To get your best nights sleep it’s not only important to choose the right firmness of your mattress,

But its also very important to match your pillow to how you sleep.

So depending on the position you usually sleep in, side, back or stomach, or a combination, make sure you find the right pillow.

Its been estimated by sleep experts at Consumer Reports that nearly 70% of the population sleep on their sides.

So an extra firm pillow would likely be the best fit if you’re in that group.

That’s because a firm pillow allows you to keep the perfect alignment and supporting contour of your neck and head.

In a study from 2015 from the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, experts discovered the most ideal height was 10 centimeters, about 4 inches from the mattress.

And a firm memory foam or latex pillow will allow the support of the head at the proper height and angle.

So what is the best side sleeper pillow recommended by Consumer Report?

Well, they mention several but here we’ll list the Top 3 that are all fantastic choices for side sleepers.

The Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft pillow is comprised of memory foam that is shredded and was given an excellent rating by Consumer Report.

Its a good match for tall or short bodies and even if you sleep on your back.

So it’s good for combo side and back sleepers.

It maintained it’s shape and did not collapse in height during the tests at Consumer Report.

One thing to note that might be a negative for some is, it sleeps a bit warm so if you’re a warm sleeper you may wake up a bit sweaty at night

Next, is the My Pillow Premium which Consumer Report claims side sleepers will really enjoy.

It earned an Excellent rating in their tests but it was noted that if you sleep on your back as well, it might not be the best choice.

That’s because it allows the head to sink in substantially.

It is great though if you sleep warm as the pillow has excellent breathability, allowing it to dissipate heat and moisture to keep you cooler.

And finally, we have the Tempur-Pedic Breeze Dual Cooling which is perfect for side sleepers that sleep warm

Its made with 2 layers of cooling gel memory foam.

Keep in mind it’s the most expensive pillow of the 3 but it may feel the most high quality and luxurious of them all.

They’re all available at Amazon and can be purchased as Prime, allowing you to try each with essentially no risk!
