The best pillows you can buy for your bed
The best pillow overall
“Ahhh.” That’s the sigh of contentment you’ll utter as your weary head meets the Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow. It's the number-one best-selling pillow on Amazon, and it's filled with shredded memory foam. You’ll get the support and comfortable “sinking in” sensation of a traditional memory foam pillow, but none of the excessive heat or firmness that can be a problem with solid foam.
What makes the Coop Home Goods pillow particularly wonderful is that it’s adjustable. You can unzip the inner pillow cover to add or remove foam until the pillow is just the way you like it. It’s also hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant, so you won’t wake up sniffly or congested. When it’s time to clean the pillow, no problem — Just toss it in your washing machine and dryer. We recommend that you add another pillow or a blanket to balance the load, along with a couple of clean tennis balls to help fluff up the foam.
Coop Home Goods’ proprietary shredded memory foam is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it’s guaranteed to be free of chemicals and toxins you really don’t want to sleep with, such as formaldehyde, lead, mercury, ozone depleters, PBDEs, phthalates, and TCEP flame retardants. Manufactured in California, the pillow has a 30-day guarantee, so if you don’t love it, you can return it with no questions asked.
Sleep Like the Dead found that 89% of buyers love the Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow. In fact, it’s the highest-rated memory foam pillow on the site. That matches Amazon’s numbers, where out of an astounding 12,200+ reviews, 85% give the pillow four or more stars.
Hundreds of buyers call this the best pillow they’ve ever owned, praise its breathability and adjustability, and love the way it supports their neck and head. As one pleased reviewer wrote, “It’s like sleeping on an adjustable cloud.” The most common negative comments were in regard to the pillow’s odor, which can be strong initially, but fades away within a day or two.
The Premium Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow has a polyester/bamboo cover that is cool and comfortable for sleep, and it's easily removed for washing. Inside, there’s an interlock knit cover to contain the foam. Both covers have zippers so you can access the foam for easy adjustment.
Pros: Adjustable loft, very supportive and comfortable, not too hot
Cons: Some initial odor, you have to let it expand from vacuum-sealed packaging

The Leesa Hybrid pillow is the perfect pillow for anyone who wants the firm support of a memory foam pillow and the soft cushy feel of a down pillow at the same time. The combination seems impossible, but Leesa has done it.
The Hybrid Pillow has a down-like quilted pocket layer on one side, a firmer, ventilated gel comfort layer on the other side, and a removable pillow insert between these two layers. The multi-layered approach makes this a very customizable pillow.
You can take the quilted pillowtop part off and use the firmer pillow base, you can flip it over and sleep on the cool gel side, or you can take the firm center out and just use the fluffy quilted top as your pillow.
I've been sleeping on this pillow for months now and I love it. The gel pillow base is firm enough to make me feel like I'm still sleeping on my memory foam pillow, but the soft, quilted down alternative topper makes it more comfortable to rest my head on the pillow at night. I'm a side sleeper, so I need support, but sometimes my very firm memory foam pillow can hurt my ears if I stay on one side for too long (the human head is heavy!)
I'm not the only person who loves this pillow, either. Several other Insider Picks staffers tried it and loved it. Nonbiased Reviews also recommends it highly.
The only real downside here is that this pillow is expensive at $125 to $135. However, given how versatile it is and the fact that it will last you for years, it's well worth the price. It's also not a huge risk because you can use it for 100 nights and if you decide you hate it, you can return it — no questions asked.
If you still have qualms, Leesa's philanthropy should assuage your concerns a bit. The pillow is part of Leesa's One-Ten Program, in which one pillow is donated for every 10 sold.
Pros: Firm pillow base, soft pillow top, adjustable design, cooling gel layer, 100 night trial
Cons: Expensive
Buy the Leesa Hybrid Pillow for $99 (originally $125) or $109 (originally $135)The best down pillow
Some inferior down pillows are really stuffed mostly with feathers. That means you run the risk of being poked by a stray quill. Plus, feathers are not as soft and fluffy as down. The Royal Hotel Goose Down Pillow is filled with 100% goose down, which is much fluffier than less desirable duck down, so you’ll enjoy a luxuriously comfortable night of sleep.
