THE REVIEWS: "I didn't know what to expect picking up a pack of 2 from the treasure truck deal. They turned out to be an excellent purchase," one reviewer wrote. "Soft enough to sink your head in, but just firm enough to hold it in place without going flat. The wife and I have been using them for a few weeks now, and both agree they were definitely worth it."

This price tag is steep, but it's seriously worth the money. Our gracious Senior Shopping Editor, Kim Duong, swears by this pillow. Thanks to its unique Grid Hex design and Talalay latex core, this pillow is capable of being the ultimate multitasker. It'll keep you cool all night as air ventilates through the grid and helps keep sweat away while properly supporting your head and neck.

THE REVIEWS: "Had to at least try it because I toss and turn a lot and sweat a bit, but since I picked up the harmony, my sleep has been noticeably better," one reviewer wrote. "And even with a medium standard size, it didn't lack support or coolness, my head felt bouncy, and I haven't had any neck soreness, so I'm recommending this as the best pillow money can buy."

Ever feel like your pillow could use just a ~lil~ extra oomf? Well with this one you can create the perfect pillow with the right amount of support just for you. It arrives already filled with cross-cut memory foam—which is more breathable than regular shredded memory foam, plus it won't flatten out like your basic memory foam—and comes with an extra half bag of stuffing to add to your pillow for the maximum level of support. You’re sure to find the best sleep with this bb.

THE REVIEWS: "I am a side sleeper, and I have had trouble finding a pillow that has the right density and holds its shape. I have had this pillow for weeks now, and I love, love it," wrote one reviewer. "I love that they send you additional stuffing that allows you to adjust the loft for personalized comfort. I slept on it a few nights before I decided to add more stuffing. It is perfect for me. The quality is amazing, and I believe it will last for a long, long time. I highly recommend it!"

I personally love sleeping on my side, but my fellow beauty junkies know the struggle—all your night cream ends up on the pillow, you wake up with random creases on your face, your breakouts get exacerbated by all of the friction and rubbing, urgh! Enter the Side Sleeper Pillow! This bad boy is built to minimize face-smooshing while still supporting your neck and head. Customers say that it’s also ideal for anyone who wants to avoid facial filler getting “smashed flat” while sleeping. The more you know!

• Best suited for: Side sleepers

THE REVIEWS: “[This pillow] is very comfy! It was a bit too plump when I got it so I took some of the stuffing out and now it is so perfect and comfortable,” one customer wrote. “I love its shape as it allows me to breathe better since my nose can hang off the pillow and not get smooshed into it. I am also hoping this will last a little longer than a few years since I will be able to replace or replenish the stuffing I took out when I got it. So very glad I bought this and would definitely recommend it!”

Extra-thick, sink-right-in pillows aren’t for everyone! If you prefer something a little less plush, this slim pillow is about to change the freaking game for you. It’s 2.75 inches in height, made of CertiPUR-US certified gel memory foam that draws heat away from the surface and comes with a removable cover for easy washing. And if you ever randomly have a night where the flatness isn’t quite doing the trick, you can fold it in half or roll it up to create more support for your head and neck.

If you’ve ever had a sleepless night where you’re laying in bed, thinking, “This pillow would be perfect if it was just 25% flatter,” I have good news for you. This one-of-a-kind pillow from EverSnug contains not one, not two, but three (!!) inserts that you can take out or add back in to adjust your pillow to your heart’s content. You’ll be able to find the perfect pillow height so your head and spine are completely aligned, eliminating neck and nerve pain.

THE REVIEWS: “I am a back sleeper who can just about do without a pillow at all. I am using only one of the three that come in each zippered pillowcase. I find it to be incredibly soft and cooling. They are very easy to adjust individually,” one customer wrote. “If I would like a little more support under my neck I can easily scrunch the pillow up a tiny bit and it is very comfortable. On the rare occasion I sleep on my side I can use 2 or all 3 of the inserts and fold the pillow in half to get a very comfortable feel. This is a fantastic pillow for flat pillow lovers.”

THE REVIEWS: "My wife has struggled to find a comfortable foam pillow for a while. She is a side and back sleeper, and they're usually either shaped oddly or don't offer enough support," a review reads. "She really loves this pillow and sleeps great on it. It did give off a minor odor for the first day or two, but it didn't bother her, and it went away quickly."

THE REVIEWS: "Was skeptical buying pillows online but have to say I was pretty surprised—these are good quality pillows," wrote one reviewer. "They will take a few days to a week to fully relax and puff up from shipping, so give it time; after that, they will break in nicely. Not too hard or too soft, just right for my preference and style of sleeping - mainly stomach and side sleeper but firm enough for viewing the TV or reading."
