These Fluffy Pillows Won't Fall Flat

""I sleep on this pillow almost every night, and if it wasn't for the unique grid cloud texture, I would definitely mistake this for down because of its superior softness," shares Baker. Even though this falls in the down alternative pillow category, she says it's a worthwhile pick since it gives the type of support that'll help finicky side or back sleepers rest easy."

"Baker thinks this patented honeycomb GelFlex Grid support feels like pressing onto a trampoline since it's so stretchy and springy. Underneath the grid hides a cushion of mushy fill that cradles her head. "As someone who loves a good skin and haircare routine, I really appreciate the machine-washable pillow protector," Baker notes. "Since this is a fairly pricey purchase, it's nice that unsightly oil staining won't seep through my pillowcase and get directly on the pillow itself.""

The GelFlex honeycomb grid provides trampoline-like springiness while a soft underlayer of fill cradles the head, creating down-like softness in a down-alternative pillow. A machine-washable protector prevents oil staining from seeping into the pillow and helps maintain hygiene. Each pillow was evaluated in home sleep settings for at least one month to assess real-world comfort and support. Shoppers should consider warranty and return policies. Down fills commonly use goose or duck feathers and fill power indicates fullness, while down-alternative options offer hypoallergenic benefits. Firmness should be matched to sleep position for optimal support.
