18 best pillows to buy for a good night's sleep (original) (raw)
How we test pillows
Megan Geall/Good Housekeeping
We recruited a panel of testers to drift off on a range of pillows at home for at least two weeks.
They rated each one on comfort, support, breathability, washability and overall design, and told us whether they'd continue to use it or not.
At the GHI, we conducted a further wash test and checked for any damage to the pillow's filling or performance.Scroll on to discover all you need to know about our top picks.

Joint best pillow and best memory foam pillow
REM-Fit 500 Cool Gel Pillow
Pros
- Suits a range of sleep styles
- Testers found the pillow cosy and luxurious
Cons
- Some found it wasn’t breathable enough
Score: 96/100
Our joint winning pillow only dropped four marks overall (its lofty cooling claims disappointed slightly). In every other regard, it surpassed itself. Every tester gave it 10/10 and said they would both buy it and recommend it to friends and family.
It moulded quickly and effectively to our heads, offering optimal support to help ease neck pain. It didn't smell in any way chemical and the soft outer cover washed brilliantly, without noticeably shrinking.
It's breathable, albeit no more than most other pillows we tested, and while there's no trial period, its five-year guarantee feels generous.

Joint best pillow and best cooling pillow
Luff Mayfair Gel Pillow
Pros
- Bounced back into shape well in the morning
- Cover washed well
Score: 96/100
In the words of one of our panellists, there was absolutely “nothing to dislike” about this pillow. They loved its level of support (firm but still soft enough to snuggle into it) and general softness. Our in-house experts agreed, too, awarding it strong scores for its high-quality design and bamboo cover that washed well.
This pillow is double-sided; one side is made with soft bamboo, and the other has a cooling gel pad. This worked wonders for some, although others found it almost too cold. However, we tested over winter and if you’re a hot sleeper, this is undoubtedly a positive. Anyway, there’s always the bamboo side within easy reach if you do need warming up.

Joint best down pillow
Scooms Hungarian Goose Down Pillow
Pros
- Testers found it breathable
- No changes in shape observed during testing
Cons
- Scooms doesn’t offer a trial period
Score: 95/100
For luxurious comfort that’s hypoallergenic to boot, treat yourself to this fluffy down pillow with a firm feather core.
Testers found it a dream to drift off on, no matter their sleeping style, as it offers both softness and support. It delivered a great night's sleep overall, staying satisfyingly cool and quiet throughout.
No feathers poked through to scratch us and it successfully prevented sniffles. It also stayed plump for the duration of the testing period and emerged from the washing machine looking as good as new. It’s pricey and there’s no trial offer, but it’s bliss to sink into.

Joint best down pillow
Snuggledown Sumptuous Hungarian Goose Down Soft Support Front Sleeper Pillow
Pros
- Easy to fit in a pillowcase
- Breathable and lightweight
Cons
- Took a while to dry after washing
Score: 95/100
Just like the pillow above, this is also made from soft Hungarian goose down and it helped our panellists enjoy a great night’s sleep. They praised its soft, sink-in feel that was still supportive. One tester even stated: “This is the nicest pillow I’ve had.”
It was a hit with our experts too, scoring highly even after going through the washing machine. The pillow kept its shape, bouncing back to its pre-wash height, and the quality of stitching remained the same. Note, when drying, we needed to run a second tumble dryer cycle to loosen up the filling. But overall, it’s an airy dream.

Best latex pillow
Fine Bedding Company Natural Latex Foam Pillow
Pros
- All testers found it temperature-regulating
- Firm yet comfortable and supportive
Cons
- No trial offer available
Score: 94/100
This is the only latex pillow on our list, but there’s no need to be dubious about its unusual filling. It mimics memory foam, but it’s designed to be more breathable. And it earned high praise on test; every single panellist would recommend this pillow to a friend, thanks to their excellent slumber and the way it helped regulate their body temperatures.
There’s no plasticky smell, and testers found the bouncy design balanced softness and support dreamily, making it helpful for both back and side sleepers alike. One even compared it to “sleeping on a supportive cloud”.
You can’t adjust the padding inside the pillow; however, its thick, quilted cover can be removed if you want to make it slimmer.

