How Crown Lift Works | The First Pillow Support System to Stop Head Drop
How Crown Lift® Works
Adjustable support that goes under the pillow you already use
Crown Lift® is a set of foam support cores, called LiftCores™, plus a pocket pillowcase. You slide a core into the pocket pillowcase, put your own pillow in on top, and the core adds height and support underneath your head. If it doesn't feel right, you swap or stack cores until it does.
Set up in 3 steps
1. Add a core. Unzip the pocket pillowcase and slide in one LiftCore™.
2. Add your pillow. Slide your own pillow into the pocket pillowcase, on top of the core.
3. Position and adjust. Place the core under the crown of your head (top-back), lie down, and adjust over a few nights.

Why a pillow needs this
Your head weighs about 10–12 pounds, and it presses straight down into the pillow all night. Loose fill compresses under that weight, so the pillow can be lower by morning than when you lay down. We call that head drop.
A LiftCore™ sits under the pillow, below where the back of your head rests, and is designed to hold its shape better than loose fill does. The pillow stays on top, so the surface you sleep on still feels like your pillow, with added height and support beneath it.
What's in the box
- Three LiftCores™ in 1″, 2″ and 3″ heights, in soft and firm options
- The pocket pillowcase that holds a core under your pillow
- A travel bag and a sleep eye mask
How to choose your height
- Start low. Begin with the 1″ core and use it for a few nights.
- Step up gradually. If you want more height, move to the 2″, then the 3″. The tallest isn't automatically the best.
- Try stacking. Cores can be stacked for a different feel. A 2″ Firm with a 1″ Soft is a favorite combination for many side sleepers.
- Try placement. Some people like the core on top of the pillow, others flip it toward the mattress side.

Common questions
Does it replace my pillow?
No. Your pillow goes on top of the core, inside the pocket pillowcase.
Will it feel hard?
The core is made of soft, forgiving foam, not a rigid block, and it comes in soft and firm options.
What if I pick the wrong height?
Swap or stack cores. If you still need help, contact us for setup help first. Your order is covered by our 30-Night Adjustment Guarantee.
Is it a medical device?
No. Crown Lift® is patent-pending and is a general wellness product designed to support sleep comfort and pillow positioning. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
