Bedding & Bath · Side-Sleeper Pillows

What loft (height) is best for a side sleeper?

Reviewer consensus

Most reviewers we read converge on a medium-to-high loft (roughly 5–6 inches) to fill the gap between the ear and the outside of the shoulder. Adjustable shredded-fill pillows like the Coop Crescent are popular precisely because side sleepers with broader shoulders can add fill, while smaller-framed sleepers can remove it.
