Never realized it’s so expensive being a side sleeper🙄
I'm a side sleeper as well.. I have a puffy hybrid mattress and pillow to say the least they're both incredible.
I know right ?? Wth
Currently watching this while side laying on a folded pillow on top of another pillow.
Lmao me!
😂
Literally same and that is exactly why I’m here lol
Same and my neck has had a tweak in it for a month
Gosh my pillows feel like I woke up and someone broke a bat over my head
😂😂😂😂👍
Timing is everything. I have been looking at pillows and this video is exactly what I needed. Thank you.
I really like how the Purple Harmony Pillow looks, I think it would be great to reduce pressure on my shoulders
The Eli & Elm looks perfect. Will have to give it a try on my next pillow purchase. I like I could adjust if needed.
Thanks for the Video. My wife and I bought two of the Eli elm sidesleeper. Great pillow.
I really thought I would likely go with the Tempur-Pedic because I really tend to like the feel of memory foam, but Sarah really sold me on the Eli and Elm Organic Side Sleeper. I'm loving the ergonomic design and the fact that the fill is adjustable so I can make it as lofty as I like. Thanks so much for these great side sleeper reviews!
After trying tons of pillows this weekend, the Cariloha Flex was the one. Side sleeper I am, and loved it. Soft and kinda firm at the same time.
The birch pillow is so nice! It looks so fluffy!!!!
The Eli & Elm looks sweet and the shredded insides lets you customize it. I was surprised at the Purple pillow as it looked better than what I would have imagined.
Thank you so much for this video! Very informative and helpful, please keep making these videos!
FANTASTIC! Finally the information I was looking for. Thank you!
Excellently researched. Thanks for the advice.
I already have the Eli & Elm and it's awesome, but I really like that Saatva pillow with both latex and down alternative, but favorite materials of mine.
I would honestly love to feel and try all of these pillows! BUT, if I had to choose, I would pick out the Eli and Elm, Luxe down and Layla. Great selections, and I love the reviews!
I tried a Purple Harmony in a store and it was amazing, though selling a kidney to buy one seems extreme.
Cheap ass
Cody Wertz your poor
Lol
It made my neck hurt really bad
@@cody3665 lmaoo cheap ass?? Tf I thought the same thing $160+ for a pillow.... yeah no
Eli&Elm love the shape specific for neck pain which definitely have, purple harmony another maintained loft a plus, Layla looks like such a snuggly fit, certainly would love to have them all for rotation purposes too😍
I like the Eli & Elm for its organic materials and for it being the best recommendation for side sleepers with neck pain.
Thank you.... Super helpful. I'm going to buy two of them. Fingers crossed!
Absolutely amazing review. Thank you..
I really like the Tempur Cloud Breeze and the Purple Harmony. I love Cloud Breeze for that memory foam feel that i love so much and the outside layer of cooling gel to keep you cool all night. I also love the Harmony because its made of a solid slab of talalay latex with ventilated holes to keep you cool. Its kind of nice that the whole pillow is wrapped in a thin layer of their hyper elastic polymer material. I would be happy with either of these two great pillows. I just wish they were more affordable
saatva looks awesome and flexible for sleeping and relaxing, to get just the right shape and fluff!
That birch pillow looks great! I feel like as a combo sleeper I don't want something too big. The purple looks so gimmicky to me but I could be wrong.
I’m intrigued by the Eli and Elm pillow. I like how it cradles the head which is what I do with my pillows.
I had this pillow and it lost it's shape after a few months and I had to throw it away. I wouldn't waste my money on this pillow.
@@Lisa-rh3zr thanks for the honesty.
@@Lisa-rh3zr fully agree got a similar pillow with the foam stuffing's, nice idea but its a gimmick, you can reshape it but who wants to do that nightly? and it still sinks in half way in the night giving a sore neck.
I'm a side sleeper but can move around as well. I like all the options here but my 1st choice would be the Saatva. It sounds amazing! The Eli and Elm also sounds comfortable and the other one I would like to consider would be the Tempur Pedic memory foam pillow because I love that it comes with a cooling gel layer on both sides.
That Eli and elm pillow was the right one the moment I laid eyes on it. After watching the full video I went and bought one for the Black Friday sale!! Thank you for such a informative video.
