Best Pillows for Back Sleepers

Coisum Cervical Pillow relieves neck and shoulder pain that most back sleepers are usually suffering from. Alleviating stiffness, numbness, and tingling, this pillow soothes away aches and sores, so you wake up well-rested and ready to take on the day. To add more, thanks to the high-quality memory foam that this pillow is using, you're offered medium-firm support that cradles the head, making sure that the same head is not sinking into the pillow. Meanwhile, the slope around the foam will be keeping the head from rolling out, whereas the side cutouts will be providing the top arm with a place to rest and keep it at the angle that ensures the shoulders aren't hunching over before you.

The cover, made from skin-friendly hypoallergenic polyester fiber, is nothing to sneeze at as well (pun intended), except that the seams on it are quite thick, so make sure you position the pillow right. Otherwise, you'll be feeling them throughout the night. What you'll also be feeling though is the cover's breathable surface that promotes air circulation and keeps the pillow cool throughout the same night.

Cradle Me Contour Memory Foam Pillow is an ergonomic sleeping pillow first and everything else second. With its contoured design, the pillow is able to support and align the head, neck, shoulders, and back. In other words, the pillow accommodates side, stomach, and back sleepers alike. Some might find it a tad low in the middle though, so we would recommend rotating the pillow the first few nights so that you can find and figure out the best, most comfortable spot. Featuring multiple heights, the pillow more than facilitates that, offering adjustable support.

Next is the pillowcase. Made from 100% polyester blend, the case's pleasant to the touch and easy on the skin. Furthermore, wicking away moisture, the case ensures the pillow remains breathable and does not start feeling stuffy in the middle of the night. Not unlike most covers nowadays, this one is removable and machine washable (avoid using hot water cycles though). Last but not least, the high-density memory foam inside this pillow does not lose its firmness and density with time, so you don't have to worry about the foam losing its "memory" properties.

In conclusion, with what Cradle Me is offering here, you can stop flipping, folding, and fighting the pillow and start improving the quality of your sleep right away.

Milemont Orthopedic Memory Foam Contour Pillow looks a lot less complicated than its neighbors on this list, right? To some extent, we believe that it is to the pillow's advantage. Sure, some individuals will find multiple heights, cutouts, and slopes quite comfortable but the more probable outcome is that most people will have a hard time getting used to these pillows' geometry, while the more plain-looking model that we're discussing here will present no such challenges. Plus, despite its plain appearance, the pillow provides even weight distribution, ensuring the healthiest spinal position and promoting long-term spinal health.

Moreover, the memory foam used here was calibrated using an Air Cell tech. Owing to this calibration approach, the foam keeps the neck in the healthiest position too, relieving stress from pressure points as well as providing proper neck support.

From where we're standing, things only get a little hairy when you look at the pillowcase. Hugging the pillow with excessive tightness, the case's difficult to don and remove.

Besides that, Milemont Orthopedic Memory Foam Contour Pillow is an affordable solution that might just be able to solve your lousy sleep issue.

Therapeutica Firm Orthopedic Support Pillow looks less like a pillow and more like something you might find in an orthopedist's office. Its design is quite unique, to say the least. As a result, it can take around a month to get used to this pillow.

When you do get used to it though, chances are, you will find that this pillow can restore your neck's natural curves, alleviating pressure and minimizing stiffness in the neck area. Due to its shape, the pillow will not be able to accommodate stomach sleepers but back and side sleepers will benefit from this one immensely.

The people behind Mkicesky Memory Foam Neck Pillow claim that this pillow will fit back, side, and stomach sleepers but, speaking from experience, most customers say that sleeping on a side or stomach with this pillow is not as comfortable as sleeping on a back, so we will not guarantee anything here.

But we can pretty much guarantee that the pillow will be conforming to your body's natural curve, supporting the head and neck and ensuring superior comfort. What's more, this orthopedic pillow will be able to reduce neck and back pains, alleviate shoulder stiffness, promote natural spine alignment, and accelerate muscle recovery.

On the filling front, the medium-firm foam, boasting memory properties, strikes the perfect balance between comfort and support, so you're not sinking into the pillow but you're also not feeling like the pillow is a little hard. More impressive (or, at the very least, more interesting) is that this slow-rebound memory foam is able to go back to the assumed shape in 3-5 seconds, which means that you can flip, fold, and roll around as much as you want, the pillow will not lose its form, so you, in turn, will not lose quality sleep time.

To give you the gist, as long as you sleep on your back most of the time, there's no reason not to go with this pillow, at least none that we can think of.
