Are you a restless sleeper? Do you often wake up with a stiff or sore neck? There’s a chance you can solve your sleeping woes simply by switching out the pillow you currently use with one carefully selected for your body’s kinks and sleeping preferences. We’ve done some research, and come up with ten pillows that could help you get a better night’s sleep.
Bedgear Dawn 1.0 Performance Pillow
This pillow doesn’t come cheap, but it sure is revolutionary. Ver-Tex fabric deflects heat and helps the pillow stay cool all night long. The Bedgear Dawn pillow conforms to any shape you imprint into at night, but resumes its out-of-the-box pillow shape in the morning.

Casper Pillow
Mattress startup Casper grew into a household brand name just three years after it was founded. The company’s pillow was designed using the same “obsessively engineered” technology as the mattress. It’s basically two pillows in one, and is best for people who like to sleep on multiple pillows and who like to hold onto something while falling asleep.
