What’s The Best Memory Foam Pillow For Side Sleepers?

What is the ideal pillow?

Why should you worry about a good quality pillow when you are in search mode? It does not really matter if you have the best mattress, but your pillow keeping you awake at night. There are so many people that are living with secondary insomnia because their sleeping environment aka mattress and pillow are not suited for them. So let us come down to the question. What’s the best memory foam pillow for side sleepers?

You need to know what type of sleeper you are, before buying a pillow!

This tells me that you already know what type of sleeper you are and this is going to make it easier for you. If your primary position is to sleep is good neck positionon your side, then a firmer type of pillow will do. So why do I say this?

To have a comfortable position on your bed, your spine needs to be in a horizontal aligned position and the same can be said for your neck. The wrong pillow can certainly give you neck problems. If you are a side sleeper and you have a very soft pillow, then your head will sink in too deep into the pillow, which will give you a sore neck.

Other things to look for in memory foam pillows

  • Memory foam is a great choice when looking to buy a pillow. It is soft and contours very well to the shape of your head and neck. Memory foam also tends to last longer than normal sponge pillows.
  • Temperature regulation. This is a very important trait that is often overlooked. There is nothing I hate more than a wet pillow full of sweat especially in the summer.
  • Durability. This trait is also very important because after a while your pillow will get flat and to buy one every month or two can be very frustrating and expensive.
  • Allergy proof. If you are allergic to dust mites, then you will have a sniffing nose instead of a good night’s sleep. You need a pillow that is dust mite proof.

I like the honesty and oddball details in your review, haha. I’m kinda strange with my pillows – I’ve had my current one about 4 years now because I’ve never found another that matches it’s particular feel.
I highly dislike memory foam pillows because I like a different level of firmness every night. This causes me to bunch my pillow sometimes so all the filling is towards the middle and feels firmer, or fluff it and let the filling spread out with the weight of my head to feel softer. Generally, I don’t mind if the filling feels lumpy as long as they aren’t the hard lumps like you get after washing and drying most pillows a few times (which I haven’t done with this one since I use a zipped dust case plus pillow case)
So, that being said, how would you describe the lumps? Can’t say I’ve ever felt lumpy flour… but I’d assume it’s softer than the traditional cheap and crappy lumpy pillow, right? And does it seem to smooth out at all with the weight of your head or does it remain lumpy? Do you think after using it for a while it might be good for someone who likes forming their pillow a little differently every night?

This is a great post. Good quality of mattresses and pillows are really important . After I had long hours at work, I just wish to get a good night’s sleep and it cannot occur without all these good qualities in my bed room.

    Thanks Seth.

    A good mattress and pillow form a great deal of sleep hygiene. We must never dismiss opportunities to create a better sleep environment.

    Hi Peter. I am affiliated with both btw. With US-mattress it is a bit harder, because they do not approve so easily. There are other networks, US-mattress is the best when it comes to price and customer service

    Hi Elle

    To wake up each morning with a sore neck is not worth it. I have a normal sponge pillow that I want give away and get me a memory foam one. Luckily they are not that expensive.

    Thanks a lot Amanda. Memory foam pillows are my favourite. I am a side sleeper, so the firm type is best for me.
