These Are the Most Luxurious Pillows for a Good Night's Rest

Pillows are a very personal thing. Something that might be comfortable to you may not be for someone else or the person sleeping next to you. That's why it's important to do extensive research before choosing the right one suited to your sleeping needs.

Like when choosing a mattress and bedding set, there are many factors to consider for pillows, starting with your sleep style: are you a side, stomach, or back sleeper? Or perhaps you're somewhere in the middle? From there, it's up to you to decide on the composition and fill of the make (down vs. down alternative vs. foam), as well as your thickness preference and whether you want a temperature-regulating option.

Understandably, finding the perfect pillow through the internet can be tricky since you can't try them out. Fortunately, we made the process easier for you by testing and narrowing down the best luxury pillows that'll elevate your bed set-up and upgrade your shut-eye. From fluffy 5-star hotel-style picks to foam-filled options that offer extra support, there's something for every type of sleeper on our list.

One reviewer raves: "Fantastic quality. I've lived with the same pillow since high-school and didn't think it could be easily replaced, until we took a jump and purchased these 100% down pillows. I'm typically a back and stomach sleeper and this cradles my neck perfectly. It's the perfect combination of support and plush--a great balance. I highly recommend."

Parachute Home Down Pillow

The best way to describe this Parachute option? Cloud-like softness. Each pillow is filled with a European white down that gives it a seriously plush yet supportive quality that you'll enjoy night after night. Choose the softest density if you sleep on your stomach or the firm density if you sleep on your back. For those who tend to move around a lot during the night, the brand recommends a medium density since it has the perfect balance of fluffiness and firmness.

One reviewer reports: "I use Parachute down medium fill for my “soft” pillows, and two dense dept store pillows as my “firm” pillows. I’m a side sleeper who likes to feel like I’m sleeping on a cloud… as long as there’s a firm pillow behind the cloud pillow to prop it up a bit! I also love that I can squish and manipulate the Parachute down medium fill pillows to my exact liking."

Fill Material: Premium European white down

Outer Shell: 100% sateen cotton shell

Density Levels: Soft, Medium, Firm

Available Sizes: Standard, King

One reviewer writes: "Holy cow, what a pillow! I was skeptical when I received it, since I've never had a pillow this heavy or one that couldn't be flipped. I'm constantly flipping my pillow to find the cool side, so I didn't think this pillow would work for me. I couldn't have been more wrong. This puppy stays cool as a cucumber all night long while keeping my neck supported without constant fluffing."

Fill Material: GelFlex® Grid, MicroAir™ Foam

Outer Shell: Moisture-wicking Stretch Knit Cover

Royal Down Pillow - Firm Density

If you typically sleep on your side, The Company Store's Royal Down Pillow will have you sleeping like a king (or queen!).

One reviewer writes: "I use it every day to sleep on. I was getting a sore neck from the down pillow I had from another source.
