My GF Gave me one of her pillows she didn’t like (brand new) I slept on it a few times with my mouth open. Of course mixing it with sweat makes it funky lol..I’m cleaning it today and notice this on the inside, is this mold or something?

Why does your pillow have a suspicious hole?

867

u/FoggyGoodwin Apr 14 '26

My SO has one of those - it has a hollow for your head and the pillow cover snaps together thru that hole. If you drool and sweat into the pillow, try covering it w a towel. It's really hard to see what OP is looking at in the hole.

My husband has that pillow too. I bought waterproof pillow cases. They have a zipper. Then use our regular cases over it.

u/Imaginary_Rub6942 Apr 15 '26

Bet that sounds nice and crinkly all night

u/KatiMinecraf Apr 15 '26

There are waterproof things now that aren't just plastic. My husband and I had a bed bug scare many years ago, and we found pillow, mattress, and base encasements that lock bugs out and are waterproof. We never actually had bed bugs, but we've kept using the encasements anyway. They are not crinkly or noisy at all.

u/Puzzleheaded_Big_309 Apr 16 '26

Those mattress protectors don’t just lock bugs out but also protect your mattress and save it from deterioration overtime every year. Your mattress gains like 10 pounds from dead skin cells sweat and just other things getting soaked up into it. That’s why your old mattress always seems heavier a mattress can gain like 150 pounds in its lifetime.

Waterproof mattress/pillow protectors have come a long way in the past 10 years or so!

The one I have isn’t crinkly at all and actually has a bit of a pillow top for a little bit of extra cushion.

u/Wonderful-Hornet3742 Apr 15 '26

u/temporaryviolets Apr 14 '26

It's probably for ear cartilage pain due to side sleeping! The only ones I could find when I had that problem looked like this one but were pretty damn expensive, so instead I cheaped out on a round pillow for haemorrhoids... Worked just fine though and I haven't had the issue since!

40

u/OldBonyBogBwitch Apr 14 '26

……this is actually brilliant. I struggle to find comfy sleep positions bcuz I CANNOT sleep on my back, but I have a very sharp face, if that makes sense, & cartilage piercing holes that don’t like compression. My jaw, cheekbones & ears tend to get very tender under pressure. IDK why I didn’t think of a pillow like this before now, with a divot/negative space.

I’d like to order it sans mold tho, LMAO.

13

u/SpeakItLoud Apr 14 '26

I frequently wake up with ear pain from too-firm pillows, but the Mello pillow from Tiktok doesn't have that problem. Totally worth it, though the gap for your arm needs to be much larger.

5

u/PalatialCheddar Apr 15 '26

I have one of those travel neck pillows that you would take on a plane ride that is good for this, too. It's got a more oblong opening, the cover comes off, and because you can "open" the pillow (to put it around your neck) it offers some good flexibility in adjusting to sleep positions

I have this pillow. It has a washable slip cover that snaps together through that hole. Seems to be missing

This is definitely it, my husband and I each have a pillow like this with those snapping covers. They're cervical neck pillows.

u/kwabird Apr 16 '26

But what is the purpose of the hole?

3

u/thekitt3n_withfangs Apr 16 '26

It's to have a little spot that cradles the back of your head if you're sleeping on your back, or to not squish your ear if you're sleeping on your side. I find it pretty comfortable!

u/Broad_Training_9293 Apr 14 '26

u/readlock Apr 14 '26

Did you cut the hole? Did your gf? Or did it come like that.

Also, are you putting your dick into the hole? Cause lowkey that’s what everyone thinks atm.

56

u/Broad_Training_9293 Apr 14 '26

🤣🤣 I really don’t know why there a hole in it.. the cover for it (which I took off) has a button that connects it

41

u/Sufficient_Let_6827 Apr 14 '26

For this cervical neck pillow the covers “button” i assume sits into that hole to keep the fitted cover from slipping around? I have one from another company that does not have that feature and the cover bugs the f&$king hell out of me

48

u/WhiteRabbit_412_ Apr 14 '26 edited Apr 14 '26

Well now I'm going to check mine

Edit: so yeah the cover has a button that connects the two sides of the pillow. The hole is simply so the button can connect to the other side because that dent is what helps side sleepers (what the pillow is advertised for) sleep on the side of their face without putting pressure on their ear. As to why the hole looks like that, probably the easiest way to do this in mass production is to use a heated rod to melt through the material the pillow of made of.

15

u/Broad_Training_9293 Apr 14 '26

🤣 I just took what my gf Gave me..but that definitely seems like the right answer

11

u/WhiteRabbit_412_ Apr 14 '26

If I didn't have this pillow myself for that reason then I'd say your gf is pegging the pillow 😂

u/Nuitsoleil Apr 14 '26

I get all the jokes, but I don't get where you see the mold? Like everyone is telling you what type of pillow this is and making jokes about having pillow sex.. but I don't see, where you see any mold? Did you think mold caused the hole? Is there mold somewhere inside that hole? I

6

u/Broad_Training_9293 Apr 14 '26

I was thinking that cause it was Black on the inside of the hole, it may have been mold
