Best Overall: Beckham Hotel Collection Luxury Gel Pillow

With more than 18,000 five-star reviews and counting, this Amazon best-selling pillow is a hard one to pass up, especially when it's so reasonably priced. Beckham's hotel-worthy pillow is stuffed to perfection with cooling gel-filled fibers and encased in a breathable satin-like cotton cover to ensure each night is the coziest sleep ever — even if you're someone that runs hot. Its plush interior is designed to bounce back after every toss and turn, making it comfortable for side, back, and stomach sleepers alike.

"I have to say I am somewhat of a 'pillow snob,'" one shopper admitted. "They are cool, and in South Florida, that is important, since it's hot as heck most of the time. They are soft, yet firm (What? yes, really!) They provide great support for my neck, which I've had problems with for 20 years."

Most Firm: Casper Sleep Pillow

Odds are, you've heard of the Casper Sleep Pillow — and there's a good reason for that. The pillow's innovative design allows for cooling airflow and extra support, while its clump-resistant technology keeps it forever fluffy. Its firmness comes from its microfiber fill and unique pillow-in-pillow design, which is further enhanced by the pillow's neck- and spine-aligning 2-inch gusset. Hot sleepers will enjoy increased airflow thanks to its woven cotton exterior.

"This pillow is one of the best pillows I've ever used," raved an Amazon customer. "It's soft and comfortable, yet also supportive where it matters for all kinds of sleep positions. I personally sleep on my back and sides and I've never slept better. I would say it sits around medium-firm, which is how I personally like it."

Best Orthopedic: SensorPedic Classic Contour Memory Foam Pillow

Memory foam tends to be a favorite among light sleepers, and SensorPedic's take on the plush material is a standout. Its contoured silhouette ergonomically supports your head and promotes proper neck and spine alignment. And, its special sensor-foam and iCool technology work together to keep cold air flowing and prevent any trapped heat pockets, so every side is the cool side. Not only are the hypoallergenic pillows ideal for all sleep positions, but for $56, you can snag a set of two.

"Great price, awesome pillow," a Wayfair reviewer wrote. "Following two back surgeries in two years, these pillows were very useful in helping to [relieve] sleeplessness nights. Very comfortable."

"Best pillows ever," a Nordstrom customer declared. "I can't tell you how many different pillows I have tried: bamboo, memory foam, My Pillow — these are by far the best. I know you are thinking the cost is a little high, but really, isn't a good night's sleep worth it? Take it from an insomniac; these work!"

"I think I've tried every pillow under the sun," explained a reviewer, who called themselves a "die-hard" side sleeper. "The first time I slept on this pillow, I tried it out for a nap. I slept so hard, so unexpectedly... I don't think I've slept so well ever! My rotator cuffs don't hurt anymore because my neck is very far off of my shoulder now, so I don't have to lift my arm so high. I am so happy."

This advanced material also gives the pillow its cooling properties, as well as its moisture wicking and odor-resistant capabilities.

"At first use, I thought this pillow would be far too soft compared to my past Tempurpedic pillow," one shopper explained. "After a few solid months of use, I am happy with how I feel after a night sleeping on this pillow. I have yet to wake up with a sore neck (knock on wood)."
