Buying a pillow online is a strange thing to do, because a pillow is a personal item. Everyone wants to try one before committing to it, and we understand that completely.
That is why every order comes with a 100 night trial, so you can test the pillow in your own bed, through every kind of week, and settle any doubts you have. The clock starts the day your parcel arrives, and you have 100 nights.
If you are not waking up more comfortable in that time, email support@sleepsake.co.uk and we will refund you in full. You can send back a pillow you have already slept on, we cover the return postage, and there is no restocking fee. You do not have to prove anything is wrong with it. Every pillow is covered for a year against defects as well.
Ergonomics, materials, cooling, durability — we put it side by side so you don't have to guess.

It's a personal choice and I don't want to influence anyone, but for me these pillows have actually made me look forward to sleeping. They say it takes a week to adjust to a new pillow; for me it was one night. I was struggling with shoulder pain for three years and it worked like magic. My only problem now is I travel frequently — how will I fit this in my bag? Hint hint… a travel Sleepsake pillow please 🙂
Ordered pillows and covers for my partner and I. We have been sleeping with them every night since arrival and are thoroughly impressed. We no longer wake up feeling stiff or with pins and needles. The quality is much higher than other brands we have tried.
This fantastic pillow made a difference to my shoulder pain from the first night I tried it. I really wasn't expecting anything much as nothing else - including lots of different pillows - had made any difference before. I was amazed to immediately notice the difference the first time I woke in the night without compression pain on that side!
I was skeptical about this and was thinking it was a bit firm and high. I turned it around because I have a short neck and it was perfect. No sore shoulder or neck in the morning. I now think I'm going to be one of those people who travels with their pillow.
I've tried all sorts of gimmicky pillows but this one is the real deal. After 3 nights getting used to it, my shoulders are getting a much needed reprieve from pressure and my neck feels more comfortable when sleeping.
I have had chronic pain in my neck, radiating to my shoulders, elbows and hands. Pain interrupted sleep, often woke up in pain or numb from the neck to the fingers. Symptoms had minimal response to physiotherapy. Improved sleep and pain symptoms from day one.
I bought this for my husband as he has neck and shoulder issues that were affecting his sleep. The butterfly pillow brought him instant relief the very first night he used it. No more getting up at 4am to sit in the recliner to relieve his discomfort. He loves it.
Very happy with the Butterfly Pillow. I was having real trouble with a bad shoulder while sleeping on my previous pillow. Now that is in the rear mirror with my new Sleepsake Butterfly Pillow. Very happy camper!
This is my second pillow for our holiday house. I cant sleep properly now without my Sleepsake pillow.
Absolutely love mine. And the pillow was very cooling too. Didn't get hot at all. Hubby didn't snore as much either, which is great!
A flat pillow leaves your body fighting its own weight all night. Four things happen:
Whatever your body does all night, this pillow can handle it.
Your head sits in a central cradle. Your neck rests on a raised contour. Your shoulder drops into a cut-out instead of getting crushed flat. Three shapes doing three jobs — on your side, or on your back.
Deep shoulder cut-outs give your shoulder the space it needs to drop in, instead of being crushed under your head all night.
No chin-tuck. No head-tilt.
Neck and spine, aligned all night.
The contoured profile keeps your neck and spine aligned whether you sleep on your back or on your side. The contour fills the cervical curve either way.
The average sleeper shifts position about ten times a night — most without fully waking up. Each time you roll, the raised wings catch your head and bring it back to the centre.
Whichever side you wake up on, you wake up well rested.
"Given me considerable relief if I sleep on my back."
— Jan
No more waking with your neck at a bad angle.
Your head doesn't stay where you put it. By morning your neck's been at the wrong angle for hours. But the central cradle in our pillow holds your head where you put it, all night long.
The Butterfly Pillow's built-in channels give your forearm somewhere to rest, so the joint stays open and the nerve stays free. That's how you avoid waking up with dead arm & pins-and-needles.
Turn the pillow around to switch between an 8cm and an 11cm side. Broader shoulders usually settle on the 11cm side; smaller frames on the 8cm side. Try both on night one — your body will tell you which one disappears underneath you.
Most people feel the difference in the first few nights. Some need a week or two to settle in. Either way — you've got 100 nights to decide.
