Key takeaways
- Yourzzz is one pillow that you make lower and softer at home by removing memory foam flakes and polyester fibers. The extra filling stays in a storage bag, so you can adjust again later.
- You order first. After delivery, a calculator uses your height, weight, sleeping position and mattress firmness to tell you how much filling to remove.
- You can try it for 100 nights, and a 5-year warranty covers material and production faults.
Who makes Yourzzz?
Yourzzz is a brand of United Comfort Industries, based in Zevenbergen, the Netherlands. The company calls itself "The Pillow People" and has made pillows since 1990. The Yourzzz pillow is developed and produced in the Netherlands.
The algorithm behind the calculator was developed by Dutch physiotherapist Thijs van der Hilst. He compares pillow sizing to shoe sizing: a store that sells one size rarely has yours. You can read more on the story behind the pillow.
Why does one pillow not fit everyone?
A pillow that is too high or too low leaves a gap, or a bend, between your shoulder, neck and mattress. Your shoulder width, body size and mattress all change how much space the pillow has to fill. A firm mattress pushes your head up less than a soft one, where your shoulder sinks in. A side sleeper needs more height than a back sleeper, and a stomach sleeper usually needs the least.
That is why a fixed-height pillow works well for some people and poorly for others. Loft, the height of the pillow once your head is on it, is the main thing that varies.
Here is what we do not claim. A pillow that fits is about comfort and support. It is not a treatment, and research on pillow height and pain is limited. If you have neck pain that lasts, pain that spreads into your arm, numbness, or pain after an injury, see a healthcare provider. A pillow will not replace that. For more on how sleep and pillows connect, see our sleep guide.

The two sides of the inner cover give you a choice. One side feels firmer and the other softer, so you can turn the pillow over to find what suits you. If you want to know more about this type of filling, read our guide to the shredded memory foam pillow.
How do you adjust a Yourzzz pillow?
You do not need to work out a size before you buy. You order the pillow, and the fitting happens at home. Here is the process.
- Order the pillow. One pillow comes with the filling it needs for adjusting.
- Use the calculator. When the pillow has arrived, open the calculator and enter your height (inches), weight (lbs), sleeping position (side, back or stomach) and mattress firmness (soft, medium or firm).
- Take out the filling. The calculator tells you how much to remove. Use a kitchen scale; the calculator also shows the final weight of the pillow. Without a scale, a 200 ml (6.8 fl oz) glass holds about 50 g (1.8 oz) of filling.
- Keep the extra filling. Put it in the storage bag. If your mattress, weight or sleeping position changes, you can adjust again later.
Removing filling makes the pillow lower and softer. If you later want it higher, you can order extra filling separately. Our guide to adjustable pillows explains more about finding the right height.
Does it work for side, back and stomach sleepers?
The calculator asks for your sleeping position because each position needs a different height. We have a separate page for each one:
If you change position during the night, choose the one you fall asleep in. That is the position the calculator asks about.
What if it does not suit you?
You have 100 nights to decide. If you are not satisfied, you can return the pillow. There is no prepaid label, so return shipping is at your expense, and you include the return form. The refund goes to your original payment method 5 to 7 business days after we receive the return.
The 5-year warranty covers material and production faults. Normal wear and changes in firmness are not covered. For hygiene, replace the pillow after 5 years at most. Some people replace it every 3 years. Our page on how often to replace pillows goes into this.
How do you care for it?
Take off the outer cover and machine wash it at 104°F (40°C). The inner cover and the filling cannot be washed. Our care guide has the details.
