Just like mattresses, pillows play an important role in the quality of your sleep – and finding the right one can be a challenge.
Today's shoppers have a lot to consider in terms of composition and padding, thickness, durability, temperature control, and pain relief.
When looking for a new pillow, personal factors should also be taken into consideration.
People with neck and shoulder pain may need an orthopedic pillow, while those with heavy snoring often need a high pillow to keep their heads straight.
Sleeping position, weight, and body mechanics can all affect the feel of the pillow.
Our testing team takes a comprehensive approach to evaluate pillows.
The process involves several steps where our testers lie down on the cushion and hold hands to measure the shape retention, adaptability, and adaptability of the cushion.
Additional tests evaluate the pillow for temperature control and odor potential, as well as weight, durability, and ease of cleaning.
Our selection of best pillows was selected based on the results of our testers and in-depth research and analysis.
Among our top picks, you'll find a buyer's guide to help you find tips for finding the right pillow for you.
This guide provides an overview of pillow types and important criteria for buyers.
We'll look at the pillow materials, loft, strength, and overall shape so you can choose the best one for your personal preferences.

Talalay latex is a popular choice for pillow fillings because it cushions and conforms to the head and neck, but is more responsive and supportive than foam.
The Saatva latex pillow has a Talalay latex core that provides a medium soft feel.
That softness is reinforced by an outer pillow covered in micro denier-like fibers and a soft organic cotton pillowcase.
Your head might sink into the pillow a bit, but the thick profile provides enough height for most people in the back and sides.
The outer pillow is removable, which lowers the ceiling and makes the pillow more comfortable for stomach sleepers.
This modified design can also be useful for mixing sleepers that often switch between the two positions while sleeping.
Above-average temperature control is another advantage of the Saatva latex pad.
Latex does not retain heat like foam, and the same goes for micro denier materials when compared to real foam.
Cotton covers also improve the breathability of the pillow.
This cotton is certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard, which guarantees that the fibers are grown sustainably and without pesticides.
The outer pad and pad are machine washable.
You can also add two silk satin pillowcases to your order for a small fee.
Saatva offers free shipping anywhere in the US.
Your order includes a sleep test with which you can test the pillow for 45 nights.
People who choose to keep it also get a one-year warranty.
