If you're among the 50% of Brits who sleep on their side, finding one of the best pillows for side sleepers could be the key to ending the endless cycle of turning, folding, and fluffing your pillow —and finally getting the restful sleep you deserve. Fortunately, the current market is booming with specially-designed pillows tailored to side sleepers, thanks to innovative sleep tech brands such as Emma and Simba.
Side sleeping is renowned for its numerous health benefits, including promoting proper spinal alignment, improving breathing, reducing heartburn, and alleviating discomfort in the neck and back. If you're struggling to achieve the right balance of comfort and support, investing in a pillow designed specifically for side sleepers — tailored to your preferred firmness, material, and body size — can make a significant difference.
But not all pillows are created equal. The secret to finding a high-quality pillow for side sleepers lies in the details: firmness, filling, outer fabric, and overall finish. If you’re after something soft, light, and breathable for the warmer months, a cooling pillow with a cotton percale cover is a great choice. Prefer more support? A specialist support pillow with medium-firm comfort delivers durability and targeted relief, especially ideal for those with neck pain. For an eco-conscious option, all-natural fill and organic pillows provide sustainable comfort that feels just as good as it looks.
We’ve tested and reviewed numerous specialist options, and consulted with sleep experts to answer all your side sleeping pillow FAQs, so that you can choose the best pillow for you.

Specifications:
- Best for - Those after a cruelty-free pillow which suits side sleepers of all ages (children included).
- Made from - Outer microfibre cover is made from 100% polyester with a soft touch finish. Filling is made from siliconised hollow fibre 100% polyester.
- Size - 70 x 50 cm.
- Firmness - Soft.
- Tested by - Emily Whitwam, Associate Social Media Manager.
The Emma Premium Cloud Pillow is a fluffy down-alternative cushion with an adjustable height and firmness. Suitable for all sleeping positions – though especially great for side sleepers – it has a smooth, silky feel.
Despite being a soft pillow, the microfibre filling offers the right amount of ‘bounce’ while still feeling supportive. I often get too hot whilst sleeping and this pillow gave me some relief from that. It is also adjustable (which I had no idea was a thing), so if it’s too soft/firm for you, just unzip, remove or add a layer, and you instantly have yourself something more suited – genius!
It's filled with Emma's AeroSoft filling which, the brand describes as fluffy and breathable. This filling is made from siliconised micro elastic fibre – so essentially 100% polyester – which ensures it doesn't feel wiry or clumpy to sleep on. Inside, you'll find two inserts that can be added or removed, allowing you to customise the height and firmness to your liking.
If you have allergies, it's a great down-alternative anti-allergy pillow to consider. Its removable cover is machine washable at 40°C, which is the perfect temperature to kill off dust mites. It also comes with a 30-night trial, so if it doesn't live up to your expectations, you can try it out before you commit.
OUR RATING: 10/10Pros & ConsPros- There's seven ways to customise the pillow by flipping it or taking out layers to change its firmness and height.
- Outlast thermal layer for a cool-to-the-touch sensation.
- Machine-washable cover for easy care.
Cons- Nothing to note.
Specifications:
- Best for - Side and front sleepers.
- Made from - Simba Renew Bio™ down-like clusters of breathable filler with a ‘Better’ cotton cover with Stratos® heat control technology to prevent overheating.
- Size - 50cm x 75cm.
- Firmness - The brand describes it as ‘soft and down-like’.
- Tested by - Mayola Fernandes, Commerce Writer.
One of the most sought-after offerings from Simba, this Stratos® pillow is filled with a recycled/biodegradable filler unlike its hybrid shredded foam model. As such, it's softer and more of a competitor for the best down pillows and it's actually been so popular off the mark that it's almost always sold out. That said, it's available right now so we wouldn't wait around knowing just how often we spot this product out of stock.
