10 best pillows to shop in Australia for a sound night's sleep

In need of a better night’s sleep? The key could be your pillows. Pillows come in many shapes and sizes: soft, firm, memory foam, anti-snore, and even boomerang. With endless options, it can be hard to tell if you’re sleeping on the right one for you.

A good pillow can fix your whole night routine resulting in a better mood and improved health. So don't spend another restless night searching for the perfect pillow, this simple guide will find it for you.

Our top picks of best pillows to shop

No matter the kind of sleeper you are, this gel-infused memory foam pillow should be your go-to. It offers a soft and firm side, so the back-sleepers and anyone with pain can use the firmer side while those that prefer something with bounce, can simply flip the pillow over and sink a little lower into the soft side. Just like the brand's popular mattress-in-a-box, this contour pillow keeps heat and moisture at bay and is naturally smooth to the touch. No surprises it was awarded the 2021 Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers for pillows.

2. The Eva pillow, $120 (usually $150), Eva

Plus, with a 120-night trial period, you can once and for all decide if the Eva pillow is for you with no strings attached.

For the side-sleepers, this polyester pillow offers side gussets for extra support and to maintain the shape of the pillow. Though it's made to last, don't forget to give it a regular clean. Luckily, this comfy pillow is machine washable. 

How to find the right height pillow for you?

Getting the right pillow comes down to height and filling. Since we are all different sleepers, the perfect pillow depends on the person. The general rule goes by height. Anyone with a small frame suits a low-profile pillow and the same goes to medium and tall. 

However, it's a little more complicated than choosing by your own height, as the kind of sleeper you are matters just as much. Low-profile pillows suit tummy sleepers, medium-profile pillows suit back sleepers, and high-profile pillows are best for side sleepers. 

When it comes to head and neck support, medium to high profile pillows is the best choice. Find a pillow that sits in the crevice between your head and shoulder without altering your head's height.

What pillow filling is best?

The most popular pick for filling is polyester. While this can be a good choice as they are typically soft and supportive, it depends on the quality of the product as a bad one will be lumpy. 
For something more long-lasting and supportive, memory foam is your best bet. They contour to your head providing great support and comfort and can be picked up for a moderate price. Feather pillows are also popular and are light-weight, comfortable, and cuddly. However, they're non-adjustable and typically expensive. 

For more luxe pillows, latex and wool are your go-tos. Natural latex is breathable and low-allergenic with a bit of bounce back, while wool is soft and a great choice for anyone who prefers natural fibres.
