Side sleepers require a pillow with a high and supportive structure to maintain proper alignment between their neck, head, and shoulders. Our recommendation for side sleeping is a dense memory foam pillow that retains its form without trapping heat – our favorite choice among side sleeping mattress options!

Try an affordable latex pillow with adjustable loft and soft feel – it will keep your head cool by wicking away heat! Plus, they provide ventilation while being breathable to wick away any heat build-up!

Memory Foam

If you prefer side sleeping, finding a pillow that provides enough loft and support to ensure proper alignment between your head, neck, and spine can be crucial. While soft options like polyester or down may feel comfortable at first, their malleable nature often causes neck pain; thus we suggest considering firmer options such as memory foam or latex for optimal support – for instance Saatva offers its TEMPUR-Neck Pillow as an example – its slow sinking memory foam maintains its shape well while its fluffier outer layer keeps support to ensure it fits any bed size! Available in standard, queen, and king sizes so you’ll easily find what suits you perfectly for yourself or anyone in needing one for their bed!

Coop Sleep Goods Eden Pillow, though less expensive, still features a balanced feel and cooling cover made from bamboo-derived viscose rayon called Lulltra, plus it comes stuffed with CertiPUR-US certified and GREENGUARD Gold certified memory foam that’s hypoallergenic and CertiPUR-US approved shredded memory foam with unique internal design to promote neck alignment during sleep. Backed by both 100 night home trial period and five year warranty coverage this pillow makes a solid pick.

Last but not least, when purchasing a pillow with adjustable loft you should also take into consideration one that allows you to personalize the amount of loft for optimal sleeping comfort. While not necessary for all people sleeping experiences; those who require custom comfort levels such as those found with Coop Adjustable Loft Pillow, Layla Kapok or Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious could find these features particularly helpful.

Lastly, if you enjoy the springy feel of latex pillows, consider checking out the Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow. Featuring three layers that can be adjusted individually or collectively to achieve any height and firmness desired – making this pillow versatile enough for any sleeping position – we have written more on it and other excellent options available here in our full review. While specialist pillows may be costly options are there are great budget alternatives like the Snuggledown Side Sleeper which features high density hollowfibre filling that mimic traditional pillows while being hypoallergenic certified by GREENGUARD Gold certification with microfiber cotton blend cover covering for added comfort!

Latex

Latex is an adaptable material that molds to the shape of the body for an ideal sleeping experience, making it an excellent option for side sleepers. Available both naturally and synthetically (and often blended with other materials), latex offers similar comfort as memory foam but with increased airflow, making it more breathable than its competitors and hypoallergenic properties making it the ideal option.

The Puffy Pillow combines organic cotton and ethically-sourced Talalay latex for a medium-firm feel, grown without genetically modified seeds and free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, while latex is treated with non-toxic plant-based compounds for maximum breathability and thermoregulation – perfect for side sleepers who tend to run hot during the night.

Our testers loved the lofty feel and support capabilities of this pillow, which ensured their neck was in proper alignment throughout the night. Plus, with its 45-day trial period you can evaluate whether it suits you before making a commitment. It may not be worth its cost for all; in such a situation take a look at some of our more budget friendly side sleeper pillows listed below instead; all offer great support at an economical price.

Body Pillows

Side sleeping often results in discomfort in the hips and knees; body pillows can provide extra cushioning and support to relieve this pain, while also relieving stress placed on necks and spines by supporting heads in their natural positions. Although most commonly used during pregnancy, body pillows provide relief for anyone sleeping on their side.

One key element when searching for a body pillow is its loft, or how high the pillow sits. Side sleepers generally require medium to high loft pillows in order to prevent their heads from sinking too far down and maintain proper spinal alignment, while others may prefer lower loft options that may be easier for managing due to back or joint issues.

Fill material is another crucial consideration when purchasing a body pillow, particularly for side sleepers. Memory foam is often recommended as it provides firm enough support while remaining soft enough to conform to your body shape while still remaining firm enough. Other choices may include down or alternative fills that mimic feathers’ feel but are hypoallergenic and more durable.

Compare Prices To Determine Value It is also worthwhile comparing the prices of different body pillows to ensure you are getting a good value for your money. Though most are priced similarly, some may be less costly and could make for more budget-friendly purchases or simply allow you to try something new!

The Coop Home Goods Original Body Pillow is an organic solution, featuring both its cover fabric and fill. Filled with ethically sourced, natural shredded Talalay latex and pure wool which helps regulate temperature by thermoregulating itself to adapt to body temperatures, it comes in both straight or contoured shapes for easy customization of its height by simply removing or adding fill.

Lagoon Hippo Pillow stands out as a wonderful option for those who like to customize their pillow, with its ability to be cut down to any size desired. Plus, its ventilated memory foam helps regulate temperature for more restful nights of restful slumber – plus, its removable zipper makes cleaning an easy process!

Alternative Shaped Pillows

When selecting the ideal pillow for side sleepers, several factors must be taken into account. First and foremost is making sure the height and firmness match your neck’s support requirements; otherwise you risk forcing your head into an unnatural position that causes long-term neck pain; too tall may strain shoulders causing shoulder discomfort. A pillow should also be breathable enough to ensure maximum comfort – material choice plays a big part.

Feather pillows are a favorite choice among side sleepers because they provide soft support that conforms easily to individual sleeping positions. Plus, feather pillows tend to stay fluffy longer than other options and offer the ideal combination of loft and firmness – though some individuals might find them too flat.

Latex and shredded memory foam materials offer more customization than feathers; you can add or subtract filling as you require. Coop Adjustable Loft, Layla Kapok, Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious and Brooklinen Down all offer this feature; while their shredded filling enables users to shape it to their individual bodies easily – as well as being cooler to touch than most memory foam models.

For side sleepers seeking an optimal pillow solution, the Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow is an excellent option. With three layers you can customize to your own fit – including one made of Renew synthetic down and two made from Aerocoil – the Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow can create a soft yet supportive solution that supports both neck and shoulders without adding excessive strain to either.

This pillow may be slightly more costly than the others we’ve reviewed, but it offers ample neck support and would make an excellent option for side sleepers who prefer traditional shapes over u-shapes. Not only is it hypoallergenic and comes with a 45-day trial period but its design includes an anti-roll gusset to reduce rolling over during sleep – you’ll know whether the investment was worthwhile before making your final decision!
