Help Me Find the Perfect Pillow

For Whom/What:

a side sleeper

Budget:

willing to spend $$$ for quality

Requirements:

supportive

breathable and cooling

machine washable or has a removable cover

relieves neck pain

Extra Details:

I’m officially on the hunt for the perfect pillow — one that doesn’t just feel good for 5 minutes, but actually holds up all night (and over time). I know pillow preference is highly personal, but I'm willing to give it a go if it's highly recommended or rated. I’d love to hear your pillow recs — the ones you tell everyone to try and secretly bring on vacations.

Coop Home Goods Original Adjustable Pillow.

It’s memory foam shredded fill, so you can add or remove stuffing to customize it (game changer if you’re picky about height). It comes with a washable cover and extra fill in the box. Super breathable and doesn’t go flat on me.

It comes in 3 shapes, so you can choose the shape based on how you sleep.

Purple Harmony Pillow is absolutely worth a look. I snagged one earlier this year and it’s been a total sleep lifesaver. 

It features Purple’s grid tech – that signature hyper-elastic polymer grid layer in the pillow core moves with you and cools naturally. No mid-night flip to the “cool side” — it just stays fresh all night.

I was a side/back combo sleeper and waking up stiff–not anymore. It keeps my neck aligned, doesn’t flatten out, and—bonus—my partner even steals it on occasion!

Yes, it’s pricier than bargain pillows, but it’s been a two-month win for comfort, durability, and night-after-night performance. If you want a step up from basic memory foam or fiber-fill, the Purple Harmony Pillow is legit. I'm now planning on upgrading my mattress!