So its been a month, how's it holding up? Lol, im in the market for a new pillow as well
The Saatva pillow looks best for me as I constantly turn all night due to back problems and sometimes even place my pillow between my knees to provide better ease of pain.
thank you for this video i am a heavy side sleeper i watch movies on my side so this is a very good video for me
Loving that Eli & Elm shredded foam pillow. It looks amazing and i have to get one of those. This was a great line up of amazing pillows but being the pillow snob that i am im going to have to try that Eli & Elm and maybe the Layla as well. Thanks for all of the info
Thanks!
I like the shape and adjustable filling on the Eli & Elm side sleeper pillow. Seems like a great choice for combo sleepers.
I looooove my SleepGram pillow for side sleeping. And I have Fibromyalgia and neck pain. The SleepGram pillow eliminates the neck pain!
Could you please do a review of contour pillows for side sleepers. Thank you. Love your reviews.
Ahh, I NEED that cloud breeze.
Oh wow first the best mattresses for side sleepers and now the best PILLOWS for a side sleeper? I feel so spoiled ...thank you for these, its a tough choice between the Purple Harmony Pillow for every night use or the Layla Kapok Pillow for when my shoulder pain is acting up but they are all great pillows. Thank you for another great in depth review!
I think my fav is the purple for side sleeper. More bouncy.
I would go with the Bear pillow for its cooling features!
Eli & Elm and Layla I love the shredded material and the ergonomic shape for neck pain. and I love the loft of the Layla I hope you do a giveaway on these two pillows someday. That would be great!!!
Eli and Elm, Satva and the Birch all look good. This past weekend, I bought an Obasan Wool Pillow for both myself and my husband. Hoping it works like the Eli and Elm. I'm planning on buying two more pillows, so these are now on my list.
I'd like to try the Eli & Elm, because you can adjust it and I like the shape. I'd like to see if it helps with the neck pain I get sometimes. The Layla also seems really nice
🥰😘 Luv ya! Thanks for the information; finding the right pillow is a big pain in the neck! I like solid memory foam pillows, BUT they make my ear/head hot a sweaty.
Great review!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I like the layla and the Eli and Elm too!
I'm a side sleeper and I have a tempur pedic ☁️ mattress, so I end up sinking into my mattress. I bought the tempur pedic cooling pillow because I sleep hot. Unfortunately for me it's too lofty so my head ends up being very high from my mattress. I appreciate that you've tested all these different brands! I am overwhelmed though, help? Lol thanks in advance for your help! - A
I've not thought about investing in a good pillow. I may try the Layla or the Eli and Elm.
Thank you, Sleepopolis! I love that I found your channel!
The Eli and Elm looks interesting and if it helps with neck pain then I would love it!
Did you get it!?
I think I like the luxe for side and back sleeping, i.v never had a tougher pillow so I don't no what it'd feel like
Hi Sarah. Thanks for your video. I really appreciate it. I need your advice. I’m a side sleeper but usually sleep with my arm under the pillow. The wrong pillow puts my arm to sleep which wakes me up. What options would be best for me?
I just bought the Eli and Elm pillow. Its awesome! My neck hurts when my pillow is too thick and my shoulder hurts when my pillow is too low(or thin?). What I do is I push the filling to the
sides so that there’s not much filling in the middle. No more neck and shoulder pain. I hope it doesn’t lose its shape as on commenter said ☹️
You should make a pillow review for the Cushion lab pillow
I would love a personal recommendation! Tried to Eli & Elm side sleeper and liked it but didn’t love it. Currently trying the purple harmony pillow, and again I like the pillow but not sure right now if it’s the one for me. I did however originally order the 6.5” and may order the 7.5” to see if that makes a difference. What would you recommend?
What should have if I have a back and neck pain when i sleep on the side tanks you for your response
Ah great, now I'm getting pillow and matress adds. Y'know what, that's better than what I was getting before.
Love the videos! I am a combo side/ back sleeper with also shoulder pain and lots of neck pains lol. Would you still recommend the Eli&Elm? Have you ever heard of sutera? Really have tried so many pillows 🤣 thanks for your videos!
Try the Eli & Elm Side Sleeper!
Have you also tried the snowe down alternative?
Kapuk/Kapok is considered as inferior when it comes to pillow fill in my country. I remember sleep in kapok filled when I was kid, it was uncomfortable and I think that's why I got allergy. It is more durable than cotton, but as pillow fill it so heavy and the fill can actually gotten out from the cover and not really hygiene (cause you can't wash it, you can but it will dilapidated)
I’m a little upset because I’m looking for a nice side sleeper pillow for side sleepers and was interested in the Eli and elm but they don’t come in king and same with the harmony pillow. Those were my top 2 picks.
