No matter what mattress, duvet or ultra-soft sheets you invest in, if your pillow isn't quite right, Shop Derila Pillow you might still struggle to get a comfortable night sleep - and may even spend your days nursing a sore neck. Finding the right pillow for you will start with identifying what kind of sleeper you are, as different pillows will be best suited to certain sleeping positions. That’s why, for this review, I recruited a range of side, front and back sleepers to help put a variety of pillows to the test. Side sleepers, for instance, do well with firm pillows, such as those made from memory foam. Cocooning the head, squashy pillows are good for back sleepers, while if you sleep on your front, think about buying a low profile Shop Derila Pillow - wool or synthetic fillings are good for this.

Impressively, it was Simba’s hybrid pillow that took the top spot in my round-up, largely owing to the fact it can be adjusted to the sleeping position of the user. It is on the more expensive side, but rest assured I’ve included options for every budget. If you run hot, I recommend temperature regulating fillings (Piglet in Bed’s wool pillow is good for this) or covers that feel cool to the touch. And, if you struggle with allergies, you’ll want a hypoallergenic pillow - synthetic, wool or bamboo are a go-to. Additionally, you’ll need to be able to wash them properly, to clear out all the dust and dust mites that are tucked away inside. Grim, we know, but dust mites are the main cause of house-based allergies in the UK. These pillows have been tested over the course of two years - that’s almost 6,000 hours of testing. My team of testers included side-, back- and front sleepers, to ensure that I was finding options for everyone.

Comfort: While comfort is subjective to a certain degree, testers paid close attention to how easy it was to fall asleep, and the level of loft, sink and overall comfort of the pillow. Bonus points were awarded if they were adjustable. Attention was also paid to whether testers stayed in position all night, and Derila Pillow whether the pillows stayed comfortable until morning. Support: Equally important, testers acknowledged firmness. Softer pillows, like those filled with down, tend to be less supportive, but you want it to be soft enough that it’s still comfortable. Attention was paid to how Ergonomic Neck Pillow and shoulders felt in the morning,n4CLCQq6pdpdZrg3yE3-pwii0r4S81Pw","width":720,"height":404}]},"title":{"runs":[{"text":"Derila Ergo Pillow⚠️(BEWARE)⚠️
