So can you put pillowcases on them and still have the same affect? Like the cooling pillow? Because you have no pillow cases and I’m wondering if that has an impact on the pillow
Is the easy breather side sleeper pillow going to be more firm or dense than the easy breather standard shape pillow? And how far does head sink into pillow?
I've been searching for a new pillow for the past 6 hours and I just found this video and it was SO HELPFUL. THANK YOU!!!!! Instant subscribe and I will follow this page on your other social media accounts
sadly not all side sleepers like lofty pillows, my current pillow is about 2 inches thick and I much prefer them thinner even though i sleep mainly on my side.
I bought the Casper pillow, to go with my casper mattress, and as a side sleeper I hate it. it doesn't support my head. Not really a fan of putting my arm under my pillow, but its the only way i get enough support. I like Casper, but I'm straying away since it doesn't meet my 'side sleeper' needs.
Hey Wendy. Check out Coop Home Goods Eden Pillow you'll never hurt again. If you have a memory foam bed that you sink into you'll wanna take out a lot of the fluff. It's amazing I get them for everyone. Buy from the company website cause they give you free fill if you need it to be fluffier. Also go for standard size or even travel size is perfect size (not the same fill but the regular fill works well as well) because the queen size is huge. I have standard also and it is way bigger than your typical pillow. Google for coupons to get some money off of the total but legit it is WORTH the investment. Just buy it and say eff everything else lol you'll forgive yourself in a few days I promise. Good luck!
Hey Ally - I hear that! Every pillow is different, of course, but I like to pay attention to warranties to get an idea of each one's durability. For example, Tempur-Pedic pillows are backed by a 5-year warranty because the brand knows they're built to last. On a personal note, I've been sleeping with the Saatva Dreams pillow for two years, my partner has been sleeping with the Avocado Green pillow for two years, and both are still perfectly supportive. Essentially, there's no hard and fast rule around lifespan because every pillow is so different. But I will say that, in my experience, quality tends to cost a little extra. For me, it's better to spend $100 every 3 years or so than spend $40 every 6 months. Hope this helps, feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!

That assumes they're making 3 trips to the diner each month. I rarely go out to eat, don't drink coffee, and only buy new clothes or shoes when the ones I have are falling apart. If I'm going to save up $100, it's going to be for something like medicine or car repairs, not a pillow.
I'd pay that if the pillow was actually good but everytime I have invested the pillow has NOT been worth it is the trouble. I am guessing others have experienced this too or they wouldn't be watching this video.
You're not wrong about that! That's why, as a hot sleeper myself, I aim for shredded memory foam (like we see in the Layla, SpineAlign, and Nest Bedding pillows featured here). The shreds of foam are able to move independently within the pillow, allowing for more breathability - and therefore better cooling. However, the Bear Pillow is covered in icy-cool Phase Change Material, making it the coolest overall. It's filled with a proprietary blend of polyfoam called Loft-X which was designed to be body conforming like memory foam, but have the bouncy resilience of latex. So, in general, I suggest shredded memory foam for better cooling. But if you're looking for solid foam, give the Bear Pillow a try!
@@atragedy6223 If you're a side sleeper, I'd suggest you try either the SpineAlign pillow from Dr. Loth or the Easy Breather Side Sleeper pillow from Nest Bedding. Both are designed to keep your neck in neutral alignment with your spine, and limit your ability to shift out of alignment. The SpineAlign was actually designed by a chiropractor, so it might not be a bad idea to start there! Good luck, and thanks for reaching out!
I'd say the purple pillow is also a great option I own one and sleep on my side and once slept on hardwood with it and lets say I didn't wake up to any neck pain at all and that's on top of hardwood but its 109$- 15 year old kid saying this btw.
love love love the looks of that Layla pillow...it seems amazing and sounds perfect for me as a side sleeper. I actually like the nest easy breather and the avocado pillow too...