The Stratos pillow's fibre fill provides a soft, downy feel, offering cushioning and support without sinking too deeply. As for the cover, it's made from responsibly-sourced cotton, and on one side is Simba's temperature-regulating Stratos technology that keeps me cool at all times – a real bonus seeing as I run hot at night regardless of the time of year.
The cover is non-removable so using a pillowcase is key to adding an extra layer of protection, ensuring the pillow remains shielded from wear and tear. Fortunately, though, the entire pillow is designed to withstand machine washing and tumble drying, allowing you to maintain its condition with each wash.

OUR RATING: 9/10Pros & ConsPros- Brand offers 100% carbon-neutral free delivery.
- Pillow is easy to machine wash and tumble dry at home.
- Comes with a free, reusable storage bag.
Cons- It's often out stock due to popular demand so it's hard to get your hands on this pillow year-round!
REM-Fit 400 Memory Foam Crumbed Pillow
Specifications:
- Best for - Correcting spine alignment and providing supportive pressure relief.
- Made from - Filling - memory foam, outer cover - polyester, inner cover - polyester, cotton.
- Size - 50 x 40 x 12cm.
- Firmness - Medium-firm.
- Tested by - Mayola Fernandes, Commerce Writer.
Cleverly designed to regulate body temperature, REM-Fit's memory foam pillow is made with cooling Re-ax® fibres, so you can forget overheating and icky night-time sweats. It works by absorbing body heat and redistributing it away from the pillow, ensuring you remain at optimal temperature as you sleep.
The pillows are designed to work with all types of mattresses, from memory foam to pocket sprung, providing support for the head, neck, and shoulders. Add to that the pillows ability to aid correct spinal alignment and pressure-relieving properties and you have perfectly cool comfort all-round, guaranteeing a good night's sleep.
I’d rate this pillow as medium-firm — it has just the right amount of give, but it’s firm enough to keep my head supported throughout the night. After using it every night for the past six months, it’s held its shape really well. I like that there’s an option to buy two as a pair for a slightly lower cost, especially since many other brands we've tested don’t provide that choice.
The only downside I’ve noticed is that it’s slightly larger than a standard pillow, so you might need to invest a bigger pillowcase to fit it comfortably.
OUR RATING: 10/10Pros & ConsPros- Pulls sweat away from the body, perfect for any sleeping style.
- Offers exceptional pressure relief.
- 5-year guarantee.
Cons- None here!
Pair Of Duck Feather & Down Pillows
Specifications:
- Best for - Buyers with a more modest budget.
- Made from - 90% duck feather, 10% duck down in a cotton percale casing.
- Size - Standard - 50cm x 75cm or super king - 50cm x 90cm.
- Firmness - Your choice of soft, medium or firm.
- Tested by - Sophie Cockett, Senior European Commerce Editor.
I love a firm pillow, for extra support of my neck when I'm sleeping on my side (which I pretty much always do). These pillows from DUSK have been a dream. I ordered a pair which arrived vacuum-packed – though they quickly retained their cloud-like shape within minutes of me opening them.
If you crave that ‘sinking’ head-on-pillow feeling every time you get into bed, then this DUSK pillow for side sleepers not only comes as a pair but is available in soft, medium and firm support levels to cater to your individual sleeping preferences.
Filled with 90% duck feather and 10% duck down, each pillow is encased in 100% cotton percale for a luxuriously soft feel. Available in standard or super king sizes, catering to both typical and larger bed frames, these pillows are also among the most budget-friendly options in our edit.
My previous pillow had been a little softer, so I woke up with a slightly sore neck after nights one and two, but as I got used to my new buys, the problem quickly passed. I'm such a fan and plan on sleeping on them for the foreseeable.
OUR RATING: 8/10Pros & ConsPros- Budget-friendly.
- Comes in various sizes and firmness levels.
Cons- Not machine washable.
- Brand suggests shaking daily for fullness.
Specifications:
- Best for - Those after a cruelty-free pillow which suits side sleepers of all ages (children included).

- Size - 70 x 50cm.

