Flamingo

About the Flamingo pillow

The Flamingo pillow is a fibre filled pillow from the Vitafoam range. What a fibre pillow does well is simple. The filling is light, air moves through it, and it plumps back into shape when you shake it out in the morning. That makes it a sensible pillow for anyone who does not want a firm foam surface under the head.

Fibre also keeps a pillow from feeling cold at night. The open filling also means the surface does not hold the heat of your head the way a dense block does.

Who the Flamingo pillow suits

It suits back and side sleepers who like a soft headrest, and it works well for a guest room because the filling recovers after each visitor. Children moving from a cot pillow to a full pillow also do well with a light fibre fill. If you sleep on your stomach, this kind of pillow keeps the chin off the chest because it does not stand tall.

Choosing a fibre pillow

Two pillows used together hold their height better than one pillow folded in half. They are also easier to wash and dry than a single heavy pillow. If you want more height under the neck, choose a denser fibre filling rather than stacking three light pillows. Three light pillows together tend to feel lumpy.

Caring for the pillow

Plump the pillow every morning and air it regularly. Wash by hand when it needs a full clean, then dry it flat in the shade until the filling is dry through. A protector under the pillowcase cuts down how often the pillow itself needs washing.

Delivery and warranty

Orders go out from Vitafoam showrooms and distributors across the country. Your delivery window is confirmed at checkout, and the box paperwork states the warranty that applies to the pillow.

For a fuller fibre filling, the Vita Pama fibre pillow carries more density, and the fibre pillow range lists every model. World Sleep Day publishes free guidance on pillow choice at worldsleepday.org.
