The Best Pillows For Each Sleep Position (Affordable AND Luxurious Options!)

I recently went down a rabbit hole online looking up cleaning facts. I somehow stumbled across facts about sleeping and bedroom cleanliness (did you know we sweat out an average of 26 gallons per year while sleeping??).
During my research, I discovered that our pillows collect so much sweat and dead skin that it’s best practice to switch out your pillows every 1-2 years. If you’re like me and you had no idea you needed to be purchasing pillows so frequently - don’t panic. I’ve made a list of the best pillow options for each sleep type (with affordable and splurge options):
The Side Sleeper
Affordable
The Buffy Cloud Pillow is stuffed with recycled material that is both cooling moisture absorbent. It’s covered in a case made of eucalyptus fibers and provides great neck support for side sleepers with three firmness options (soft, medium, and medium firm).
Splurge
The Layla Adjustable Fill Kapok Pillow allows you to create your perfect firmness and height by providing removable filling. The cooling material and soft outside has been described as a “push, airy cloud".”
The Back Sleeper
Affordable
Amazon Basics does it again with these Down-Alternative Pillows. These pillows are made with down-alternative and can be washed on a warm cycle at home making them a great option for allergy sufferers (plus, the price can’t be beat!!).
Splurge
The Coop Home Goods Original Loft Pillow has become a fan favorite among side sleepers. The adjustable pillow is filled with memory foam pieces that are both cooling and sooo soft. This pillow is machine washable which extends the life of the pillow and your investment.
The Stomach Sleeper
Affordable
The Bluewave Bedding Ultra Slim CarbonBlue Max Cool Gel Memory Foam Pillow is the ultimate thin pillow for stomach sleepers. The cooling gel helps keep your temperature regulated and soundly sleeping through the night. You can choose between super slim, ultra slim, and hyper slim based on your needs.
Splurge
The Marlow Bed Pillows are made with cooling infused memory foam. The adjustable feature makes it perfect for any kind of stomach sleeper. It’s eco friendly, vegan and allergy friendly, and comes with a one-year return policy to ensure you’re satisfied.
The Combination Sleeper
Affordable
The Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows are made with down alternative and gel cooling material. The pillows have a 250 thread count cover and a price that truly can’t be beat - especially considering they come in a pack of two.
Splurge
When I say splurge, I mean splurge - but this Saatva Pillow is on every list of best pillows available (and the customer reviews to back it up). The Saatva has a shredded natural latex core, a removable inner pillow filled with down-like fiber, is breathable and machine washable. If you’re nervous about the investment, the 45-day return policy should give you some peace of mind.
We spend about one-third of our life sleeping, so saying your pillow is important is an understatement. Whether it’s an affordable option or a luxury spend, your pillow should be something to look forward to, not a hassle.