Royal Hotel doesn’t skimp on the down, either. With a 750 fill power and 35-ounce fill weight, you’re getting lots of downy comfort in a very supportive pillow that isn’t too soft and isn’t too firm. Plus, the down is sanitized to remove allergens and bacteria, so you can enjoy the pillow even if you are usually allergic to feathers. The cover of the pillow is 100% cotton, with a 500-thread count, so it’s soft and smooth, but strong enough to contain the down.
Amazon buyers love this pillow, with 83% of the 400+ reviewers giving it four or more stars. Reviewers say, “these pillows are wonderfully full and hold their loft through the night,” “the best pillows ever,” and “very nice pillows, well-filled and they do not collapse under the weight of your head.” Many customers commented that the pillows were firmer than they expected, which might be good or bad depending on your preference.
Sleep Like the Dead also likes the Royal Hotel down pillows, reporting that 87% of surveyed customers were very pleased with their purchase.
For down pillows, the price is actually quite reasonable, but Royal Hotel only sells the pillows by the pair, making it a more expensive purchase overall.
Pros: High quality down, firm, comfortable support
Cons: Only sold by the pair, may have a faint “feathery” smell at first

Saatva has taken the same layered concept that has worked so well in its luxury mattresses, and applied it to the Saatva pillow. If you’re looking for a way to add some high-end comfort to your bed, adding a couple of these pillows to your collection of bedding is a worthwhile investment. I experienced this comfort first hand, and was impressed with the head and neck support it offered. It reaches a perfect middle ground of feeling soft and plush while being just firm enough to keep its shape throughout the night. I never once woke up with a flattened pillow or sore neck.
The “Goldilocks” affect created by the Saatva pillow is thanks to its 3-layer construction. The core of the pillow consists of shredded Talalay latex, creating a foundation of support your head and neck will be grateful for. This core is surrounded by microdenier fiber—a down-like alternative that gives you the same feel of a down pillow with no feathers involved. The breathable 100% organic cotton cover makes up the third layer, wicking away any moisture and helping you stay cool throughout the night. Put all three layers together and you have a pillow that both looks—and feels—like the type of pillow you’d find on the beds of a 5-star hotel. It comes in queen or king sizes too so you can find the perfect fit for you and your bed.
Back and side sleepers will likely be the most comfortable on the Saatva pillow, while some stomach sleepers may find the loft too high to sleep comfortably. I typically sleep on my stomach, and found that to be the case when in this position. However, when I slept on my back or side, I had no issues. My boyfriend sleeps almost exclusively on his back, and he felt that this pillow helped him sleep more soundly through the night. I also noticed less snoring, so it was a win-win for both of us. If you are a stomach sleeper but don’t want to miss out on the luxury, the inner pillow or “core” can easily be removed, giving the pillow a slimmer profile that you may find better suited to your sleeping position. The cover itself can also be unzipped and removed for washing.
There is no skimping on quality here, and while the price does reflect that, the great nights of sleep I’ve had on this pillow justify the price. At the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with investing in better quality sleep. Not only is it good for you, those you interact with daily will likely be grateful as well.
