highest and hard pillow
Alto e Duro is an extra-high, extra-firm pillow filled with approximately 1,400 g of hypoallergenic polyester fibre, compared with the 600/800 g generally used in a traditional fibre pillow.
The densely packed filling makes it compact, supportive and resistant to flattening. Its initial height is approximately 18 cm, settling to around 15/16 cm after the first period of use.
It contains no Memory Foam, latex or polyurethane core. It can be used as a sleeping pillow, as firm back support while reading or as a leg elevation pillow.
Please note: this is an intentionally high and very firm pillow. It is suitable only for customers who already know that they prefer this type of support. It is not recommended for anyone looking for a medium, soft or deeply cushioning pillow.
For a slightly less extreme sleeping pillow, consider our 1,300 g firm pillow.
Extra-high and extra-firm pillow
Alto e Duro is designed to provide considerably firmer support than a standard fibre pillow. It contains approximately 1,400 g of high-density hypoallergenic polyester fibre, densely distributed and compressed to create a compact pillow with limited sinkage.
This is not a conventionally soft pillow. It adapts slightly under pressure while maintaining a stable and highly supportive feel.
Initial height and natural settling
The pillow has an initial height of approximately 18 cm. As it is made from compressed fibre rather than a rigid foam core cut to a fixed size, its height may vary slightly.
During the first period of use, the filling naturally settles and reaches an approximate height of 15/16 cm, while continuing to provide very firm support.
A deliberately firm pillow
The generous quantity of filling makes Alto e Duro suitable for customers who find traditional pillows too low or too yielding and specifically want a high, compact and rigid sleeping surface.
Pillow choice should always take into account sleeping position, shoulder width, body shape and personal comfort preferences. If you have neck or postural problems, seek professional advice before choosing an unusually high pillow.
Who is it suitable for?
- people already accustomed to very high and firm pillows;
- customers who find standard pillows too low or soft;
- anyone looking for compact back support while reading;
- those requiring firm support beneath the legs or feet;
- customers who prefer a pillow without a Memory Foam or latex core.
Who is it not suitable for?
This pillow is not recommended for anyone who prefers a low, medium, soft or deeply cushioning pillow. If you have never used such a high and firm pillow before, the 1,300 g model may provide a more gradual alternative.
Breathable fibre filling
The pillow contains no solid polyurethane, Memory Foam or latex core. Its height and firmness are created entirely by the generous amount of densely packed hypoallergenic polyester fibre.
The fibre construction allows air to circulate through the pillow. It can be plumped and reshaped periodically to redistribute the filling evenly.
Alternative uses
In addition to being used as a sleeping pillow, Alto e Duro can provide firm back support on a bed or sofa, support the upper body while reading or raise the legs during relaxation.
Washing and care
The pillow is machine washable according to the temperature and programme stated on its care label. After washing, redistribute the filling and allow the pillow to dry completely before use.
Returns and hygiene conditions
For hygiene reasons, returns must comply with our terms and conditions. The pillow must be kept in its original condition and returned complete with its original packaging. Before purchasing, please check carefully that its exceptional height and firmness match your requirements.