By perfectly cradling your head, neck, and shoulders, the Sleepsake pillow eases muscle tension, supports natural spine alignment, and unlocks deeper, uninterrupted sleep. You'll not only fall asleep faster—you'll wake up energized, pain-free, and ready to take on the day.
Place your head in the center cavity with your neck supported by the raised contour. Adjust to the side or back position based on your sleeping style. Watch the how-to-use video.
Most customers adjust within a few nights. Some may take up to 1-2 weeks as their body adapts to the new, healthier posture.
Sleepsake pillow is crafted from high-quality, CertiPUR-US certified memory foam, which is hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, ensuring safety, comfort, and durability.
The pillow includes a removable pillowcase that's machine washable. Undo the middle button, slip the case off, and wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Air dry only — don't tumble dry. Watch how to change the pillowcase.
We stand behind our product with a 100-Night Happiness Guarantee. If you're not happy with your Sleepsake pillow, email us at support@sleepsake.co.uk within 100 nights of delivery for a full refund—easy returns, no restocking fees.

I am so impressed with my new butterfly pillow. I have 3 prolapsed discs in my neck following a 30 year+ nursing career. I have tried so many pillows that it’s almost a family joke when a new one arrives at the door. This is the first pillow that has fitted my neck and shoulder perfectly and allows me to wake with no headaches or neck pain. As you can see, I’m not the only one who loves the pillow!
13 years after shoulder surgery and I continue to have problems with that shoulder. In 13 yrs I have bought that many pillows I could open a pillow shop and none of them worked. I'd fight with pillows each night like a Kung Fu Panda!! The add for this pillow popped up in my fb feed. With 100 day guarantee for a full refund.. what did I have to lose. My thoughts were... is it soft or hard? It will probably take me atleast 2 weeks to get use to it. Ive never seen a pillow like it. I took it out of the box and waited for it to fully inflate. The first couple of nights I slept like a baby. I went from Kung Fu Panda to sleeping beauty. I noticed my shoulder less sore after a few days. I couldn't belive it. Not only has it helped my shoulder it has helped alot with my sinus issues. I wont be sending this one back. Its the most comfortable pillow I have slept on. Well done Sleepsake And Thank You
I wanted to write and thank you for my recent purchase. It is the most incredible thing I have ever purchased. I have suffered for 9 years with bursitis and rota cuff and tried everything except surgery to give me relief from pain at night. I have used your pillow for 2 nights with no pain it is amazing. Thank you. Candy Gazzola
Bought this for my 85 yr old husband. He has torn rotor cuffs in both his shoulders and the surgeon said they're too far gone for repair and he's too old for surgery. Sleep for him had become a nightmare and he always woke up exhausted from pain and lack of sleep. From the first night of using this pillow, he finally slept through. No more of him doing his Mick Jagger impersonations, - rocking and rolling and groaning all through the night! Now we both get a good nights sleep. I'm also glad I bought the set of pillow cases to keep it clean.
This pillow has the perfect balance — not too firm, not too soft. I’ve tried so many pillows over the years, including other ergonomic ones, and they were always either too stiff, too squashy, or left me waking up sore. With this one, it took me a couple of nights to find my sweet spot for both side and back sleeping, but once I did, there’s nothing else like it on the market. It’s so good that I now travel with it and avoid hotel pillows altogether, because they almost always used to give me shoulder or back pain. I genuinely don’t want to sleep on anything else.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect a pillow to do much—but the Sleepsake Butterfly Pillow was genuinely a great addition. From the very first week, I could feel the difference. Give it time! The butterfly shape works. My head and neck sink into it in a way that feels natural, supported, and unbelievably comfortable. The quality is just as impressive. The memory foam feels solid but plush, and unlike cheaper pillows I’ve tried, it doesn’t flatten out or lose its shape. The cover is soft, breathable, and easy to wash—little details that make it clear this is a well-thought-out product. Yes, it costs more than a regular pillow, but this isn’t just a regular pillow—it’s an upgrade. If you’re hesitating, don’t. I wish I had it sooner. 😊
I have chronic RA and severe osteoarthritis in my spine which means I have difficulty finding comfortable sleeping positions as my cervical spine is compromised Your pillow has given me considerable relief if I sleep on my back. However once I’ve fixed a current left shoulder problem I think I’ll be able to sleep on my side again which is my preferred position
I am a Physio and treat a LOT of necks! I have personally trialled multiple memory-foam and curved pillows over the years, but none provided the correct height or contour for my neck. This pillow has been the first to give consistent support. The central dip allows the head to settle in a neutral position, and the curved shoulder contour maintains good cervical alignment and genuine comfort around shoulders. The optional height layer is especially helpful for side lying. Since using it, I’ve had noticeably less neck stiffness and no morning discomfort. It’s comfortable in all sleeping positions and stays cool throughout the night, which reduces that “hot neck” feeling. Overall, it’s a well-designed option for anyone needing better neck support and positioning.
