A comfort exploration, not a medical assessment. Crown Lift does not treat pain, snoring, sleep apnea, or breathing disorders.

So were we, so we invented the solution for your pillow going flat

Before and after comparison of Michele sleeping: without Crown Lift her neck is cranked back, with Crown Lift added her head is level and supported.
Notice how her ear sinks below pillow in top image but not in the bottom image where her head is supported. Her neck is also elongated. Second image-Morgan using a 1" inside her own pillow

A pillow problem nobody warns you about

Does your head sink into your pillow?

Your pillow can feel right when you first lie down—and different after your head settles into it.

Michele thought her solid pillow was supporting her, turns out it never really was.

She added a 1" lift on top of her pillow and now it holds her head all night. She actually told us: "My neck feels more open and my face doesn't get squished in the pillow anymore."

Same pillow. Same height. Only the support changed.

More comfort from the pillow you already own

Pillow height

Your pillow isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither is your lift.

How much height and support feels right depends on how you sleep, your body proportions, how firm your pillow is and how much it compresses, and your own comfort. Those things can change, and one fixed pillow can't change with them.

Crown Lift® lets you adjust the setup instead of replacing the whole pillow. Choose a LiftCore™ in 1″, 2″ or 3″, in soft or firm options, and swap it any time you want a different lift.

"I've ben using the lift for over 6 months now, and I've noticed I never wake up stiff anymore or with aches."- Barbara

Once you find your perfect set-up, you'll never go back to a regular adjustable pillow again.

Truly adjustable because you actually configure the different inserts to fit exactly what feels right for you, and if it doersn't, it's a simple swap of the inserts.

Wake up feeling better rested, less pain and stiffness, and ready to conquer the day!

Pat
She had a Crown lift for months...then finally had enough pain to use it!

Looking for pillow support after cervical fusion or ACDF?

Finding a comfortable sleep setup after neck surgery can be difficult. Every person's needs are different, so we created the system that helps you find that perfect position.

Crown Lift was designed by a surgical patient (2x) and her 5 year journey. This system helped support her head in her pillow after her second spinal surgery.

"When my surgeon stated how amazing my recovery has been, I told him the only thing I did different this time was use Crown Lift support every single night since my surgery."- Danielle/Founder

Crown Lift® is not a treatment or a post-operative medical device. If you've been cleared by your healthcare provider to choose your own pillow setup, Crown Lift gives you a way to adjust the height and support of the pillow you already use, rather than guessing at another new pillow.

Crown Lift Journal

I tell the story of the creation of the Crown Lift Insert that helped me stop the head drop in pillows.

This is not medical advice. This is my story to explain how the Crown Lift was born from my frustration with the pillow industry.

Pressure Mapping My Pillow During Recovery

By Danielle Canter

Pillow Mapping™ uses a pressure-sensing mat to show how your head and neck load a pillow. It observes and compares. It doesn't diagnose or treat.

Created In A Recovery Room, Not A Boardroom

Crown Lift Neck Support System was born from Danielle's own neck surgery battle and recovery — when she couldn't find a single pillow that kept her head from dropping and her neck properly supported.

So she built the fix for her pillow. Then she applied for 3 patents. Manufactured 1000 units. Researched and studied the market. Listened to her customers and refined her product.

Not built in a boardroom by a massive pillow company with deep pockets. Built in a recovery room by a person who was tired of being lied to and wanted to share her neck support solution with others like her.

Tested on the person who needed it most. Then sold to hundreds who have needed it since.
