How to use a piercing pillow

Never used a piercing pillow before? Here's a few quick steps to help:

Unpack and wait.

For best results it's recommended to leave the pillow for up to 48 hours before use. This gives the ear piercing pillow enough time to expand to it's full size.

Position your ear.

Ensure your ear is directly in the centre of the piercing pillow, this will give enough space for movement while asleep.

Enjoy pain-free sleep.

Place the piercing pillow on top of your normal pillow or mattress and enjoy side sleeping, pain free.

FAQ's

What is a piercing pillow?

A specifically designed pillow that provides comfort and support for individuals with ear piercings, ear pain, or those who want to wear earphones while lying in bed.

How long should I use a piercing pillow for?

Most ear lobe piercings typically heal within 6–12 weeks, while cartilage piercings can take 6–12 months to fully settle. Many of our customers continue using their Unel Piercing Pillow long after their piercing has healed, especially side sleepers who enjoy reduced ear pressure and a more comfortable night's sleep.

How does an piercing pillow work?

The pillow features a unique design with a hole in the center, allowing you to rest your ear without putting pressure on it. This makes it ideal for those with new piercings, chronic ear pain, or anyone who enjoys listening to music or audiobooks while lying down.

What materials is the pillow made from?

Made from high-quality, black velvet. The soft yet supportive foam filling ensures maximum comfort, while the cover is made from breathable, skin-friendly fabric. Each order comes with a FREE extra bag of filling allowing the firmness to be adjusted.

Is a piercing pillow good for all kinds of sleeping positions?

Yes, the pillow is designed to be comfortable for side, back, and stomach sleepers. Its versatile design ensures that you can use it in any sleeping position without compromising on comfort.

Is a piercing pillow travel friendly?

Yes, a piercing pillow is compact and lightweight, making it easy to take with you on trips. Its size is perfect for providing comfort on the go, whether you're traveling by plane, car, or train.

Is the pillow suitable for children?

Yes, absolutely. The piercing pillow is safe and suitable for all ages from 5 years+, making it a great choice for children with ear piercings or ear pain.

Perfect pillow for pierced ears! Game changer!

Recently I’ve been suffering from a bit of ear pain due to some new piercings. I never realised these pillows existed before and I’m so glad I found this one by unel.Really helped with the ear pain after the first night, managed to get a comfortable sleep which is the main thing - very soft too which is great.Bonus that you get extra stuffing included in the product too so can keep it feeling fresh in the future - 5 star product!

Let it fully expand and then add filling if required

I gave this a couple of days to fully expand as it suggested in the packaging. I personally found the initial size too flat for my liking so I popped the rest of the filling in. I did find the zip wasn't as smooth as it could have beenSince I am a side sleeper and have had some ear ache, this has proven to relieve the pressure on my ear. Plus it allows me to listen to my earbuds with no problem

Definitely easy on the ear

I haven’t been able to sleep on my right side for over a year. I had a helix piercing and as is apparently the case with cartilage piercings they take a very long time to heal. It’s still painful if I sleep directly on my ear. This pillow is really good for protecting my ear. The material is soft and velvety, the inside stuffing is soft, and it even comes with additional stuffing if you need it. As long as you don’t move your head around too much in the night your ear will remain pain free. I wish I’d discovered it sooner.

very helpful

I had an ear infection and laying on it was very uncomfortable, this helped a lot with that. I tried using a travel pillow but it was too large.This pillow is just puffy enough to get the ear off the surface without pushing your head and neck into an uncomfortable angle.There is some extra stuffing in case you need a bit more of a lift.Only downside is it moves so if you roll over in the night and then roll back it obviously wont be in the right place and you'll end up laying on your ear again.Definitely worth it if you suffer ear problems or get piercings, or even for the back of the head if you have some bruising, tenderness, soft spot etc...

Not Comfortable for Me

I really wanted this donut pillow to work for me as I have a sore on my ear which is very painful when I put pressure on it lying down. I have tried travel pillows, to no avail, so I was genuinely interested in trying this pillow which is specifically made with a hole for your ear. However, I just couldn't get comfortable using it and ended up ditching it after about half an hour.It came with a small bag of stuffing, so I plumped the pillow up with that. It was then too hard and made it even more uncomfortable. Then I took about half the stuffing out. It took ages massaging and rearranging the stuffing to make the pillow feel evenly padded. It was no better I'm afraid.I think, the issue for me is that the hole for the ear is too big, and maybe the breadth of the pillow is too little. My face is not supported and falls into the hole and that puts pressure on my cheek and squashes my face. It hurts using it, worse than the sore on my ear. It really is going to depend on the size of your head. How do you know until you try? I'm 5'4" and petite, for me, I want a smaller hole and a wider pillow to be comfortable.I also don't like the velvet fabric. My quilt cover and pillow cases are 100% cotton. I want to feel cool and clean in bed, and velvet is something you make cushions for your sofa from, as far as I'm concerned. It just doesn't feel right to me. If I am to sleep on this in bed, linen or cotton would surely be more appropriate?It's quite expensive for what is a simple, small cushion too. Overall it's well made, but the stitching came undone on the inner tube where the stuffing goes in. This is on the inside so doesn't matter so much once it's zipped up.It doesn't work for me, but that's not to say it wouldn't be perfect for someone else.

A good night’s sleep.

Absolutely love it, I had an operation to remove cancer from my ear and was told never again to sleep on that side, even though it was the dominant side for me to sleep on. Now with this ring having added the extra stuffing with no difficulty, I can once again sleep on whichever side I choose. Brilliant. 😴😴😴

Comfortable

After an operation on my ear I find this pillow surprisingly comfortable to lie on and would recommend it.

Great for fresh piercings

Ideal for fresh piercings - this is the reason I've managed to get a decent night's sleep since I cannot sleep on my back.Pros - great for side sleepers. It takes 95% of the pressure off your ears, and all of my redness and swelling went away within 24 hours (from accidentally sleeping on the piercings). Moderately comfortable.Cons - it comes with an extra bag of stuffing which you'll most likely have to use otherwise there isn't enough cushion to stop your ear touching the pillow. This makes the piercing pillow quite firm and can take some getting used to.

Great pillow but how do you wash it?

The pillow is great for keeping piercings safe and secure while sleeping. The only issue is washing it and keeping it clean, there is no way to wash it without de-stuffing the whole pillow through a tiny zip hole. Or throwing it in the machine stuffing and all, which will take ages to dry
