11 of the best pillows for a good night’s sleep

If you’ve been dreaming of a good night’s sleep, Coop Home Goods’ Eden Shredded Memory Foam Pillow is a top pick for breathability, comfort, and design. 
Its fabric, which is made of bamboo-derived viscose rayon and polyester, increases breathability while you rest. Coop Home Goods’ Eden memory foam is shredded to prevent clumping and provide you with better air circulation. Plus, a cooling gel memory foam keeps you at a comfortable temperature, so you won’t sweat or feel too hot in bed. 
Comfort is another plus of this pillow, because you’ll get the proper neck support while you sleep. The edges of the pillow slope together and fill gets pushed out to the area under your neck to keep you cozy and pain-free. 
Back, side, and stomach sleepers will appreciate this shredded foam pillow as well. Its adjustable design features an outer cover and a zippered liner, so you can add or remove fill from the pillow to accommodate your favorite sleep position. 
Coop Home Goods has a 100-day money back guarantee for this pillow, so if you’re unsatisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Patricia B, an Amazon customer, writes:

“I had purchased a body pillow by Coop Home Goods and it was just incredible: the right balance of full and flexible, soft but not mushy. I have no clue why I decided that buying FIVE other pillows from other places was a good idea: My Pillow (too small not supportive), My Pillow Plus (too big but then it just mooshed down), the “amazing” bamboo pillow, a pillow from Berkeley Sleep Systems, yet another foam pillow that let you adjust the amount of foam. They were either lacking in enough support or ended up feeling like sleeping on an immovable rock. Because NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE will use this pillow but me.”

And janf, another Amazon reviewer, says:

“I purchased two king Eden pillows and received them a couple of weeks ago. When I opened the packages, the pillows plumped up quickly on their own but I did put them in the dryer, one at a time, with a dryer sheet for a few minutes. There was very little odor that diminished within a day or so and was certainly not unpleasant nor did it interfere with our sleep. That info is in the description so we expected it. We did not have to remove any filling because the “fit” was perfect. They are soft enough to be comfortable and firm enough not to flatten out so that’s a big plus. My husband can fall asleep quickly and now I do as well.” 

Side sleeper? Brookstone’s BioSense 2-in-1 Shoulder Pillow is your best rest companion for its pressure-relieving support, head and neck contouring, and cooling air flow. 
Specially made for side sleepers, this two-in-one pillow is soft on the outside and has lightweight support outside. Its outer cover is filled with Better Than Down microfill that’s hypoallergenic, while the inside has a BioSense memory foam core that contours your head and neck and offers pressure-relieving support. Perforation patterns in the memory foam keep moisture at bay and support cooling air flow. You’ll be able to sleep comfortably on your side without tossing or turning at night. 
Did we mention that this pillow is easy to clean? Just remove the microfiber cover and place in the laundry for seamless maintenance. Plus, its BioSense memory foam is made with charcoal, green tea, and seed oil to neutralize odors. 
Brookstone has a one-year limited warranty for its products, but you’ll have to contact their warranty service for authorization on repairs and replacements. 
Wren Caulfield, an Amazon reviewer, writes:

“Have had this pillow only two nights, so I can’t speak to longevity, but it’s NEARLY the perfect pillow for a side sleeper. I have searched high and low for a pillow that doesn’t cause me to sleep with my shoulder smashed up to my ear. This thing is perfect (or nearly so–I’ll get to that in a minute) because the core is firm, but the top layer is soft–no sore ears and no smashed shoulders! My only complaint is that it’s not quite thick enough. BUT, it unzips, so I’ve hacked it by adding two one-inch layers of regular-old foam (got at the craft store), cut to the same shape as the memory foam, and squeezed in under the memory foam.” 

