Bedding & Bath · Side-Sleeper Pillows

What loft (height) is best for side sleepers?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, side sleepers generally need a higher, firmer loft than back or stomach sleepers to fill the gap between the shoulder and ear and keep the spine neutral. That is why adjustable pillows with zip-out shredded fill score so well here: reviewers repeatedly note they can dial in height to match their shoulder width and mattress firmness.
