The wrong pillow is one of the most common causes of morning neck pain, and most people never connect the two. They blame the mattress, their sleep position, or their age. The pillow is cheaper to replace than any of those, and it is the first thing worth changing.
Loft is what decides it. A side sleeper has to fill the gap between shoulder and mattress, which usually means a higher pillow than people expect. A back sleeper needs considerably less, and a stomach sleeper needs almost none. Buying a pillow without knowing which of those you are is why so many end up in a cupboard.
This category covers memory foam, latex, down and down alternative, adjustable fill, cooling designs, and the specialty shapes for knees, reading, and pregnancy. Each guide starts from sleep position and works out to material, because getting the height right matters more than what the pillow is filled with.
Pillows also wear out faster than people assume, and a flattened one stops supporting long before it looks worn. Where a thirty-dollar option performs as well as a hundred-dollar one, we say so.
