Sleep on your side without ear discomfort

Sleep soundly on your side with the TheraMed Holey CNH Pillow. Designed for ear-related discomfort, it features a 12 cm cutout to alleviate pressure on the ear. Available in Steri-Plus for easy cleaning or soft cotton for freshness. Made in Australia with polyester fill and memory foam inserts for gentle support. Ideal for CNH, ear surgery recovery, ear pain and is a pillow suited to any ear procedures.

Whether you have recently undergone ear surgery or treatment for conditions like cauliflower ear or an auricular hematoma, the pressure on your ear exacerbates your discomfort. Alternatively, you might suffer from chronic ear pain due to conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, mastoiditis, or ear infections. Even something as seemingly innocuous as a pierced ear or a sensitive earlobe can become a source of agony when pressed against a traditional pillow surface throughout the night.  

Specially designed with a 12 cm cutout that accommodates your ear, the TheraMed Holey Pillow, alleviates the pressure on the ear, allowing you to sleep soundly without exacerbating your ear-related pain or discomfort. 

An ear pillow designed to reduce ear pressure

The TheraMed Holey Pillow is expertly designed to enhance comfort for side sleepers and alleviate discomfort associated with ear-related issues. Available in two distinct cover options, it caters to different preferences. The Steri-Plus cover option, which is hygienic and resistant to moisture and bacteria, ensures easy maintenance. For those who prioritise a softer touch, the cotton cover offers a fresh and comfortable feel, perfect for a cozy night's sleep.   

This pillow is especially beneficial for side sleepers, featuring a blend of polyester fill and memory foam inserts that provide gentle yet firm neck support while specifically targeting ear pressure points to relieve discomfort. The strategic design focuses on minimising pressure in the ear area, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking relief from ear pain or pressure while enjoying the benefits of side sleeping.

  • Ear cartilage damage 
  • Recovery from ear surgery 
  • Ear piercings 

A CNH pillow providing head support while protecting your ear

Thanks to over 50 years of experience manufacturing Therapeutic Pillows, we have created the best Australian Ear Pillows to help you sleep better. 

Our CNH pillow fill material around the ear hole is made from a soft polyester fibre to ensure softness even if the ear does meet this part of the pillow. The fill can be removed to lower the height of the pillow making this an adjustable pillow.  

Memory foam inserts run along either side of the ear hole to provide support for the neck and shoulders for a good night's sleep, while the ear is protected from any pressure while sleeping.

Love my pillow. I had an op years ago and cannot sleep on right ear. Sleeping on left all the time had me in pain and causing sores on my ear. But since I got Holey pillow have had no worries. Love it.

Service Rating : the delivery was great

Product : So disappointed - if I can manage to get my head far enough on to the pillow for my ear to fit to the hole, my face gets pushed up and away from the [illow because it is way too firm for my face to lie flat or sink into it.

Frequently Asked Questions

One of the key benefits of polyfill is its ease of care. Most pillows in this range are machine washable on a gentle cycle and can be tumble dried on low heat, making it simple to maintain a clean and hygienic sleep surface. Always check the specific care instructions first.

Yes, high quality polyfill is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. The synthetic fibres are naturally resistant to common allergens like dust mites and mould. The Therapeutic Pillow range of polyfill pillows  are also machine washable, allowing for easy removal of allergens.
