Tuft & Needle's Zip Comfort Pillow is the budget pick, and it still lets you adjust. Instead of removing fill by hand, you open or close two zippers along the side to choose a soft, medium or firm feel, which is a simpler routine than the loose-fill pillows above it. The fill is a blend of 60% shredded foam and 40% fiber inside a 100% cotton sateen cover quilted in a chevron pattern to help the pillow keep its shape. Tuft & Needle sells it with a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping and returns, and a 2-year limited warranty. The queen was $56 when we checked, against $70 regular, the lowest verified price on this list. The trade-offs are a plain rectangular shape with no shoulder cutout, a shorter warranty than most picks, and spot-clean-only care. For a side sleeper with mild neck pain, the firm setting is the place to start.
