Why We Made the Parallel Pillow

We’re a startup and a family business, but we aren’t newbies. Our leadership team has over 50 years of experience manufacturing and selling sleep products directly to consumers. 

Meaning we’ve been immersed in helping people enjoy better sleep since the early ‘70s. ✌️

So why did we start with a pillow, you might ask?

Funny enough, it was the fact that we pillow-experts couldn't easily recommend a pillow to our friends and family! Whenever we tried recommending pillows to people based on how they sleep or their comfort preferences, we always seemed to miss the target somehow. 

Not to mention, pillow industry jargon can feel like speaking a foreign language. And, even the popular brands just don’t work for everybody! 

With a mind-numbing number of pillow options on the market, finding a good fit for someone can be surprisingly daunting. 

So recommending the right pillow to our friends and family, one that worked for what they truly needed was… frustrating, to say the least.

But we DID know how the best pillow in the world should look, feel and perform. It just didn't exist yet.

So we set out to create it.

The Perfect Pillow Recipe

This started our quest to create the perfect pillow “recipe,” using our abundant knowledge and industry connections. The Parallel Pillow is the result of this recipe.

The Parallel Pillow offers lofty support like a traditional pillow, but with a unique, sculptable structure and soft comfort that comes from its innovative blend of memory foam and upcycled fibers.

Parallel's recipe starts with its omigosh-soft, moisture-wicking and machine-washable TENCEL outer cover. Then it delves into its naturally self-refreshing, antimicrobial ParaPur inner shell.

And last, it's finished with a generous stuffing of our BlueTech Fusion Fill, the hybrid memory foam fill that's sculptable, huggable and supportive – with unmatched airflow so it never sleeps hot or cold. 

A tall order, and we geeked out on it for many months.

When we finally put all the best ingredients together, we were amazed. Holding a Parallel Pillow, squeezing it, touching it, is unlike any other pillow. It's one you can love to snuggle on for as long as your beloved mattress (with the help of a quick dryer cycle to revive its lift, of course).

And sleeping on it ... just dreamy.

Easy to Love, Easy to Buy

With Parallel, we also made the buying experience ridiculously easy. 

You just decide if you want High Profile or Low Profile (based on your height and how you sleep) and pick the size that fits your bed — Standard or King.

• The High Profile version is optimized for anyone who prefers a lot of support between their head and their mattress. It's great for side sleepers and people looking for loftier head and neck support. 

• The Low Profile pillow is made for people who don't need as much support between their head and their mattress. It's best for back and stomach sleepers, as well as people with smaller body sizes.

• No matter the pillow, you can add or remove fill to adjust to your ideal head and neck support.

And Parallel Sleep is a US-based company that lovingly designed, assembles and ships the Parallel Pillow from Denver, Colorado.

The World's Kindest Pillow

As a new company, we wanted to do more than just sell stuff. (Even if that stuff is truly amazing!)

From decades of charitable partnerships with groups like the United Way and the Salvation Army, we knew that pillows are something displaced people always need. Consider individuals fleeing abusive relationships or children in foster care, moved from home to home. Or unhoused adults and seniors, looking for a safe place to lay their head.

The thing we would see them all clinging to most tightly was their pillow — IF they were lucky enough to have one.

A pillow is like a personal companion. It encapsulates hope and comfort.

So for every single Parallel Pillow we sell, we donate a fresh, new pillow to a person in need. And as our customer, YOU make it possible.

The only way to fully understand how wonderful a Parallel Pillow is, is to experience one yourself. (Remember, even we were blown away when we first squeezed our prototypes. We still are!)

And to make your purchase completely worry-free, we give you a full 90 nights to try your Parallel Pillow.

But be warned: the hardest part is keeping other members of the household from stealing it.

Thankfully, there are plenty more where it came from!