The White Company Luxury Hungarian Goose Down Pillow
Pros
- Clear care instructions
- Packaging can be reused for storage or travel
Cons
- Some testers found it wasn’t plump enough
Score: 94/100
Another goose down pillow, another hit with our testers who gushed about its luxuriously bouncy and fluffy design. In fact, every single tester agreed that it helped them sleep soundly.
As you’d expect from The White Company, its premium design stood-out; its down is cruelty-free and no feathers poked through the cover. Plus, it’s available in two different sizes (standard or super king) as well as in three firmness levels (soft, medium or firm) to suit all kinds of sleepers. There’s even a handy bag for easy travel and storage.
While the pillow remained in good shape after washing, we did notice a slight loss of support so that’s something to keep in mind. Overall, though, it ticked the boxes for super soft comfort.

Best adjustable pillow
Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow
Pros
- Outer case washed well
- Testers found it supportive, especially side sleepers
Cons
- Expensive
- Some struggled to fit it into a standard pillowcase
Score: 93/100
Panellists liked how this firm option from Simba didn’t squish too much or change shape throughout the night – one even found their sleep tracker reported that they were dosing more deeply after they made the switch.
It’s filled with two layers of foam and another of tiny springs, and handily, you can remove and reorder them to suit your sleep style and preferences. This feature went down well with testers, even though some found it took a few nights to find the right combination for maximum support.
The price point is high, but Simba is a registered B Corp, meaning the pillow ticks our boxes for comfortable support and sustainability.

Kuddly Dream Pillow
Pros
- Breathable fabric kept testers cool
- Comes with a separate pillowcase for storing any removed foam
Cons
- Some struggled to fit the outer cover back on after washing
Score: 93/100
Living up to its name, our panel liked this pillow’s soft outer fabric and the fact you can increase or reduce the amount of foam inside to make it work for your sleep style.
Its outer cover scored full marks in our lab wash tests, and there’s a 30-day money back guarantee if you can’t adjust it to a level that suits you. Just note that it’s big when fully fitted, so you may need to invest in a larger pillowcase.

Best bamboo pillow
Ethical Bedding Bamboo Pillow
Pros
- Easy to fit into a pillowcase
- Outer cover was soft and good quality
Score: 93/100
Packed with puffy fibre that’s a blend of bamboo and recycled plastic and covered in 100% eucalyptus silk, this pillow ticks our boxes for being hypoallergenic, temperature regulating, and amazingly soft. Other eco credentials include eco-friendly packaging, and carbon neutral delivery.
Testers slept soundly and liked the pillow’s overall quality. It’s deep, but their heads sunk in pleasingly – even winning over those who prefer a slimmer pillow. It aced our wash tests too, although some testers would have liked more detailed care instructions. A small niggle, for an otherwise stellar buy.

Soak and Sleep Soft As Down Pillows
Pros
- Arrived looking plump and plush
- Quiet to sleep on
Cons
- Filling appeared slightly deflated after washing
Score: 92/100
Sometimes it's the finer touches that transform a pillow from good to great, and that’s certainly the case with this luxuriously soft microfibre buy. Testers said it arrived in high-quality packaging, had no lingering ‘new’ smell and appeared plump and plush.
There was barely anything to fault when it came to night time either – testers found it comfortable in all sleeping positions. So, what’s the downside? Some said that it needed squishing a little for extra height and comfort and the care details weren’t as good as some other products, but really, there wasn’t much to dislike at all.

Soak & Sleep Hungarian Goose Down Pillow
Pros
- Suited a range of sleep styles
- No feathers or down poked through the pillow
Cons
- Even the firm option was on the soft side
- No trial offering
Score : 90/100
This pillow comes in a choice of three levels of firmness, of which we tried the firmest. Its down outer layer gives it a cloud-like quality but its feathery inner stops your head from sinking in too deeply.
It regulated temperature brilliantly, keeping testers cosy but never sweaty, and it helped to improve the length and quality of their sleep.
It didn’t once lose its shape or fullness during use, but it looked slightly deflated after washing. It rustled a bit when we changed positions, too, but we welcome the generous five-year guarantee.

