Best pillow for sleep, by position
A pillow's main job is to keep your neck aligned with your spine โ the ideal height depends on your sleep position and mattress firmness.

By position
- Side sleepers: a firmer, taller pillow to fill the gap between shoulder and head.
- Back sleepers: medium loft, to support the neck's natural curve.
- Stomach sleepers: a thin, soft pillow, or none, to avoid straining the neck.
Material matters too
Memory foam contours closely; down and fiber pillows are softer and more adjustable.