Back sleepers who need a better night’s sleep will like Nature’s Guest Cervical Support Pillow, which promotes cervical support and allows customizable firmness. 
As a top pick for this sleeping position group, this pillow’s contoured design provides proper head, neck, and spine alignment. Recommended by some chiropractors, it features a neck roll cushion for added back support. It’s specially made for back sleepers who also shift to their side and its gusseted edges help you move easily during sleep. 
You can also customize firmness from soft to medium. Unzip the pillow to access the filling and you can adjust the filling in the neck roll area and side sleeping areas to make it more comfortable.
Even though this pillow is not laundry-friendly, it can be hand-washed if there are any leaks, spills, or stains. 
Nature’s Guest does provide a 30-day money back guarantee, so if you’re not happy with the pillow, you can return it within a month of purchase for a full refund. 
Amazon customer rcpmom writes: 

“I have three bulging discs and many bone spurs for a long time. I had been in severe pain since November. Nothing helped. I have tried so many pillows I’ve lost count. Four nights on this pillow and my neck pain is pretty much gone, was greatly improved after one night. It is comfortable to sleep on. Fill does move around, I have to push it back to the center and the neck support rolls about every two nights but it is worth it. I fell asleep on it right away the first night. Usually takes me several nights to get used to a new pillow. It cradles your head nicely. It can be flipped or turned around. Thank you, Nature’s Guest. I was getting desperate to find something that helped.”

Stomach sleepers, rejoice. TruContour’s Super Thin Memory Foam Pillow is here to help you rest easy on your bellies. 
This low-profile, super thin pillow is perfect for stomach sleepers who want to reduce neck discomfort and improve posture. A medical-grade memory foam material provides good comfort and support, so you won’t have to worry about the pillow sagging or wearing out. 
Breathability is another benefit of this pillow. Its double-knit cover is made with certified organic cotton and promotes greater airflow while you sleep. 
Have allergies? No worries. The pillow and its cover are made with hypoallergenic materials, so they won’t attract dust mites or other allergens. 
If you’re not happy with the pillow, TruContour gives you the option of a 30-day money back guarantee and a one-year warranty. You can receive a full refund within 30 days after purchase or if the pillow breaks within 12 months of buying it, you can send it to TruContour and they’ll ship you a brand new one for free. 
BethInMichigan, an Amazon reviewer, says: 

“This is a wonderfully comfortable pillow, perfect for back and stomach sleepers. I usually sleep on my stomach, and big fluffy pillows just crick my neck too high, so I end up using no pillow at all. This one is perfect and the memory foam is nice and soft and squishy, not the super-firm hard type. It is also easily folded in half if you want a little more lift. From day one there was absolutely no scent to it at all, that some memory foam tends to have at first. The organic cotton pillow case is nice and thick. For me, this pillow is perfect and if you prefer a thinner, softer pillow, you will definitely love it!”

Triple Cloud’s Shredded Memory Foam Pillow  provides all the quality sleep perks at a fraction of the price. 
Great for back, side, and stomach sleepers, its bamboo-shredded memory foam material makes all the magic happen. The mixture of this material provides more breathability, comfort, and support for a good night’s sleep. You’ll never want to get out of bed, because this pillow is super soft and will help you drift off to dreamland in no time. 
Unlike other pillows, this model is adjustable to meet your sleep preferences. You can unzip the cover and take out foam to achieve the right firmness. Regardless of which sleeping position you prefer, you can customize this pillow to make it softer or firmer. 
Cleaning is also a breeze. The cover and pillow are laundry-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about leaks, stains, or spills damaging them. 
The best part? Triple Cloud’s five-year never flat guarantee ensures that your pillow won’t go flat with use. They say even after machine-washing it, it will go back to its original shape and continue to give support. If you find a model that’s better than this one, they’ll give you a refund for free. 
Amazon customer Amanda writes:

“I have similar cooling memory foam pillows ($125+ for a pair) and I have actually been using THIS one the past few nights instead. I like that it is not SOOO full and bulky that it hurts my neck to sleep on my side or stomach with it. I’ve tried to adjust my more expensive pillows by removing some of the foam inside, but it seems like if they’re not completely packed full, the foam just moves around to the side and you’re stuck with a limp pillow where your head just sinks through. This pillow, I didn’t have to adjust at all (although the instructions say you can). Honestly, I’m considering loading my king sized bed up with these pillows to replace all of my others!”