Emma Original Pillow
Pros
- Care instructions are helpfully located on the inside of the cover
- Any dips returned to normal in the morning
Cons
- Testers struggled to get all the foam inserts back into the cover after adjusting the pillow
- Quite firm so may not suit people who prefer a soft feel
Score: 89/100
With three layers of memory foam, you can easily adjust this pillow by removing a layer so it’s the perfect height for your head. You can machine wash the cover, too – note, it can’t be tumble dried – and on test it washed well with no shrinking.
Most of our panel found it a comfortable bedtime addition, noting that it maintained its buoyancy throughout the trial period. It’s quiet and breathable as well, with most of our panel reporting an excellent night’s sleep.

REM-Fit Snow Pillow
Pros
- Quilted cover adds a luxurious feel
- Maintained its shape and quality after washing
Cons
- Too thin for some
- Cooling design may not work year-round for everyone
Score: 89/100
This pillow is made with a soft quilted cover that’s designed to keep you fresh and comfortable throughout hot nights. Our testers found this super effective, although for some popping another pillowcase on top limited the cooling effect. But the cover washed impeccably in the lab, so you could easily go without an extra layer.
As for the firm memory foam filling, our panel found it pleasingly supportive. It wasn’t plump enough for everyone, but if you’re a hot sleeper it’s a great buy.

Best pillow for neck support
The Original Groove Pillow
Pros
- Quiet to sleep on
- Care instructions are easy to understand and follow
Cons
- Need to sleep in the middle of the pillow for the support to work and you can’t flip it
Score: 87/100
Uniquely shaped, this pillow is carefully designed to offer maximum support to your head and neck. Due to its mouldable foam, only the case can be washed, but we found it fared well on test, emerging from our washing machine in pristine condition.
In terms of comfort, our panel was pleasantly surprised with how the pillow relieved pressure around the neck. Its look wasn’t for everyone, but it's one to consider if you often wake up with neck pain – the brand even offers a 100-day trial, so you can return it if it doesn’t ease your aches.

Best budget pillow
Slumberdown Climate Control Firm Pillow
Pros
- Suited different sleep styles on test
- Bouncy filling reverted back to its original shape well in the morning
Cons
- Filling slightly less plump after washing
Score: 87/100
Despite being the cheapest option on this list, Slumberdown’s Climate Control pillow doesn’t skimp on plumpness. Most testers found the design provided enough support to the neck and head, always reverting to their original shape in the morning.
The thick pillows land on the softer side of firm, so if you like yours verging on stiff, it may be worth trying the super support level. However, it’s hypoallergenic, and filled with breathable microfibre that’s designed to keep you cool in the heat.

Best wool pillow
Woolroom Deluxe Washable Wool Pillow
Pros
- Washable design is unusual for wool
- Luxurious and wool is traceable
Cons
- Took longer than average to dry
- Noisy for some
Score: 87/100
Naturally temperature regulating, wool is a great pick if you’re after a pillow that keeps your head cool. Don’t worry about that typical wool smell either – on test, it vanished quickly, while the pillow is also Allergy UK approved. You can even trace the wool back to the farm it originates from, thanks to its tracing scheme.
Our panel found the high-quality pillow comfortable to sleep on, with all saying the filling remained light and fluffy. You can add or remove wool too, to tailor it to your sleep style, and it emerged from our wash test in excellent condition.

Best pillow for memory foam innovation
Simba Hybrid Memory Foam Pillow
Pros
- Adjustable design makes it suitable for all kinds of sleepers
- Stayed fluffy and plump, with no dips
Score: 86/100
It’s hard to beat memory foam in the support stakes, as no other filling moulds to your head and neck as well. And this cleverly designed pillow is also adjustable, offering more control over the thickness than most – you simply remove the memory foam ‘nanocubes’ until you’re happy with its depth. Though not very breathable, we found it a joy to nestle into, and it impressed us by staying plump, with no dips in sight.
Its synthetic materials are hypoallergenic, but they gave off a funny smell at first. Thankfully, this soon dissipated. Only the cover is machine washable and there’s no trial offer or guarantee.

Aeyla The FOAMO Pillow
Pros
- Care instructions were clear and simple
- High quality, premium feel
Cons
- No bag to hold any removed filling
- Sometimes the filling compressed when testers moved
Score: 84/100
If it’s luxury you’re after, then this premium pillow should please. Its outer casing is pure cotton, making it breathable and machine washable, while its memory foam centre is soft and supportive.
Another adjustable design, it’s a notably thick pillow that offers welcome flexibility. Testers had to play around a bit to find the right height and said it needed regular plumping when they removed too much. However, if you don’t like a thin pillow, this high-quality design should be just right.

