Choosing the Right Pillow- And Why Crown Lift® Changes Everything

Not all pillows behave the same and most people don’t realize how much that matters. The Crown Lift Insert System Works With Most Pillow Brands. Below is a short list of some of the more popular brands. This is not a full list of all pillow types, as the Crown Lift System works in most.

Why Pillow Behavior Matters

Two pillows can feel equally “comfortable,” yet position your head and neck in completely different ways. Over time, that difference can affect sleep quality, muscle tension, spinal alignment, and even how you feel when you wake up.

Before we talk about inserts, let’s talk about pillow behavior.

One size does not fit all- so we created one for everyone!

Unlike over the head sensory sleep aids, the Crown Lift works structurally inside any pillow, it restores proper head height, supports neck alignment, and helps create a more comfortable, supported sleep position. The Crown Lift Sleep System focuses on solving head support problems often found in popular brand pillows. Check out the inserts below:

One Inch

1" Precision Lift- Firm and controlled

Purpose: Fine-tune height without overcorrecting. Acts as a platform so not recommended for over sensitive spines

Two Inch

2" Balanced Lift- Soft, supportive, and forgiving. Cradles your head. Good for most sleepers.

*If it is too soft for larger frames, we recommend adding on the 2" Firm

Three Inch

3" Structural Lift- Firm insert, that stabilizes and supports. Great for burrowing into shredded fill pillows. Acts as a platform for the head.

*Also great for travel as it has a handle and firm enough for seating, behind back in chair, or airplane.

Step By Step Process How To Use

The Crown Lift works differently than a traditional pillow. Your pillow already supports your neck, so we designed the Crown Lift to support the weight of your head, so your neck and shoulders can finally relax.

Step 1:

Place the Crown Lift Inside Your Pillow.

Unzip your pillow or open the pillowcase and place the Crown Lift inside the pillow. Center it under where the back of your head naturally rests when you lie down.

Step 2:

Always Start with the Lowest Lift.

Begin with the lowest lift height. Even if you think you need more support, do not start high.The goal is gentle head support, not just correct height. Correct placement is what matters.

Step 3:

Lie Down and Let Your Head Settle.

Lie on your back in your normal sleep position and allow your head to settle naturally into the pillow. The Crown Lift should feel like it is quietly holding your head, not pushing it upward.

Step 4:

Adjust Only If Needed.

After a few minutes, check how your body feels.If your head still feels like it is sinking too low, you may try the next lift height. If you feel strain, pressure, or tension, go back down to a lower lift or reposition it slightly toward the crown of your head.

Step 5:

Use It Consistently.

Use the Crown Lift every night for several nights in a row. Your body may need time to adjust to proper head support, especially if you have spent years compensating with your neck and shoulders.

The Missing Piece: Where Your Head Actually Rests

Most pillows focus on the neck. But who sleeps on their neck anyway?!

 Very few address the crown of the head — the place where your skull naturally settles   when you lie back.

The Crown Lift does though, because you sleep on your head, not your neck.

We talk about head support being so important to avoid waking up with neck crick, stiffness, aches, and pains because...

 When the crown isn’t supported:

The head tilts backward
The head tilts backward
10-12 lbs. of head weight pulls back into the pillow
The neck follows
The neck follows
This pull on the neck can cause aches and pains through the night
The spine compensates
The spine compensates
The spine tries to compensate all night long for the micr movement the pillow collapse causes
Muscles stay “on” instead of resting
Muscles stay “on” instead of resting
The muscles never get a chance to rest because they stay activated all night
This is what we call head drop.
Real Sleep. Real Support

Which Insert Works Best With Your Pillow?

For Shredded / Adjustable Pillows (Coop-style)

These pillows compress and shift over time, so they typically need more structure underneath.
Best starting choice:
➡ 2″ Medium or 3″ Firm
Why:
Offsets long-term sink
Stabilizes the crown as foam moves outward
Helps prevent overnight head drop
Many users start with the 2″ and move up if they still feel sink by morning.

For Solid Memory Foam Pillows (Mellow Style)

These already have structure, so the goal is fine-tuning — not overpowering.
Best starting choice:
➡ 1″ Soft or 2″ Medium
Restores neutral alignment
Adds lift without changing pillow feel
Prevents subtle backward tilt
Butterfly style memory foam pillow with a 1" crown lift insert inside

For Ergonomic / Cervical Pillows (Therapeutica Style)

These support the neck well, but often leave the crown unsupported.
Best starting choice:
➡ 1″ Soft
Completes the alignment
Prevents head fall-back
Works with the pillow’s existing shape

Why Crown Lift  Is Different

Crown Lift™ isn’t about forcing posture.

 Works across pillow types

 Adjusts without replacing what you love

Allows gradual testing instead of guessing

 Supports alignment without stiffness

And most importantly — it teaches you why your pillow feels the way it does.

A Gentle Reminder

If you’ve ever said:

“This pillow feels good at first…”

“I don’t know why my neck still hurts…”

“I wake up worse than I went to bed…”

It may not be the pillow.

 It may be the missing support at the crown. Don't spend another night unsupported when you could be sleeping supported and lifted, instead.

Stop the head drop.
Straighten your crown.
Let your pillow finally work for you — not against you.