Hey there - The one I'm showing here in this video is the Casper Original (my personal fave Casper pillow). But since shooting this video, Casper has released a foam pillow that's also great for side sleepers. You can find my full review of it on sleepopolis.com!
Hey Pete! If you're asking for my personal favorite, I'm a big fan of the Layla and the Casper. I love a big ol' lofty build and some good fluffability. However, every body is different and everybody sleeps differently. So, I encourage you to test out the pillows that appeal to you the most. And let us know what you end up with! Happy sleeping :) -Sarah
@@Sleepopolis Hey Sleepoplis Pete Here again, so I just purchased 2 Casper pillows 1 Std and 1 King and a set of pillow cases to go with each.

I use a Tempurpedic symphony pillow and have been for many years. Before I would have to stack 2 pillows to get the same comfort that my current pillow gives me.
@@Sleepopolis Hello! Just bought 2 Tempurpedic cooling pillows but they go flat almost immediately - disappointed that I'm back to stacking again. Previous pillow was some type of gel model that was super dense, almost like a soft brick and I loved it. However, the shape got weird over time and took on the look of a pointy tree log which the wife hated. So I'm on the hunt again! Any suggestions for a lofty & dense pillow? By the way, excellent review.
I liked the the Guy Pillow but I will look at your suggestion and make a decision, "Need pillows now" thanks subscribed so will be keeping an eye on your site for bedding if any, you do a great job on your site, almost went on to another video but your knowledge of the subject and my need for someone to help me held my attention, good job...Pete
I never hear how fast the foam or mattress bounces back after sleeping a night on the mattress.? Do these beds have deflection that the mattress doesn't? bounce back
I ordered the coop home goods pillow, and immediately hated it because it felt lumpy. Now I don’t want to try another shredded memory foam pillow for that reason.. do you find the Layla pillow lumpy?
Side sleeper who puts arm under pillow that prefers soft pillows cant stand firm pillows. The one pillow brand I usually buy I'm guessing is being poorly made now because the pillows keep flattening to the point where I cant sleep right which is something I never had a problem with the same pillows with years ago. What would you suggest?
Hey Red Raider! I know what you mean - I also prefer a shapeable pillow that I can slip an arm under when I'm on my side. In general, side sleepers do need a firmer level of support to maintain healthy posture. However, if you give yourself enough loft, you don't need a super firm pillow. If I were you, I'd try the back/side sleeper pillow by Pillow Guy, and/or the Casper pillow. Both offer a fluffy, down-alternative feel and a soft-medium level of firmness. But, you can still slide your arm under and bunch either of these pillows up to reach the loft that keeps your body most comfortable. Remember: in order to keep a neutral spine, try to keep your ears in line with your shoulders, and your chin in line with your sternum. Thanks for reaching out, and let us know what you end up with!
Hey Olayinka! For a soft yet supportive pillow, I like to pick a shredded fill. The Layla Kapok pillow, Eli & Elm Side Sleeper, and Coop Home Goods memory foam pillows are great examples. If size is a priority, I can tell you that the King size Layla pillow is very big!
Hey there! Unfortunately, I would not recommend it for stomach sleepers. It’s got a very high loft and a fluffy fill which is best suited to side sleepers. Although, because it’s adjustable, you could technically remove the internal fill until it’s low enough so that your head isn’t craned upwards. However, you’d have to remove a considerable amount of fill. I suggest you check out my Best Pillows for Stomach Sleepers review so you can get a better idea of which pillows fit this specific sleep style!
Hey Peter! Well, firstly, I suggest you check out my review of the Best Pillows for Side Sleepers. It features a lot of different pillows designed to suit side sleepers of all kinds. Additionally, I suggest you go with something that's got a very lofty build, but is also foldable and shapeable so that you can still enjoy slipping your arm beneath the pillow (that's how I sleep too!). Great examples of this are the Layla pillow, the Saatva Dreams pillow, and the Avocado Green pillow (all of which have been individually reviewed on sleepopolis.com). Happy hunting, and let us know what you end up with!
