We Tested 5 of the Best Pillows Online
A good night's sleep is essential for your physical and mental health. But finding the perfect pillow can be a challenge. There are so many different types and materials to choose from, and it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Especially when there are so many to choose from ! We’ll give you the rundown on these selection of pillows and give you our best pick.
- 1. Tuft & Needle Original Pillow
Tuff & Needle - $100 - tuffandneedle.com
I decided to give this pillow a try as I was window shopping and saw their flagship store. I decided to go and look around and saw this pillow. Naturally I felt the pillow and it gave me the idea for this post. I pulled out my phone and read the reviews online and I was now on the pursuit to find the best pillow to sleep on.
”This pillow is made with a CertiPUR-US certified foam that is both supportive and comfortable. It's also hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant, making it a good choice for people with allergies.” - via tuftandneedle.com
As for Comfort, I couldn’t find a way to have it cradling my neck. I loved how it cool it felt throughout the night but I wish the design was more catered towards side sleepers. (A little bias here but I feel as if we all go sideways in our sleep at one point.)
Pros: Allergen Free & Feels Cool
Cons: Not so great for side-sleeping.

2- Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows
Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows - $61 - Beckham Hotel Collection
Seeing the words “Hotel Collection Pillows” really gave me the idea of an amazing 5-Star Hotel Pillow that never makes you want to leave that vacation bed.
Although upon laying on them, these kind of gave me another impression.

I have to be honest here, these pillows felt as if you took an ordinary pillow and put a slightly better material in them. Fluffy ? Yes. Cost Effective and will get the job done? Sorta.
If I’m investing in something I’m going to sleep on every night, I’d want something with an even more premium build quality. For the cost of $61, I’d put a little more in the pillow budget and get something a little more worth it.
Pros: Fluffy for cuddling. A bit more cost effective.
Cons: Not as premium feeling as the other options.

3 - Cush Pillow
Cush Pillow - $ 49.99- cushpillow.com
I saw this pillow as I was scrolling through my Facebook and decided to give it a try.
”Our cutting-edge design and advanced memory foam technology work in perfect harmony to cradle your head and neck” - via cushpillow.com
I was skeptical at first, but the Cush Pillow exceeded my expectations. As I mentioned earlier in this post, I typically sleep on my side at night. This pillow has the most comfortable and contoured neck support I have ever used. The fabric also helps keep the pillow cool throughout the night. It’s also in a sweet spot with how firm the memory foam feels.
Pros: Neck & Arm Support. Stays cool throughout the night.
Cons: Not Fluffy if that’s what you’re looking for.

4 - Purple Harmony Pillow
Purple Harmony Pillow (King Size, Medium Height) -$239.00 - purple.com
I was hesitant to make the purchase of the Purple Harmony Pillow at first, considering the price tag. But I was on the hunt for the best rated pillows, and this one had amazing reviews. I went with the king size ($239) because I figured if I was going to spend $200+ on a pillow, I might as well get the full experience and skip out on the standard size. It's made with a unique honeycomb latex that takes some adjustment to get used to, but I could easily see it not being for everyone.

However, I do want to reiterate that the honeycomb latex may take some adjustment to get used to. It's a very different feel from traditional pillows. If you're looking for a firm pillow, this is not the one for you. But if you're looking for a soft and squishy pillow that provides excellent support, the Purple Harmony Pillow is a great option.
Pros: The honeycomb latex is unique and provides a unique sleeping experience.
Cons: Expensive. My neck just sinks in rather than being supported in place.

5 - Tempur-Pedic Cloud Pillow
TEMPUR-Cloud® Pillow - $89 - tempurpedic.com
Tempur-Pedic is a well-known brand in the mattress and pillow industry. They are known for their high-quality products and their innovative memory foam technology. I was excited to try the Tempur-Pedic Cloud Pillow because I had heard so many good things about it.
“Our most popular pillow! The TEMPUR-Cloud® is cushion-soft comfort in a traditional shape, with the adaptive support of TEMPUR® material.” - via tempurpedic.com
I found the Tempur-Pedic Cloud Pillow to be comfortable, but not as comfortable as I had hoped. The memory foam is soft and supportive, but it also feels a bit too soft for my liking. I found that it took some time to get used to the feel of the pillow.
I did find it great that it’s easy for traveling as it rolls and compresses without damaging it’s shape while making room in your luggage.
Pros: Easily compressed for on-the-go.
Cons: Texture of the pillow. Not firm enough.
Rating: 3.7/5
In Conclusion
After trying out all five of these pillows, I have to say that the Cush Pillow is my overall favorite. It is the most comfortable pillow on the list, and it has the best pricing.
I based my decision on a few factors:
How easily I fell asleep at night: I fell asleep the fastest on this pillow. It was so comfortable that I didn't have to toss and turn to find the right position.
How comfortable it is: Incredibly comfortable. The memory foam is soft and supportive, and it conforms to the shape of my head and neck perfectly.
The price: Affordable, especially when you compare it to some of the other pillows on this list.
How I felt after a night's sleep: I woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested after sleeping. I felt like I had gotten a good night's sleep.
Overall, I am very impressed with the Cush Pillow. It is the best pillow I have ever used, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable pillow.
I'm actually genuinely considering ordering another Cush Pillow to have around my home. It's the perfect pillow for both sleeping and relaxing while on my couch. I'm so happy I found it!
