While a mattress is key to achieving quality slumber, the right pillow makes a world of difference, too. It's an essential piece of the sleeping equation because it helps keep your spine in a neutral, comfortable position. Here are some factors you should consider when picking the perfect pillow for a good night's sleep.
Support
The primary purpose of your pillow is to put your body into a healthy sleeping posture. Regardless of your sleeping position, the right pillow should keep your spine in neutral alignment. If your spine isn't neutral when sleeping, it can lead to neck, shoulder, and back pain — discomfort that can ultimately disrupt your rest.
Look for a pillow that offers the right balance of loft (height), responsiveness, and pressure relief based on your body type and sleep style.
Sleep Position
Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper? Believe it or not, your sleeping posture is a great way to determine the type of pillow you need. Here are some pillow recommendations based on your sleeping position:
- Side sleepers — Look for a pillow with a high lift and firm support. This design will help keep your spine neutral. You may also want to put a pillow between your legs to maintain good posture.

- Back sleepers — A thinner pillow that relieves stress on your neck is most beneficial for back sleepers.
- Stomach sleepers — If you sleep on your stomach, you want to get the thinnest pillow possible. This keeps your spine straight and alleviates stress on your lower back.

Fill
Pillows are available in a variety of fill options, including memory foam, down, down alternative polyester, rayon, and latex. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages, so one isn't necessarily better than the next. When it comes to comfort, it's up to personal preference.
Memory foam offers contouring support, while down alternative fills provide a plush, airy feel. Adjustable hybrid designs — like the VersaCloud — combine supportive structure with customizable comfort.
Pillow fill, though, is an important consideration if you suffer from allergies. Certain fill options such as down and feathers can cause allergic reactions and discomfort. If you're concerned about this, consider hypoallergenic pillows. They resist common allergens such as dust mites, allowing you to breathe easier and sleep better.
For those who want to elevate their sleep environment even further, scent-infused pillows can enhance relaxation. The SleepScents Lavender Infused Pillow pairs cooling comfort with calming lavender notes to help you unwind at bedtime. Prefer something subtly tropical and soothing? The SleepScents Coconut Infused Pillow offers a light, refreshing scent designed to create a serene sleep atmosphere.
Size
Pillow sizes correspond to mattress sizes — standard, queen, and king. However, you're not required to get a queen pillow if you own a queen bed. An oversized pillow on a smaller bed can provide a cozy, encompassing feel. From a design perspective, you can mix and match sizes to give your bed a striking appeal. If you're unsure what to get, a standard pillow is always a safe bet and more than enough to satisfy your needs.

When it comes to comfort and support, it's hard to beat the luxury of SHEEX® Cooling Pillows. Choose between the Infinite Zen Performance Memory Foam Pillow, the versatile VersaCloud Adjustable Hybrid Pillow, the aromatherapy-inspired SleepScents collection, or the fan-favorite Original Performance Down Alternative Pillows.
