10 Best Primaloft Pillows
for December 2023

The Primaloft pillows from Hotel Collection are soft, comfortable, and pack down small, making them great options for travelers or anyone who needs a compact pillow. The Primaloft 450-Thread Count Firm Density King Pillow was our top pick among pillows with 450 or more thread count, in part because it was the softest and most comfortable on our test, and in part because it packs down small and weighs less than our top pick, the 400-Thread Count Memory Foam Pillow. The Primaloft pillow has a soft, brushed fabric cover that feels more luxurious than basic fabric pillows, and the soft fill makes the pillow more comfortable than some firmer pillows. It packs down small, but the pillow still feels thick, so it wasn't quite as comfortable as our other picks, which packed down smaller and felt thinner. The Primaloft pillow has a flap at the bottom that helps keep the filling in place, and the foot end of the pillow has a channel that runs along it, so you can cut the pillow to size. The pillow is machine washable, but like all Primaloft pillows, it has a tendency to clump.

The Tempur-Pedic Symphony Pillow has the best balance of comfort and support of any pillow we tested. It's comfortable enough on any type of sleep position, and the soft, durable foam molds to your head, neck, and shoulders while relieving pressure. It's also more customizable than the Layla, and unlike its predecessor, the Tempur-Cloud, it's designed to work with all types of sleep positions. The pillow's removable cover is breathable and blends well with most bedroom decor. The pillow's core is covered with a denser layer of memory foam, which Tempur-Pedic says provides more support, but we found that the extra density actually makes the pillow less comfortable on stomach and side sleepers.

The Pillows for Sleeping are one of the best pillows we've tried. The 2-pack comes with two pillows, each with their own cover, filling, and style: one with blue piping, the other with silver piping. The pillows have a solid construction, with 2.5D sides and 7D sides, and are thick enough that your head won't sink into them. The filling is firm yet also soft, and the pillows provide excellent support for side and back sleepers. The pillows have a medium degree of firmness, so they're comfortable for side sleepers but might not be as soft as pillows for back sleepers. The pillows are also fairly lightweight, which makes it easy to move them around. They're great for casual use, but they're also good pillows for camping and traveling.

The pillow is very comfortable. It is very soft without being floppy, which makes it easy to sleep on. The build is light, so it's easy to carry. The fill is soft but dense, so it softens when pressure is applied to the pillow. The pillow feels similar to the pillow we had at a hotel, and it filled our mattress well. It's a little small, so if you're a side sleeper, you might prefer the larger versions. It's also a bit more expensive than the pillows we tested, but it's more comfortable and should last longer.

The Viewstar queen pillows for sleeping are your best bet if you have a particularly wide or tall bed. They're also the best pillows for side sleepers, thanks to their generous surface area and ample filling. The filling is made of 50% duck feathers and 50% polyester fiber, which gives them a soft, supple feel. The pillows have a removable cover, which is washable with tumble dry low. The pillows are stuffed with a generous amount of down feathers, which make them softer than down pillows. The pillows are also larger than many down pillows, which makes them perfect for tall or wide beds. The pillows are medium-firm, but they provide adequate support for back and side sleepers, thanks to the pillow's generous loft. The pillows are supportive, comfortable, and well made, and that makes them some of the best pillows for side and back sleepers we've tested.

These pillows are soft, comfortable, and breathable. The filling is fluffy and feels airy, and they don't clump up or clump down. The pillows stay fluffy after washing, too, which is a nice bonus. The pillows are also easy to care for: Simply fluff them up, leave the pillows for 48 hours, then throw them in the washing machine. The pillows also don't smell weird when they come out of the dryer, which some down pillows do. The pillows are also long enough, which is important for side sleepers. These pillows offer a 5-star hotel experience at home, and are a great choice for side sleepers.

The HAOK Standard Pillows are well-made pillows that perform about as well as you would expect from a pillow that's this inexpensive. The 300TC cotton shell is very soft and the pillow cover is thick and fleecy. The pillow feels well-made and will probably hold up for years. The pillows are also fairly comfortable, thanks to the down alternative fill, though these pillows aren't as comfortable as the pillows in our former top pick, the Ergopillow. The HAOK Standard Pillows are worth a shot if you're looking for an affordable pillow that performs well and is easy to clean.

The XCP Sleep Bed Pillows 2 Pack are our favorite pillows for side sleepers. They're dense enough to support your head, but not so dense that they cause you to toss and turn during the night. They also support your neck, so they're great if you tend to sleep with your head turned to one side. Our only quibble with the pillows is that the filling is just a little too hard for the side sleeper who prefers a softer pillow. The pillows are also a bit too firm for most back sleepers. The filling is thick enough to support your head, but soft enough so that you don't sink in too much. The microfiber filling is machine washable, and there's very little odor when you unpack it. The XCP Sleep Bed Pillows 2 Pack are the best pillows for side sleepers, but for back sleepers we recommend something softer, such as the Casper pillow or the Dormeo Cloud Pillow.