I wasn’t the only one impressed with both the quality and the comfort of the Saatva pillow. Saatva Dreams reviewer Laura R. says, “After my great experience with my sheets, I purchased my Saatva Pillow. Even more amazing! You can literally see the quality when you look at it. My neck is supported yet comfortable at the same time.” Sleepopolis also gave the Saatva pillow a positive review saying the “multilayered construction combines to offer a harmony of fluffy comfort and responsive support.”— Kylie Joyner
Pros: Latex core and outer layer of microdenier fiber provides a supportive yet plush feel, removable cover for easy washing, keeps its shape throughout the night, core can be removed to adjust the loft
Cons: Expensive, some stomach sleepers may find the loft too high
Buy the the Saatva pillow starting at $145The best buckwheat hull pillow
Confession: I’ve been sleeping on the twin Zen Chi Buckwheat Hull Pillow for several years now. In fact, I’ve gone through two of them. I’ve tried a lot of pillows over the years — memory foam, shredded memory foam, latex, polyester, and several specialty fills as well — but I have never stuck with any other type of pillow for as long as the buckwheat hulls.
I’m a restless sleeper and love the way I can squish the buckwheat hulls out flat to sleep comfortably on my stomach, and then bunch them up a few minutes later when I flip over to my side. Plus, as a “hot sleeper,” this is the best fill I’ve found to avoid the dreaded sweaty head wake up.
Zen Chi uses 100 percent organically grown buckwheat to fill its pillows and 100% cotton for the case. There’s a zipper, so you can actually adjust the fill of the pillow. Add more hulls for a firmer, loftier pillow, or remove some if you prefer a softer, flatter feel. And even if you leave the pillow as is, the beauty of a buckwheat hull pillow is its supreme adjustability. Because you can mold the pillow any way you like it, you can support your head, neck, and upper body for the most comfortable sleep.
Amazon users are very enthusiastic about the pillow. Out of the 600+ reviews for the queen size, 76% give it four stars or more. Many buyers commented that it took a couple of nights to get used to the pillow’s feel, but once they did, they loved the support and adjustability. Buckwheat hulls are definitely not soft, but thanks to the pillow’s beanbag feel, they don’t feel uncomfortably hard, either.
One reviewer wrote: “I thought it might be too hard on my ears, but it's not. I finally wake up without a crick in my neck, which was the case with every other pillow I've ever owned.” Many owners also praised the coolness of the pillow.
On the downside, the slight crinkly sound of the shifting hulls bothered some owners. This has never been an issue for me, however. Other customers complain about the pillow’s weight, and it is indeed very heavy. Still, the overall comfort outweighs the minor issues.
Pros: Stays cool, adjusts to any position, firm support
Cons: Heavy, noisy, some people find it too hard
Buy the queen Zen Chi Buckwheat Hull Pillow on Amazon for $39.95 (originally $69.95)The best contour pillow
Like all contour pillows, the Sleep Innovations Cool Contour Memory Foam Pillow has two gentle slopes — one slightly higher than the other, so you can choose the side that best fits your neck — with a shallow valley in the center for your head. Unlike most other contour pillows, this one has an upper layer of cooling open-cell memory foam over a core of denser, traditional memory foam for extra support. That means you won’t wake up hot and sweaty, as is often a problem with regular memory foam pillows.
The firm, yet moldable support gently cradles your head and neck, relieving pressure that often leads to aches and pains. The shape of the contour pillow fills in the gap between your neck and the mattress, keeping your spine in proper alignment while you snooze. That’s why so many chiropractors recommend contour pillows to their patients.
This particular contour pillow is certainly recommended by a lot of Amazon buyers. In fact, it has an average of 4 stars with more than 2,300 reviews. That’s impressive for a contour pillow — They often suffer negative feedback due to their unfamiliar shape and the “adjustment period” for many sleepers.
Many Amazon buyers commented on this, saying that they didn’t like the pillow the first few nights, but came to appreciate its unique shape and firm memory foam support. Others remarked that it took a couple of nights to determine which of the two outer curves best fit their neck. But then, most said, they really enjoyed the pillow and had much less pain in the mornings.
One the downside, like all memory foam, there can be a chemical smell in the beginning, and the firmness might be more than you like. Unlike traditionally shaped pillows, there is only one “right” side to a contour pillow, and it’s not a suitable pillow for stomach sleepers.
The pillow comes with a terry velour cover that removes for easy washing.
