Q: Is the Ecosa pillow too firm?
This is a common question found in Ecosa pillow reviews. The Ecosa pillow is definitely on the firmer side compared to down or synthetic pillows. This is intentional. The high-density memory foam is designed for structural support, not plushness. If you are used to very soft pillows, it may feel firm initially, but many users find the structured support provides superior neck alignment and reduces pain over time.
Q: How do I choose the correct height (loft) for my Ecosa pillow?
You need to match the loft to your sleeping position and shoulder width.
-
Side Sleepers: Need the highest loft to bridge the gap between their neck and the mattress. Start with all inserts in.
-
Back Sleepers: Need a medium loft to keep the head level. Start with one insert removed.
-
Stomach Sleepers: Need the lowest loft to prevent neck strain. Remove all inserts.
Experiment during the first week to find the exact combination that keeps your spine perfectly straight.
Q: How do I clean the Ecosa pillow?
The memory foam core must not be put in a washing machine, as water will ruin its structure. However, the outer cover is machine washable and should be cleaned regularly. If the foam itself needs cleaning, spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allow it to air dry completely (away from direct sunlight) before putting the cover back on.
Q: Does the Ecosa pillow smell when new?
Like many memory foam products, the Ecosa pillow may have a slight "off-gassing" smell when first opened, which is a common byproduct of the foam manufacturing process. This smell is non-toxic and typically dissipates completely within 24 to 48 hours. Simply let the pillow air out in a well-ventilated room before using it.
