There’s nothing like waking up refreshed after a good night’s sleep. Not only do you look and feel ready to take on the world but getting adequate shuteye (experts suggest seven hours or more for adults) has big health benefits from boosting your mood to helping you maintain a healthy weight to improving heart health. And to maximize your snooze, you’ll need the right sleeping aids—a compatible mattress, cozy sheets and comforter, and of course the ideal pillow on which to lay your head.

When choosing a pillow, it’s important to consider what’s inside of it. Two great options: goose down and down-alternative filling. “For those who seek weightless warmth, down is a natural insulator, maintains loft, and instantly adjusts to your body temperature for maximum breathability and comfort year-round,” says Connie Babikian, president of The Pillow Bar. Down alternative is a synthetic material that simulates the feeling of down. “If you prefer a manmade and more affordable option that is hypoallergenic, this is for you,” she says.

Then it’s time to factor in which pillow design will best meet your needs. When choosing, remember that the goal is to keep your head aligned with your spine throughout the night, so knowing your sleep style (take note of how you wake up) helps avoid things like neck pain, says Babikian. “It’s important to ensure that the chin is not tilted back or down,” she says. A side sleeper requires a firmer pillow to fill space between their head and the mattress. Sleep on your tummy? Go for something flat and soft. And if you rest best on you back, she recommends the support of a medium-fill pillow.

To help you find the perfect pillow, we rounded top-rated picks from places like Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond, side sleepers, goose-down alternatives, and more. Time to rest assured!
