Where can I get my pillow measured?
You can get your pillow measured at a Pillowise stockist, or work out your size yourself with PillowScan. You'll find the stockists on our stockist map.
Why get measured at all? Shoulder width, neck circumference and neck length are different for everyone. Then there's your sleeping position and your mattress. The right pillow height helps keep your head and cervical spine in line and gives your shoulder room. It's not a cure, but it is a good foundation for comfortable lying.
How does measuring work at Pillowise?
Pillowise determines your size with three measurements.
| Measurement | How it's measured |
|---|---|
| Shoulder width | around the curve of the back, with the tape measure sitting loosely rather than tight |
| Neck circumference | once fully around the neck |
| Neck length | from the bottom of the ear to the tip of the shoulder |
On top of that come your sleeping position (back, side or stomach) and your mattress (soft, medium or firm). An algorithm uses these to choose the best-fitting pillow. There are six sizes, each with its own colour: pink, orange, green, blue, red and purple. You can read more about the pillow under Your pillow measurements, and our article Calculating pillow height explains how the height is worked out.
Where are the Pillowise stockists?
At chiropractors, physiotherapists, sleep specialists, wellness practices and specialist retailers. All addresses are on the stockist map. Here's how it looks by country:
| Country | Where you can get measured |
|---|---|
| Germany, Austria | at stockists in many regions, see the map |
| Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Greece, Poland, France | at selected stockists, see the map |
| Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Australia | through the Pillowise partner in the country and its stockists |
| USA | at chiropractors and physiotherapists, see pillowise-usa.com |
| other countries | measure yourself with PillowScan (see below) |
There, you're measured with the Pillowise tape measure. You can also read on our site what a made-to-measure pillow means at Pillowise.
And if there's no stockist in my country yet?
Then work out your size yourself with PillowScan. Open scan.pillowise.com on your phone or scan the QR code. Pillowise doesn't have a webshop for consumers. So please email us at info@pillowise.com and ask how you can order in your country.
How long does measuring take?
It's just three measurements. How much time you should allow in total depends on the stockist, so we don't give a fixed duration. Where a display with all six pillows is set up, you can try lying on your size and, for comparison, another size.
Can I measure myself at home?
Yes, with PillowScan. The tool runs on scan.pillowise.com and guides you through the three measurements, your sleeping position and your mattress. You'll also find the measuring guide under Taking measurements.
So: where do I get my pillow measured?
At a stockist near you, or at home with PillowScan. If you sleep well on your pillow and wake up feeling relaxed, there's nothing you need to change. If you have ongoing neck or shoulder complaints, please have the cause checked by a doctor. A pillow is no substitute for that.
Work out your size yourself or find a stockist.
