Description
icare Contour Pillow – Dual-Profile ActiveX™ Neck Support
The icare Contour Pillow is designed for sleepers who want more deliberate head and neck positioning than a traditional pillow provides. Its sculpted profile has two different edge heights, allowing the pillow to be rotated so the user can choose the side that better suits their sleeping position and preferred neck support.
At approximately 600 x 400 x 90–110 mm, iCare recommends the higher side for back and side sleepers and the lower side for front sleepers. A high-density ActiveX™ core responds to body warmth and contours around the head and neck, while a cooling gel insert adds another layer of temperature management.
The removable four-way-stretch cotton/Elastex top cover moves with the user rather than restricting the foam’s contouring. Breathable Vant® fabric around the sides and base encourages airflow, and the pillow is sized to fit a standard pillow slip.
Is the Contour the Right iCare Pillow for You?
Choose the Contour when you want a clearly shaped neck-support pillow with two usable profile heights. Choose the Classic if you prefer a conventional rectangular shape, the Curve if even the lower Contour edge is likely to be too tall, the Cloud if plush softness matters more than a defined contour, or the Conform if you need more adjustment than simply choosing between two edge heights.
The two-profile design makes the Contour more adaptable than a single-height pillow, but correct height still depends on the user. Shoulder width, sleeping position and mattress immersion all affect the space the pillow needs to fill.

How to Choose Which Edge to Use
Start with the edge that best matches your usual sleep position, then assess how your neck feels once your body has settled into the mattress. The aim is a comfortable, neutral-feeling position rather than simply using the highest support available. If neither edge feels right, a substantially lower Curve or the more adjustable Conform may be a better fit.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the icare Contour Pillow have two profile heights?
The two edges provide different levels of neck support so the pillow can accommodate more than one sleeping position and height preference.
What are the dimensions?
The Contour Pillow measures approximately 600 x 400 mm with a profile height of 90–110 mm.
Which side should side sleepers use?
iCare recommends the higher edge for side sleepers.
Which side should back sleepers use?
iCare also recommends the higher edge for back sleepers.
Which side should front sleepers use?
The lower edge is the intended starting point for front sleepers, who generally need less pillow height.
How does the Contour differ from the Classic Pillow?
The Contour has sculpted high and low edges for more defined neck positioning. The Classic uses a familiar rectangular pillow shape.
How does it differ from the Curve Pillow?
The Curve is much lower at approximately 50–80 mm and has a shoulder-friendly curved outline. The Contour provides a taller 90–110 mm dual profile.
How does it compare with the Conform Pillow?
The Contour provides two fixed profile heights. The Conform uses removable and interchangeable modules for a wider range of height and support adjustments.
What is ActiveX™?
ActiveX™ is iCare’s temperature-responsive elastic foam, designed to become softer as it warms and contour around the user.
Does the pillow include cooling gel?
Yes. A cooling gel insert is incorporated with the ActiveX™ core.
Does mattress firmness affect which edge feels right?
Yes. A softer mattress may let the shoulder sink further and reduce the required pillow height, while a firmer mattress can leave more space for the pillow to support.
What is the cover made from?
The removable top cover uses four-way-stretch cotton/Elastex material, with breathable Vant® fabric on the sides and base.
Can the cover be washed?
Yes. The cover is removable and washable. Follow iCare’s supplied care instructions.
Will it fit a standard pillowcase?
Yes. It is designed to fit a standard-size pillow slip.
What is the product code and warranty?
The product code is ICP2. iCare provides a 2-year standard warranty, subject to its warranty terms and conditions.