Pros: Good for those with neck, shoulder, or upper body pain; firm support
Cons: Not everyone likes the shape of a contour pillow, some adjustment usually required

Just because a pillow is inexpensive doesn’t mean it can’t also be comfortable. The Smart Home Bedding Super Plush Pillow definitely qualifies on both counts. The fill is a down alternative, meaning it has a similar feel to goose down, but it is made of a 50/50 cotton and polyester blend. While nothing perfectly matches the cloudlike feel of genuine down, this pillow comes pretty close.
The pillows are densely filled, so the support is fairly firm, yet with the soft give that is a hallmark of down. You’ll also appreciate the fill’s resistance to dust mites and other allergens. Even better for allergy sufferers, you can toss this pillow into the washing machine and dryer without any ill effects or loss of loft.
This is the number three best-selling pillow on Amazon, so apparently, lots of people appreciate a great night’s sleep at a bargain price. Out of the 1,500+ reviews, 78% are four or more stars. Many buyers commented about the fluffiness of the pillows and loved the way they hold their shape. Others remarked on the hypoallergenic features of the pillow, saying they aren’t waking up with a stuffy nose since buying the pillow. Surprisingly for a synthetic fill pillow, many owners claim the pillow sleeps cool.
Nothing is perfect, however, not even the Smart Home Bedding Super Plush Pillow. A few customers complained the pillows flattened out sooner than they expected, and some people said they were too hard. The pillows are sold as a two-pack.
Pros: Inexpensive, good support, hypoallergenic
Cons: Flatten out, some feel they are too hard

The Half-Moon Bolster Pillow is recommended for a variety of orthopedic needs. It provides therapeutic support to multiple areas of your body. Usually used by side and back sleepers to reduce lower back pain, the pillow also eases knee, hip, ankle, and joint pains and is ideal for use after surgeries or during pregnancy.
The unique half-cylinder design allows you to position it in various ways to get support where you need it most. It’s especially useful in helping you achieve proper spinal alignment by giving you either knee support for back pain relief, lumbar support while sitting, or leg space while side sleeping. It can also be used as a leg elevator to increase blood flow and reduce varicose veins.
The pillow has a soft, cushy feel that doesn’t easily go flat, thanks to a unique two-layer design of a top memory foam layer outside a supportive foam core. It’s hypoallergenic and easy to care for with its removable and machine washable organic cotton cover.
The Half-Moon Bolster Pillow is featured in Prevention and Bedding Pal and holds a 4.5 out of 5-star review rating on The Art of Pillows. On Amazon, it has an average 4.2 out of 5-star rating based on more than 900 reviews.
Amazon reviewers say that it’s the best pillow they’ve tried. A handful of reviewers do mention it’s larger and firmer than expected so it may not be ideal for every body type. Certain reviewers have gripes over the pillow's smell, but others say it goes away once you air it out.
Pros: Eases multiple body pains, hypo-allergenic, dual-layer foam interior, removable and machine washable cover
Cons: May have an unpleasant odor, comes in only one size that might not accommodate every body type
Buy the Half-Moon Bolster Pillow on Amazon for $26.50 (originally $29.90)The best latex pillow
The Beautyrest Latex Foam Pillow lets you reap the benefits of a latex pillow without burning a hole in your pocket. The pillow provides a good amount of support all over to align your upper spine while still maintaining the feel of a soft, cushiony pillow.
It adapts to your head shape for an optimal level of targeted support and adjusts throughout the night as you move. Because it’s latex, it won’t hold heat like memory foam does, and this pillow has holes to make it breathe more, as well as to maintain softness and make it easier to compress.
It’s made out of natural latex from the tropical rubber tree and offers built-in antimicrobial properties, to help prevent the buildup of unpleasant odors or bacteria. Cleaning is a breeze with the machine washable, soft to the touch 300-thread count 100% cotton removable cover and if you get something on the foam you can simply spot clean it without doing any damage.
