Eli & Elm Side Sleeper Pillow review

Eli & Elm's Side Sleeper Pillow is the most specialized design on this list. Its U-shaped curve lets the lower shoulder sit in the contour of the pillow while the head and neck stay level, which Eli & Elm says reduces strain on the cervical spine. You choose the fill when you order: a latex option made of 75% cooling Dunlop latex noodle and 25% polyester fiber, or a softer option with 75% shredded memory foam. A zippered liner lets you add or remove fill up to a maximum loft of 6 inches, and extra fill is sold as an add-on. The queen measures 18 by 28 inches. The cover is machine washable, but the fill must not go in the washer or dryer. The queen was $114.99 on sale when we checked, against $135.99 original, which puts it near the top of this list on price. A 45-day return policy is shorter than Coop's.
