Product Information
Full details
The Mitre Luxury Countess Pillow is designed for sleepers seeking a balance of consistent support and long-lasting loft, making it an excellent choice for both home and hospitality environments. Its primary benefit is the resilient siliconised ball fibre filling that resists flattening over time, ensuring a plush sleeping experience. However, users should note that the pillow has a standard profile, which may not suit those who specifically prefer ultra-thin or extremely high-loft memory foam alternatives.

FAQs
Is this pillow machine washable?
It is recommended to spot-clean only to maintain the fire retardant properties and the structure of the ball fibre.
What is the size of the Mitre Luxury Countess Pillow?
The pillow measures 480 x 740 mm, which is the standard size for UK pillows.
Is this suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, the synthetic ball fibre filling is a popular choice for those sensitive to natural feathers or down.
What does BS7175 Source 2 mean?
This is a fire safety standard that confirms the product has been tested to withstand specific ignition sources, ensuring high safety levels.
Does this pillow get hot at night?
No, the pure cotton cover is highly breathable and helps dissipate heat better than polyester covers.
How often should I fluff the pillow?
For optimal comfort, fluff the pillow every morning to redistribute the ball fibre clusters.
Troubleshooting
Pillow feels slightly flattened upon arrival.
The pillow is vacuum-packed for shipping. Vigorously fluff it for 60 seconds and leave it in a well-ventilated room for a few hours to allow the fibres to expand fully.
Cover feels slightly coarse out of the bag.
The pure cotton cover will soften naturally after the first wash of a pillowcase and regular use against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, remove the pillow from its packaging and give it a firm shake to help the fibres expand to their full loft. Since it measures 480 x 740 mm, it is fully compatible with standard-sized UK pillowcases. For care, avoid machine washing if possible to preserve the integrity of the fire retardant treatment. If cleaning is necessary, spot-clean the cotton cover with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. To maximize the lifespan, we recommend using a protective pillow protector to prevent moisture and skin oils from reaching the core fibres, and fluffing the pillow daily to ensure even distribution of the ball fibre clusters.
