From cooling bamboo to contouring memory foam, five top-rated pillows on Amazon that are changing the way we sleep
There are hundreds of pillows out there all claiming to help lull you in to a blissful night's sleep, but if you suffer with stiff neck pain or hate sleeping in the heat, a regular feather pillow might not serve the best purpose.
If you have specific issues to contend with, Amazon is a helpful source for finding a pillow that suits you. A new pillow can make a big change to an uncomfortable sleeping situation. Sleep technology has come a long way from simple down or fibre-fill pillows, with many now boasting innovative features to give you a restful slumber.
Ahead, we take a look at some of the top-rated pillows on Amazon that shoppers are loving. Whether you are a side-sleeper, front-sleeper or dealing with recent health changes, it's worth taking a look at this selection.
1. Best for neck pain
Ecosafeter Contour Memory Foam Pillow, £29.99
A pillow is there to support your head as you sleep, so if you suffer from back or neck pain you might want to pay more attention to what you lay your head down on at night.
The Ecosafeter Contour Memory Foam Pillow is an Amazon bestseller. With over 2,000 reviews, the Ecosafeter has been a reliable choice for those that suffer with stiff neck pain.
The contour memory foam pillow has been designed according to recommendations from sleep experts, boasting a supportive ergonomic curve that gently cradles your head and neck, distributing weight and relieving pressure on sensitive areas. This means you're on track for the best sleep ever - no matter if you're on your back or on your side.

2. Best for hot sleepers
Martian Dreams Bamboo Pillow With Shredded Memory Foam, £33.99 (was £39.99)
If you often wake in the night feeling hot and sweaty, a cooling pillow might be the solution to a better night's sleep. While it can't change the warm climate around you, the temperature regulating material can wick away some of the excess heat.
The Maritan Dreams Bamboo Pillow uses micro-vented bamboo covers and memory foam to promote air circulation and ensure heat is dissipated throughout the night.
As a bonus, the pillow is stuffed with a unique mix of shredded visco elastic memory foam, which you can add or remove to suit your sleeping style and preferences.
One reviewer wrote: 'One of my best purchases on Amazon, and most definitely the best pillow I have ever slept on. Dry as a bone, instead of being wet as a rag, which my old pillows did to me, especially during recent hot weather.'
3. Best hypoallergenic pillow
Silentnight Anti-Allergy Pillow Pack of 2, £13 (was £29.99)
With over 1,200 reviews, these Anti-Allergy Pillows from Silentnight are among the most popular hypoallergenic pillows on Amazon.
Approved by the British Allergy Foundation, the pillows are the go-to for allergy and asthma sufferers. Scientifically tested and proven to reduce or remove allergens that could be in your regular pillow, they help keep dust mites at bay, ensuring you get an uninterrupted nights sleep.
Specially filled with anti-allergy hollowfibre that actively fights bacteria, they also feel continuously fresh and clean. You get two in a pack for only £13, making this one of the more affordable offerings in our list.
4. Best goose down pillow
UMI. Essentials Pack of Two White Goose Feather Pillows, £43.99
For a softer more luxurious sleep, a feathered pillow is the way to go. Goose down pillows tend to be softer and squishier so if you're after a firm pillow we would suggest opting for something different.
The UMI. Essentials Pack of Two White Goose Feather Pillows with 100 per cent cotton fabric is a great fit for those after cloud-like pillow. One Amazon reviewer raved: 'It's like being in the best hotel but in your own bedroom.'
Filled with premium 2-4cm white goose feathers, the pillows provide enough firmness to support your head, neck and shoulders, while remaining indulgently soft. At £43.99 for two, these are a decent price point as many goose down pillows can reach upwards of £100. It is also worth noting that these are responsible down standard certified.
5. Best knee pillow
Designed to be sandwiched between both knees, a knee pillow is a great solution for those who suffer with back, knee, hip or joint pain.
Not only does the Abco Tech Knee Pillow support the healing action of muscles and ligaments, but it can also give you a more relaxed posture during the night, helping you sleep better. It has also been suggested that a knee pillow is great for side sleepers, as years of sleeping on one's side can result in stress and strain on the spine leading to hip and lower back pain.
Made out of memory foam, the Abco Tech Knee Pillow is soft enough to feel comfortable between your legs, whilst sturdy enough to help achieve the required alignment. One happy reviewer wrote: 'Was being woken up with hip pain every night, but since using this pillow, that has stopped. Very comfortable and comforting (like cuddling a hot water bottle!)'