The Beautyrest Latex Foam Pillow is featured on various best pillow lists including those on The Sweethome (now Wirecutter) and Bedding Pal. Expert site Sleep Like the Dead found that 81% of users were happy with the pillow. Amazon reviewers seem equally satisfied, as the pillow holds a 4.2 out of 5-star rating.
Many Amazon reviewers like that the pillow has a springy quality to it. Others mention the relief it brings them, especially to the neck, shoulder, and back area, and claim it works better than more expensive pillows they have tried. Many of the critical reviews say that the pillow is simply too firm or too soft for their tastes.
Pros: Good support, aligns your upper spine, easy to clean, antimicrobial properties, maintains its shape well
Cons: No purchase options to choose your ideal firmness or softness level, maintains its shape by quickly springing back to full size and that may be uncomfortable to certain individuals
Buy the Beautyrest Latex Foam Pillow on Amazon for $60The best gel pillow
As the name suggests, the Beckham Hotel Collection Gel Pillow is a hotel-quality pillow that is stylish and comfortable, accommodating a variety of different sleep positions and preferences.
The pillow is filled with a super plush gel fiber that isn’t overtly advertised as cooling gel, but is simply a different type of filling that has some cooling qualities to it.
The pillow is also very clean and promises to prevent dust mites, mold, mildew, and allergens out of your pillow. It's also chemical free, making it a perfect for those who struggle with asthma, allergies, and other respiratory issues.
Although you’ll put a pillowcase on it, the Beckham Hotel Collection Gel Pillow does have a classic white on white lined pattern on its cover that’s both fade and stain resistant. Cleaning is as easy as just throwing the pillow in the wash.
The Beckham Hotel Collection Gel Pillow is featured on Smart Home Keeping as one of the best pillows and on Pillow Picker as a top choice for preventing neck pain. On Amazon, the pillow holds an impressive 4.8 out of 5-star average rating based on more than 1,400 reviews.
Buyers describe the comfort of the pillow in different ways, using words such as luxurious, and dreamy. Beyond comfort, reviewers also like that it stays fluffy and is hypoallergenic. The mere 90 critical reviews mainly state issues that their pillows are too soft, or that they arrived in an unacceptable condition.
Pros: Gel fibers help the pillow stay fluffy and maintain shape, hypoallergenic, machine washable, stain and fade resistant
Cons: No purchase options to choose your ideal firmness or softness level, reports of items delivered damaged
Buy the Beckham Hotel Collection Gel Pillows in a set of two on Amazon starting at $35.99The best body pillow
The Snuggle-Pedic Ultra-Luxury Full Body Pillow is filled with a combination of CertiPUR-US certified foam and low VOC hypoallergenic Biogreen memory foam. The foam is shredded, which provides for better breathability and the much-sought-after "cool pillow" feel.
The non-removable cover is 56.4% polyester, 43% viscose of bamboo, and 0.6% Lycra. The pillow is 54 inches long by 20 inches wide, and it weighs around seven pounds. This product is designed to conform to the contours of your body and comes with a 120-night no-hassle refund guarantee. Snuggle-Pedic also offers a 20-year warranty, so you know it's made to last.
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Snuggle-Pedic body pillow for a couple of months. I was surprised how odor-free it was, and within 10 hours of opening the vacuum seal, the pillow had expanded to its full size.
As a side-sleeper with a history of back pain, I found this pillow did an excellent job of balancing comfort and support while keeping my back aligned and knees from knocking together. The only negatives I found with this option is it weighs more than seven pounds, which is a bit much to move around when you want to switch sides in the night.
Also, the sheer size of the pillow is like having an extra person in the bed. Snuggle-Pedic does offer a mail-in customization service if you want to add or remove fill from your pillow.
