Why Choose Our Wholesale Pillows?
Wholesale pillows are a cost-effective choice for institutions and hospitality sectors that require consistent comfort and quality.

These pillows are designed to withstand regular washing and frequent use, maintaining their loft, shape, and freshness over time.
Types of Pillow Designs

Standard pillows are the most popular and versatile type. Their rectangular shape supports the head and neck evenly, making them ideal for everyday use in hotels, student dorms, and homes.
2. V-Shaped Pillows
These pillows offer targeted support for the neck, shoulders, and upper back. They are particularly useful in healthcare facilities and for individuals who need additional support while reading, relaxing, or recovering from surgery.
3. King-Sized and Large Pillows
Perfect for wide beds, king-sized pillows add a touch of luxury and provide enhanced coverage. They are common in high-end hotels and stylish home interiors.
4. Bounce-Back Pillows
Bounce-back pillows are filled with resilient hollowfibre that quickly regains its shape after use. They’re perfect for hotels and guesthouses, ensuring a plump and fresh look day after day.
5. Wedge Pillows
Wedge pillows feature an angled design to provide elevation for users with respiratory or posture issues. These are often used in care settings or for individuals recovering from illness.
Materials Used in Wholesale Pillows
1. Hollowfibre Pillows
Made from soft, breathable polyester fibres, hollowfibre pillows offer lightweight comfort and bounce. They are hypoallergenic, easy to wash, and ideal for high-traffic environments such as hotels and hostels.
2. Microfibre Pillows

3. Feather and Goose Down Pillows
Feather and down pillows are crafted for ultimate luxury and superior breathability. These natural fillings regulate temperature effectively, ensuring warmth in winter and coolness in summer. Perfect for boutique hotels and high-end bedrooms.
4. Waterproof and Flame-Retardant Pillows (BS 7175 Certified)
These pillows are designed with coated or PU-backed covers that prevent liquid absorption and meet BS 7175 fire safety standards. They are essential for hospitals, nursing homes, and student housing, where hygiene and safety are priorities.
5. Non-Allergenic Pillows
Made from specially treated fibres that repel dust mites and allergens, these pillows are ideal for sensitive sleepers and allergy-prone environments.
Pillow Firmness and GSM Levels
Firmness determines how supportive a pillow feels. It often depends on the GSM (grams per square metre) of filling:
- Soft (300–400 GSM): Ideal for stomach sleepers seeking gentle cushioning.
- Medium (450–550 GSM): Balanced comfort suitable for back sleepers.
- Firm (600+ GSM): Provides strong support for side sleepers and long-term commercial use.
This variation allows buyers to tailor pillow choices according to sleeping positions and user preferences, ensuring complete satisfaction in every setting.
Care and Maintenance Tips
Proper pillow care extends its lifespan and maintains hygiene:
- Use pillow protectors to safeguard against spills and allergens.
- Wash synthetic pillows every 3–6 months at 40°C using mild detergent.
- Avoid fabric softeners that may flatten the filling.
- Ensure complete drying before reuse to prevent dampness or mould.
- Replace high-use pillows every 1–2 years for optimal comfort.
- For feather and down pillows, opt for professional dry cleaning to maintain quality.
