How we test
- We sleep on each pillow for several weeks, not one night: the first few nights of adjustment often skew the verdict.
- We note what actually matters: neck support, height, firmness, heat, sleep positions and care.
- We read public customer reviews (Trustpilot, forums) to check whether our experience is typical.
- We check the buying terms: how the price works, delivery, the time limit and cost of a return, official sites and imitations.
What we don't do
We don't give medical advice. The pillows we test are comfort products. If you have persistent pain, sleep apnoea or a diagnosed neck condition, speak to your GP or a physiotherapist.