Expert reviewers rate this pillow highly. Consumer Searchrecommends the Snuggle-Pedic body pillow to side sleepers who are looking for a good balance of comfort and support. However, the reviewers caution that this model may be too fluffy or big for some. FeelPainRelief appreciated that this pillow is machine washable, stays cool, and helps ease back pain but would have liked if it came with an extra cover.
More than 3,300 buyers left five-star reviews of the Snuggle-Pedic Ultra-Luxury Body Pillow on Amazon. Vinny Falcone posted the most helpful review in which he calls the Snuggle-Pedic the "most amazing body pillow in the world." He appreciated that it was big enough to provide comfort for his hefty 6'4" frame.
A common thread among many of the comments is that this product provides a "one pillow solution." Several people mention previously using up to seven pillows to achieve a comfort level that allowed them to sleep. Many shoppers were also surprised by the sheer size and weight of the pillow. — James Brains
Pros: Excellent airflow, orthopedic support, machine washable, hypoallergenic
Cons: Quite bulky
Buy the Snuggle-Pedic Ultra-Luxury Bamboo Combination Shredded Memory Foam Full Body Pillow on Amazon for $69.99Which pillow is right for you based on fill type and your sleeping position?
- Memory foam: Originally created by NASA to cushion astronauts during reentry to Earth’s atmosphere, today, memory foam is one of the most popular types of pillow. It’s very supportive, conforms to your head and neck, is naturally hypoallergenic, and is especially good for those suffering from neck, shoulder, or upper body pain and stiffness. On the downside, it tends to be hot and is heavy.
- Shredded memory foam: Take memory foam, shred it into small chunks, and you have a supportive, firm, and comfortable pillow filling without the heat and sweat of a traditional memory foam. Shredded memory foam molds and conforms to your body, but if you want it even more customized to your liking, it’s easy to push or pull into just the right loft and shape for your sleeping pleasure.
- Down: Real down has a luxurious, “sleeping on a cloud” fluffiness that some people love, and others hate. Down is very soft and lightweight, so it easily molds to the perfect loft and shape for your needs. It’s not very supportive, however, and tends to be expensive.
- Polyester: Polyester is the typical fill in budget pillows. It’s soft, lightweight, and machine-washable, but not exceptionally supportive or firm. Still, it’s a good middle ground between the softness of down and the firmness of memory foam.
- Buckwheat hulls: Buckwheat hull pillows are not nearly as popular in the United States as they are in Asia, but they definitely have their fan club. A buckwheat hull pillow feels a lot like a beanbag; the hulls move freely inside the pillow, allowing you to adjust the shape, loft, and firmness to your liking. This is one of the best pillow fills for those who “sleep hot,” as well. However, these pillows are heavy, and the hulls can make a rustling sound as you move.
- Latex: There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love latex pillows, and those who hate them. For those who love them, the firm support with a slightly bouncy feel provides superior sleep comfort. For those who hate them, the usual complaint is that the pillow is just too firm. Latex pillows are heavy and usually expensive, but also very durable, naturally antimicrobial, and not too hot.
While just about everyone shifts position periodically during the night, generally, you’ll favor one sleep position over the rest. And when it comes to choosing the right pillow, your favorite sleep position plays a big role.
- Side sleepers: This is the most common sleep position and the most neutral one for your spine and neck. The right pillow for a side sleeper is lofty enough to fill the gap between neck and mattress and provides medium-firm to firm support. Any fill is suitable, as long as it’s the right loft for your body type.
- Stomach sleepers: This undeniably comfy sleep position is hard on your spine, forcing your neck to turn sharply to the side. If this is your favorite way to sleep, make it easier on your back with a pillow that is soft or has little loft. Buckwheat hulls or down pillows are the best choices for those who spend most of the night on their stomach.
- Back sleepers: If you like to sleep on your back, your perfect pillow has just enough loft to hold your head in alignment with your spine without craning your head forward or allowing it to drop back. A medium-firm density is best for this sleep position. Shredded memory foam, buckwheat hulls, or polyester are good fills for back sleepers.
