We tested 11 pillows and researched 14 (and counting) to find the most comfortable choices for every sleep position.
The Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow is our top pick because it can be customized to the perfect fill for ultimate support and comfort.

Our sleep habits can have a major impact on our health and wellbeing. Central to getting a great night’s sleep is having a solid setup, including a really comfortable, supportive pillow. 

“A good pillow is absolutely a top priority,” said Rebecca Robbins, sleep researcher, author, and post-doctoral fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, “No matter your budget, I really encourage people to splurge and invest in these products because they will help. The bed is the foundation of our sleep and if these elements aren’t supportive and not cozy to your personal preference, you put yourself at risk for sleep difficulties.”

With that in mind, we tested 11 different pillows and considered many others. I’ve been writing unbiased, meticulously tested product reviews for more than seven years and have a personal stake in finding a good pillow: I’m a living embodiment of the princess and the pea and have purchased more pillows than I can count in pursuit of a good night’s sleep.

While I (a back sleeper) slept on every pillow recommended in this guide for at least three nights, individual preferences and anatomy vary greatly (see: how to find the perfect pillow), so I enlisted a stomach sleeper (my husband) and two side sleepers (my neighbors) to try each pillow for at least a night and considered feedback from other Insider Reviews editors who have tried or reviewed pillows over the last few years. You can read all about other pillows we tested and our methodology here.
