Memory foam pillow

Memory foam pillow generally refers to a synthetic pillow or memory foam cushion, which adapts to the sleeping position and sleep of its user. The pillow in our range closest to a memory foam pillow is our Alliance synthetic pillow.

At Dumas Paris, we have chosen to offer pillows adapted to each sleeper profile. They are similar to memory foam pillows, but are even more personalized (several fillings and firmnesses possible), with high-quality materials.

By answering the short questionnaire 'your ideal pillow' on the 'pillows' tab of this site, you will be sure to find a pillow that suits you. And if you want even more customization, you can also order, better than a memory foam pillow, a completely custom-made pillow. We will make it to your dimensions and with the desired firmness.

Custom-made products are made within ten days maximum and shipped to your home or to the relay point of your choice. Be careful when taking your measurements: custom-made products cannot be returned (no exchange or refund). Our exclusive GSD® patent is available on request: it is a double envelope with a non-woven interior treated for maximum hygiene. The GSD® process helps fight against dust mites and limits the risk of allergies.

Memory foam pillows

What is a memory foam pillow?

A memory foam pillow is made from viscoelastic polyurethane foam, originally developed by NASA for astronauts. This foam moulds to the shape of the head and neck, providing assured, personalised support. However, this type of pillow is not suitable for all sleepers. It's important to understand that a memory foam pillow is just one of the many options available to ensure a comfortable and restful night's sleep.

Should I opt for a memory foam pillow?

Memory foam pillows offer a specific type of comfort that may suit certain types of sleeper. However, it is essential to remember that the comfort of a pillow should be chosen according to each person's morphology and sleeping habits. The memory foam pillow, with its visco-elastic foam filling, offers firm, resilient comfort combined with a low height. It is suitable for certain needs, but not universal. However, if you do need one, you can request a quotation for a memory foam pillow from Maison Dumas by email.

The visco-elastic pillow offers unique comfort

The visco-elastic foam filling offers firm comfort, thanks to its high resistance and resilience. This type of comfort is generally suitable for larger people, who need a pillow that is firm and can support the weight of their head. However, large people often need a high pillow to keep their head at the right height, which a traditionally low memory foam pillow cannot always offer. Smaller people, on the other hand, will need a pillow that is very flexible, so that it doesn't offer too much resistance to a light-weight head. The visco-elastic memory foam pillow is just that: strong and firm.

How do I choose a pillow?

The choice of pillow should be based primarily on body shape and sleeping habits. Smaller people will prefer soft pillows, which can collapse easily, while larger people will prefer firm, high pillows to keep their head level with their neck and spine. For those who sleep on their stomach, a soft pillow is recommended so as not to raise the chest and lumbar region too much.

Opt for an adapted pillow rather than a memory pillow

Every sleeper has unique comfort needs. These needs can be grouped into large families: those who want a pillow with soft comfort, a pillow with supple comfort or a pillow with firm comfort. Memory foam pillows fall into the category of firm pillows and are therefore suitable for a specific sleeper profile. There is no such thing as universal comfort, and the memory foam pillow offers a very specific level of comfort, adapted to certain needs.

What size memory foam pillow should I use?

Memory foam pillows are traditionally rectangular in shape, although some models are square. The choice of pillow shape is crucial and determines how comfortable you are at night. A rectangular shape is best suited to people who sleep on their side, as the pillow nestles directly into the nape of the neck, keeping the head level with the spine. For those who sleep on their back or stomach, a square pillow is recommended to avoid creating tension in the cervical spine.

How do I care for a memory foam pillow?

Taking care of a memory foam pillow requires special precautions. It is generally recommended not to machine wash it, but to clean it with a damp cloth. On the other hand, pillows with a natural or synthetic fibre filling, such as those offered by Dumas Paris, are easier to wash and maintain, ensuring optimum hygiene. They can be machine-washed and tumble-dried regularly.
