Side Sleeper Pillows

Side Sleeper Pillows

Side sleepers need more height than back or front sleepers, since the pillow has to fill the gap between the shoulder and the neck rather than sit close to the mattress. Too flat and the neck tilts down. Too soft and it collapses under the weight of the head through the night.

      15 SIDE SLEEPER PILLOWS

      Getting the height right matters more than fill type for side sleeping, though the two work together. Gusseted constructions add structured height that resists flattening under the weight of the head, which suits side sleeping particularly well. The range also covers cotton, down alternative, and microfibre pillow pairs, natural duck and goose down for a softer traditional feel, and cotton blend body pillows sized for double, king and super king beds that support the length of the body as well as the head.

      A pillow that keeps the neck level with the spine while lying on your side reduces the shoulder and neck strain that leads to morning stiffness. Gusseted pillows hold their height better than a standard flat construction, and a body pillow adds extra support along the torso and legs for anyone who wants more than head support alone.