Best version of this type of pillow I bought Best version of this type of pillow I bought the wrong one from a different supplier but it was not as good as this one
It took a few nights to get used to as normally I slept with my arm under me. Getting frozen shoulder and bursitis I had to consider a whole new way to sleep sideways. I invested in the Sleepsake butterfly pillow. Now I sleep thru most of the night and I'm waking up feeling way better. No crushed shoulders and hoping that my shoulders can recover after awhile. Well worth the money and I dont get hot with this pillow I love how it cradles my neck. I had a fall a few years ago lost 2 inches in my neck. My neck now rests and feels very supported. Thank you Sleepsake 😊
I received my Sleepsake magic pillow today and I cannot thank Zoey and team enough for a remarkable product you have built. The design is so good and helps with any sleep posture. For me, I was always a back sleeper. But recently became a side sleeper and that caused shoulder discomfort. The Sleepsake pillow encourages me back to my original sleep posture and it’s just feels great ! Three Cheers to the Sleepsake team !!! Highly recommend Sleepsake to anyone wanting a deep restful sleep…
I bought this sleepsake butterfly pillow and the quality is very good and memory foam not to hard. There are two loft , one for the higher side and the other for the lower side. Unfortunately I am a very short person who has a very short neck. And don't get the full support, I did notice that I had no shoulder pain next morning. As your aware this butterfly pillow comes with 100 nights free trial and this is Awesome and it does state that any reason your not satisfied you can send it back, no questions asked. Like I said my neck was so short and after 3 days ,I emailed sleepsake explaining this. Within 15 minutes I had my full refund back into my account. I was actually amazed this was dealt with so quick and not one question asked. So if your un- sure about buying this and trying it out . Please don't wait, because you have 100 % nothing to loose. Thank you Sleepsake 10 - 10 experience. Kim
Amazing pillow. My husband bought it for me, and I can finally wake up pain free.
Best version of this type of pillow I bought Best version of this type of pillow I bought the wrong one from a different supplier but it was not as good as this one
I tried the Sleep Sake Pillow from my friend, and wow – it is like my neck finally found its soulmate! The way it cradles your head and balances your neck is pure magic. At first, my neck was like,Wait… what is this new fancy thing, it took a day or two to adjust to the structure. But now, total bliss! The soft, squishy texture feels like a gentle hug for your head. Honestly, it is like sleeping on a cloud that has been personally trained to comfort you. My only complaint is I keep falling asleep mid-conversation, but I guess that is on me, not the pillow! Highly recommend for anyone who wants their neck to feel VIP-level pampered.
The butterfly pillow by Sleepsake is so good that I am thinking of gifting this to my mum and dad. I haven't had such good sleep for sooo long. Pillow height and firmness is perfect for my body type. Highly recommend!
Sleeping on this pillow gave an instant improvement in my neck/base of skull pain and headaches, with no real settling in period. Fits inside my silk pillowcase so I can keep managing my very frizzy hair. I take it with me even when I travel now, and it compresses pretty well inside a roll up vacuum bag.
A bit early to give a true review, but so far I have found the Sleepsake pillow to be helpful with my rotator cuff injury. I'm a side sleeper and the pillow helps me sleep on the better side. Even though I still roll over on my bad shoulder, the pillow somehow wakes me up so I can correct my position. Because of the pillow forcing me to sleep on the correct side, I'm still getting used to the variation and not sleeping as well as I should, but I'm sure that will improve over time.
I really love mine but my husband isn’t a fan. He has gone back to using his old pillow. It took me some time to get use to. But I pushed through the initial few days and now I’m very happy with it.
