Questions about the Pillow
We believe that you should try our pillow (and all of our other products!) in the comfort of your home for 125 nights. If within those 125 nights, you decide the pillow isn’t for you, we’ll help you process your return and get a full refund. Learn more here.
All the foams we use are CertiPUR-US certified foams meaning they are made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP, or TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead or other heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They are also low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions for indoor air quality (less than 0.5 parts per million). You can learn more here.
Our foams are also high-performance, high-grade, breathable, polyfoams made in the USA and each foam core can feel very different from one another. They are all highly adaptive and temperature-responsive, rapidly adjusting to individual comfort needs (whether you're looking for that familiar memory foam feeling or something that's more reactive, we can make that happen). They will also vary in features, height, (and even colors!) depending on your results. For those who dislike foam pillows, not to worry – your personal foam core will only serve as the foundation for your fluffier pillow build.
We continuously innovate upon our foams and covers to ensure the pillow build you receive results in comfort and great sleep.
Most people report that our foams have no scent, while some notice a very mild scent. Should your pillow have a scent, it will go away quickly -- usually within a few hours in a well-ventilated room. Rest assured that the scent comes from fresh foam and not from harmful chemicals. Our foams are all CertiPUR-US certified foams.
Sure thing! Our pillows are a hybrid design (a pillow within a pillow) and a big part of this is the plush cover. There are different materials we use for the covers that result in smooth, soft, quilted, and cooling surfaces. Depending on your answers you may receive one with a eucalyptus lyocell smooth surface, a quilted knit surface, a cooling surface, and more!
No matter which cover you match with, each one features long, silky fibers. These fiber clusters are individually blown into the cover. Just how many fibers go into your individual pillow will also be based on your answers. Our pillows will give you the support you need with the plush comfort you want.
Once you complete the questionnaire, your data runs through our algorithm that generates your best variation back to us and helps us create a pillow for your unique sleep profile. However, since all of our pillows are made-to-order, there’s still a human element where we make sure your additional optional requests are taken into account before creating the final product (rather than just thickness or firmness). In other words, the item that appears in your cart is just a placeholder – rest assured your data is calculated on the backend. As of now, there are over 35 variations and we are always testing new materials.
Studies show that people often choose a pillow based on their immediate perception and comfort, which could be misleading and may lead to choosing an inappropriate pillow. Let us take care of this part and as long as you answer the questionnaire accurately, we recommend trusting the results, and taking advantage of the risk-free trial. #trusttheprocess
If you’ve just recently placed an order and feel like you should’ve answered differently, or if you’ve received your pillow and feel like it isn’t the right pillow for you, please email sleepy@plutopillow.com and we’ll help you out!
If you have a pillow in your cart but haven’t placed your order yet, you can change your answers in the questionnaire or start all over.
As with all sleep products, there could be an adjustment period. Although most of our customers love their pillow from the very first night, we recommend sleeping on your pillow for at least 2 weeks to best evaluate.
While our pillows are optimized to each customer’s sleep profile for comfort, we can’t (and wouldn’t want to) make any medical or health claims. Although nothing makes us happier than reading reviews from customers who say they no longer have pain, we strongly believe the most important step is to consult with your doctor for long term relief.
There can definitely be a time and place for down and latex, but as a hypoallergenic brand with customers who have shared allergic reactions to these materials, we intentionally do not utilize these materials in the making of any of our custom pillows. Instead, we use materials with newer technologies (and that don't trigger these reactions!). We also never wanted to launch with materials that have been traditionally used before – and that already do a great job in that space. However, if you're looking for a down or latex pillow, we completely understand as there are many great ones out there. Reach out for recommendations!
We also do not make contour shapes as we're still learning more about why a contour shape didn't (or did!) work out for our customers who switched to a Pluto Pillow. However, rest assured that with our builds, your head will still be nicely cradled.
Although the covers are machine washable, we still recommend using a regularly freshened pillowcase with your Pluto Pillow (check out our Eucalyptus pillowcases!). This helps prevent buildup that can weigh down the pillow (oils, dirt, skin cells, etc.), extends the time between cover washings, and would ensure your pillow maintains its performance.
Remove the cover from the foam (don’t wash the foam!) and throw it in the wash. Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. When that’s done, tumble dry in low heat. Please wash and dry separately from other items to prevent damage to the cover. We recommend doing this every 2-3 months or whenever you feel like your pillow needs a boost. In between, please fluff the pillow every few days to help maintain its structure. Voilà! A fresh and fluffy pillow!