That's a tough one. I'd have to go with the Layla as I love a super lofty build. Additionally, the shredded memory foam offers a nice sink into the material, but because it's shredded, it's still got some good fluff-ability as well. I will say that the Bear Pillow definitely sleeps the coolest - so if you're a hot sleeper, that might be your best bet. And remember, all of these pillows come with trial periods so, if you pick one and you're not crazy about it, just send it back and keep on searching! Good luck, and happy sleeping. -Sarah
Help! I sleep on my back, then during the night I switch to my sides back and forth. My shoulders hurts after a while this is one of the reasons I switch sides or sleep on my back during the night. Anything to relieve the pressure from my shoulders?
Hi Daniel! I labeled the Layla pillow "best for broad shoulders," but you don't need to have broad shoulders to enjoy the pressure relief this pillow provides. As long as you're not a stomach sleeper, I'd say this is the best option for you. The super lofty build and blend of Kapok and shredded memory foam offer great pressure for the shoulder. Let me know what you end up with! -Sarah
I switch my positions throughout the night too, which makes it particularly hard to find a pillow that suits me. I tried Layla, it's pretty good. But I recently got a contour memory foam pillow, branded PILO, on Amazon. It's thinner in the middle and loftier on the sides, which suits me very well as a side/back sleeper. It also has a built-in stereo system that I use to play soft music, white noise and ASMR audio to help me fall asleep. Not sure if that’d be your thing but definitely worth checking out.
Hey Rachael! I think the Casper would be a great choice - good call! It's fluffable, and definitely offers that "soft and cozy" feel. I'd also recommend the Layla pillow as the brand's newest model features an adjustable fill which allows you to customize the loft and support. Thanks for reaching out, and let us know what you end up with! -Sarah
Hi I enjoy your review, As a side sleeper I have two problems, I’m suffering from shoulder pain because of it and my ear gets very sore as well which one wold you recommend for this issues thanks any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Hi venecia2834! Glad you enjoyed the review :) Now, I suggest sleeping on a King size Layla pillow. The standard Layla pillow is already one of the loftiest pillows in the game (and that plush, high loft is going to releive pressure in your shoulder), but the King size will take that pressure relief a few steps further. This is my #1 recommendation for side sleepers with shoulder pain. It does come with a trial period, so give it a try and let me know what you think! -Sarah
Question for you Sarah. I need a new pillow. I am predominately a side sleeper, sometimes back. I sleep hot and need something cooling, but I am not a fan of solid memory phone (open to the idea of shredded foam). I have been watching a lot of videos and am having trouble finding one that ticks all those boxes. Also, we just got a purple mattress and the sheets, so would I still feel the cooling benefits of the pillow using the purple pillow cases? I know standard pillow cases kinda block the cooling, but I know purples are quite a bit different.
Hey Donald :) Firstly, the Purple sheets are bamboo-based and very breathable. No matter the pillow you choose, Purple pillowcases are so light and airy, they aren't thick enough to obstruct a pillow's cooling properties in a major way. That said, if you got a pillow covered in cooling phase change material, you might find that you enjoy sleeping on the cover fabric without a pillowcase. In this video, did the Layla pillow appeal to you? It's filled with shredded memory foam (more breathable than solid memory foam), and is ideal for back/side sleepers. It also has copper woven into the cover fabric to help draw heat away from your head. I'd give the Layla a try if I were you!
@@Sleepopolis it did look great, only thing that concerned me was the loft seemed massive, and I do occasionally sleep on my back. I may still give that a try though since they have the trial period. Thanks for getting back to me!
