I’m a combination sleeper and that’s why I know how hard it is to find a pillow that fits all the positions I get in.

I’ve shuffled through many good pillows for combination sleepers, and some were good for back and side sleeping but not for stomach and so on.But hope isn’t lost. Through trial and error, I’ve managed to find the best pillows for combination sleepers that shift from one position to another as fast and frequently as I did.

Without further ado, here’s the list.

Best Pillows for Combination Sleepers

1. Coop Home Goods’ Eden Pillow

Materials

The Coop Home Goods’ Eden Pillow is made of shredded memory foam and you get it with a bamboo-mix pillow cover.

Shredded memory foam beats the standard type as it can easily be shaped to fit the specific user.

Moreover, it’s very breathable, and with the help of the bamboo pillow cover, you’ll get more than enough breathability.

Adjustability

The great thing about it is that it will provide both your head and neck with the support you need whatever sleeping position you choose.

To maximize adjustability, the bamboo-mix cover can be unzipped to let the user add or remove foam according to their loft preference. This makes it one of the best pillows for combination sleepers.

Cleanliness

Furthermore, the hypoallergenic feature with CertiPUR-US certified foam means that it's free of any heavy metals, ozone depleters, or any other toxic chemicals.

Keeping the Coop Home Goods’ Eden clean was an easy job as the cover is removable and machine-washable.

Warranty

Finally, with a 5-year warranty and almost a 3-month trial period, you can rest assured that you won’t be wasting your money and its relatively higher price tag shouldn’t steer you away.

Pros:

  • Highly adjustable
  • Machine-washable cloth
  • Solid shape retention
  • Very durable

Cons:

  • Can produce some odor
  • Takes a long time to dry

Bottom line:

Although the Coop Home Goods’ Eden Pillow is a little on the expensive side, it’s pretty comfortable and gives you a 100-day trial.

So you can test it for over 3 months to make sure it’s the one that suits you, or return it for a refund.

2. The Pancake Pillow’s Adjustable Layer Pillow

Materials

The Pancake Pillow features a microfiber fill –a great alternative to traditional filling that still gives you the same fluffiness.

However, the fact that it's neither a memory foam or gel fill means that it'll probably lose a little loft over time –explains the 6 layers.

Adjustability

The Pancake Pillow is quite user-adjustable and will fit you perfectly. The six thin layers can be adjusted or removed from the large pillow cover according to your preference.

You can just experiment with different heights until you find the one that suits you the most.

The only problem is the process of adjusting the height can be a drag and definitely a pain while sleeping.

If you like to switch positions every night, you could just adjust it before bed. However, if you need to adjust your pillow several times during sleep, it wouldn’t be the best option.

 

Cleanliness

The Pancake Pillow has a synthetic fill, so it's hypoallergenic. Forget about the pillow harboring dust mites or anything similar.

Pros:

  • Equipped with a stacking feature
  • Provides consistent support
  • Easy to clean
  • 30-day money-back guarantee

Cons:

  • Fitting all 6 layers in the pillowcase can be a little difficult

Bottom line:

There’s no doubt that the Pancake Pillow’s Adjustable Layer Pillow is very flexible in terms of how thick or thin it can get.

However, it’s not the easiest to adjust and simultaneously fitting all 6 layers is even more difficult.

3. Luxuredown Goose Down Pillow

Luxuredown White Goose Down Pillow

Materials

Being a down pillow means that it’s made from animal products –specifically goose.

While many feather-filled pillows tend to be too soft to support many sleeping positions, the Luxuredown Goose Down Pillow is actually pretty versatile.

Adjustability

It has a fill power of 650, so it’s more on the medium-firm side.

Personally, I found that it’s the best down pillow that I tried for combination sleeping. However, not the best in general.

Cleanliness

Being a down pillow made from goose means that it’s not hypoallergenic.

Although it’s still superior to other down options in terms of how easy it is to clean, it can’t hold a candle to synthetic ones.

Pros:

  • 100% cotton sateen provides ultra-soft and absorbent lining
  • More durable than synthetic foam
  • Doesn’t produce any odors

Cons:

  • The very high price tag
  • Not very versatile as it’s more suitable for back and side sleepers

Bottom line:

While the Luxuredown Goose Down Pillow isn’t the most affordable and not good for all positions, it does an amazing job at the positions that it’s good for.

If you’re a back or side sleeper, it’ll be worth every penny.

4. UTTU Sandwich Pillow

Materials

Its dynamic foam filling is not the typical filling, but it stayed supportive and very comfortable throughout the whole year.

On top of that, it didn’t get softer with warmth or stiffer with cold –the consistency is quite impressive.

The removable middle layer of the foam can be adjusted by unzipping the cover and removing the centerpiece to increase or reduce the height of the pillow

Adjustability

The fact that it’s a contour pillow means that it offers specialized support for a variety of positions.

