Finding the right pillow can completely change the quality of your sleep. But with so many products available for a wide range of sleep preferences, it’s hard to know where to begin! So we took an in-depth look at the pillows most commonly recommended by sleep experts.
Not every pillow works for every type of sleeper – which is why we had our entire team try them. In order to take different sleep positions into account and capture a range of opinions, each person slept on each pillow for a few nights.
We put nine best selling pillows to the test – and our team loved these two:
Best Overall Pillow
How it feels:
– Squishy
– Firmer than a down pillow, but softer than a solid memory foam pillow
Why it’s great:
– Adjustable to suit different types of sleepers
– Filling is cut into blocks, not shredded
– Silk pillowcase option to keep cool at night
Whom it’s for:
– Side-sleepers
– People who want a supportive pillow
So how does a Saybrook pillow really feel, and what sets it apart from every other pillow? It is squishy but firmer than a down pillow, and softer than memory foam. It’s also not just a pillow meant for side sleepers – because it is adjustable to the person, it doesn’t matter what your sleep position preference is! You’re going to want to try one out for yourself.
“Sleeping with a Saybrook pillow felt really good throughout the night. When I woke up, I didn’t feel the normal stiffness that I usually have in my neck!”
Paul (sleeps on side and back)
“It’s so cool that this pillow can be tailored to a personalized level of support. The first night I took out about 15% of the filling, and it was comfortable, but a bit too full. The next night I took out another 10%, but then it felt too thin/loose, so I added 5% back in, and it was perfect! It’s also helpful that the pillow arrives in an attractive, cylinder-shaped bag that you can use to store the filling you remove. Otherwise I probably would have tossed the filling and not been able to readjust!”
Shannon (sleeps on back and stomach
“My head falls into place at the perfect height for side sleeping, and at the perfect height for reading on my back before bed! My husband also tried it. He was sound asleep when I got in bed, slept motionless throughout the night, and woke up early to make the kids’ lunch. I’d say that’s a win and he can keep it! My son immediately stole the pillow for his bed – so now I need another!”
Tory (sleeps on side and stomach)
There are a lot of down pillows out there, but Chamberlain Down takes the number one spot for the best down pillow. It is pure luxury in the form of a pillow. This high-end hotel-style pillow is super fluffy and supportive but won’t leave your bedroom covered in feathers! You can take our word for it!
Best Down Pillow
How it feels:
– Fluffy
– Luxurious
Why it’s great:
– Dense down material
– Ethically sourced
– Feather-proof casing prevents stuffing from getting everywhere
Drawbacks but not dealbreakers:
– Requires fluffing every day to maintain the loft
Whom it’s for:
– Back-sleepers
– People who want pillows with a traditional, luxury hotel feel
“The Chamberlain Down pillow makes it feel like you are sleeping on a cloud. It was soft, cushiony, and put me right to sleep.”
Stephanie (sleeps on side and back)
“Sleeping on this pillow made me feel like I was staying in a luxury hotel. When I learned that it was ethically sourced, it made me love it even more.”
Tara (sleeps on side, back and stomach)
“I felt like I was on vacation when sleeping on this pillow. It was so supportive but still really fluffy. Once my head hit this pillow it felt like I was about to fall right asleep, and I woke up feeling extremely well-rested and ready to start the day!”
Vanessa (sleeps on back and side)
“This pillow is extremely comfy. I fell asleep on my back, with my head wrapped in a cocoon of coziness.”
Austin (usually a back sleeper)
