A Soft Therapeutic Pillow, adjustable with a polyester fibrefill The inner fill around the ear hole is soft polyester fibre to ensure softness even if the ear does come into contact with this part of the pillow. The polyfill can be removed to lower the height of the pillow if required.
Memory foam inserts
Memory foam inserts run along either side of the ear hole to provide support for the neck and shoulders while the primary function of protecting the ear is maintained.
Other strategies for managing ear pressure injuries include dressings, repositioning and ear cut-outs (made of foam). Finding a comfortable position for patients in palliative care who have ear pressure injuries can be a challenge. The Thera-med Holey pillow is designed to help manage ear pressure in conjunction with these other methods.

Regular: cotton encasement and custom slip. Just like your normal pillow with the comfort of polyfill and memory foam inner for support. This is the recommended version for most users.