Going on about 31 yrs with same pillow I will never give up because for some reason, they are making these pillows, today, too big. I am 5F1.2” and I do NOT need a supersize pillow. I buy so many and none are small enough. The higher it goes, the more my neck cricks. I have spent hundreds on one and less then thirty. But none work. SORRY. lol
Hey Rich! It is often the case that back and side sleepers can use one pillow for both of those positions, yes. Stomach sleeping is a little trickier as you need a pillow with lower loft in order to maintain spine alignment. But the SpineAlign, Layla, Casper, and Avocado are all great examples of pillows that support folks who alternate between back and side sleeping! Thanks for reaching out, and let us know what you end up with! -Sarah
Great video very informative i all ready own the spine align mattress and pillow yhe only size pillow they sell is queen and o lovr the pillow keep s mr in sllign algo keeps your head cool. I lovr ir it thank you
I don't understand why all these pillow reviews recommend a high loft for side sleepers. I only sleep on my side and HATE a high loft. I wake up in the middle of the night almost crying from neck pain if I use a lofty pillow. The best pillows I've had were almost flat. I can't imagine any pillow with a high loft being comfortable for a smaller side sleeper. High loft pulls your neck up at a horrible angle. Not for me. I just want a pillow I don't slide down off of in the middle of the night. 🙄
"Malleable?" - Don't think you know what that word means. (of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.
What if i told you that you could revive ur old fluffed out, puffy pillow and restore the firmness and the tightness of the foam all you need to do is just fuff youre pillow the basic method once youre done puffing up ur pillow as much as it allows i want you to then pinch all four of the pillows corners and tuck them inwardly into the edges of ur pillow u should also fold all four sides inwardly use ur fingers to mould straight line edges youl notice your pillow becomes tighter and more puffed up and youl have a good night sleep without having to fluff ur pillow during the night trust me try it for yourself dont thank me i just want to read about your experience using my methed to restore the fluff of your old pillow ofcoz this method works best with a brand new pillow

But I recently got a contour memory foam pillow, branded PILO, on Amazon. It's thinner in the middle and loftier on the sides, which suits me very well as a side/back sleeper. It also has a built-in stereo system that I use to play soft music, white noise and ASMR audio to help me fall asleep. Not sure if that’d be your thing but definitely worth checking out.
Great beds and pillows!
I pray someday that I will be able to afford comfort(´･_･`) sad but true.
You guys need to take a trip to Marshall’s
Love my purple pillow!
I want a pillow that feels soft and cozy but has support so i doesn’t fall flat at night. I think this would be the Casper ?! Do you agree !
Hey Rachael! I think the Casper would be a great choice - good call! It's fluffable, and definitely offers that "soft and cozy" feel. I'd also recommend the Layla pillow as the brand's newest model features an adjustable fill which allows you to customize the loft and support. Thanks for reaching out, and let us know what you end up with!

Hi I enjoy your review, As a side sleeper I have two problems, I’m suffering from shoulder pain because of it and my ear gets very sore as well which one wold you recommend for this issues thanks any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Hi venecia2834! Glad you enjoyed the review :) Now, I suggest sleeping on a King size Layla pillow. The standard Layla pillow is already one of the loftiest pillows in the game (and that plush, high loft is going to releive pressure in your shoulder), but the King size will take that pressure relief a few steps further. This is my #1 recommendation for side sleepers with shoulder pain. It does come with a trial period, so give it a try and let me know what you think!

Any suggestions for a side-sleeper that wears a full face cpap mask? I tried invested hundreds of $$ and am still looking.
Hey Donald - Can you tell me more about the pillows you've tried so far? What did you find to be the main problem with them?
A high loft for side sleepers is the worst!
I agree. It's a killer on the neck. Although if you're a tall person with broad shoulders then it may be appropriate.
Question for you Sarah. I need a new pillow. I am predominately a side sleeper, sometimes back. I sleep hot and need something cooling, but I am not a fan of solid memory phone (open to the idea of shredded foam). I have been watching a lot of videos and am having trouble finding one that ticks all those boxes. Also, we just got a purple mattress and the sheets, so would I still feel the cooling benefits of the pillow using the purple pillow cases? I know standard pillow cases kinda block the cooling, but I know purples are quite a bit different.
