Best Pillow for Front Sleepers, Stomach Sleeper

Front sleepers, or stomach sleepers, are those who sleep with their face down on the pillow with their stomachs on the mattress. But because this is the least common sleep position, you don’t have many options in the market for pillows that support such a sleep style. With front sleepers, you want a pillow that isn’t too firm or high so that your head, neck and spine are properly aligned to not wake up with aches.

The unique star shape of this Tempur pillow allows you to hug the pillow and lift your upper back to form a straight line that reduces tension. The pillow is also made with thousands of micro-cushions to provide pressure-relieving support.

Best Pillow for Side Sleepers

Side sleepers often suffer when the pillows are too high or not firm enough to support their head. This results in the head slouching awkwardly thereby causing spinal misalignment and neck aches.

Made with latex, this Dunlopillo pillow offers firm support to the head and neck and reduces pressure points. Moreover, the pillow is anti-bacterial and anti-dust mites and is made to be breathable so that you stay cool and dry as you snooze.

Best Pillow for Back Sleepers

As for back sleepers, you require a pillow that lifts your head enough to create spinal alignment but not too high or low so that your neck doesn’t arch upward or your head sinks in too deeply.

With this Sea Horse pillow, the wavy shape offers two different heights so that you can pick a side that suits your ergonomics best. The silhouette also fits with the neck and shoulder curve to provide added support. Finally, the high-density sponge also provides medium firmness while being durable.

Best Pillow for Neck Pain

The unconventional shape of this Epabo pillow is due to its intentional orthopaedic design. The contoured shape was made to properly support and align your head, neck, shoulders and back. The pillow also has a removable piece of memory foam that can be removed to adjust to the correct height that best suits your physique.

Lastly, the memory foam construction allows for moisture-wicking and air circulation so that you stay asleep feeling cool, dry and comfortable. Do note that the brand warns of some discomfort for the initial two weeks as your body adjusts.

Best Memory Foam Pillow

In case you didn’t know, memory foam is well-loved for its adaptable and durable build. What this means is that memory foam pillows can be useful for any of the sleep types – side, back or front. It can also be customised to provide different levels of firmness and support as intended and is also cooling and breathable too.

Epitex is another local homegrown label that aims to fulfil all own home and bedding needs. This memory foam pillow touts gives firm cradling neck support and provides adequate breathability and ventilation. The shredded memory foam composition also aids in creating an even, comfortable spread of body weight to alleviate pressure points.

Do note that this pillow is sold in pairs.

Epitex Charcoal Shredded Foam Neck Support Pillow is priced at $98 as a pair from Shopee and $25.90 as a single from Amazon

Best Custom Pillow

Snoorza is a Singaporean brand founded by two brothers who want to shake up the way we buy bedding. They currently have one pillow in their line-up and its special feature is that it is fully customisable.

What does this mean? It means that you will receive an extra bag of diced memory foam fillings with every purchase so that you can add or remove them to personalise the height and support to your liking. The memory foam is also made with cooling gel bits to wick away heat, especially in Singapore’s tropical weather.

Shaped like a horseshoe, this MPJ was made for pregnant women and nursing mothers alike. The shape allows you to snugly wrap the pillow around your head, back, hips, tummy and legs to provide the closest support you need.

Once you’ve given birth, the pillow can then be coiled to provide support as you breastfeed or nurse as well as to use it to support the baby as they start to sit up.

Best Cooling Pillow, Best Pillow for Hot Weather

What sets this Etoz pillow from the others is the inclusion of cooling gel particles on the pillow surface. The gel helps to dissipate heat so that you won’t be rudely awakened at night due to heat and sweat.

The cooling effect is also partly due to the breathable memory foam makeup that also supports the neck and shoulders. The contoured iteration has a medium soft support and two sides of different heights.
