Firm, Supportive Pillows for Side Sleepers
Side sleeping demands more from a pillow than any other position. Most side sleeper pillows just bump up the firmness of a regular pillow. Ours are built around the ergonomics of side sleeping.
Across the line, every pillow is built around side-sleep alignment. The Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow uses a shredded foam core and a shoulder opening for position-specific support. The Cloud Pillow Firm delivers firm support in a TENCEL™ lyocell shell. The Cloud Cooling Pillow adds an ice-cold cover for hot side sleepers, the Cloud Body Pillow extends to full-body side-sleep support, and the Wiggle Pillow wraps back-to-belly for pregnancy side sleepers.
Pair yours with a Breeze Sheet Set to stay cool against the cheek and shoulder you sleep on. Every order ships with our 7-night At Home Trial and 50-night returns.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pillows for Side Sleepers
For side sleeping, the pillow loft must fill the gap between the shoulder and the ear to keep the head aligned with the spine. The Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow is engineered with higher loft and firmer fill for exactly this. The Cloud Pillow in Firm also works well, with 62oz of fill in Standard and 81oz in King.
Side sleeping puts the most weight on a pillow of any sleep position, so softer pillows compress overnight, causing the head to fall out of alignment. A firm pillow holds its loft, fills the shoulder gap, and keeps the neck neutral. The Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow is firm, and the Cloud Pillow's Firm tier offers another firm option in a TENCEL™ lyocell shell.
Yes, especially side sleepers with hip, lower back, or shoulder pain. Hugging a body pillow keeps the top arm from collapsing forward, and placing it between the knees keeps the hips and spine in alignment. The Cloud Body Pillow measures 20" x 54" and features a TENCEL™ lyocell shell and recycled PET fill for full-body support. For pregnant side sleepers, the Wiggle Pillow's 82" wraparound shape supports the back and belly at once.
Shoulder pain in side sleepers usually comes from the head sinking too low or the shoulder taking pressure it isn't built for. The Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow has a shoulder opening so the shoulder sits in neutral alignment, taking pressure off the joint. Pair it with a body pillow to hug, which keeps the top arm and shoulder off the mattress.
The Cloud Side Sleeper Pillow is the most position-specific, with a shoulder opening and firmer shredded memory foam insert. The Cloud Pillow in the Firm tier suits side sleepers who want a softer surface and a TENCEL™ lyocell shell. The Cloud Cooling Pillow is the pick for side sleepers who run hot, with the same shredded memory foam insert and an ice-cold cover. The Cloud Body Pillow adds full-body support for hip, back, or pregnancy alignment. The Wiggle Pillow is purpose-built for pregnancy side sleepers.
Yes. Every pillow ordered online comes with a 7-night At Home Trial, so there is no charge at checkout until after your trial. Orders also include free shipping and 50-night free returns.
Care varies by pillow. The Cloud Side Sleeper and Cloud Cooling Pillow have machine-washable covers (wash warm, tumble dry low); don't wash the foam insert. The Cloud Pillow machine-washes cold and tumble-dries low. The Wiggle Pillow and Cloud Body Pillow both have machine-washable covers (wash cold, tumble dry low) with spot-clean-only inserts.
