Best Pillow For Side Sleepers

An appropriate pillow can make or break your sleep, and side sleeping pillows are often key in maintaining proper neck alignment. They tend to be firmer and loftier than other styles.

Forbes recommends select options like the Coop Adjustable Loft, Layla Kapok and Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious that feature shredded synthetic fill for customizable comfort. These pillows allow users to add or reduce loft for customized sleeping solutions.

1. Simba’s Hybrid Firm Pillow

As its name implies, this pillow combines the luxurious softness of feathers with the supportiveness and gentle firmness of memory foam to offer one of the best pillows for side sleepers – helping prevent neck and shoulder pain caused by misalignment by filling any gaps between your head and shoulders and supporting your back.

Within each pillow lies a layer of mineral-enriched Aerelle fiber to dissipate excess body heat, followed by a loose collection of small blue foam cubes called Nanocubes by Simba that you can unzip the cover to easily access and remove or add according to your personal taste. This innovative way of customising loft height (the height of the pillow), for both side sleepers and back sleepers alike, enables them to find their optimal sleeping position.

Nanocubes are made of Visco foam – commonly known as memory foam. However, unlike its traditional counterpart, which often contains toxic chemicals like TCPP and PBDE that are known to be hazardous to our health – Visco foam pillows produced without these harmful toxins makes for a more eco-friendly option. Furthermore, this pillow comes encased in a soft hypoallergenic microfibre layer for easy washing.

Simba’s final layer combines Renew Bio fibres that feel similar to down feathers but won’t flatten over time, with Aerocoil springs which offer superior comfort and spinal alignment. This unique combination works incredibly well, feels incredible cozy, has an impressive two-year warranty and comes at an extremely competitive price point compared to what regular high street pillows cost tenner.

3. Sleep Number Ultimate Contour Pillow

This pillow was specifically designed for side sleepers, yet is also beneficial to back and stomach sleepers who need an extra bit of neck support.

Like our top choice, this pillow features a soft yet cooling brushed cotton cover as well as memory foam support. However, unlike its counterpart, this one comes with a solid foam insert for greater durability compared to our previous pick’s shredded version and loftier construction that helps ensure ears align correctly with shoulders rather than being tilted off to one side during side sleeping.

Adjustable features make setting it up easy. Once the pillow settles, you can customize its height with zippers to achieve the perfect height. Furthermore, three different foam layers provide customizable thickness options to meet your desired feel.

Our top pick may not be quite as malleable, but this pillow still makes for a solid option if you appreciate the feel of down. Available in four styles (Classic, contoured (with sloped bottom for neck support), curved and ultimate) it features removable down layers designed for all sleeping positions and their PillowFit quiz can help narrow down the options to meet your individual needs and preferences.

4. Coop Home Goods Original Body Pillow

Made of flexible shredded memory foam that allows heat to move between its tiny gaps for soft comfort, as well as being hypoallergenic, breathable, resistant to dust mites, machine-washable with zipper closure cover that protects it and filled with the company’s proprietary Lulltra fabric made up of polyester fibers from sustainable bamboo-derived viscose rayon fibers patented Lulltra fabric designed by them for extra softness against pressure points on this pillow for optimal support of head/neck alignment.

Each Coop Home Goods Original Pillow includes an extra half-pound of pillow fill, which you can adjust by adding or removing fill as necessary to achieve your ideal sleeping experience. Adjustability is especially appealing to side sleepers; most side sleepers we surveyed gave it high marks; those weighing less than 130 pounds may wish to experiment with removing some pillow fill until finding one with loftier and firmer loft that meets their individual preferences; back and stomach sleepers will likely find comfort as well–though back sleepers might require adding fill for higher loftedness.

Body pillows may help alleviate hip and knee pain by encouraging spinal alignment and providing necessary support to the spine while sleeping. This ensures your spine stays in a neutral position and thus promotes better quality rest with reduced risk for back and neck issues.

Coop Home Goods’ body pillow earned top marks during our Laboratory tests and earned near-perfect ratings from our testers, who love its plush feel and supportive qualities. Plus, with its 100-night sleep trial period, free shipping within the contiguous U.S., and five year warranty coverage it comes equipped with everything needed for quality restful slumber.

5. Saatva Pillow

Saatva mattresses also make excellent pillows; this one from them is no different – made without animal products and hypoallergenic, with a plush premium feel, responsive bounce caused by its springy clusters of latex inside, thick construction, premium plush feel and thickness that’s medium to thicker in thickness.

Though relatively new, the Saatva Pillow has received overwhelming positive reviews since its introduction. Users praise its balance between soft and supportive features; many describe it as feeling as though you were sinking into a cloud that embraces their head. Some customers noted it wasn’t quite firm enough; overall though they found this pillow an ideal option for side sleepers of all sizes; back and stomach sleepers may not find this product suitable due to only having one loft available.

The outer pillow cover is made of organic cotton woven into a sateen weave for maximum softness and breathability, featuring stylish brown piping around its edges. Unzipping one side allows access to its hypoallergenic fill material called microdenier fiber (human hair has 20 deniers).

This layer helps promote airflow, keeping your head cool while being resistant to dust mites and mildew. Paired with its antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, this pillow makes an excellent choice for people who sweat excessively. Other advantages of the pillow include its anti-odor properties as well as antimicrobial and antifungal protection features – although only its pillowcase can be machine washed, which may be problematic for some users.
