Test result preview
As part of our product test, we take a closer look at the premium pillow from KNERST®. This pillow was developed to create a comfortable sleeping environment and promote a restful night’s sleep.
The Premium pillow is available in three different sizes to suit individual needs. It is made of a down-like polyester filling that provides a soft and cozy feeling. The material is also vegan and the cover is made from 100% cotton.
When examining the pillow, we noticed that it contains relatively little filling. As a result, the pillow offers little support and is particularly suitable for people who want a very soft pillow.
Nevertheless, the pillow offers a good sleeping position and can prevent neck pain. It is important that individual preferences are taken into account when choosing a pillow, particularly with regard to the desired firmness and support.
Advantages
- 100 % cotton
- Skin-friendly and suitable for allergy sufferers
- ClimatePartner / climate-neutral product
- Made in Germany
Disadvantages
- Little filling material

The KNERST® Premium pillow has been tested for its properties in various categories and shows very good results overall. The pillow impresses with its soft and breathable filling made of down-like polyester, which retains its shape even after prolonged use. The breathable materials help to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature.
In terms of hygiene, the KNERST® Premium pillow meets high standards. The cover is made of100% maco cotton, the materials are skin-friendly and also suitable for allergy sufferers. The pillow is also easy to clean as it can be machine washed at 60 degrees and dried flat.
The KNERST® Premium pillow is available in three different sizes (40×60 cm, 40×80 cm or 80×80 cm) to suit individual sleeping habits and lying positions. However, the test shows that the pillow has limitations in the support category. Due to its soft firmness, it only offers limited support and tends to sag quickly. This can lead to a reduction in support, especially for people who prefer firmer support.
Overall, the KNERST® Premium pillow offers a comfortable lying surface with high-quality materials and hygienic properties. People who prefer a soft surface and do not require strong support will be satisfied with this pillow.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. Some complain that the pillow is too soft and flat . On the other hand, the good workmanship and the disappearance of tension are positively emphasized. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the workmanship was very good, but we also had the impression that the pillow was too soft.
Prices of up to €69.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €17.98 . The premium pillow from KNERST® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €39.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
