Which Pillow for Your Sleep Position
Posted by Kristen Stannix on
Choosing the right pillow isn’t just about the fill — it’s also about your sleep position. The right pillow helps keep your head, neck, and spine in proper alignment.
- Side Sleepers
Need a medium to firm pillow with higher loft to fill the gap between the shoulder and head.
Best Choices: Down (firm fill), Latex, Wool Knops (adjustable), Buckwheat
Shop Side Sleeper Pillows - Back Sleepers
Do best with a medium pillow that supports the natural curve of the neck without pushing the head forward.
Best Choices: Down (medium fill), Wool Knops (adjustable), Memory Foam
Shop Back Sleeper Pillows - Stomach Sleepers
Need a soft, low-loft pillow to prevent neck strain. Many stomach sleepers even prefer no pillow at all.
Best Choices: Soft Down, Soft Synthetic, or an adjustable Wool Knop with fill removed
Shop Stomach Sleeper Pillows
Tip: If you move between positions at night (combination sleeper), an adjustable pillow like wool knops or shredded latex gives you the flexibility to customize the loft until it feels just right.