I just ordered the Bear Pillow for people that get warm after looking at you too cooling pillows for 2020 and I just ordered the Eli and Elm side pillow as well. Guess I will find out if I like either one of them.
Did you get them? What did you think?
sooooo?
I'm going to try the Layla, mainly because my huge head has flattened many a pillow. I also like the return policy which I fully intend to utilize if I don't like it.
I didn't have good luck with the Layla Kapok pillow. they even sent me more filling but I couldn't stop it from flattening out. I do have very broad shoulders and weigh 275 lbs but it just didn't work for me i'm thinking of trying the Purple Harmony pillow.
Eli and Elm because it is for side sleepers, is adjustable and the ergonomic design. Loved this video
Have you tried the Sutera pillow? I flip flop from side to back, but mainly am a side sleeper with excruciating neck/shoulder pain with headache when I get up in the morning.
I have curly hair and rely on my satin pillow case to keep my hair frizz free. I’m also a side sleeper with crazy neck and shoulder pain due to currently sleeping on the wrong pillow. I sweat, I turn on my back and I get about 6-7 hours of sleep a night. If I consider a pillow with cooling capabilities will my satin pillow case hinder that capability? Thanks!!
I once slept on a pillow containing GMO cotton and my life was forever changed
GMO or Non GMO? Was the forever change good or bad?
@@stephaniecrothers8482
I now have the GMO shakes and rattles
So whats the best one for neck pain and side sleeping overall?
Just ordered the Eli Side Sleepers, they have a 45 day trial so yeah, spendy, but worth a try. My neck is killing me.
How would you compare the Avacado pillow to the Birch pillow for side sleepers? I have some neck and back pain and always sleep on my side. Thanks!!
Quick question, I see you list other pillows that would be good to sleep with an arm under, but is the Eli & Elm comfortable to sleep with an arm under as well?
Have you tried the Sutera pillow? If so, what are your thoughts?
Which would you recommend for me...I’m a 6’6” 205# male average build. I’m split between the Layla Kapok or the Coop Home Goods Original with maybe some extra fill. Currently sleeping on a Purple Harmony high loft, it’s decent but not great. Thanks!
How does the eli & Elm stand up to the easy breather natural pillow?
So I got a question, I really like the Eli and elm pillow but I’m allergic to latex. I get a rash on the area of contact. Is the case going to protect me from the latex or am I going to have to replace the filling?
Is there a pillow for side-stomack sleepers? Any recommendation please? I ve tried so many pillows I've lost count. Thanks, great video.
The pillowcube!!
Can you get these pillows in New Zealand?
Hi Sara
What would I go for if I tuck my arm under the pillow? I would say I am between side and stomach sleeper somthing in between(I sleep on my side but tend to lean on to my stomach a bit) There are pillows marketed as arm pillows with an arm hole or a tunnel. Any thoughts on my condition. The neck and shoulder pain is horrible! I'v tried tempur pillows and down pillows
For side sleepers which do I need medium or firm
Great review, thanks. Which pillow has the least amount of off-gassing? Can't tolerate breathing in chemicals all night long from foams. Thx.
Have you heard of or tried any pillows with cutouts for the side of your face? Two pillows are the Juverest and sleep and glow pillow, and I think both are $160. Seem very interesting
Hi Sarah. Thank you so much for this video. It's awesome to know that there are so many fellow side sleepers out there lol. I'd like to ask for a recommendation on a pillow - I recently bought the Birch pillow, but feel that it's a bit too soft for me. Which firmer ones would you recommend then?
If you're trying to stay with latex, check out the Avocado. If not, try the Purple Harmony.
@@Sleepopolis Thank you so much!!!
I'm really interested in Eli & Elm and Layla. Thanks!
I need a good recommendation. I've been using a Layla for the past 2 years and have honestly hated it. I usually sleep in the bottom corners of my pillow and Layla struggled to hold it's shape. The filling always pushed backward leaving me with no support.
So for a recommendation, I want something that will hold its shape and loft, but without feeling like I'm being sucked into the pillow (like Layla). I keep seeing the Pillow Cube and that seems enticing. I also don't want to spend more than $100. Thoughts?
I love the Eli & Elm and The Purple pillow I love the shape of the Eli &Elm and I love how bouncy the Purple pillow. Very hard to choose just one!💜
Can I come over your house to test them 😂😀
i like to fold,mold to make it firm during sleep,sometimes less firm.any suggestion?
