  • Best purchase for piercings yet!

    I recently got a daith piercing and was really struggling with pain, irritation bumps, and movement of the jewelry. My piercer suggested this type of pillow and this specific one is a life saver. My ear fits perfectly and I wake up with no pain from the piercing site. If you get an ear piercing get this one!

  • A side sleepers answer

    As a fellow side sleeper, this saved me while healing 4 new piercings. I did have to switch my regular neck support pillow for a much flatter/softer one to adjust while using this lil guy. I’ve taken it with me while I travel too

  • I can finally sleep again!

    I have two piercings on each ear that I’ve been trying to heal for months and it’s been a nightmare trying to sleep! This pillow has absolutely saved my sleep- I wish I had bought it so much sooner.

Our piercing pillow has become recognized worldwide as the best pillow for ear piercing aftercare. We are confident in saying it has become the gold standard in piercing healing support.

Never Sleep Directly on a Fresh Piercing

The most important rule for sleeping with a new piercing is simple: do not sleep on it.

Sleeping directly on a fresh body piercing creates approximately eight hours of continuous trauma. This extended pressure leads to several problems. Excessive irritation develops quickly. Scar tissue forms more readily.

The healing process becomes significantly more difficult. In severe cases, migration can occur when the jewelry shifts position due to constant pressure.

The Side Sleeper’s Dilemma with Piercings

Being a side sleeper with a fresh piercing presents a real challenge. You can’t sleep comfortably unless you find a way to protect your ear from pressure. Sleeping on your back might work for some people, but for dedicated side sleepers, it’s nearly impossible to maintain that position all night.

The new piercing pain when sleeping can be significant, especially during the first few weeks. You need protection that stays in place even when you toss and turn. That’s exactly what our piercing pillows provide. You can check our piercing pillow for side sleepers.

What Is a Piercing Pillow?

A piercing pillow is a specialized pillow with a hole in the center designed to protect your ear while sleeping. Most are small, donut-shaped cushions that keep your fresh piercing elevated and pressure-free, allowing side sleepers to rest comfortably without irritating healing piercings or causing pain.

We provide memory foam piercing pillow, ear piercing pillow for side sleepers, donut piercing pillow, etc.

Why You Need a Piercing Pillow

Fresh piercings, particularly those higher up on the ear, are vulnerable during sleep. When you lay directly on a new piercing, the constant pressure causes irritation and extends healing time. A piercing pillow solves this problem by creating a hollow space where your ear can rest without any contact.

For those sleeping with new piercings, these simple piercing pillows make the difference between comfortable rest and waking up with a sore, angry piercing. The cover is soft against your skin while the sponge provides structure to maintain the protective opening.

Piercing Pillow Vs Travel Pillow

The piercing pillow is much larger than typical travel pillows. It has a hole in the center and is a full pillow the rest of the way around. This means there’s support for your neck and the back of your head, as well as the sides of your head and face.

The size difference between a travel pillow vs piercing pillow is significant. The ear piercing pillow provides more comprehensive support. You will have less of an issue rolling off of it in the middle of the night compared to your travel pillow.

Why You Should Not Use a Regular Pillow After a Piercing

With a regular pillow, when you sleep the pillow poofs up around your ear. If you turn during the night, it will press against your piercing and hurt – it definitely will. But with our piercing pillows, you can sleep comfortably and have an amazing rest. The hollow center keeps pressure off your healing cartilage piercing while still supporting your head and neck.

Many People Don’t Realize They’re Sleeping on Their Piercings

We need to address this issue. Sometimes clients come in with piercing problems, and when we ask if they’re sleeping on their piercings, they say they don’t know.

A lot of people don’t realize they’re sleeping on their piercings. This is a big red flag. If you’re constantly having problems with your piercings and you’re sleeping on them, that’s what’s causing the prolonged healing.

Please be aware that you might be sleeping on your piercings without knowing it. This could be the main reason for your healing issues. Don’t automatically dismiss this possibility.

When piercers are trying to figure out why your piercings aren’t healing, you need to be very honest and open. A lot of people lie or say they’re not sleeping on their piercings when we can clearly see that’s the only explanation.

Solutions for Avoiding Sleep Pressure

If you need to avoid sleeping on fresh piercings, you can:

  • Get a piercing pillow with a hole in it
  • Use a travel pillow and place your ear in the center opening
  • Position your ear between two pillows

These methods help you avoid sleeping directly on your piercings.

How to Use a Piercing Pillow

When you lay down, you can pull all your hair out of the way. You can lay on your side with the pillow positioned so your ear doesn’t touch anything. It’s floating in the open space. Your hand isn’t touching the ear. It’s so comfortable.

You can attribute the piercing easy healing so far – 100% to the earring piercing pillow. The fact that you’re not being disruptive to the piercings while you sleep makes a huge difference.

How Much Does a Piercing Pillow Cost?

From our website, the cost of piercing pillow is usually under $50. This small investment is absolutely worth it when you consider months of restful sleep versus sleepless nights filled with pain and delayed healing. Many customers report wishing they’d bought one sooner after struggling for weeks.
