It Arrived Flat: What to Expect When You Unbox a Support Pillow
Every support pillow we make ships vacuum-compressed to survive the box. It needs 24 hours to expand.
Give it 24 hours
Unpack it and give it 24 hours to expand, with a shake or two along the way. Judge the loft after that, not before.
After the day, it's a setting
Once it has had its 24 hours, how full it feels is something you can change. Every pillow here has a zipped inner casing — take fill out to soften it, add more to firm it up.
Where to go from here
Care & Washing has the exact care line for each product, and How to Wash a Pregnancy Pillow covers the cover and the pillow itself. Still choosing? Compare all five side by side, or answer a few questions in Find Your Support Type.
FAQ
Q · How long does a pregnancy pillow take to expand?
Give it 24 hours after unpacking, and shake it out a couple of times along the way. It isn't ready to judge before then.
Q · It's been a day and it still feels too firm, or too soft. What now?
Open the zip on the inner casing and adjust the fill — out to soften, in to firm up. Each product page explains what's inside.
Q · Does every size ship compressed?
Yes. Every support pillow we make ships vacuum-compressed, whatever the shape or length.
