The best pillow for side and back sleeping

Bought this pillow for my husband, he loves it. He is back sleeping and has been the best pillow so far. Worth the money. With buy one for me and my daughter. It’s a little pricey but when it comes to sleeping it’s worth the money.highly recommend

Best pillow ever
Style: Standard – Low
I have to say, after decades of buying all sorts of pillows, trying to work for me and my short neck, this is THE one. I bought the low profile ones and OMG it is just perfect for me. I'm finally getting a good nights sleep without fighting a pillow that is too firm or doubling a pillow that is too soft and thin. It's also not as heavy as other memory foam pillows I've tried. I hate a heavy pillow. Yet, it isn't so light weight that it gets pushed off the bed easily if you change positions a lot during the night.

Side sleeping pillow
Style: Standard - Medium
Great pillow for specific people. If you want a firm yet soft pillow for side sleeping then it works great. Not as good for back sleepers but it's very comforting and cooling.

Great therapeutic pillow
Style: King - Low
I have been having pinch nerve issues where my fingers fall asleep with the pillow I had, so I started to search for pillows that would alleviate that and stay within a budget. Although this pillow cost more than I wanted to spend, the only other pillow that I was considering cost $100 more than this Purple pillow, so I purchased this pillow. The neck pains and pinch nerve issues are mostly gone. It is comfortable, maintains its shape and keeps you cool. I hope this pillow lasts a few years.

This Pillow Is The Greatest!
Style: Standard - Tall
This pillow is amazing! It’s very pricey, but worth EVERY penny in both my opinion and my husband’s. My husband had been complaining about his old pillow for a while. I did some research and this pillow seemed to be the best of the best according to the reviews. But that price - yikes! I kept checking back and saw it was on sale and decided to take a chance. Bought it in the tall size (7.5 in.) and decided it would be his early birthday gift. The first night of him using it was AMAZING for both of us. He has snored like a freight train and will periodically stop breathing for 15-18 seconds throughout the night for the past 26 years that I know of. Immediately, his super loud snoring downgraded to a very low level of snoring. He said after the first night he fell asleep fast, did not wake up nearly as much and finally had no neck pain in the morning. He’s had it over a month now and says he can’t believe a pillow could make this big of a difference in his sleep quality. I can’t believe I don’t have to deal with his concert level snoring anymore. Plus, he no longer stops breathing for short intervals anymore! This pillow has been well worth the cost for us!
