10 Best Brands To Buy Pillows From For A Good Night's Sleep

Memory Foam: Recently become quite popular because of their ability to easily mould into your head's shape. Due to the nature of the material, it's able to provide good support to your head and may even aid with pain relief. That being said, it may take some time to find the right density according to your comfort and get used to the material if you haven’t slept on one before. 

Suitable For: Side, back sleepers

Cotton: Eco-friendly, soft and hypoallergenic. While the material won't mould into the shape of your head compared to other options, it's still one of the most sought after pillow types because of how comfortable and breathable it is. 

Suitable For: Back, side and stomach sleepers

Feather Pillows: Feather filling makes for a great option if you’re in search of a supportive and comfortable option. They're lightweight, easily mould to your body's shape and a good option to use in the wintertime, as they tend to retain body heat hold shape and are quite light. However, it’s important to note that it's a little tricky when it comes to cleaning them and also requires fluffing to maintain the loft. Most feather pillows are blended with a small amount of down (soft fibres close to the skin of a duck, goose, or swan), so be sure to check the composition if you're someone who might be allergic.

Suitable For: Side, back sleepers

Polyester Pillow: Usually made from curled polyester fibres, polyester pillows are easily available, budget-friendly and lightweight. They can be machine washed but can develop lumps fairly quickly. Available in different levels of firmness, this one tends to work for all sleeping positions.

Gel Pillow: The perfect pick for summertime because of its cooling nature. Most gel pillows are made of a combination of gel with another material, like latex or foam—providing the best of both worlds. The gel material is firm yet can be easily moulded to fit the contours of the sleeper. Note that if you're someone who prefers soft cushiony pillows this might be too firm an option for you.
