If you’re looking for the best pillow for back sleepers, this is your go-to. Its lightweight, breathable fabric helps regulate temperature, while its soft, malleable design also makes it a good option for those who like to mould their pillow to their desired shape while on their front.

Wondering about the ethics of using a down pillow? All our feather and down products are sourced through the Duntrack® Traceability Standard, which ensures that down and feathers are sourced from suppliers that adhere to high standards of animal welfare and that responsible processes are adhered to throughout the supply chain.

2. The Big Softie Pillow - Microfibre

For those on the hunt for the best pillow for side sleepers, the  Big Softie Pillow  is perfect. Made from soft, hypoallergenic microfibre, it offers a squishy, sink-in feel that provides more support than down or feathers while still remaining lightweight and springy. 

Ideal for side sleepers and those who want a hypoallergenic alternative to down, it’s also easy to care for and machine washable, making it a versatile and practical option for everyday comfort.

3. Divine Duck Pillow - 100% European Duck Down

If you crave softness and luxury, the Divine Duck Pillow filled with 100% European duck down is an ideal choice. This pillow allows you to enjoy all the benefits of our Goose Down pillow but at a lower cost. As with all our feather and down products, the down is sourced via the Duntrack® Traceability Standard.

Our Divine Duck Pillow is best suited to stomach snoozers thanks to its lightweight, mouldable filling that won’t strain your neck throughout the night. The delicate support it provides is perfect for those who need a pillow that’s soft but still keeps you comfortable all night long.

4. Gorgeous Goose Pillow - European Goose Down

If you're a front sleeper, finding the best pillow for front sleepers can be a challenge, but the  Gorgeous Goose Pillow  has you covered. This European goose down pillow is luxuriously soft and offers just enough support without being too lofty. Its gentle softness is perfect for stomach sleepers who need a pillow that won’t put any strain on the neck. Plus, it’s incredibly breathable, ensuring a cool and comfortable night’s sleep. 

Like our other feather and down products, the down is sourced via the Duntrack® Traceability Standard.

5. Good as Goose Pillow - Hollowfibre

Searching for a firmer pillow for added support?  The Good as Goose Pillow,  filled with hollowfibre, provides the soft comfort of down but with added neck support. It’s an excellent choice for anyone needing extra care for their neck while still craving that fluffy, lightweight feel. It works well for side and back sleepers, offering support where it’s needed most while remaining gentle and not overly lofty.

6. Our Bespoke Bottle Bedding Pillow

The bottle pillow is surprisingly soft and supportive. It works wonders for side sleepers who want something with structure for a well supported snooze.

It’s also perfect for front and back sleepers due to its subtle loftiness. The recycled down offers a delicate balance of support and comfort, ensuring you wake up refreshed and well-rested.

How to Choose the Right Pillow for Your Sleep Style

Choosing the right pillow is crucial for getting a good night’s sleep, and your sleep style plays a big role in finding the perfect match.

 Best Pillow for a Side Sleeper → The best pillow for side sleepers should offer firm support to keep your neck aligned. Look for pillows like the Baa Baa Bedtime Finest Wool Pillow or Big Softie Pillow, which provide the structure needed for optimal neck support.

 Best Pillow for a Front Sleeper → The best pillow for stomach sleepers is soft and low-profile, ensuring your neck isn’t strained. Options like the Gorgeous Goose Pillow and Divine Duck Pillow are perfect for front sleepers who need softness without bulk.

 Best Pillow for a Back Sleeper → The best pillow for back sleepers is one that supports the natural curve of your neck. Medium-firm pillows like the Grand Goose Pillow or Second Timer Down Pillow offer the right blend of support and comfort to help you wake up feeling refreshed.

 Best Pillow for Neck Support → If you suffer from neck pain, look for the best pillow for a bad neck, like the Good as Goose Pillow or Big Softie Walled Pillow. These provide enhanced support to keep your neck and spine properly aligned, reducing strain and discomfort.
