Waking Up with a Sore Neck? Your Pillow Might Be the Problem
You toss, you turn, you finally doze off—only to wake up with a stiff neck or sore shoulders. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Side sleepers often struggle to find the right pillow that cradles the neck without collapsing or feeling too firm.
The solution? A pillow made just for your sleep style—a down pillow designed to support your spine and comfort your curves.
Why Side Sleepers Love Down Pillows
Down pillows, especially those filled with high-quality goose down, offer the perfect blend of softness and support. Here's what makes them ideal for side sleepers:
✅ Superior Conformability – Gently contours to your head and neck, reducing pressure points and promoting healthy alignment.
✅ Just-Right Support – Soft and lofty enough to cushion your neck without feeling too flat or stiff.
✅ Naturally Breathable – No more waking up sweaty. Down allows airflow for a cool, fresh sleep.
✅ Long-Lasting Comfort – With the right fill power and care, a great down pillow lasts for years.
How to Choose the Right Down Pillow as a Side Sleeper
Not all down pillows are created equal. Here’s what to consider when picking your perfect match:
Loft (Pillow Height)
As a side sleeper, you’ll want a medium to high loft to keep your spine aligned and fill the gap between your shoulder and head.
Fill Power
This refers to how fluffy and resilient the pillow is. Higher fill power = more loft + longer-lasting support. We recommend 700+ fill power for side sleepers.
Down Content
Look for a high percentage of goose down (not feathers). More down = more softness, more luxury.
