Anatomic pillows
Memory pillow with a perfect support for head and neck.
Guide to choosing an anatomical pillow
DaunenStep anatomical pillows include solutions with different shapes, materials and levels of support. From traditionally shaped models to memory foam pillows and double-wave designs, the choice mainly depends on the desired comfort feel and the type of support required for the head and neck.
Quick answer
How do you choose an anatomical pillow?
When choosing an anatomical pillow, the main factors to consider are shape, material and level of support. A classic soap-shaped design maintains a more traditional profile, while a double-wave structure offers two different support heights. Memory foam models adapt to the shape of the head and neck, while more structured solutions such as Fisio provide more defined anatomical support.
Quick comparison
Which DaunenStep anatomical pillow should you choose?
The four models in the range differ mainly in construction, material and type of support. The table allows you to compare their main features at a glance.
Anatomical or cervical pillow: what is the difference?
The term anatomical pillow generally describes a pillow with a structure designed to provide more defined support for the head and neck. A cervical pillow often has a more specific shape, such as a double-wave profile, designed to provide different support options around the neck area.
The distinction therefore does not only concern the material used: the shape of the pillow also plays an important role. In the DaunenStep range, Memo Anatomico combines memory foam with a double-wave shape, while Memo Classico uses the same type of material with a more traditional shape.
Anatomical memory foam pillow: how does it work?
In the Memo Classico and Memo Anatomico models, the filling is made of 100% viscoelastic foam. The material adapts to the shape of the head and neck and retains the acquired shape for a few moments before gradually returning to its original form.
The main difference between the two models is the shape: Memo Classico has a classic soap shape, more similar to a traditional pillow, while Memo Anatomico has a double-height wave structure.
Is a classic shape or a double wave better?
A pillow with a classic soap shape maintains a more uniform surface and a familiar profile. It is suitable for those who want to experience the comfort of memory foam while retaining a structure similar to that of a traditional pillow.
A double-wave pillow, on the other hand, offers two different heights. This construction allows you to choose the side that provides the support feel best suited to your personal preferences.
When should you choose a more structured anatomical pillow?
Those looking for a more defined anatomical structure can consider Fisio. The model uses a shape-retaining anatomical inner structure combined with two outer chambers filled with PrimaLoft® Bio™, pairing a firmer internal construction with a softer outer surface.
Fisio is also classified as a Class I medical device.
Sleeping position also matters
In addition to shape and material, it is important to consider your usual sleeping position. Side and back sleepers generally tend to look for more noticeable support, while stomach sleepers may prefer a lower and less structured pillow.

Frequently asked questions
Anatomical pillow FAQ
What is an anatomical pillow for?
An anatomical pillow has a structure designed to provide more defined support for the head and neck than a traditionally constructed pillow. Shape, material and level of support can vary considerably from one model to another.
What is the difference between an anatomical pillow and a cervical pillow?
“Anatomical” is a broader term and includes pillows with structures designed to provide defined support for the head and neck. Pillows described as cervical often have a specific shape, such as a double wave, which provides different support areas or heights.
What is the difference between Memo Classico and Memo Anatomico?
Both use 100% viscoelastic foam. Memo Classico has a traditional soap-shaped profile, while Memo Anatomico uses a double-height wave shape.
What is a double-wave memory foam pillow?
It is a viscoelastic foam pillow with a wave-shaped surface featuring two different heights. This shape allows you to use the side that provides the support feel best suited to your preferences.
Which DaunenStep anatomical pillow provides more structured support?
Fisio uses a shape-retaining anatomical inner structure combined with two outer PrimaLoft® Bio™ chambers and is the model in the range with the most articulated anatomical construction.
Is an anatomical memory foam pillow or a polyurethane pillow better?
It depends on the desired comfort feel. The viscoelastic foam used in the Memo models adapts to the shape of the head and neck, while Anatomico Classico uses an anatomical polyurethane core with a simpler and more stable construction. The choice therefore depends mainly on your personal support preferences.
