The fact is that the right pillow can make a big difference to how well you sleep. They can go a long way in preventing a stiff neck, achy shoulders, and back pain (we’ve all been there), so if you’re waking up feeling uncomfortable, the chances are that you’re using the wrong pillow for your sleeping position. Sigh.

It’s a common misconception that pillows are a one-size-fits-all product, but the reality is they’re not. For side sleepers, a pillow that ensures that your head and neck remain correctly positioned and supported is essential – and as a side sleeper myself, I can personally vouch for this.

Selecting the right one can be tricky, but to make the process easier, we’ve rounded up some that came out on top in Amazon’s product reviews for being the best for side sleepers.