If you're struggling with where to start, this super-comfy pillow for side sleepers is a great all-rounder. I always sleep on my side and I found the Emma Original Foam to be the perfect marriage between sink-in comfort and ample support. It's aimed to be comfortable for both children and adults, is adjustable and is often reduced in price.
It comes neatly rolled in a small box, and upon removing the packaging, explodes into the fluffiest and most luxurious pillow. It's made of three interchangeable foam layers, two of which are removable. Why? It ensures the pillow suits not only side sleepers, but front sleepers and back sleepers, too. Since we were reviewing for side sleepers specifically, we kept all the layers in the pillow as recommended.
The top is an airy and breathable cover made from 100% luxurious micro-elastic materials (the navy piping ensures it looks chic even without the addition of your silk pillowcase), while the second is a soft and supportive visco memory foam filling. Under this, is a layer of HRX Foam, the softest layer of them all. The pillow felt supportive, kept its shape, felt lightweight and the cover dried really quickly after washing.
OUR RATING: 7/10Pros & ConsPros- Helps sleep in the correct position, helps with back ache and feels really supportive.
Cons- None here. We were thoroughly impressed.
Specifications:
- Best for - Hot sleepers.
- Made from - Filling: Visco elastic polyurethane foam with gel powders. Cover: 40% Lyocell from Tencel, 60% polyester.
- Size - 64 x 40 x 12cm.
- Firmness - Firm.
- Tested by - Lian Brooks, Audience Development Manager.
REM-Fit's Cool Gel Pillow adapts to your movements, keeping you as comfortable as possible all night long. It features gel-infused memory foam to regulate heat and has Re-Ax® fibres that wick sweat away from the body, ensuring a cool and dry sleep environment. It's suitable for all sleeping styles, including side, back, and front sleepers, and works effectively with all types of mattresses, including my high-performing mattress for side sleepers, to support proper alignment while I sleep.
As a side sleeper through and through, I like a pillow that's firm yet soft and plush. After trying this pillow for three months, it definitely met my expectations. One pillow gave the ideal amount of head support, with the memory foam offered the perfect give without feeling like I was drowning in it.
I also found myself consciously noticing the cooling effect and found it easier to sleep, especially on warmer nights but now that it's winter it still feels comfortable to sleep on. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for one of the best cooling pillows to keep sweat-free regardless of the time of year.
OUR RATING: 7/10Pros & ConsPros- Temperature regulating.
- Supportive feel.
- Comes with a 5 year-guarantee.
Cons- None here!
BRIGHTR® LUNA Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow Bundle
Specifications:
- Best for - Buyers on the hunt for an adjustable pillow for all types of sleepers.
- Made from - Cover from 100% recycled polyester infused with 40% of Copper and 100% Graphene Shredded Memory foam.
- Size - 50 x 70cm.
- Firmness - Soft to medium-firm.
- Tested by - Mayola Fernandes, Commerce Writer.
From the Stella to the Eclipse pillow, we're big fans of Brightr pillows here at GLAMOUR and, apparently, so are you. You've been stocking up on the very best Brightr pillows over on our best pillows for neck pain round up, and we don't blame you. Cooling copper, temperature-regulating graphene memory foam – we're sold.
With its innovative 2-layer design, this pillow allows you to tailor the support to your ideal sleep position by easily adding or removing filling to suit your preference. Enhanced with Copperclean™ Technology, the fabric incorporates tiny copper particles aimed at actively inhibiting bacteria growth, fostering a healthier sleeping environment – ideal for individuals with allergies or sensitive skin.
Crafted most specifically to alleviate neck and upper back pain, reduce stiffness, and mitigate tension headaches, it features a two-layer adjustable design ensuring optimal neck support for any sleep position. Plus, if you're a side sleeper with a preference for firm support, simply opt for three inner layers rather than one or two.
OUR RATING: 7/10Pros & ConsPros- Neck pain relief.
- adjustable support.
Cons- I noticed the design is slightly visible through my pillowcase.
