Sofi Sleeper pillow

A Super Comfy Down Pillow to Rest Your Head

The Sofi Sleep Deluxe Pillow was crafted and designed with sleep science in mind. The top layer is woven from ice yarn and stuffed with down feathers resulting in a luxurious feel which is cool to the touch, but never cold, keeping you cool and comfortable all night long.

I think too many of us sleep with super cheap, Wal-Mart pillows and never spend on something that is this good. It’s worth it to sleep on a high-quality pillow like this, just like it’s worth it to replace your mattress every ten years!

The core is filled with micro-tube gel-infused memory foam that molds to your form without losing any support aspects as Sofi suspends your head to an optimal height for constant contentment.

The middle mesh layer is woven from an ultra-breathable mesh that keeps the structure of Sofi intact while promoting breathability, meaning no need to fluff your Sofi in the middle of a night’s sleep. Finishing off the design, Sofi has a super soft sateen base, which is ideal to wrap your arms around if you’re a stomach sleeper.
