The 10 Best Pillows to Try For a Better Night's Rest — According to Our Editors

Pillow Cube Side Cube ($65, originally $80)

The famous Pillow Cube Side Cube was "designed by side sleepers, for side sleepers," notes the brand. Its design was created to align perfectly with your spine to prevent back, neck, and shoulder pain, and it comes in different sizes depending on your height, so it's as comfortable as possible. Find out more details via our comprehensive review of the Pillow Cube.

Editor Quote: "The more I slept on it, the more I noticed how the quality of my sleep improved. It was so much easier to wake up in the morning without feeling too tired and in a fog, making it easier to have a productive day. I never realized how much the wrong type of pillow could physically affect my body and the quality of life I was living. [It's] an essential part of my nighttime routine, and it's worth every penny if you're a side sleeper." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, Commerce

Purple TwinCloud Pillow ($79, originally $99)

The TwinCloud Pillow from Purple boasts an undeniably innovative design that's essentially two pillows in one. It has a soft side and a firm side, both of which utilize down-like fibers, which you can flip to your liking. Cool, right? Read our review of the Purple TwinCloud Pillow to learn more about its unique technology.

Editor Quote: "I couldn't be more happy with the Purple TwinCloud Pillow. Hands down, the zip and flip features make it easy for almost anyone to be comfortable while using this pillow." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Marlow Pillow ($104, originally $130)

What separates the Marlow Pillow from the pack is that you can adjust its firmness using its zipper technology. When both sides are zipped, the pillow's at max firmness, and when both are unzipped it's at max plushness. For more, check out our review of the Marlow Pillow.

Editor Quote: "Overall, what really sets it apart for me is the easy-to-use design. While there are a number of adjustable pillows on the market, most of them you have to manually remove or add stuffing, but this one works with just one zip." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Avocado Down Pillow ($125, originally $139)

Stick to the classics and opt for something with a cloud-like plushness — just like this squishy down pillow from Avocado. Besides its breathable design and ethically sourced composition, we love that that comfortable pillow also boasts a triple-chamber construction, which is designed to ensure the pillow's fill is evenly distributed, that way it'll hold its shape over time. One editor credits this pillow with helping to alleviate her neck pain; read our review of the Avocado Down Pillow to learn more.

Editor Quote: "If you're looking for a sleeping pillow that will contour to your body and provide ample support throughout the night, this Avocado product is a worthwhile buy. With its fluffy shape and plush build, the down pillow is perfect for all types of sleepers — whether you're a chaotic sleeper who moves around in the night (and takes movements out on your pillow) or a hot sleeper in need of a more breathable alternative to a traditional memory foam or polyester pillow." — Kyley Warren, assistant editor, Commerce

Pluto Pillow ($125)

The Pluto Pillow is custom-made to fit your unique sleeping preferences, such as your ideal stuffing, firmness, size, position you tend to sleep in, and more. How it works is you take a quiz, and the company uses your responses to craft your dream pillow. To find out if it's worth the hype, a contributor put it to the test and (spoiler alert) loved it. For more, read her complete review of the Pluto Pillow.

Editor Quote: "Because of the support provided by the pillow, I'm able to get into a comfortable position so I fall asleep more easily and wake up less often due to pain. My upper back and shoulders feel less achy when I wake up, so my mornings naturally get off to a better start." — Caitlin Flynn, contributor

Casper Memory Foam Pillow ($80, originally $89)

If you run warm, this memory foam pillow from Casper is a smart investment. It features small channels in the foam that cir nmaculate air, and a breathable jersey knit cover to keep you cool. It's crafted using three layers of foam to ensure your head is supported yet comfy while you sleep. Learn more by reading our review of the Casper Memory Foam Pillow.

Editor Quote: "The main reason I love it is because it truly does keep me so much cooler. For the first time in what seems like forever, I didn't wake up with my hair and face feeling sweaty or greasy." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Go Neck Pillow ($69)

This unique neck pillow features a 360-degree ergonomic design for full neck support, ensuring you maintain proper spinal posture to prevent neck and back pain during your travels. Our favorite thing about it is that it compresses to 60 percent of its size when you store it in the included travel bag, which makes packing it in your luggage a breeze. Read more via our review of the Go Neck Pillow.

Editor Quote: "This neck pillow is so easy to pack and not bulky, making it the perfect travel accessory. The product includes a protective bag to store my neck pillow when I am not using it, which is ideal and helps keep it clean. The softness of the neck pillow's outer sleeve is so cozy, and the memory foam makes me feel like I'm laying my head on one of the pillows that I sleep with daily." — Indira Diaz, former social strategy coordinator

Yana Pillow ($199)

The plush Yana Pillow looks like a pregnancy pillow, and while it certainly can work as one, it's not solely for moms-to-be. Instead, it was designed for 360° comfort and support. When it's not in use, you can tie it into a decorative knot, so it doesn't take up too much room on your bed. Learn more by reading our review of the Yana 360° Body Pillow.

Editor Quote: "I used to find myself tossing and turning during the night, searching for the perfect position to fall asleep in, and most of them ended up hurting my back. Resting in the pillow's unique silhouette gives my body a cozy sensation that doesn't tempt me to move around as much. As a result, it helps prevent me from getting stuck in uncomfortable positions." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Pluto Puff Body Pillow ($130)

Prefer a more traditional body pillow design? Check out the Pluto Puff Body Pillow. It's made with hypoallergenic, synthetic fiber, and countless shoppers attest that it's one of — if not the most — comfortable pillows they've ever owned. For more, read our review of the Pluto Puff Body Pillow.

Editor Quote: "The second I opened it, my roommate's dog jumped on it and took a nap. We now fight over the pillow, because she's a fan too. I like it so much, I laid across the top of my queen size bed, replacing all my other pillows. Sometimes I cuddle with it as a body pillow, but most nights I use it for my head." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Honeydew Scrumptious Side Pillow ($150)

This squishy pillow has nearly a perfect five-star rating on Amazon and a former staff writer's seal of approval. The curved shape supports your neck and shoulders regardless of whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. Learn more by checking out our review of the Honeydew Scrumptious Side Pillow.

Editor Quote: "The cutout shape allows it to rest snugly around your bottom shoulder if you sleep on your side, but it also feels cozy around your neck if you sleep on your back." — Jenny Sugar, former staff writer