Specifications:
- Best for - Buyers with allergies, much like a latex pillow.
- Made from - Bamboo memory foam in a soft bamboo mesh cover - all materials conform to Oeko-Tex standards.
- Size - 60cm x 40cm.
- Firmness - Soft.
- Tested by - Neamh Randall, Commerce Picture Editor.
If you want to rest easy knowing you’ve done your bit for the planet, this pillow for side sleepers from Panda is a great eco-friendly choice, with the brand sourcing all bamboo materials from approved forests. Its supportive ‘third generation’ memory foam material is designed to stay supportive for ten years, after which it can be recycled as part of their ‘Panda Circle Of Life Programme’.
It is protected by a soft, breathable and ethically-sourced bamboo case that is naturally antibacterial – protecting the pillow against dust and dirt so it lasts. I personally used to hate memory foam as I never thought it was supportive enough for me but this pillow has changed my mind. Alongside my pregnancy pillow, it has provided ergonomic support that has helped tackle the common aches and pains I've experienced throughout my pregnancy.
Previous memory-foam buyers will be familiar with the texture's signature smell, something that can be off putting and is, unfortunately present in the Panda pillow, though I can confirm it disappears completely after 48 hours.
There’s a 30-day trial period included, which is ideal if you’re not used to the feel of memory foam and need time to decide if it suits your sleeping style. At under £50, I think it's great value for a high-quality memory foam pillow.
OUR RATING: 9/10Pros & ConsPros- Hypoallergenic, eco-friendly and supportive.
- Includes a 30-night sleep trial.
Cons- 12cm loft pillow height is perhaps a little bit better for women/smaller buyers.
Deluxe Down Alternative Side Support Pillow
- Best for - Side sleepers looking for a luxurious down-like alternative.
- Made from - Fill: 100% recycled-polyester Smartdown, Casing: 100% 280-thread count cotton percale
- Firmness - Medium or soft support.
- Size - Standard, Super king.
- Tested by – Mayola Fernandes, Commerce Writer.
This down alternative pillow is designed specifically for side sleepers, featuring a clever boxed construction that offers optimal head and neck support. It includes a smartdown centre encased in 280-thread count cotton percale, providing the cushiony comfort necessary for a restful sleep.
The smartdown clusters are distributed within the casing for a balanced, down-like feel similar to a natural pillow. Available in medium or soft support firmness, you can choose the one that best fits your needs. Plus, unlike some other pillows in this selection, this one comes in both standard and king sizes!
I found the firm option to be much firmer than I expected, which didn’t work well for me since I’m not a fan of hard pillows. The soft pillow, however, struck the perfect balance of comfort and support, making it ideal for side sleeping.
OUR RATING: 8/10Pros & ConsPros- Machine washable.
- Medium or soft support options.
- Available in standard or king sizes.
Cons- Pillow returns are not available unless packaging is intact.
- No sleep trial available.
Specifications:
- Best for - Neck pain.
- Made from - 100% recyclable shredded microfibre memory foam with a 100% cotton and CLOUDpad™ removable lining.
- Size - Standard pillow - 48cm x 74cm or king size - 48cm x 89cm.
- Firmness - Adjustable.
- Tested by - Ali Pantony, Website Director.
I'm very particular when it comes to my pillows; I can't stand anything too firm (people who enjoy hard pillows terrify me) or too soft and unsupportive. So I recently opted for the Kuddly Dream Pillow which is adjustable (no, I didn't know that was a thing either).
Each pillow is stuffed with shredded hypoallergenic microfibre memory foam – this stuff literally feels like touching clouds – and you adjust the amount depending on how soft or firm you want the pillow (it comes with a storage bag for excess filling).
Crafted from OEKO-TEX certified materials, it's enclosed in a incredibly smooth cotton cover and feels super comfortable whether I'm sleeping on my back or side, so I'd highly recommend if you're a picky pillow person like me.
