If there’s one thing that never sleeps, it’s online advertisements for pillows. Whether you’re scrolling through Instagram, chatting on Facebook or learning new recipes on TikTok — you’re probably seeing ads for pillows. Lots of them.
With so many options, it can be overwhelming to know what will be your perfect pillow. And as you can’t physically try them out, you have to go by photos, reviews and articles to guide you.
To help cut through the noise, we picked six of the most popular and most comfortable pillows you can find on the web. Most of them have gone viral on TikTok (with reviews saying they live up to the hype) and others come from Instagram ads or Reddit recommendations. Each comes with thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of 5-star reviews, singing the praises of each option.
We’ll break down what makes each pillow different, why it might be for you and even link to videos of happy sleepers. So kick your heels up and lay your head knowing you’re getting all the info.

What: The Beckham hotel collection bed pillows aren’t just famous on TikTok, they’re also consistently a top-selling item at HuffPost. Interior designer Natalie Rebuck previously called the pillow “fluffy,” and noted that “they really hold up over the years.” A 250-thread count cotton cover makes them super soft and snuggly while the polyester fill is responsive to your head and shoulders and breathable. Great for all styles of sleepers (back, stomach, side), they keep their shape and feel super plush. They can also go in the washer and dryer for easy cleaning and re-fluffing. Find them in queen and king sizes.
Great for: Hot sleepers, people wanting down alternative, anyone who prefers a super plush pillow, stocking your guest room or rental property.

“When you get sick of replacing pillows every few months do yourself a big favor and Try COOP Pillows.

“They received a number one rating in the consumer reports report in 2024 so I figured I would try. They are great, wonderful support, I used to wake up with a stiff neck, not anymore.

Positive reviews: “I didn’t know if I would like this pillow but after seeing it a billion times on tiktok i thought I would try it out. It is so comfortable, stays cool, and is well worth the money. The little dip in the middle just fits my head so nicely. It is easy to fall asleep with this pillow.” — Haley
“I bought this after seeing tiktoks about ergonomic pillows and I was skeptical to try, but I don’t regret it. I’ve never slept so comfortably in my life that I can actually sleep through the night. I definitely recommend to help with back/neck pain when sleeping. I would definitely buy another one to have as my second pillow.” — Taylor D
“I bought this around 6 months ago after seeing a ton of people raving about it online. I have always had issues with knots in my shoulders and tension headaches. It provides really good support for my neck and I feel like I wake up with less pain. I like that the insert has different parts you can remove to adjust the height and that the cover is washable. It’s maybe a little warmer than a traditional pillow but nothing too bad. I would definitely buy again!” — Amazon customer
“Best pillow ever!! I would change the name to Miracle pillow. My neck and shoulders were sore for months and after one night of sleeping my pain was gone. After 1 week still great. Highly recommend.” — Christina
What: Mattress company Casper’s original pillow is as beloved as all their other products. It’s a down alternative pillow with a 100% breathable percale cotton cover that can go in the washing machine and is great for all styles of sleepers. The innovative pillow-in-pillow design makes it easy to clean and super supportive with a two-inch gusset for even weight distribution as you slumber and strong neck alignment. It’s on the pricier side of the list, but reviewers say it’s worth it as it’s bouncy nature moves with you if you’re tossing or turning.
Great for: People who move a lot in their sleep, people who know and like the Casper brand, anyone looking for a little firmness and superior support.

Promising reviews: “I was so skeptical to fall into the scheme of advertisements on Instagram for this pillow but I’m so glad I gave it a try. Given it’s probably not for everyone I can honestly say I feel like I really missed out on some good sleep all this time ! This pillow is not too soft not too hard just like the advertisements say my neck feels supported and I feel so refreshed ! I was not given anything for this review- I would absolutely pay full price for this pillow if I had to.” — Joyce
“This pillow is amazing. It’s nice and fluffy, which was a little concerning at first because I like my pillow to be a tad firm, and at first it seemed too flat. When I looked online at reviews I discovered the brand posted a video specifically about how to fluff the pillow and let me tell you… This was a game changer. Now it’s fluffy, yet supportive. Moldable but a bit firm. And when it gets a little flat again you just need to fluff it up and you’re good to go once more!” — Kymbee8
“I didn’t realize it has been nearly 5 years since I first received this pillow. It is the best pillow I have ever had.” — lr
“Best pillow I have ever purchased. Its fluffy, soft, but firm and holds its shape. This pillow has a removable outer layer for easy washing and provides great neck and shoulder support.” — Elena carrasquillo
