Side Sleeper

Quick answer: Best pillow for side sleepers

Side sleepers need a firm, high-loft pillow that fills the gap between the head and shoulder, keeping the neck and spine aligned. Our Firm White Goose Down Pillow delivers the height and support side sleepers need; if you prefer to fine-tune the loft, the Adjustable Organic Wool Pillow lets you add or remove fill.

When you sleep on your side, your shoulder creates a wide gap between your head and the mattress. A firm, high-loft pillow fills that gap so your head stays level with your spine instead of dropping toward the bed, which helps reduce neck and shoulder strain. Down Under pillows are designed and made in Canada. Free shipping over $100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do side sleepers need a firm, high pillow?
Sleeping on your side leaves a gap between your head and shoulder. A firm, high-loft pillow fills that space and keeps your head level with your spine, reducing neck and shoulder strain.

What loft should a side sleeper choose?
Side sleepers generally need the highest loft of any sleep position to support the width of the shoulder. A firm pillow that holds its height through the night, like our Firm Goose Down Pillow, is the best starting point.

Can I adjust the firmness or loft?
Yes. The Adjustable Organic Wool Pillow lets you add or remove fill so you can dial in the exact height and firmness that keeps your neck aligned.
