Description
The Symbia 50 is one long pillow for side sleepers, made by Orthex in Canada. It lies along the body so the same pillow can support the top arm and the knee at once.
Who it suits
- Side sleepers who want one pillow under the arm and between the knees instead of two.
- Anyone who has been advised to keep a support between the knees or under the arm through the night.
- People who find a standard pillow too short to reach both.
Check the fit
- One size: 50 in long, 14 in wide and 8 in thick (127 x 35.5 x 20.3 cm).
- The maker's instruction is to lie on your side and align it so the arm and the leg are supported.
- It lies along the body, so allow its length beside you on the mattress.
- The maker publishes no weight limit for it.
The fill and the cover
- Two fills are blended inside: shredded gel infused memory foam and shredded high density polyurethane foam. The pillow holds the shape it is pushed into.
- The maker describes the support as adjustable, with customizable firmness for body alignment.
- The knitted coconut polyester cover lifts off and machine washes in cold water; lay it flat to dry, with no ironing and no bleach.
- The foam itself is not washable. Clean it locally with a damp cloth only.
- Allow two to three weeks to adapt, the period the maker states.
How it compares
This is a comfort pillow, not a wheelchair cushion. For seating, start with our foam wheelchair cushions or the wider cushion range.
Frequently asked questions
Is it only for side sleepers?
The maker builds it for side sleeping, where it supports the arm and the leg. Their wedges suit other positions better.
Can I buy just the cover?
Yes. Orthex sells the knitted cover on its own, and we can order it with the pillow. Ask us through contact.
Who handles the warranty?
The five year warranty is Orthex's own and claims go to them. Our warranty and service page explains how we help with a claim.