Reducing your carbon footprint and achieving a good night’s sleep aren’t as difficult as you think. Avocado’s Green Pillow is the ultimate rest companion for optimal comfort and its eco-friendly materials. 
This pillow has three key materials: certified organic cotton, kapok fiber, and natural latex.  Latex rubber ribbons make this pillow super durable and help you stay at a comfortable temperature. Kapok fiber, a sustainable alternative to conventional down, is hypoallergenic and conforms with your body. You can take out the fill as well to customize the firmness of the pillow. Certified organic cotton wicks moisture too, so you won’t have to worry about sweating or overheating in bed. 
The Avocado Green Pillow is not laundry-friendly, so you’ll have to spot clean it with a damp white cloth. You can also gently wash the pillow in cold water sans bleach.
Avocado’s pillows are also GREENGUARD Gold Certified by UL Environment, meaning that they meet the highest compliance standards for eco-conscious production. 
With the pillow, you’ll get a 100-night trial and one-year warranty. If you’re not satisfied with the Avocado Green Pillow after 100 days, you can return it for a full refund. You’ll have to contact Avocado for details on the one-year warranty and what it covers.  
Avocado customer Michele J. writes:

“This is one of the best pillows I’ve ever had. The organic cotton cover is soft and I love that it has a zipper so I can adjust the amount of filling. The pillow was a little firm for me, as I am a side and stomach sleeper, so I removed some of the filling and now it’s perfect! It cradles my neck beautifully and I love that the latex and kapok is all natural and organic. I am slowly converting all of my bedding to organic and will start saving now for one of your mattresses. They look heavenly! Thank you!”

No one enjoys waking up with head, neck, or shoulder pain. UTTU’s Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow can help you keep pain at bay and catch up on ZZZs. 
Regardless of your preferred sleep position, this pillow’s adjustable height design allows you to customize firmness. You can remove the middle layer or add it to get the comfort you need on your back, on your side, or on your stomach. 
UTTU Dynamic Foam provides you with great pressure relief. It won’t lose its shape and confirms to the natural curve of your body for optimal support. It helps minimize neck pain, decrease shoulder stiffness, and increase proper spine alignment. 
If you have allergies, this pillow will work great for your sleep needs. It’s made with hypoallergenic materials, including bamboo fiber and polyester, so you won’t have congestion while you sleep. Plus, the pillow meets compliance regulations for CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX, meaning that it doesn’t contain formaldehyde or heavy metals. 
This pillow also hits the spot for easy cleaning. Just take off the cover and you can place it in the wash for stress-free laundering. 
Like other models, this pillow comes with a 96-night, 100 percent satisfaction guarantee and a five-year warranty for quality-related problems. You’ll have to contact UTTU if you would like to receive a refund or submit a warranty claim.
Amazon customer angelB says: 

“I’d been getting neck pains upon waking which caused headaches so I decided to try a new pillow. I chose this memory foam after experiencing one at a B & B in the U.K. I sleep primarily on my side and use the larger size, plus I kept the insert in the pillow which was perfect for me (medium frame). This pillow is so much better than anything else I have used. I have a much better nights sleep proven by my fitbit record and don’t wake up with neck pain.”

If allergies are taking a toll on your sleep routine, Pacific Coast’s AllerRest Double DownAround Pillow can help. 
Pacific Coasts’ AllerRest fabric is the ultimate barrier for pesky allergens, including dust mites. It provides the right protection, so you can rest easy without congestion, coughing, or sneezing. 
The pillow also offers the comfort and support needed for most sleeping positions. The inside of the pillow offers medium support for your head, neck, shoulders, and back with Resilia feathers, while 550 fill power Hyperclean down gives the ultimate soft feels for a good night’s sleep.
Concerned about cleaning? This pillow packs in convenience when it comes to the dirty work. You can place it in the washer and dryer if there are any leaks, stains, or spills on it. Pacific Coast uses a specific cleaning process to ensure that its pillows are allergy-free.
A 30-night comfort guarantee, an allergy free warranty, and a five-year warranty come with the pillow. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, you can return the pillow for free. 
Lina, a Pacific Coast reviewer, says:

“This is the pillow I’ve been looking for! I have allergies so I’m careful about replacing pillows and covers, and after going through a few unsatisfactory pillows I really have enjoyed this one. This is the standard size and I will probably also get the king size ones as well.”

