When you sleep on a less-than-stellar pillow, your neck and shoulders often pay the price the next morning. A supportive pillow is just as important as a supportive mattress. It’s one of the last things you feel every night and the first you feel every morning. It makes sense, then, to invest in a great one, and if the pillow comes with fast shipping, that's even better. (You don't want to keep your neck waiting!) And where do we turn for quality pillows with lightening speed delivery? Amazon, of course. With Prime Day around the corner, we set out to find the very best pillows on Amazon, so you can snag yourself a deal.

Since we’re obsessed with good sleep here at House Beautiful, we made sure to include as many editor-tested and beloved picks as possible, including options from popular bedding brands like Casper, Coop, and Brooklinen. You will find pillow recommendations for every type of sleeper, too, whether you prefer to lay on your back, side, stomach, or a combination of all these positions. We also selected options that vary on the super plush to extra firm spectrum, since everyone has a different preference. Our finds range from neck pillows designed for cervical vertebrae balance, to cooling pillows with bamboo covers to keep even the hottest of sleepers comfortable all night long.

Scroll on to shop our favorite pillows from Amazon and enjoy the comfort soon, as they'll likely arrive at your doorstep in just two days.

Bed Pillows

Not only is this set the number one best-seller in Amazon bed pillows, but it's also beloved by Senior Digital Editor Melanie Yates. "The Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows are relatively affordable for this product category, but they don't skimp on comfort at all," Yates says. "I'm a side sleeper who needs a low-profile pillow that's still cushy and supportive, and these pillows deliver. There's no aggressive pushback or finicky filling to wrestle with here: I can just sink into the pillow from any angle and doze off without making any adjustments."

The collection is also a favorite of Deputy Digital Editor Katelyn Lunders. "If you prefer down alternative pillows, this version won't disappoint," Lunders says. "It provides that luxuriously soft yet firm feel that you'd get from a hotel bed. And after years of sleeping on them, they haven't flatten or sagged."

Fill material: Down alternative | Firmness: Plush | Adjustable: No

Adjustable Memory Foam Neck Pillow

Side sleepers who need a bit of extra support can't go wrong with this expert-recommended pillow. The unique butterfly shape is designed to support the natural curve of the cervical vertebrae, while still having enough loft to support your head. It can even help with snoring. Plus, the adjustable height means it can work for a variety of sleep positions, from a thinner fill for stomach sleepers to a higher one for side sleepers. "I use the ZAMAT memory foam pillow as my supportive base now instead of a regular pillow, and it has greatly improved my ability to find (and stay!) in a more comfortable position while I'm laying in bed, with the use of the other pillows to help prop me up as needed," one reviewer wrote.

Fill material: Memory foam | Firmness: Firm | Adjustable: Yes

Original Pillow for Sleeping

"During the beginning of the Covid-19 lockdown—when we were all working from our beds—I was experiencing so much discomfort from a memory foam pillow I was using," Contributing writer Kelsey Mulvey says. "My husband (then-boyfriend) volunteered giving me his Casper Original Pillow for a few nights, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love how the pillow-in-pillow design offers support without feeling too stiff and the two-inch gusset evenly distributes the fill. Oh, and can we talk about the fluff for a second?! The down alternative feels like I’m sleeping on a bunch of ethically-sourced feathers!"

Fill material: Microfiber | Firmness: Medium soft | Adjustable: Yes

Deep Sleep Pillow

The contoured design of this pillow is a side sleeper's dream, and it won over Associate Shopping Editor Janae McKenzie. "For a pillow to be this expensive, it had better live up to its support promises. Luckily, this one did, much more than many other side sleeper pillows I’d tried in the past. The divot in the center cradles my head perfectly whether I’m on my side or my back, which particularly impressed me." The shape is suited for tossers and turners, and it provides relief to the shoulder pain that typically arrives with side sleeping.

