Several ELLE editors have found Casper’s pillows to be tried and true. Claire Stern, digital deputy editor, is just one who recommends the purchase. “If I’m being honest, I sleep on a cervical pillow for neck pain, but I always prop it up against my plush Casper pillow,” she says. “That way, the back of my head rests comfortably.”
Sizes: Standard or king
Fill: Down alternative
Customer review: “We are an elderly couple with neck and shoulder pain. Stiffness in the morning has been a big problem…These are very impressive pillows! They are plump, soft, and substantial…Morning stiffness is lessening after each night. We are side sleepers and highly recommend these pillows.”
My Buffy comforter is one of my most prized possessions and it has been for years. I have oft wrapped myself in its fluffy goodness and wished I could have an entire bed made of Buffy. Now, I’m one step closer.
Sizes: Standard or king
Fill: Eucalyptus, recycled PET fill
Customer review: “The cloud pillow does feel like sleeping on a cloud. I bought the least firm option and it was still very supportive and doesn’t lose its loft.”
Pros
- Available in standard or high loft
- Discounts available on bundles
Cons
- Pricey
Saatva’s standard loft pillow is perfect for stomach and back sleepers, while the slightly larger edition is better suited for side sleepers.
Sizes: Queen or king
Fill: Shredded latex, cotton
Customer review: “I’m a troubled sleeper and after trying everything else I decided it was time for a new pillow. After researching I found this pillow. I had my first amazing nights sleep after getting this baby. I’m hooked…get this pillow now!”

Best Cervical Pillow
Cushion Lab Deep Sleep Pillow
Now 35% Off
Cons
- Pricey
- Pillow core is not machine washable
I’ve been yapping about wanting to try this pillow since I first discovered it about a month ago…and I’m not slowing down anytime soon! This specially sculpted pillow is designed for ultimate cervical support. And I believe it will help me commit to being a full-time back sleeper.
Sizes: OS
Fill: Memory foam
Customer review: “The Deep Sleep Pillow keeps me asleep all night and I wake up in the same position…I will never sleep with a different pillow again. If you’re on the fence because of the price, just buy it and you’ll forget all about how much you spent.”
Best Memory Foam Pillow
Luxome LAYR Customizable Pillow
Best Memory Foam Pillow
Luxome LAYR Customizable Pillow
Pros
- Customizable experience
- Discounts available on bundles
Cons
- Expensive
If you’re eternally picky and have never found a pillow that got it just right, I recommend giving LAYR a shot. It’s one pillow (kind of) with many possible configurations. See, it comes with multiple inserts of various densities and removable fill for a setup that is completely specific to you.
Sizes: Standard or king
Fill: Memory foam
Customer review: “I LOVE this pillow. After trying so many others (MyPillow, Casper, Therapeudic, etc.) this is by far the best one! Took me about three days to get it just right for me, but since then I’ve been sleeping so well and not waking up with neck/back pain anymore. Would definitely recommend.”
Pros
- Available in low, medium, or tall heights
- Trial period
- Cooling
Cons
- Expensive
Whether you’re looking for a pillow to keep you cool at night or need something with extra support (but doesn’t feel like a brick), Purple’s Harmony Pillow will be just what your need. Take it from our senior fashion commerce editor, Dale Arden Chong, who has been using it for two years. “It’s a very different feel from other pillows I’ve tried, but in the best way possible. The unique grid is incredibly comfortable but offers a slight bounciness, which keeps my head from sinking in uncomfortably.”
Sizes: Standard or king
Fill: Gel grid, latex
Customer review: “This is by far the most expensive pillow I have ever bought, but it is also the BEST pillow I have ever slept on. This thing is the perfect blend of softness and support. It stays cool, so I don’t need to flip over to the cool side later. I am going to need another one because my wife and kids keep trying to steal it.”