I have been sleeping on SleepSake for over a month now. I bought two one for me and one for my daughter who has had neck and shoulder problems, and I have had shoulder problems. From the first night I found relief and so has my daughter. I am so happy with this pillow so far. I cannot complain
My husband is sleeping so much better. He's not snoring & is having a more comfortable sleep. However it doesn't seem to be helping his sore shoulder when he lies on it. He says the problem is you have to lie in the middle of the pillow & as we often 'snuggle' through the night, it doesn't work & he ends up on my pillow.
As soon as I put my head on my new Sleepsake pillow, I sank into heaven. I can not believe how comfortable it is. Not only that, it feels so luxurious on my skin. The support of my neck is wonderful and although I wondered about the dip area for my head, it’s perfect. I’m amazed by this pillow and it has definitely improved my nights sleep. I absolutely love it.
I am still trying to get used to it.
This is the best pillow I have ever purchased. I have tried other supportive pillows which don't last long and tend to sag in the middle. I sleep on my back and this pillow supports my neck and shoulders well. I have a peaceful sleep and don't toss and turn all night. This pillow allows me to sleep on my side If I want to. I always stock up on good pillows as they can be hard to find.
Wow I’m impressed tried so many different pillows and you spend a lot of money to do so and you get so disappointed every time but I have to say this one I actually got to sleep the whole night through shoulders and neck were fine in the morning. Very impressed.
Used to wake with pain in left shoulder every morning. 10 days in, and I haven't felt it since the first night. Works for me!
I was skeptical but was over my shoulder pain so, with the 100 night return policy thought it was worth giving it a try. I was prepared to give it the 100 nights to see if it would help me. I have found it worked from the first night which surprised me. I do still get the occasional twinge in my shoulders but now I look forward to going going to bed and being comfortable.
Not sure yet? Only had it a few weeks
Skeptical 🫤 but it’s my new favourite thing. it’s been 2 weeks and i am not waking up with shoulder pain. it took a few days to get used to it… now i love it
I was expecting a few nights of disrupted sleep while I got used to the pillow, but I reckon it was 2 nights at the most. Thoroughly enjoying it now, and wouldn't go back to any other pillow.
Extremely comfortable great buy
Very comfortable. It’s definitely helped!
After trying several pillows, l decided to try the sleep sake pillow as l was waking in the morning with shoulder pain. l also bought one for my husband and instantly we both felt relief after the first night we now no longer are waking with pain it’s only been a week. Amazing Thankyou. Donna
Can't loose with this one so comfortable. It's definitely a keeper. I was hoping to be able to sleep on my side but I find that the recommendation is still nearly lying on my back. But I'm sleeping a lot better. Thank you.
I’ve had several neck and shoulder injuries plus a jaw injury, which have made sleeping a challenge. I’ve tried many pillows and so far this one has helped me the most. I used to wake up often with a bad tension headache, tight neck, jaw & shoulder muscles. I’ve only had the pillow a couple of weeks but it’s made a big difference. Try it!
I was sceptical initially as l have purchased a different pillow which didn’t help but, l feel the sleepsake is working well. My shoulder pain has significantly reduced and l don’t mind sleeping in a less elevated position. So thanks and l will keep using the butterfly pillow.
LUV LUV MY PILLOW TOOK A COUPLE NIGHTS TO MOULD ILLAR TO MY BODY WILL TAKE IT EVERYWHERE I GO NOW EVEN TO SOUND HEALING THANK YOU BLESS YOU ALL NAMASTE XOXO ❤️💙🙏✌️
I was a bit skeptical about just how good the pillow would be but with a money back guarantee thought i'd give it a try. First night I had the best nights sleep in ages and no shoulder pain in the morning. The pillow stopped me from putting my arms above my head which made my shoulder pain worse. After using for 2 weeks i'm very happy.
Found this product amazingly keeping head nestled very comfortably at night thus minimal movements. Still experiences fewer shoulder discomforts but much reduced compared to pre-sleepsake. Still a wise decision to have purchased this as my Father’s Day gift for myself and one for my wife!
I ordered this pillow to help with my neck pain but when I first tried it, I couldn't adjust to the shape. As per the promise, I tried to return it. The team at Sleepsake asked for feedback but didn't hesitate to process a refund. They told me to keep the pillow, or pass it to someone else. I'm so glad they wouldn't take the pillow back, as after a particularly acute issue with my neck, out of desperation I gave the pillow another go. Amazingly, it helped, and has now become my regular pillow. My neck is so much better. If you are a side sleeper I highly recommend trying this pillow. It is an adjustment but it does make all the difference.