OUR RATING: 6/10Pros & ConsPros- There’s a 30-day money back guarantee if you haven't found a suitable level of firmness that suits you.
- Comes with a washable pillow cover.
Cons- Stock levels are usually low for this pillow.
- The pillow itself isn't washable.
Specifications:
- Best for - Back sleepers and side sleepers.
- Made from - Cotton, GRS certified polyester, Patented titanium Aerocoil® spring layer and Simba Pure foam (Polyurethane).
- Size - 45cm x 70cm x 50cm.
- Firmness - Your choice with adjustable inner pillows to suit your sleeping position/required support depending on any pressure points etc.
- Tested by - Denise Primbet, Commerce Writer.
Simba's hybrid pillow caters perfectly to couples with varying sleep preferences, allowing them to customise both height and firmness according to their individual sleeping style. Simply unzip the casing and remove "open-cell" foam "nanocubes" to customise the pillow's support level to your preference.
Engineered with temperature control and a breathable structure, the pillow uses Stratos technology on one side of the cover to create a fabric that is cool to the touch but also wicks away excess heat, keeping you cool and dry at the same time.
Having already switched to a firmer mattress to help with my back pain, I was longing for a firm pillow to help alleviate my neck pain – and long story short, I genuinely have no idea how I've gone so long without one.
Since switching to this pillow, my neck pain has eased, which is something I've struggled with for years. As a side and occasional back sleeper, I needed something that keeps my neck aligned without being too firm or too soft. This pillow contours well, holds its shape through the night, and doesn't leave me waking up stiff like so many others have.
While the price is steep, Simba's B Corp registration assures both comfort and sustainability, making it a worthwhile investment in my opinion.

Crafted from shredded cooling memory foam, Ayela's medium-firm support pillow is 100% adjustable as you can top up or remove the filling at home to adjust its plumpness. It's ideal for those who tend to run hot at night thanks to the cooling, gel-infused memory foam filling that moulds to your head and neck as you sleep.
The innovative shredded memory foam helps alleviate pressure points, promoting healthy joint alignment for effective relief from neck pain, headaches, and shoulder discomfort, as it supports proper spine alignment according to the brand.
I’ve been using this pillow since summer, and now that we’re deep into the colder months, I’m thrilled to report it’s still in excellent condition and performs just as well as when I first got it. I love how customisable it is to my needs — I’ve adjusted the filling to find the perfect fit for me, which has made a huge difference. Paired with Aeyla’s weighted blanket, it's the ultimate ticket to improved sleep.
OUR RATING: 7/10Pros & ConsPros- A top pick for customisation, you can customise the height of this pillow by removing any excess filling.
- Comes in a set of one. two or four pillows.
Cons- If you decide to remove any foam, you will need to find somewhere to store the filling.
Specifications:
- Best for - Optimal firm support.
- Made from - 98% polyester and 2% elastane.
- Size - 70 x 40cm.
- Firmness - Firm.
- Tested by - Fiona Embleton, Associate Beauty Director.
The Emma Original Pillow is designed to cater to the needs of every type of sleeper. It cradles your face with its gel memory foam layer, while providing essential support for your neck as you gently ‘sink in’. Enhanced airflow through its open cell foam promotes uninterrupted rest, complemented by a moisture-resistant cover that's conveniently machine washable.
Its versatility shines through, offering the option to customise with ease – whether it's flipping to reveal the Airgocell layer for enhanced breathability or adjusting thickness and softness by removing layers. For side sleepers, it's recommended that you keep all three layers intact for maximum support.
I personally love the adjustable height feature, which is perfect for all sleeping positions — especially since I tend to toss and turn at night. The machine-washable cover made it super easy to keep clean, though I still use a pillowcase over it for extra protection. That said, you don’t really need to; it’s great on its own!
OUR RATING: 7/10Pros & ConsPros- Uses open-cell foam for better airflow, preventing overheating and improving sleep comfort.
Cons- Nothing of note!