Pillow types explained
With so many pillows on the market, it can be hard to decipher which designs will work for you. Here’s our expert guide to the different styles you can buy.
Microfibre: These lightweight man-made styles, also known as synthetic or polyester pillows, tend to be the cheapest type. They come in a range of heights and firmness levels, making them suitable for all sleeping styles, and are usually hypoallergenic. However, they’re not very breathable and can retain moisture and heat, meaning you could wake up in a hot sweat. They’re also known to flatten quickly and have the shortest life span, with some lasting less than a year.
Feather and down: This premium pillow type is unrivalled in the comfort stakes. To be classed as down, a pillow needs to be compiled of at least 70% down feathers, with the rest being made up of regular feathers. Down feathers are softer, retain heat better, and are not as sharp if they poke out of the pillow. They're expensive as they’re naturally soft, mouldable, airy and long-lasting. They’re not the best choice for those who require height (side sleepers) and they’ll flatten over time, needing occasional fluffing to regain shape. They’re not typically suitable for those with allergies, but anti-allergy options do exist.
Memory foam: Memory foam is like Marmite, so expect to love or hate it. It offers strong support by moulding to the shape of your neck and shoulders, making it a smart choice for anyone struggling with neck pain. These pillows are durable, long-lasting and easy to care for, but the height is rarely adjustable, meaning they’re best suited to either back or side sleepers. They can feel quite rigid, so are better for still sleepers than active ones. This limited airflow means they can get very hot, particularly in the summer.
Wool: Eco-friendly and naturally hypoallergenic, wool pillows are a good choice for those who suffer from allergies as they keep dust mites at bay. They help regulate your temperature, keeping you cosy in winter and cool in summer while absorbing any moisture in the process. Front sleepers benefit the most from this type of pillow, as they are normally firm and supportive without giving much height. They are heavy, though, and they flatten quickly. They can also smell a little sheepy!
Latex: They're firm, durable and supportive, making them helpful for neck ache, and they're naturally hypoallergenic too. Though much more breathable than memory foam, they are pricey, often heavy and can have a distinct smell when new.
Other things to consider before buying
There are a few other factors to consider before investing in a pillow, ranging from allergies to cooling properties. It’s worth investing in one that meets as many of your requirements as possible.
Adjustability : Some pillows feature fillings or layers that can be removed or added to adjust the thickness. Examples on our roundup include the Kally Sleep Adjustable Pillow and the Simba Hybrid Pillow.
Hypoallergenic or anti-allergy: Most synthetic pillows are hypoallergenic, which means they’re unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, either from feathers or dust mites. If a pillow is described as anti-allergy, this usually means it has been treated with chemicals to help keep your sniffles at bay.
Cooling: Some pillows are designed to regulate your temperature using a cooling gel or an innovative breathable liner.
Anti-snore: These pillows are designed to better support your head and neck to help open your airways and improve breathing. As a result, they can reduce or sometimes even stop snoring.
How to wash your pillows
You should aim to wash or clean your pillows at least every six months (and your pillowcases every two months), according to our household advice editor. How you wash them depends on the type of filling – head to our handy guide to get all the tips and tricks.
Complete your bedding set
Making sure you have the right pillow will certainly go a long way to helping you sleep at night, but if your back is aching or you just can’t get comfortable, it may be worth looking at your mattress too.
If you don’t want to buy a replacement, a topper would also help you get the right comfort and support.
The verdict: What is the best-rated pillow?
It was a tight at the top in our testing, with both REM-Fit's 500 Cool Gel Pillow and Luff’s Mayfair Gel Pillow barely dropping a mark. They're excellent choices for support and both received rave reviews from our panellists. The former suits a range of sleep styles, while the latter also has a cooling gel pad on one side, which may prove helpful if a heatwave strikes.
If you’re after a down pillow, we’d recommend either Scooms’ Hungarian Goose Down Pillow or Snuggledown’s Sumptuous Hungarian Goose Down Pillow as they both delivered a soft, dreamy night’s sleep for our testers.
And if you don’t want to spend too much on a new pillow, then Slumberdown’s Climate Control Pillow is a savvy buy for less than £20.
