What is Crown Lift®?

Crown Lift® is an adjustable pillow-support system designed to change the height and support of the pillow you already use. A LiftCore™ support core slides into the included pocket pillowcase, your own pillow goes in on top, and you can add or swap cores to adjust your lift instead of buying a different pillow.

Why does my head sink into my pillow during the night?

A pillow can compress under the weight of your head, especially as your head settles into it over the course of the night. When that happens, the pillow's effective height and support can be different from what you felt when you first lay down. How much a pillow compresses depends on its fill, its firmness, and how you sleep. Crown Lift® adds adjustable support underneath your pillow so you can change the height and support you start with.

How do I know if my pillow is too low?

It comes down to how your setup feels to you. Many people notice their pillow feels flatter or lower after their head has settled into it, or find themselves folding the pillow, stacking another one, or sliding a hand underneath for more height. Those are common signals that someone wants more height or support than their pillow is giving them. This is about personal comfort and pillow compression, not a diagnosis of any condition. If you have concerns about pain, breathing or your health, please talk with your healthcare provider.

Can I use Crown Lift® with my current pillow?

Yes. Crown Lift® is designed to work with the pillow you already use. The core sits in the pocket pillowcase and your pillow slides in on top, so you keep the pillow you have and change the lift underneath it. It is designed for most standard-size pillows; check the product page for size details.

How do I choose my Crown Lift® height?

Start conservatively, then adjust. Most people begin with the 1″ core and step up gradually over several nights rather than jumping straight to the tallest option. The Crown Lift® System includes 1″, 2″ and 3″ LiftCore™ cores in different firmness options, so you can experiment and swap cores as your pillow, sleep position or comfort needs change. Choose the height that fills the gap under your pillow comfortably, not automatically the tallest one. Our Find Your Lift page walks through the setup.

Can Crown Lift® be used after cervical fusion or ACDF?

Needs after neck surgery vary from person to person, and surgeon instructions differ, so please follow the guidance of your surgeon and healthcare provider for your sleep setup. Crown Lift® is not a treatment or a post-operative medical device, and we do not claim it corrects or improves any surgical outcome. If you have been cleared by your healthcare provider to choose your own pillow setup, Crown Lift gives you an adjustable way to change the height and support of the pillow you already use, rather than guessing at another new pillow.

What is Pillow Mapping?

Pillow mapping is part of our Pillow Lab. A pressure-sensing mat visualizes the contact and pressure patterns between a sleeper's head and neck and a pillow setup, and how those patterns change when the setup changes. It is a way to see how a setup behaves. It is not a diagnostic test or a medical assessment.

Is Crown Lift® a medical device?

No. Crown Lift® is a general wellness product designed to support sleep comfort and pillow positioning. It is not marketed as a medical device, it does not claim FDA clearance or approval, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Please consult your physician or physical therapist about medical concerns.

I built Crown Lift because my pillow couldn't keep up with what my body needed each night during my recovery and surgery— so I built something that could change, instead of something I'd have to keep replacing.

Why Crown Lift, Not Another Pillow?

Another pillow is still just another guess at comfort

New Pillows can lose support too

Because another pillow is still a guess

A new pillow gives you one fixed height. Crown Lift lets you adjust the pillow you already have — it stays soft and familiar on top while the LiftCore adds support underneath.

When it's made to be both

Soft can still be supportive

The LiftCore is soft and flexible, with enough structure to restore the support your pillow has lost. Squeeze it, bend it — it gives, then holds its lift.

No matter how you sleep

1", 2", or 3" lift for back, side, or stomach

Needs change like the weather — tomorrow doesn't feel like today. Swap cores anytime, no new purchase needed.