The Leesa mattress topped our roundup of best mattress options, which makes it no surprise the brand’s pillow ranks just as impressively. Like the supportive mattress, the Leesa Hybrid pillow is made in the USA, comes with free shipping, and includes a 100-night trial period so you can be sure you’ve found your match made in pillow heaven.
This hybrid pillow features a reversible design with a quilted, soft, down-like top and a cooling, memory foam gel on the bottom. Essentially, you’re getting two pillows in one — a fluffy, traditional pillow and cooling gel side — thanks to the clever hybrid design.  So if you’re someone who tends to heat up as you sleep, switching to the cooling side will offer sweet relief. 
Stomach sleepers may want to skip this one since it’s a bit more elevated, making it better suited for those who tend to sleep on their side or back. If you’re dead-set on the brand but a devoted stomach sleeper, the pillow does have a removable insert to make it a bit thinner and comfortable for catching some face-down z’s. 
Here’s what reviewer, Rachel, had to say about the Leesa hybrid pillow:

“I used to use a Tempurpedic foam pillow until I started waking up with neck pain every morning. The Leesa pillow is awesome. It’s cool, soft but keeps it’s shape and firm enough to support my neck as a side sleeper without feeling like a rock under my head. It is exactly what I was looking for!”

If you’re a Goldilocks type of pillow-searcher — not too soft, not too firm, just looking for somewhere right in the middle — you’ll rest easy with the Beckham Hotel Collection Gel Pillow. 
This pillow offers medium-level support, so you’ll avoid any neck strain while still getting enough cushion for a good night’s sleep thanks to a poly-gel fiber blend filling. Plus, you’ll be getting two pillows for the price of one so whether it’s for a partner, your dog, or yourself, your bed will be set. 
Unlike memory foam pillows, the Beckham Hotel Collection’s gel design ensures a flexible level of support, without causing the weird, uncomfortable forms that often start to take shape after a few weeks of laying your head down on memory foam. They boast a dust, mite, and mildew resistant material, plus they’re allergen and chemical-free so those with sensitivities can breathe easier. When spills happen or it’s time for a  refresh, you can toss them in the washer and be met by a clump-free pillow afterwards since they’re safely machine washable. 

Much like the Tuft & Needle mattresses, theTuft & Needle pillow comes filled with the same innovative Adaptive Foam that made the bed-in-a-box brand a success. 
The specialized foam pairs the contouring benefits of memory foam with enough bounce-back to last for the long haul. We’ve all been there: You get the perfect pillow, only to wake up to find the contents of your pillow taking on a permanently indented, avant-garde shape after just a few weeks of counting sheep. 
Because of its soft yet supportive foam core, the Tuft & Needle pillow held up in a lab simulation putting it through 10 years of use. (I mean, can you even imagine having the same pillow for a decade?) Since it comes with a washable plush cover, you can keep things germ-free and comfy for years to come. 
Tuft & Needle’s pillow is best suited for people who tend to sleep on their side or back, so if you’re a stomach sleeper you’ll probably want to pass. 
Here’s what pillow-reviewer, Susan, had to say about her Tuft & Needle pillow: 

“I have loved this pillow from the moment I first laid my head on it. I am mostly a side sleeper, and the distance from shoulder to neck is perfect. The “loft” is just right, in that your head sinks in comfortably, but not so much as to interfere with breathing. I have been sleeping through the night since using this pillow and wake without the neck pain I generally experience with other pillows. It requires no breaking in and does not change shape over time. I am thrilled with this pillow!”
