1. A thin pillow can leave your head sitting too low.
The bone-setting practitioner in this clip uses a spine model beside someone lying on their side. First, he shows the head tilting down on a thin pillow. Then he switches to Pillowblox and demonstrates a more level position.
That is the shoulder-gap problem in plain view. Your pillow needs enough height to support your head while your shoulder rests on the bed.
2. The block shape gives that gap a structured support surface.
Once you see the gap, the straight-edged shape makes sense. Pillowblox is built around the space between a side sleeper’s head and mattress, rather than relying on a rounded, fluffy profile.
Its structured core is designed to keep the support area consistent. You should still check the fit on your own mattress.
3. Soft or firm? You can try both without buying another pillow.
Jimmy Tham points out the two sides: soft and firm. He explains that you can choose according to your preference, whether you like the feel of natural latex or memory foam.
It is a practical choice you can make on your own bed. Flip the pillow, compare how each side supports your head, and use the feel that suits you.
4. Natural latex and memory foam give those two sides a different feel.
The choice Jimmy describes comes from the core’s materials. Natural latex provides a more responsive firm-side feel. Advanced memory foam gives the soft side a more contouring response.
Both sides keep the block-shaped profile. The soft side is still supportive; it will feel different from a puffy hotel pillow.
5. Too low and too high can both be the wrong fit.
This practitioner’s explainer shows both ends of the problem: a pillow that lets the head drop towards the bed, and one that pushes it too high. More height is not automatically the answer.
Pillowblox Original starts at 10.5 cm. Lie on your side on your own mattress and check where your head rests. Your shoulder shape and how far you sink into the mattress affect the height you need.
6. The cover is made for nightly comfort and straightforward care.
Original uses a soft, breathable Tencel cover. The cover comes off and can be washed according to its care label. Keep the latex and memory-foam core out of the washing machine.
For hot side sleepers, Cooling keeps the same core and adds a PolarCool cover for a cooler surface feel. The cooling sensation varies with your room, body heat and additional fabric layers.
7. You can hear a chiropractor’s own side-sleeping experience.
Dr. Kimberley Looi explains her experience as a side sleeper after a shoulder injury. She says Pillowblox reduced pressure on her shoulder and helped support her neck, pointing to the thick side profile.
She also likes being able to choose the soft or firm side. This is her personal experience, and it gives you a concrete example of the features she pays attention to. Your own comfort and fit can differ.
8. There is an extra-height option when your setup needs it.
If the Original’s 10.5 cm profile still feels too low, the optional Extra Layer adds 2.5 cm, bringing the total pillow height to 13 cm. It is sold separately.
Use it when your head position suggests that you need more lift. If your head is already pushed upwards, adding height is unlikely to improve the fit. Ask the team if you are unsure.
9. Your pillow and mattress need to work as a setup.
This chiropractor’s point is broader than the pillow alone: sleeping posture matters, and both the mattress and pillow affect where your head rests. He discusses keeping the head in line with the body and says he has tried Pillowblox for several days.
Use that as a fit check. Think about your sleeping position, shoulder shape, mattress and preferred firmness together. Tell the Pillowblox team about your setup if you need help choosing.
10. You can make the final decision on your own bed.
The videos show how practitioners explain the product and, in some cases, their own experience. Your mattress, shoulders and comfort preference still make your fit personal.
