Nothing highlights the importance of a good pillow like trying to sleep on a bad one, and people who sleep on their side, in particular, can have a tough time finding the right fit because they need more neck and head support.
After more than 1,000 nights spent testing 119 pillows, we’ve found a number of options for side-sleepers. And we think the Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow is the best one for a range of side-sleepers.
We recommend the Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillow for both side- and back-sleepers in our full guide to bed pillows, and we know that some stomach-sleepers (those who sleep half on their side, half on their stomach) also find it comfortable. This pillow offers neck support that doesn’t cause pain.
Many companies advertise their pillows for specific sleep positions, but in our experience their recommendations don’t match up all that well. Overwhelmingly, our side-sleeping testers have preferred pillows with shredded memory foam (even when they didn’t like the idea of sleeping on foam at first) because of its moldability.
The Easy Breather comes in four sizes, including a side-sleeper version with a curved edge for your shoulder (which we haven’t yet tested). This pillow comes with a 30-day return policy and a two-year warranty.
