About Bedgear Pillows

Which Bedgear pillow is which

Bedgear names its pillows by the job they do rather than by material. The Balance, Level and Rise are the everyday Performance pillows and the right starting point for most back and side sleepers: all three use moisture-wicking covers, and the Rise adds instant-cooling threads. The Storm, Aspen and Flow add mesh panels and air vents for continuous airflow. The Summit is flippable with a different feel on each side, the Cosmo has dual cooling layers plus a softer side and a firmer side, and the Beauty has a smooth Hyper-Silk cover shaped to reduce sleep lines. The Night Ice is the coolest-to-the-touch pillow in the range and the one we hand to people who flip their pillow over at two in the morning. If cooling is your main problem, the mattress under it matters too; see our cooling mattresses.

The Cuddle Curve versions of the Balance, Balance 3.X, Flow and Storm use a curved shape that contours to the body, which side sleepers who hug their pillow tend to prefer. The Astro pillow with its bonus pillowcase is sized for children, the hourglass-shaped Knee Pillow keeps a side sleeper's hips aligned, and The Body Pillow is a U-shaped, dual-sided option with a cozy side and a cooling side. For the road there are the Flow, Storm and U-NITE travel pillows, the Mavericks Night Ice travel pillow and a travel bag to keep them clean.

Getting the height right

  • Side sleepers need the most height, enough to fill the gap between ear and shoulder; broad shoulders usually mean the tallest option.
  • Back sleepers want a medium height that cradles the neck without pushing the chin forward.
  • Stomach sleepers should go as low as possible; the Low Standard bed pillow is often the right answer.
  • If your neck aches on a great mattress, the pillow is the usual culprit; pair the right height with a mattress for side sleepers or the feel you already know suits you.

Complete the bed

Most people who switch to a Bedgear pillow end up matching it with the rest of the Bedgear performance bedding we carry: the Hyper-Cotton, Dri-Tec and Ver-Tex sheet sets breathe the same way the pillows do, and a mattress protector from the same line keeps the whole system moisture-managing rather than trapping heat. You can try every loft on the floor at our Katy showroom and our Richmond showroom, and compare them against the wider pillow selection we stock from other brands.

Questions, answered

How do Bedgear pillow heights work?
Most Bedgear Performance pillows are sold in numbered lofts from 0.0 up to 3.0, so height is a choice rather than a gamble. The number is the height of the pillow, and you pick it from how you sleep and your shoulder width rather than from how the pillow feels in your hand. A fitting in store takes about a minute.
Which Bedgear loft number should I pick?
Your sleep position sets the number and your t-shirt size adjusts it for shoulder width. Stomach sleepers need the lowest loft, around 0.0, because the head is already turned and height only adds twist. Back sleepers sit in the middle at 1.0 to 2.0. Side sleepers need the most fill, 2.0 to 3.0, because the ear-to-shoulder gap is widest.
What is a Cuddle Curve pillow for?
Cuddle Curve pillows have a scooped edge, shaped for side sleepers who tuck an arm or a shoulder under the pillow. The curve gives the shoulder somewhere to go, so the head stays level instead of being pushed up out of line with the spine. Balance, Flow and Storm all come in a Cuddle Curve shape, most in the numbered lofts.
Which Bedgear pillow is coolest for a hot sleeper?
Night Ice is the coolest in the Bedgear range, pairing cooling gel with their React fill. Storm adds an instant-cooling Ver-Tex cover with Air-X mesh and air vents, while Aspen and Balance use a Dri-Tec cover that wicks moisture away rather than only feeling cool on contact. Flow is built around airflow, with a mesh gusset and vents.
Can you wash a Bedgear pillow?
Most Bedgear Performance pillows have a cover that unzips and goes in the machine, which is the part that needs washing. Unzip and remove the cover, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, then hang it to dry for best results. Leave the fill itself alone, and check the care note on the individual pillow page, as models differ.
What sizes do Bedgear pillows come in, and will they fit a normal pillowcase?
Standard is the common size here and several models also come in King. A standard Bedgear Performance pillow measures about 24 inches long by 16 inches wide, which fits an ordinary standard pillowcase, and a King pillow needs a king case. The travel pillows, the Astro kids pillow, the knee pillow and the body pillow are their own shapes.
Can someone fit me for a pillow in Katy or Richmond?
Yes, a loft fitting at any of our three showrooms takes about a minute and costs nothing. Tell a Certified Sleep Science Coach how you sleep and your usual t-shirt size, and they will put a number on your loft and then let you lie on it. Bring your current pillow along and compare it directly on the floor if you like.
