Congratulations on your new YOUP Pillow! Designed for optimal comfort and support, this custom-fit pillow adapts to your sleep position and body measurements, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. To get the best experience, follow this guide on how to use, maintain, and care for your pillow.
Understanding Your YOUP Pillow: Sleep Side vs. Unwind Side
Your YOUP Pillow has two unique sides that provide different levels of support, depending on your needs:
Sleep Side (For Deep, Restful Sleep)
This is the primary side designed for your sleeping posture. It provides tailored support for your neck and shoulders, ensuring proper spinal alignment. Best suited for side and back sleepers, depending on your custom fit. Always place this side up when sleeping for optimal comfort.
Unwind Side (For Relaxation & Resting)
Designed for lounging, reading, or watching TV before sleep. Softer and slightly lower than the Sleep Side to provide gentle support while unwinding. Ideal when lying on your back or reclining in bed. Switch to the Sleep Side when you’re ready to fall asleep.
💡 Tip: If you’re unsure which side is which, the Sleep Side is the higher part with the neck support.
How to Adjust to Your New Pillow
If you’re transitioning from a traditional pillow, your body may take a few nights to adjust to the custom support of the YOUP Pillow. Here’s how to ease the transition:
✅ Night 1-3: Use the pillow for short naps or relaxation before fully switching.
✅ Night 4-7: Sleep the entire night with the YOUP Pillow, even if it feels different from your old pillow.
✅ After a week: Your body should be fully adjusted, and you’ll start feeling the benefits of better support and deeper sleep.
💡 Tip: If you experience minor discomfort in the first few nights, it’s normal! Your neck and spine are adjusting to a healthier position.
Caring for Your YOUP Pillow
Proper maintenance ensures your pillow stays fresh, hygienic, and long-lasting. Follow these care instructions:
Cleaning Your Pillow
The pillow itself is not washable (to preserve the internal structure). If needed, lightly spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow it to air dry completely before use.
Washing the Pillowcase
Your YOUP Pillow comes with a breathable, removable pillowcase. Wash the pillowcase in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
💡 Tip: Use an additional pillowcase if you prefer extra protection.
Best Practices for Longevity
To get the most out of your YOUP Pillow, keep these best practices in mind:
✔️ Use it every night – consistent use helps maintain proper neck support.
✔️ Store in a dry, cool place when not in use.
✔️ Avoid excessive moisture – the pillow’s materials are designed to stay firm and breathable.
✔️ Replace after 4-5 years for optimal support and hygiene.
Common Questions & Troubleshooting
Why does my pillow feel different from my old one?
The YOUP Pillow is custom-designed for ergonomic support, so it may take a few nights for your body to adjust. Stick with it, and you’ll soon experience better sleep quality.
Can I use a different pillowcase?
Yes! While the included pillowcase is designed for breathability and fit, you can use a different one as long as it doesn’t compress the pillow’s shape.
I sleep on my stomach. Can I still use the YOUP Pillow?
The YOUP Pillow is primarily designed for back and side sleepers. If you’re a stomach sleeper, you may find the Unwind Side more comfortable.