Hey Donald :) Firstly, the Purple sheets are bamboo-based and very breathable. No matter the pillow you choose, Purple pillowcases are so light and airy, they aren't thick enough to obstruct a pillow's cooling properties in a major way. That said, if you got a pillow covered in cooling phase change material, you might find that you enjoy sleeping on the cover fabric without a pillowcase. In this video, did the Layla pillow appeal to you? It's filled with shredded memory foam (more breathable than solid memory foam), and is ideal for back/side sleepers. It also has copper woven into the cover fabric to help draw heat away from your head. I'd give the Layla a try if I were you!
@@Sleepopolis it did look great, only thing that concerned me was the loft seemed massive, and I do occasionally sleep on my back. I may still give that a try though since they have the trial period. Thanks for getting back to me!
love her t-shirt, looks comfortable
I wish the reviews included what size pillowcase fits. I like a silk pillow case on my pillow.
Oh good point, I like that idea!
Entire video I seen only your face... Love at first site... I think I am in love with your smily face... I love you😘
Going on about 31 yrs with same pillow I will never give up because for some reason, they are making these pillows, today, too big. I am 5F1.2” and I do NOT need a supersize pillow. I buy so many and none are small enough. The higher it goes, the more my neck cricks. I have spent hundreds on one and less then thirty. But none work. SORRY. lol
THANKS!
Help need find good pillows - best pillow video yet thanks Pete
Thanks!
i sleep side and back tho, should i just use a side pillow for both?!
Hey Rich! It is often the case that back and side sleepers can use one pillow for both of those positions, yes. Stomach sleeping is a little trickier as you need a pillow with lower loft in order to maintain spine alignment. But the SpineAlign, Layla, Casper, and Avocado are all great examples of pillows that support folks who alternate between back and side sleeping! Thanks for reaching out, and let us know what you end up with!

Great video very informative i all ready own the spine align mattress and pillow yhe only size pillow they sell is queen and o lovr the pillow keep s mr in sllign algo keeps your head cool. I lovr ir it thank you
I LOVE YA !
This is cool
I don't understand why all these pillow reviews recommend a high loft for side sleepers. I only sleep on my side and HATE a high loft. I wake up in the middle of the night almost crying from neck pain if I use a lofty pillow. The best pillows I've had were almost flat. I can't imagine any pillow with a high loft being comfortable for a smaller side sleeper. High loft pulls your neck up at a horrible angle. Not for me. I just want a pillow I don't slide down off of in the middle of the night. 🙄
Thank you! Only a true side sleeper will know that we can't sleep on a puffy or overstuffed pillow!
:( I want a pillow that is actually firm.
OMG They look amazing but 100 for a pillow is so expensive.
*I guess Hannah Baker was a youtuber before 13 reasons why*
Hate the purple pillow soooooo uncomfortable

Here for pillows not her, but she does look like my 2nd kids mom.
"Malleable?" - Don't think you know what that word means.
(of a metal or other material) able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.
She used it correctly. A metal **or other material** that can be reshaped. Synonyms: pliable, workable, shapable, moldable.
What if i told you that you could revive ur old fluffed out, puffy pillow and restore the firmness and the tightness of the foam all you need to do is just fuff youre pillow the basic method once youre done puffing up ur pillow as much as it allows i want you to then pinch all four of the pillows corners and tuck them inwardly into the edges of ur pillow u should also fold all four sides inwardly use ur fingers to mould straight line edges youl notice your pillow becomes tighter and more puffed up and youl have a good night sleep without having to fluff ur pillow during the night trust me try it for yourself dont thank me i just want to read about your experience using my methed to restore the fluff of your old pillow ofcoz this method works best with a brand new pillow
Walmart $6 side sleeper pillow sucks!
Time to step up your pillow game!
CASPER PILLOW IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! NO SUPPORT