Fill material: Memory foam | Firmness: Soft yet supportive | Adjustable: No

Cloud Canadian Down Pillow

If the fluffiness of pure down is your preferred way to sleep, this luxurious pillow is perfect for you. It comes with a sateen shell, a customizable fill, and it's even OEKO-TEX certified against harmful chemicals. "This is the most luxurious pillow I have ever had," one reviewer wrote. "Dreamy, heavenly, soft and so very comfortable! Totally worth the extra cost. All down, no feather stems to poke you in the face. It doesn’t go flat, it’s not hard to mold it how I like, doesn’t get sweaty if it’s a warm night, I got medium fill and it’s perfect, I am a side sleeper."

Fill material: Canadian goose down | Firmness: Soft, medium, and firm | Adjustable: Yes

Backrest Pillow

Sometimes, the bed is just the comfiest place to lounge. Whether you're working from home or reading in bed, you need proper lumbar support so you're not aching when you get up. The teardrop shape props you up in your lower back, and it comes with a breathable yet cozy knit cover. "This pillow is huge, heavy, and well made," one reviewer wrote. "It feels like memory foam and does keep its shape. I have back and neck problems so when I want to sit on my bed, to read or use my phone/iPad, I use this pillow."

Fill material: Polyester | Firmness: Medium | Adjustable: No

Long Body Pillow

"As a side sleeper, I need a pillow between my knees to keep my spine in alignment and help me fall asleep, and this cuddly pillow has been a bedtime essential," McKenzie says. "I first bought it two years ago, and even through being vacuumed packed and stuffed into suitcases, it's held its shape incredibly well. The responsive memory foam is soft on my joints but supports me, and it stays cool through the night. Propped up against my other bed pillows, it also works pretty well for lumbar support."

Fill material: Shredded memory foam | Firmness: Medium firm | Adjustable: No

Contoured Orthopedic Pillow

"I never used to worry about the type of pillow I was sleeping on, whether fluffy or flat. Then in my late 20s, I started getting neck/shoulder pains and now I'm very particular about what I sleep on," Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao says. "I've tried various pillows, including Costco and name brand ones, but finally settled on an 'orthopedic' pillow, which doesn't sound hot but feels so good for my body!

One thing that stood out to me about Dosaze is the dip in the middle, so your head nestles perfectly in the middle and your neck/spine feel supported. I'm a back sleeper, so this pillow is perfect. I occasionally sleep on my side and will sleep on the raised portion. What truly made me purchase this pillow though was that on the Dosaze website, all the reviewers skewed in the older age range. If a 70-something is recommending this pillow for pains, I was definitely sold. Now I can't sleep on any other pillow!"

Fill material: Memory foam | Firmness: Medium firm | Adjustable: No

The Pillow

"This adjustable pillow from beloved bedding brand Brooklinen is such a game-changer," Senior Commerce Manager Mackenzie Dunn says. "The size zippers let you change up the firmness depending on your preference. I prefer both my zippers closed for optimal support, but I love that there's the option to switch it up! The memory foam interior is never flat or dull and as someone who is prone to allergies, I appreciate the antimicrobial shell."

Fill material: Memory foam | Firmness: Customizable | Adjustable: Yes

Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow

"I never found a memory foam pillow I liked until trying Coop's version, which is filled with shredded foam that can be removed or added to adjust to your comfort level," Lunders says. "As a combination sleeper, I have found this to be the most supportive pillow whether I'm on my back or side. And, I love that you can still fluff it up, unlike other memory foam pillows that are just a pillow-shaped slab of foam." And if you happen to be a Christina Hall fan, she has this pillow too!

Fill material: Memory foam and microfiber | Firmness: Customizable | Adjustable: Yes

How We Selected the Best Pillows on Amazon

Our editors are obsessed about buying the best products for a great night’s sleep, so our first step was to survey the House Beautiful team on their beloved picks. Each tested pillow was slept on for at least one week, and some have been used for months and even years. The ones that held their shape, softness, and support after extended use were what made the cut, including Associate Shopping Editor Janae McKenzie’s favorite body pillow and Deputy Digital Editor Katelyn Lunders’s adjustable memory foam pillow. The pillows that didn’t directly pass through an editor's hands still came highly recommended, whether it was by a certified sleep doctor or thousands of five-star reviews.
