow if one feels better in another position. If you want the background first, our guide to adjustable loft explains how height and fit work together, and the Yourzzz sleep guide covers sleep more broadly.
How is the Yourzzz pillow adjusted?
- Order the pillow. You do not need to measure anything beforehand.
- Use the calculator. Once the pillow has arrived, enter your height, weight, sleeping position and mattress firmness (soft, medium or firm).
- Remove the filling. Take out the recommended amount, using a kitchen scale. Without a scale, a 200 ml (6.8 fl oz) glass holds about 50 g (1.8 oz) of filling.
- Keep the rest. Store the extra filling in the storage bag so you can adjust again later.
The filling is premium memory foam flakes and polyester fibers. Removing filling makes the pillow lower and softer. The algorithm was developed by Dutch physiotherapist Thijs van der Hilst.

When will a pillow not help?
If you wake with ongoing pain, numbness or tingling, see a healthcare provider. A pillow only changes how your head and neck are supported. Our page on waking up with neck pain lists what else you can check.
