Whether you’re a back sleeper , stomach sleeper or side sleeper , a good pillow is essential to getting a good night’s sleep. Even if you’re not waking up with aches and pains, if you’re constantly readjusting your pillow throughout the night, it may be time for a new one. To find the best pillows, we slept on various types, including down, down alternative, memory foam, latex and adjustable pillows.
We narrowed down numerous pillow options on the market, tested 16 of the most popular pillows and found the three pillows stood out from the rest. Best pillow: Pluto Pillow When you visit Pluto’s website, you won’t find any prebuilt pillows to choose from, instead, you’ll be directed to fill out a questionnaire, which takes many factors into account, including age, weight, height, bed firmness, favored sleeping positions (and the position in which you tend to wake up) and whether or not you feel that your head gets overheated while you sleep. You’re also asked to provide details on your current pillow and how it lives up to your expectations, from its softness and compressed height to whether you like a plush or supportive pillow.

Straight out of the box, the pillow was extremely comfortable and the perfect balance of plushne.
