Posh Tag V Shaped Pillow 140 x 30cm — With or Without Pillowcase

A V shaped pillow that does more than one job

A V pillow sits behind your head and shoulders with the arms coming forward on either side, so it supports your neck, upper back and both arms at once. That makes it the pillow people reach for when they are sitting up rather than lying down — reading, feeding a baby, working in bed, or recovering from surgery. Turned around, the V cradles your neck from behind for sleeping.

Filled with 100% Pure Virgin Hollow Fiber and made at our own base in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. 140 x 30cm along the arms. Choose a pack of 1 or 2, with or without a matching V shaped pillowcase.

What people use it for

• Pregnancy. Supports the bump when lying on your side, or the back and neck when sitting up. Less bulky than a full body pillow and easier to move around.
• Sitting up in bed. Reading, working on a laptop, watching something — the arms stop your shoulders rolling forward, which is what makes sitting up in bed uncomfortable after twenty minutes.
• Feeding and nursing. Takes the weight off your arms and shoulders.
• Post-surgery and recovery. Commonly used after chest, shoulder or abdominal surgery where lying flat is uncomfortable.
• Neck support while sleeping. Flipped over, the V cradles the neck and stops your head rolling to one side.
• Acid reflux and congestion. Sleeping propped up rather than flat helps both.

Frequently asked questions

What pillowcase fits a V shaped pillow?

You need a V shaped pillowcase — a standard 50 x 75cm case will not fit around the arms. We sell this pillow with a matching case as an option, which is simpler than hunting for one separately. Standard pillow dimensions are set out in the pillow size guide.

How do you use a V pillow?

Two ways. Point of the V at the top, arms forward on either side of you, for sitting up — this is the usual position. Or turn it upside down so the V cradles your neck for sleeping. Some people also use it sideways to support a bump during pregnancy.

Is a V pillow good for neck pain?

It can help if your neck pain comes from your head rolling sideways at night, because the arms hold it centred. If the pain is caused by your everyday pillow being the wrong height, fix that first — our pillow firmness guide covers it. Persistent neck pain is worth seeing a GP or physiotherapist about rather than solving with a pillow.

V pillow or U shaped pillow for pregnancy?

The V is smaller, easier to reposition and better for sitting up. The U shaped pillow wraps around you completely and supports the bump and back at the same time, but takes up much more of the bed. Many people use a V early in pregnancy and move to a U later.

Can it be washed?

Yes — machine washable, low tumble dry. Adding the pillowcase option means you can wash the case weekly and the pillow itself only two or three times a year. See how to wash pillows.

Made here, sold direct

We fill these ourselves on Fieldhouse Industrial Estate in Rochdale, with more than fifteen years in textiles behind them — which is why the arms hold their shape instead of going limp where they meet the V. Email support@poshtag.co.uk or call +44 7414 441213, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

Often bought together

Choose the with pillowcase option if you expect to wash it often — V shaped cases are hard to buy separately. For full-length support alongside it, see our bolster body pillow, and for your everyday head pillow the hotel pillow. Orders over £30 ship free, so a pack of 2 with cases usually clears the threshold.
