Premier Inn pillow: soft or firm, size, fill and price

The Premier Inn pillow is a down alternative pillow filled with soft, low denier hollowfibre, measuring 44 x 76 cm and sold in soft or firm. The Premier Inn shop sells them in packs of two for GBP 36, and says these are the same products used in its hotel rooms.

These specs come from Comfie's own dataset of 102 hotel pillows from 42 hotels and hotel brands, collected on 8 November 2026 from hotel shops, menus and official pages. The price is the list price shown by the Premier Inn shop that day. For the wider picture, see what pillows hotels actually use.

What pillow does Premier Inn use?

That works out at GBP 18 a pillow, the lowest list price per pillow in our dataset. Premier Inn is one of only three economy hotels we could include, because few budget hotels publish their pillow details at all.

What is the difference between the Premier Inn soft and firm pillow?

The amount of fill. Both versions use the same hollowfibre in the same 44 x 76 cm size. The soft pillow holds 550 g of fill and the firm pillow holds 800 g, about 45% more.

That is the pattern across European hotel shops: firm usually means more fill, not a different fill. The ibis 50 x 70 cm pillow uses 800 g in soft and 1,000 g in firm, and the Pullman 65 x 65 cm pillow uses 1,000 g in soft and 1,650 g in firm. We go through the numbers in are hotel pillows firm or soft?

Should you choose the soft or firm Premier Inn pillow?

Choose by the way you sleep, the same way you would pick from a hotel pillow menu:

• Side sleepers usually suit the firm pillow, as the extra fill keeps the head level with the shoulder.
• Back and stomach sleepers usually suit the soft pillow, which sits lower.
• If you are not sure, the guide to soft, medium or firm pillows walks through it.

What size is a Premier Inn pillow?

44 x 76 cm. That is narrower than the 50 x 75 cm often given as the UK standard. In fact, the textbook 50 x 75 cm did not appear in any UK hotel source we collected. The UK sizes we found were:

• Premier Inn: 44 x 76 cm
• Tielle pillows reported for Claridge's and Rosewood London: 48 x 74 cm standard, 50 x 90 cm super king
• The Dorchester: 50 x 80 cm, as reported

The Claridge's, Rosewood London and Dorchester details come from press reports or a search snapshot rather than the hotels' own pages, so treat them as reported. Before buying pillowcases, check our guide to pillow sizes by country.

How does Premier Inn compare with other UK hotels?