Silentnight Side Sleeper Medium Pillow
Specifications:
- Best for - Busy buyers who don't have time to drop pillows off at a professional cleaner.
- Made from - 100% microfibre cover with a filling made from 100% hollowfibre polyester.
- Size - 69cm x 46cm.
- Firmness - Medium-firm.
- Tested by - Mayola Fernandes, Commerce Writer.
A surprisingly eco-friendly pick, with it being manufactured in the UK and free from animal products (unlike feather pillows), this Silentnight side sleeper pillow is both a top budget pick and a popular choice on the review front, too.
It has been specifically designed to provide comprehensive support for side sleepers, distributing weight evenly as you sleep. Its hollow fibre filling offers a comfy and supportive feel, while the soft touch microfibre cover is hypoallergenic and breathable. For added convenience, the entire pillow is machine washable and tumble dryer friendly, ensuring it stays in pristine condition for as long as possible.
I’ll admit, I was hesitant to replace my trusty soft down pillows with the Silentnight Side Sleeper Medium Pillow. But after giving it a try, I was pleasantly surprised. In the first few weeks, I found it surprisingly supportive, and my weight felt evenly distributed — it’s definitely a solid medium firmness. The only downside is that after about a month, the pillow did start to lose some of its plumpness. However, for £15, it’s a reliable budget-friendly option.

OUR RATING: 6/10Pros & ConsPros- Machine washable and suitable for tumble drying.
- Includes a two-year guarantee.
Cons- No breathability or cooling gel for hot sleepers.
- Loses some plumpness after a while.
Snuggledown Side Sleeper Pillow
Specifications:
- Best for - Side sleepers who prefer firm support.
- Made from - Cover 100% Cotton, Filling 100% Polyester.
- Size - 64cm x 38cm.
- Firmness - Fim.
- Tested by - Mayola Fernandes, Commerce Writer.
I was initially skeptical about testing a £20 pillow against a lineup of specialist options, but after subjecting this pillow to our at-home trails, I think it's well worth it's spot in this round up. If you're after a simple yet effective pillow that supports your head and neck —without any high-tech sleep features or customisation — this is a solid pick for side sleepers on a budget.
One downside? You might need a larger pillowcase, and the shape doesn’t stay quite as plump as when brand new — I noticed a slight flattening after about a month. But for £20, it’s hard to fault. Plus, it comes wrapped in a 230-thread-count cotton casing that feels luxuriously soft.
Pros & ConsPros- Good value for money.
- 230 thread count cotton cover.
- Machine washable.
Cons- Firm support level isn't ideal for some side sleepers.
Why might you need a different pillow if you’re a side sleeper?
“Your sleeping position dictates how thick your pillow needs to be – and the firmness level you need,” says Rosie Osmun, sleep science coach at sleep science platform Sleep Junkie. “Sleeping comfortably is all down to spine alignment.”
“Some can feel sore when their neck isn’t in a neutral position,” notes osteopath Anisha Joshi. “Being supported should ease any pain and help you to get a good night's sleep.”
Are soft or firm pillows better for side sleepers?
“Side sleepers require a firm pillow with a higher loft to keep their neck healthily in line with the rest of their body,” explains Rosie.
“Sleep specialists suggest the perfect loft for side sleeping is four to six inches.” Additionally, she notes that contoured pillows are often recommended for this sleeping position because they have two edges that allow you to pick which side fits your neck most comfortably, and memory foam tends to be a good material for support as well as keeping the neck aligned.
What to consider when buying a pillow for side sleeping:
A good test, suggests Anisha, is to zone in on how well a pillow keeps you in position once you’re lying down. “If you get a pillow that places you in a position that’s comfortable, then it will help your muscles relax,” she explains. “You should consider what positions cause your neck to feel any pain or discomfort when standing, and ensure that your pillow is working to counteract this.” Anything else? Rosie adds: “You can also place pillows between or beneath your knees to reinforce healthy spinal alignment.”
