Pillow menu
Don't just sleep well, relax properly.
With our small selection of pillows, we do our part to ensure
that you can spend really restful nights with us at the Adler Adelboden

Swiss stone pine pillow
Swiss stone pine improves the quality of sleep and lowers the heart rate. The depth of sleep is improved and the ability to recover increases. And if you sleep better and deeper, you can get by with less sleep.

Millet pillow
Millet has a calming effect. The individual shaping of the pillow and the shifting of the small, soft millet shells make this pillow particularly suitable for supporting the sensitive neck area and the cervical spine.

Neck roll
A neck roll not only provides relaxation in the neck area but also helps to stabilize the back. This can often prevent problems and significantly reduce pain.

The best thing to do is simply try out one of our pillows.
You are welcome to make your request at reception or by calling 100
daily until 19.00h and we will put the pillow in your room.
You can test it during your entire stay,
but you are also welcome to change it again.
