Firm Support Gusseted Pillows, Black

About this pillow

Everything on this page follows from one decision: pack a gusseted shell densely enough that the loft survives a night. That is what separates a firm pillow from a soft one, and it is the whole of the difference.

It comes in 4 sizes: Standard, Queen, King and 20 x 30 in. Where the packaging states a measurement we print it in the table below, and where two of our own sources disagree about a size the cell says so rather than naming one. 20 x 30 in is 20 x 30 in.

The piping runs the full length of the gusset in black, and it is the only thing that changes between this model and the rest of the shelf. Fill, shell and stitching are identical across every colour in the range.

It goes in a domestic washing machine, comes out of a tumble dryer on low without clumping, arrives vacuum sealed and takes about a day to reach full loft. The whole pillow, shell and fill, is certified to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.

Customer ratings for this line average 4.4 across 57,263 ratings. That figure covers every size and colour in the line rather than this one on its own, because ratings are pooled across a line, and splitting them by colour would suggest a precision the number does not have.

The piping colour is the only difference between the models on this shelf. The fill, the shell and the stitching are the same across all of them.

Where a figure is missing from the table above, it is missing from the packaging rather than from this page. The rest of the Viewstar firm support range is written to the same rule.
