Summer Pillows

You can boost the cooling qualities of your summer pillows by dressing them in naturally temperature-regulating pillowcase materials like linen or cotton. 

We love sticking to the summery theme with sunshine colours like yellow and blue or keeping things classic with crisp, cool white pillowcases.

Piling your pillows two-high makes your bed look extra inviting, especially when you nestle a decorative cushion between each pile. For more tips on creating the most beautiful bed, our bedding style guide has lots of inspiration.

Pick out the perfect pillows for summer with our size guide. This will help you match your lightweight pillows to the size and style of your bed for a lovely and cohesive look.

Our Bedding Size Guide

If you’re using pillowcases and protectors, your summer pillows shouldn’t need washing too often.

Our pillows are machine washable at 40 degrees, although we recommend taking them to a professional cleaner as they can be surprisingly heavy when wet and might be too much for your domestic machine. 

Our Pillow Care Guide

Summer pillows have fillings that allow for air circulation, keeping their temperature nice and regulated for your comfort. 

We know sleep doesn’t always come easily in hot summer, but it’s so important to get a restful eight hours. So, treat yourself to a cool and comfy pillow for mental clarity, boosted energy and a cheery mood to enjoy your summer days.

Struggling to sleep in summer is just the worst. After all, you want plenty of energy to enjoy the lovely, long summer days.

So, make sure you’re practicing proper sleep hygiene, turning off devices an hour before bed and sticking to a reliable bedtime routine. Summer bedding made from natural, temperature-regulating materials, such as our lovely summer duvets, helps an awful lot, too.

Then, when it’s absolutely scorching, a cold compress can help to bring you back down to a more snooze-worthy temperature.

What is the best pillow for hot sleepers?

If you run hot through the night, we suggest a pillow with air pockets in the filling. This allows air to circulate, keeping the pillow at a lovely, even temperature.

Fab filling options for this include fluffy down. We have duck and goose options to choose from.

Or, try a hollowfibre pillow. True to its name, the hollow fibres let air flow through. 

How to keep pillows cool

A cold pillow on a hot night is utter bliss. Keep your pillow cool and refreshing with breathable pillowcases, or even add a cooling pillow protector. Our Safe and Sound Pillow Protector contains Coolmax filling for extra moisture management.

For an extra refreshing pillow, why not pop it in the fridge? No, we haven’t gone mad. A fridge-chilled pillow feels like absolute heaven in the height of summer.
