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.

  • 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.

Customer Reviews Customer Reviews

Service Rating : Once I made an inquiry, discovered the product and ordered, the parcel arrived within a couple or three days.

Product : The holey pillow has changed my sleep. I now get a full night of sleep without waking up during the night with a sore aching ear only to turn to the other side and repeat. A great find and wish I found you years ago when my skin doctor started freezing sun damage off my ears. No one knew such a product existed and perhaps you need to make yourself know to skin specialists and others.

19 Jun 2024

Service Rating : The service and delivery was okay.

Product : The cotton pillow cover is a very rough fabric, even though I've washed it. I can't use the pillow because of that. The pillow is quite thick, but it's easy enough to remove stuffing to adjust.

05 Apr 2024

Service Rating : Perfect pillow for my husband who has had extensive surgery behind and under his ear. The pillow has a hole which is perfectly placed and allows him to sleep on either his left or right side at last.

The pillow has kept its shape beautifully and has provided him with a significantly improved quality of life. We can sometimes underestimate just how important a decent night of sleep is for our health and wellbeing. This pillow ensures he now sleeps soundly and wakes up feeling refreshed.

Product : Great cotton pillowcase - quality cotton and has a funnel placed exactly where it is needed to line up with the special pillow it goes with. It is very well made with straight seams and no loose threads.

Yes you can adjust the stuffing by unzipping the cover and move the poly fill around or remove the quantity you require.

The filling is mainly polyfill with a small layer of memory foam. You may remove both the foam and some of the polyfill if you find it too firm . The Holey pillow has had great reviews from CNH sufferers.
The hole is set off centre so there is approximately an 18cm gap on one side from the edge of pillow to the hole and then on the other it is approximately 10cm. This is designed for shorter and longer necks.
The pillow is a medium feel but to soften it you should be able to remove a bit of the filling inside just by undoing the zipper and then plump up the poly inside to give it a slightly softer feel.
The steri plus version is a waterproof product that we only really recommend for hospital and places where product is being shared. For all other requirements we recommend the regular version.
