Key takeaways
- Loft (pillow height) is the first thing to get right. Side sleepers usually need more loft than back sleepers, and stomach sleepers usually need the least.
- A pillow sold in one fixed height fits some people and not others. An adjustable pillow lets you change the loft at home.
- The Yourzzz pillow costs $89, ships free and comes with a 100-night trial.
What should you look for in a bed pillow?
Start with how you sleep. On your side, the pillow fills the space between your ear and the mattress, and your shoulder takes up part of that space. On your back, you need less height. On your stomach, a thin pillow keeps your neck from bending back. A soft mattress lets your shoulder sink, which usually calls for a lower pillow. A firm mattress usually calls for a higher one.
For more detail, read how to choose a pillow and our page on pillow height.
What can a pillow not do?
Research does not show that one pillow type is right for everyone. A pillow that fits supports your head and neck, but it will not fix every sleep problem. If you wake up with pain that lasts, or you have numbness or tingling in your arms, see a healthcare provider. Our sleep guide covers other habits that affect how you sleep.
How is the Yourzzz pillow adjusted?
The pillow is filled with premium memory foam flakes and polyester fibers. Removing filling makes it lower and softer. The inner cover has a memory foam sheet with one firmer side and one softer side. The removable outer cover is a Tencel and polyester blend. You can machine wash it at 104°F (40°C). The pillow measures about 25 x 17 in and fits a standard US pillowcase (20 x 26 in). Read more about adjustable loft pillows.
- Order the pillow. It arrives filled, ready to adjust.
- Answer four questions. Once it has arrived, enter your height, weight, sleeping position and mattress firmness in the calculator.
- Take out the filling. Use a kitchen scale. The calculator also shows the final weight of the pillow.
- Keep the rest. Store the extra filling in the storage bag, so you can adjust again later.