How long will the layla pillow last. From what I remember reading is that the pillow would only last for six months. And how long will the tempurpedic pillow and bedding last without softing. I'm wondering out of all these pillows which memory foam pillow would last longer than a year. Out of the Eli pillow, birch, and luxe down which pillow would relieve pressure better for neck and back pain. Oh and the nectar pillow didn't make this list I guess. But I'm also wondering how long the nectar pillow would last for. Are nectar pillows worth buying.
Hi my kid has asthma so my doctor suggested to make him sleep on slanted pillow since the angle on the pillow allows his breathing but he is a side sleeper can u suggest any pillows of that kind??
Bear Pillow no longer in your top side sleepers - is the Tempur-Pedic that much better?
I love my Eli & Elm!! I cannot sleep without it anymore. My only wish is that they offer a pillow cover to fit their unique shape. Saatva's dual fluffy and foldable design is very intriguing. Purple Harmony Pillow also sounds good. Layla may be a bit too lofty. Thanks for the interesting review!
Sach S I’m interested in the Eli & Elm but I can’t figure out where to find a pillow case for it. What do you do with yours? Don’t use a pillow case? If that’s the case, I may just have to give that up...
@@michelletsf Hello Michelle! I am currently using my oversize towel and wrap around the pillow so that I can just wash the towel for time to time. I actually contacted the company a while back and asked about the matching pillow case. Here is the response I received: "We are in the process of offering separate pillow cases for sale on our site. Unfortunately we likely won't be launching them anytime soon. Be sure to check back in the next coming months as we do continue to add and improve our products". I do hope they will produce pillow cases to fit because I really love the pillow!
Sach S thanks for sharing! This is very unfortunate. as much as this is the most appealing pillow to me and I almost ordered it, I don’t think I can deal with not having any pillow case that can fit the pillow and the rest of my bedsheets. Hopefully one day!
@Vera Duplessis Hi Vera, I don't have a king size pillowcase so I don't know. But according to their website, the pillow
size is 17″ x 29″ Hope this info is helpful. I do wish they will offer a matching pillowcase or cover soon. ;)
Have you tested the sorta two pack, $16 at Ross?
What happens to the ones that are returned after their trial periods?
I'm looking for an adjustable cooling pillow for side sleepers. is the (Dream Rite Shredded Hypoallergenic Memory Foam Pillow WonderSleep Series Luxury Adjustable Loft Home Pillow Hotel Collection Grade Washable Removable Cooling Bamboo Derived Rayon Cover- Queen 1 Pack) a good choice for me?
I currently sleep on a 36DD pilow
I am a side sleeper and like a soft pillow what should I get I have a my pillow now but my neck has been bothering me
does side sleeper pillows can help from people suffering from sleep apnea?
1 pillow? Are people switching sides and rolling in place? I have to roll to the other side of the bed, which entails swapping body pillows between my legs, 1 on each side! I'm a 4 pillow kind of guy, plus having one against my back to feel snuggled in really helps.
Paul Ho same!
I'm literally engulfed in pillows lol
I have six pillows. Also literally surrounded by pillows. Not sure why more people don't do this. It's heaven. Now that I've watched this video though, I definitely need a better neck pillow. Currently two pillows-one folded-neck gang.
I'm with you, Paul! A feather/down pillow on top of a polyfil pillow for under my head (side sleeper), a dense polyfil pillow between the knees/legs, and a dense polyfill in the small of my back. It really is a nice cozy feel and gives lots of support.
Wow
I wanted to order the avocado green pillow but it says it ships in 5 to 6 weeks. I am not patient enough to wait that long on a pillow. What other pillows are soft like that and adjustable that do not require ridiculously long wait times like avocado?
I’ve tried so many. Always stiff neck Ugh. I want to try temper but no returns kills me.
What about pillow cases and decorating your bed?
Help! Where can I buy the Layla Kapok pillow in Canada? Looks like the one for me but $80+ shipping from the US is holding me back.
I’ve had a Layla for about two years. I’m a tall, broad shouldered guy with chronic neck pain who only sleeps on my side. For the last several months the pillow doesn’t have enough loft. I’ve tried fluffing it every night and putting it in the dryer with a tennis ball (recommended by Layla). Doesn’t hold through the night. Layla won’t send me refill to increase the loft. I’m open to suggestions and new pillow options.
