I've been having a great night of sleep when I wear an eye mask to block out light and earplugs to block out noise [1]. I honestly didn't think my sleep could be improved, until I tried out this Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow [2] ($100). I was skeptical that a pillow could make a difference, but after a few nights, I realized it can! Clearly, my dog Rosie is a huge fan, too. Keep reading to find out what makes this pillow so uniquely cozy.
What Is a Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow?
The Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow [4] is a uniquely curve-shaped pillow that's not just for side sleepers. The cutout shape allows it to rest snugly around your bottom shoulder if you sleep on your side, but it also feels cozy around your neck if you sleep on your back. Rectangular-shaped pillows may not be the best for supporting your head and neck, which is why this side sleeper pillow offers such a great night of sleep. And the ribbon around the pillow isn't just for decorations — it's designed to maintain the shape of the pillow.
The Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow Is Customizable
After the first night sleeping with this Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow, I'll be honest — I wasn't a fan. I thought it was too firm for my liking, but then the company told me you can unzip it and remove some of the incredibly squishy filling to adjust the height and softness. Once I did that, the pillow was perfect! It's soft and comfy yet supportive at the same time.
The Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow Is Cooling
I noticed that the Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow felt very cool to the touch. That's because the filling is made with CertiPUR-US-certified copper-infused foam. The website says copper is far more effective at cooling than gel-based memory foam and much cozier. I don't care why it's cool — I just care that it is! I didn't realize how much warmer my regular pillow was until I had this cooler pillow to compare it to.
Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillowcase
Honeydew makes a special pillowcase [5] ($30) that zips over the Side Sleeper Pillow. You can order it in white, mint, or gray.
Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow Final Thoughts
After sleeping with the Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow, I'm a huge fan. It's hard to describe just how soft and cozy it feels — you have to feel it for yourself. I thought the shape of the pillow wouldn't matter much because I was used to bunching my regular pillow up to get it snug against my neck, but that's what's great about this pillow — there's no bunching! A good night of sleep is truly priceless, so if you're a slide sleeper, I'd totally check out this pillow. It comes with a 60-day trial [6], so you've got nothing to lose!
