The ‘boxed mattress’ industry is relatively new, however, some brands have started quite early. One of the pioneers in this sector is Ergoflex, which has been operating since 2006. Their aim was to produce affordable Tempur-like mattresses but they have achieved more than that. In this Ergoflex pillow review, I will talk about their memory foam option which can be a great choice for you.
Ergoflex makes their mattresses using the finest memory foam so they wanted to apply the same philosophy here. It’s worth pointing out that the pillow comes with free delivery and a 2-year guarantee which is not bad. Mine arrived 3 weeks ago, so it’s a good time now to write this review.
Materials & Construction
When designing this pillow, Ergoflex wanted to avoid the ‘pillow plumping’ effect. That is the reason they went with a very simple design. A fully-moulded memory foam core ensures that the pillow won’t plump which can be the case with other pillow types like down or micro-fill. The foam used here is anti-allergenic and anti-microbial which makes it good for those suffering from allergies. Moreover, the solid core means that foreign object build-up is almost impossible so this is a very hygienic pillow. It is available in standard dimensions (45cm x 65cm x 14cm) so it will fit your old pillowcases. Overall, this is well made and I think they did a good job here.
Pillow Cover
The cover of the Ergoflex pillow is made of Tencel, which is a material that I personally love. It’s a very natural material that is produced from raw wood. It’s also more eco-friendly than cotton, as it needs less energy and water to be produced. Tencel is quite breathable which is exactly what you need from a cover. Finally, it’s naturally anti-allergenic so if you are an allergy sufferer then this can be a good option.
The cover feels soft and strong at the same time. They went with a minimal design which is quite Scandi in my opinion. It’s simple but beautiful and I personally liked it. If you want to clean it, you can remove it and machine-wash it at 40 degrees. This is great and it makes it quite easy to maintain. Overall, this is a high-quality cover that won’t disappoint.
Comfort & Support
I have been sleeping with this pillow for the past 3 weeks and I must say it’s a firm one. That makes it very supportive but I felt that it doesn’t lack pressure relief. As you already know, I am an avid back sleeper and I felt that this pillow did a good job in this position. I also felt the same for the side position but not so much for the stomach one. You see, the height (14cm) of this pillow is a bit too much and I think it’s not suited towards stomach sleepers. As a result, if you are a side or back sleeper, this can be a great choice for you.
Verdict
I would like now to complete this Ergoflex pillow review and share my final thoughts with you. I personally liked what they did here as this is a pillow that is well-designed and it’s made with the right materials. The cover is fantastic and the 5G memory foam will suit those who prefer a firmer feel. The pillow also comes with free delivery and is fairly priced (£55). If you are not a stomach sleeper, I think that this pillow should be high on your list.
