But the fill of your pillow, above all else, can make or break your sleep.
The Casaluna Down Alternative Pillow is one of the best pillows we’ve ever tried.
Back, side, and stomach sleepers all loved this pillow.

It’s lofty and filled pretty high, but we never felt uncomfortable while using it.
On the outside, you’ll find a comfortable 300-thread-count cotton shell.
However, it wasnt so noticeable that it altered how we slept.

Everything is encased in a cotton shell.
In our tests, the pillow felt exceptionally comfortable without any lumpiness.
Another standout feature of this pillow is its cooling capabilities.
We were impressed with how the pillow never felt warm, keeping hot sleepers cool throughout the night.
This pillow held up well throughout our several-week test, with no signs of flattening or clumping.
The machine washable cover is also a great touch for easy maintenance.
Just note that there was a chemical smell upon arrival, which dissipated within a few days.
We found it didnt trap heat and maintained a comfortable temperature to the touch throughout our use.
Overall, we liked the feel of sleeping on this latex pillow.
It isnt the plushest pillow on our list (that would be theSnuggle-Pedic!
), so those who like a fuller, more sink-in feel will find this pick isnt the coziest.
What blew us away, though, was the amazing cooling capability of the fill.
We found it stayed cool to the touch, and nicely breathable, all night long.
Even after wetossed the pillow in the washing machine and dryer, it still came out feeling cool.
We love that its well-constructed, with no shrinkage post-wash. With its pillow-in-a-pillow design, we found it hard to top the plushness and cushioning.
Across the board, we’ve also really loved the ability to customize adjustable pillows exactly to our liking.
Here is what to know about each throw in.
For side sleepers, optimal support is crucial to maintain proper neck and spine alignment.
And for stomach sleepers, a thin and soft pillow often provides the best comfort.
Many pillows are breathable, especially those with lofty filling like down or down alternative products.
However, for those who really run hot, a specialized pillow withbuilt-in cooling propertieswill be the most comfortable.
