Choosing the right pillow is more than a matter of comfort. It plays a key role in posture support, reduces strain, and creates a restful night’s sleep. With many different types of pillows available today, from natural down to modern alternatives, it can feel overwhelming to find the best type of pillow for your needs. At ROHI, the collection combines comfort, luxury, and support. Below is a guide to all types of pillows and how each one improves sleep.
Down Pillows
Down pillows contain the soft under-feathers of ducks or geese. They provide unmatched softness and insulation. A down pillow adapts naturally to the head and neck. The result feels like resting on a cloud. These pillows are breathable. They stay cool in summer yet add gentle warmth during colder months.

Duck Down Pillow – Slightly firmer than goose down but still indulgent and soft.
Why choose down? Down pillows last for years, breathe well, and mold easily to any sleeping style. For anyone searching for the best type of pillow that blends comfort with elegance, goose or duck down remains a timeless choice.
Down Alternative Pillows – Hypoallergenic and Comfort
Down alternative pillows use microfibre fills that mimic the feel of natural down. They are hypoallergenic and easier to clean than real down. Unlike natural fills, they wash well and retain shape after multiple uses. They are also more affordable, which makes them popular in family homes and guest bedrooms.

Why choose down alternative? They deliver the softness of down but suit people with allergies. They provide comfort at an accessible price and remain one of the most practical options among all types of pillows.
Quilted Pillows
Quilted pillows feature stitched covers and multiple layers of fill. The quilting helps the pillow maintain its shape while preventing clumping. This design offers a balance between softness and resilience. A quilted surface also feels smooth and structured. These qualities extend pillow life and make it more versatile for different sleepers.

Hotel Luxe Quilted Down Alternative Pillow Pair
Best for: Quilted pillows suit anyone who wants a soft surface with added stability. They also work well as decorative cushions without losing comfort for nightly rest.
Gusseted Pillows
Gusseted pillows have side panels that provide height and stability. Unlike flat pillows, they do not collapse in the center. They maintain consistent loft and help align the spine. The side panels allow the pillow to distribute weight evenly. This reduces pressure on the neck and shoulders.

Best for: Side sleepers benefit most from gusseted pillows, but they also work well for back sleepers who need extra support. They are among the most reliable designs when comparing different types of pillows.
Cotton Pillows
Cotton pillows provide natural comfort. They are light, breathable, and hypoallergenic. Cotton filling allows air to circulate freely. This helps the pillow stay cool and fresh throughout the night. Cotton also absorbs moisture, which supports a dry sleeping surface. Although they flatten quicker than foam, the cool crisp feel keeps them popular in warm climates.

Cooling pillows use fabrics and fills designed to regulate temperature. They keep the sleeper comfortable by releasing heat during the night. Eco pillows focus on sustainable design and environmentally friendly materials. Both types represent innovation in modern bedding.

Specialty Pillows
Specialty pillows go beyond the standard rectangular shape. Body pillows provide extra length and support. They improve spinal alignment and reduce hip strain for side sleepers. V-shaped pillows support the back and neck while sitting up in bed. They are also useful for recovery or added comfort during reading.