Affordability

A good night’s sleep shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg, right? The UTTU Sandwich Pillow gave me just the comfort I needed for various sleeping positions without breaking the bank.

Cleanliness

Speaking of unzipping the cover, you can remove it to wash it. It’s even machine-washable to maximize the easiness of cleaning.

Pros:

  • Supportive and comfortable
  • Cover is machine-washable
  • Highly affordable

Cons:

  • Not very big
  • Packs some odor that lingers after unpacking

Bottom line:

After the odor that accompanied the UTTU Sandwich Pillow faded away, I really enjoyed the comfort it provided at its affordable price.

5. WonderSleep Premium Adjustable Loft

WonderSleep Premium Adjustable Loft

Materials

Adjustability

The foam that fills the WonderSleep Premium Adjustable Loft is completely adjustable as you can take out or put in as much as you want to perfectly fit your needs.

I loved how specific the adjustments could get to suit whatever position best supported my neck and back.

You can even adjust where the foam sits and fluff the pillow to even it out.

On top of that, the high-quality foam is finely-shredded to keep its cool.

Affordability

With all the great features packed into the WonderSleep Premium Adjustable Loft, it was a positive surprise to find that I could get two for under 100 bucks.

Cleanliness

By simply unzipping and removing the cover, you can toss the cover in your washing machine for the most seamless cleaning process.

Pros:

  • Easy to adjust
  • Stays clean with a machine-washable cover
  • Combines breathability and support
  • 1-year warranty

Cons:

  • Available in only one size

Bottom line:

This combination sleepers pillow hits the ideal combination in many ways. Not only does it fit a variety of sleeping positions, but it’s also affordable, comfortable, and supportive.

6. Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft

Materials

The Coop Home Goods Loft is filled with a proprietary mix of shredded viscoelastic memory foam whose adjustability is quite easy to control.

Adjustability

Although it doesn’t escape the shredded foam’s lumpy feel, it’s still adjustable to whatever consistency you need.

It's as versatile as it can get. You can take out some of the fillings to fit stomach sleeping or add it to fit back and side support.

Cleanliness

The cover is 60% polyester and 40% bamboo to provide it with breathability. It’s also machine-washable so there’s no hassle keeping it clean.

 

It also doesn’t produce any odors as it’s CertiPUR-US certified.

Pros:

  • Machine-washable cover
  • Seamless adjustment process
  • 5-year warranty and 30-day trial period
  • Highly breathable

Cons:

  • Not the most affordable
  • Doesn’t maintain coolness

Bottom line:

The Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft does an adequate job at combining affordability and comfort.

Its 5-year warranty gives it a great advantage while the 30-day trial period gives you more than enough time to decide whether or not it's the right one for you.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

A combination sleeper is someone who shifts regularly from one position to another. Usually, using a combination of back, side, and stomach sleeping during one night.

The main types are shredded memory foam, adjustable pancake (microfiber fill), and gel fiber pillows. Although there are down ones which are made from animal products.

 

Shredded memory foam pillows are best for head and neck support and are generally reasonably-priced. They’re also the best at keeping a balance between softness and firmness.

Pancake ones provide you with the most adjustability but can compress over time. They’re also a little more costly.

Finally, gel fiber ones are basically a modern take on traditional down pillows. They’re plush and comfy, and with enough care, they can be very durable. Most importantly, they provide you with the most breathability.

 

Combination sleeping isn’t better than singular sleep positions, but it can provide you with better blood circulation.

While it’s not incorrect to hold only one position, switching it up can provide you with comfort according to your needs.

How to pick the right combination sleeper pillow for you?

Basically, you should look for 3 criteria. Adjustability, material, and cleanliness.

Adjustability

The degree of adjustability can vary from one combination pillow to another. Some only offer height adjustability, while others give you full control by having a removable filling that you can spread around specific areas.

Materials

You should check how flexible the material you get is and how it conforms to the shape of your neck and head.

Microfiber is the most adjustable and will mold perfectly to your shape.

But you may need something more firm like gel or shredded memory foam.

Although you should know that the latter is prone to be compressed over time.

Cleanliness

This depends on the cover and its fabric.

A higher thread number means fewer impurities and a guarantee that your filling won't escape.

Moreover, some covers are machine-washable to make maintenance easier.

A recommended choice is a dust and mite-resistant cover.

Final Thoughts

While the best choice will definitely depend on your personal needs and preferences, I can recommend the UTTU Sandwich Pillow for its affordability and versatility.

Although if you’ve got the budget for it, the Coop Home Goods’ Eden Pillow easily takes the cake as it’s very adjustable and comfortable.

For a combination of both utility and affordability, the WonderSleep Premium Adjustable Loft would be a good choice.
