Pillow guide
Soft vs Firm pillow: how to choose.
The right pillow is not only about softness. It is about loft, neck position, shoulder space, and the way the fill responds through the night.
Quick answer
Choose Soft if you prefer a lower, more cushioned pillow with gentle sink. Choose Firm if you want fuller loft and stronger support. The NUVELL Pillow comes in Soft 900g and Firm 1300g.
Choose Soft if...
- You like a lower pillow profile.
- You prefer a more cushioned, relaxed hotel feel.
- You sleep on your stomach or have a smaller frame.
- You want the pillow to compress more easily under your head.
Choose Firm if...
- You like a fuller, higher-loft pillow.
- You want a more structured support feel.
- You sleep on your side or have broader shoulders.
- You want the pillow to hold more shape through the night.
How NUVELL Soft and Firm differ
Both options use the same 50 x 70 cm size, 100% cotton 230TC down-proof cover, double chamber construction, outer 30% white duck down and 70% white duck feather, and inner 100% white duck feather. The main difference is fill weight: Soft is 900g and Firm is 1300g.
If you are between the two, start with the way you want your pillow to feel in the first five minutes. Soft is more relaxed. Firm is more lifted.
