Where can I get my pillow measured?
You can get your pillow measured at a Pillowise retailer, or work out your size yourself with PillowScan. You will find the retailers on our retailer map.
Why get measured at all? Shoulder width, neck circumference and neck length are different for everyone. Then there are your sleeping position and your mattress. A pillow height that suits your body supports your neck and head comfortably while you sleep. It is not a cure, but it is a good foundation for lying comfortably.
How does measuring work at Pillowise?
Pillowise determines your size with three measurements.
| Measurement | How it is measured |
|---|---|
| Shoulder width | around the curve of your back, with the tape measure not pulled tight |
| Neck circumference | once all the way around your neck |
| Neck length | from the bottom of your ear to the tip of your 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 pillow that fits best. 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 can I find Pillowise retailers?
At chiropractors, physiotherapists, sleep specialists, wellness practices and specialty retailers. All addresses are on the retailer map. Here is how it looks by country:
| Country | Where you can get measured |
|---|---|
| Germany, Austria | at retailers in many regions, see the map |
| Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Greece, Poland, France | at a few individual retailers, see the map |
| USA | at chiropractors and physiotherapists, see pillowise-usa.com |
| Other countries | measure yourself with PillowScan (see below) |
Find retailers on our retailer map. If there is no retailer in your country yet, measure yourself with PillowScan or email info@pillowise.com.
The measuring there is done with the Pillowise tape measure. You can also read what a made-to-measure pillow means at Pillowise.
What if there is no retailer 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 does not have a web shop 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 is just three measurements. How much time you should set aside overall depends on the retailer, so we do not give a standard duration. Where there is a display with all six pillows, you can try lying down on your size and, for comparison, on another size.
Can I also 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 can also find the measuring guide on Taking measurements.
So: where do I get my pillow measured?
At a retailer near you, or at home with PillowScan. If you sleep well on your pillow and wake up relaxed, you do not need to change anything. If you have ongoing neck or shoulder discomfort, please have the cause checked by a doctor. A pillow is not a substitute for that.
Work out your size yourself or find a retailer.
