These pillows will finally help you get a restful night’s sleep

By Julie Scagell

If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, perhaps you are in the market for a new pillow. Experts say you should change out your bed pillows every one to two years, but this can be an expensive exercise. If you want to invest in a pillow that’s highly rated and made with premium materials, it may give your pillow a little longer runway. Because they are so important to a comfortable night’s sleep, finding the right pillow for you can make all the difference in waking up refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Here are five we love.

We love these Fern and Willow pillows because they are affordable yet manufactured for a glorious night’s sleep. These down-alternative pillows are perfect for side or back sleepers and have medium fill so they keep your head supported without strain on your neck. What’s more, they are machine washable, so you can keep them clean all year around.

This down-alternative pillow is made with gel, so it’s ideal if you run on the hot side while you sleep. It comes with a 250-thread count cover, so it will stay soft and comfortable while you slumber. It comes in a set of and offers two sizes – King and Queen – depending on how large you like your pillow. It’s made in an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 factory, which means it adheres to strict environmental and safety standards.

Another solid option is this Queen-sized pillow, made from breathable micro-vented polyester and viscose rayon. The rayon is derived from bamboo, ensuring your pillow stays soft, full, and cool all night long. No more switching sides of the pillow in the middle of the night! This pillow is fuller than most but if you don’t like it, simply remove part of the memory foam to adjust to your sleeping preferences.

We love the way this pillow forms exactly to your head, neck, and spine. It’s ultra-comfortable but maintains the support you need not to wake up tossing and turning. The Kool-Flow bamboo cover will keep you cool and any moisture from pooling. This pillow stands the test of time and will help you wake up more restful than you’ve felt in a long time.

Sometimes, you don’t need to invest in a new pillow at all. If your pillow is feeling flat, which is causing an uncomfortable night’s sleep, invest in memory foam fill. Made to insert into the Snuggle-Pedic Memory Foam pillow, this foam will work in most memory foam pillows and will keep them feeling full and soft for years.
