The NattieCurve™ Contoured Orthopedic Pillow

A recent poll showed that 80% of people experience neck pain in their life and an additional 80% experience tension headaches. Poor sleep alignment can be a primary cause of this, but most pillows do nothing to improve that.

How does that even make sense?

Of course, that would be okay if we all naturally slept aligned, but you know that isn't the case. Some pillows may keep you aligned if you're a side sleeper, some others if you're a back sleeper, but rarely do you come across a pillow that will keep all sleepers aligned.

Your body is a soldier. It works overtime to undo, correct, and fix your bad habits. The way you sit, the way you walk, and the way you sleep. But, like a credit card, your body can only accumulate so much debt before something has to give.

Here's what happens when you send a regular pillow to do the job of a NattieCurve™:

For a number of reasons, these pillows simply do not facilitate aligned sleep.

First, they do not provide adequate support — these pillows are often filled with microfibre or other low quality materials that tend to fall flat when you lie on them. You know, like those hotel pillows that you need to use 3-4 of just to feel supported. You can see how this would cause poor alignment.

Second, the "standard" pillow shape isn't catered to the natural alignment of your spine, neck, and head. In general, you want a pillow that gradually slopes up for a back sleeper. For a side sleeper, you actually want a pillow that is higher in the front and slightly lower in the back, to fit the shape your shoulder and head make together.

This improper support and alignment are the primary causes of neck pain and tension headaches. You probably have tried other solutions — a new mattress, physio appointments, and/or painkillers — none of which are cheap and definitely add up over time.

You don't need more helpful hints, tips, or tricks. You just need a pillow designed with you in mind.

If you ask a carpenter to make you a table it's going to be made out of wood. You ask a welder to do it, your table is going to be made out of metal. So when the legacy pillow makers try to make a pillow for side sleepers, they get so focused on making it look like a pillow that they forget to focus on the quality of sleep problem.

We didn't have that kind of baggage. We didn't have to unlearn 50 years of pillow design. Starting from scratch has its advantages. And the need for a "contoured" pillow was clear to us early.

The contoured shape allowed for perfect alignment for side, back, and stomach sleepers (and all combinations). The centre contour is perfect for keeping your head and neck in alignment when you're on your back or stomach. If you sleep on your side, the elevated bolsters fill your shoulder gap and the back gradually slopes down to fit the natural curvature of your head:

And the best part? If you sleep on your back and side, you can roll from the elevated side bolsters to the centre contour and maintain your spinal alignment in either position.

It's not just about the shape though. If it was just the shape that mattered, we would have used microfibre, down, or other materials that aren't supportive. However, we were on the hunt for the perfect foam blend. Not too hard (it would hurt your ear), not too soft (it wouldn't support your spine), and definitely not something too hot. It needed to be just right.

We tested ~50 different foam blends and firmness levels with people from all walks of life. Some started off promising and in the end all failed. It was so hard we nearly abandoned the project. In the end we did something experts told us we would never be able to do: we created our own proprietary blend.

This pillow couldn't have existed 5 years ago. There is a reason you didn't see us when you shopped for your last pillow. The technology behind the NattieCurve™ didn't exist.

We crafted this pillow to solve the support and alignment issues plaguing us and our loved ones — we saw the issues with current pillows and solved them meticulously one by one. We use only the highest certified memory foam. In fact the foam used for your NattieCurve™ is so high quality that it would retail for £3,000 if we were to build a mattress using it.

If you've made it this far, we want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing us to share our journey to create the perfect pillow with you.

There's a lot of pressure to buy now, act now. Don't feel rushed. We aren't going anywhere. And when you're ready we look forward to giving you the best quality sleep of your life. If you have any questions, you can reach me directly at nat@nattiesleep.co.uk and I can answer any questions you have!

And if you try it, and our pillow doesn't help you, no harm no foul. You can try it for 100 nights and get a full refund, no questions asked, if you don't like it.

We look forward to you joining the thousands that are sleeping better with Nattie.
