Memory Foam Pillows: Personalised Support for Better Sleep

There’s nothing worse than waking up with a stiff neck, sore shoulders, or an aching back. While many people blame their mattress, the real culprit is often their pillow. If your pillow doesn’t support your head and neck properly, it can throw your whole body out of alignment. That’s where memory foam pillows come in — and at Jason, we offer affordable, high-quality options designed to give every Australian a more restful, supported sleep.

Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or somewhere in between, a memory foam pillow can adapt to your shape and sleep style to reduce pressure, promote proper alignment, and deliver comfort that lasts night after night.

 

What is a Memory Foam Pillow?

Memory foam pillows are made from viscoelastic polyurethane foam — a special material originally developed by NASA. It responds to body heat and pressure, allowing it to mould to the shape of your head and neck and then slowly return to its original shape once pressure is removed.

Unlike traditional polyester or feather pillows, memory foam provides customised support, maintaining proper spinal alignment throughout the night.

There are different types of memory foam pillows available at Jason, including:

  • Traditional solid memory foam: Dense and contouring, ideal for support
  • Shredded memory foam: More breathable and adjustable
  • Gel-infused memory foam: Helps regulate temperature for hot sleepers

 

Benefits of Memory Foam Pillows

Switching to a memory foam pillow can have a huge impact on the quality of your sleep — and your overall wellbeing. Here’s why Jason customers love them:

1. Superior Neck and Spine Alignment

Memory foam cradles your head and supports the natural curve of your neck, keeping your spine aligned whether you sleep on your back or side.

2. Pressure Relief

The contouring effect of memory foam distributes pressure evenly, reducing tension in your shoulders, neck, and jaw — perfect for anyone with chronic pain or tension headaches.

3. Hypoallergenic and Dust-Mite Resistant

Memory foam naturally resists allergens like dust mites and mould, making it an excellent option for allergy and asthma sufferers.

4. Durability

Unlike standard pillows that flatten and lose shape quickly, Jason memory foam pillows bounce back night after night, giving you consistent support for years.

5. Motion Absorption

Memory foam doesn’t bounce or shift, which means fewer disturbances if you share a bed with a partner who moves during the night.

Who Should Use a Memory Foam Pillow?

Memory foam is especially beneficial for:

  • Side sleepers who need higher loft and neck alignment
  • Back sleepers looking for contouring support without strain
  • People with neck, shoulder or upper back pain
  • Allergy sufferers needing hypoallergenic bedding
  • Anyone who wakes up feeling stiff, sore, or unrested

Even stomach sleepers can use a memory foam pillow — look for a low-profile, soft-density version for minimal neck tilt.

 

Jason Memory Foam Pillow Options

At Jason, we offer a carefully selected range of memory foam pillows designed to meet different sleep needs, budgets, and comfort preferences.

1. Classic Memory Foam Pillow

Our go-to design for all-round comfort. It gently cradles your head and provides medium-firm support for most sleep styles.

2. Contoured Memory Foam Pillow

Shaped with a curve to support the neck and shoulders — ideal for side and back sleepers. Reduces tension and encourages optimal posture.

3. Shredded Memory Foam Pillow

Adjustable and breathable. You can remove or add foam to customise the height and feel. Great for combination sleepers or those who like a softer texture.

4. Cooling Gel Memory Foam Pillow

Infused with cooling gel particles to help regulate heat — perfect for hot sleepers or warm climates.

All Jason memory foam pillows come with removable, machine-washable covers for easy care and hygiene.

How to Care for Your Memory Foam Pillow

To keep your pillow in top shape, follow these simple care tips:

  • Do not machine wash the foam itself — it can break down the structure
  • Spot clean stains with mild soap and cold water
  • Air out regularly to keep it fresh (memory foam is odour-absorbing)
  • Use a pillow protector in addition to the removable cover for longer life
  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as it can degrade the foam over time

FAQs About Memory Foam Pillows

Q: Will memory foam make me hot at night?

A: Traditional memory foam can retain heat, but Jason’s gel-infused and shredded memory foam options are designed for better airflow and cooler sleep.

Q: Do memory foam pillows have a chemical smell?

A: Some new memory foam products may have a slight odour initially (called off-gassing), but this disappears within a few days. Air it out before first use.

Q: How long does a memory foam pillow last?

A: Jason memory foam pillows typically last 2 to 3 years or more, depending on use and care.

Q: Can kids use memory foam pillows?

A: We recommend memory foam for older children (7+ years) with proper pillow height. Always opt for a low-loft, soft version for younger users.

 

Signs It’s Time to Upgrade Your Pillow

Still not sure if you need a memory foam pillow? Here are some tell-tale signs your current pillow isn’t cutting it:

  • You wake up with neck or shoulder pain
  • Your pillow has gone flat or lumpy
  • You constantly adjust your pillow during the night
  • You wake up hot and uncomfortable
  • Your pillow is over 18–24 months old

A quality pillow should support your body and feel good to sleep on — if it’s not doing that, it’s time to upgrade.
