Lack of concentration, impatience or bad mood are often due to lack of sleep. So that you can sleep relaxed in the future, we recommend four high-performance side sleeper pillows below.

A side sleeper pillow is ideal for preventing back and neck pain at an early stage. According to “betten.de”, around 68 percent of all people sleep on their side. 38 percent are on the right and 30 percent on the left side of the body. With such a large number of side sleepers, the large number of specially shaped pillows for optimal sleep is not surprising. Nevertheless, many people complain of neck or back pain after waking up. A good side sleeper pillow should remedy these inconveniences. After reviewing numerous offers, we would like to introduce you to four pillows, all of which have been rated at least four out of five possible stars on Amazon.

The choice of pillow should primarily depend on personal needs. Anyone who complains of back and knee problems in the morning needs a rectangular pillow that stabilizes the upper body and prevents the knees from lying on top of each other at night.

In the case of particularly severe problems with neck tension, a pillow in the form of a seven is recommended. This pillow can be used as a pillow, but at the same time offers stable support for the upper body and thus relieves the spine.

There are also pillows with a butterfly shape, which are particularly suitable for particularly restless sleepers. The shape ensures that the neck is relaxed in every sleeping position.

However, the filling of the pillow should not be left unnoticed either. A cotton filling can absorb sweat particularly well with a view to the hot summer nights. Polyester fibers, on the other hand, are well suited when it comes to breathability and allergy prevention.

A special feature are fillings made of so-called memory foam. These “remember” the sleeping position in which the sleeper is lying and are therefore immediately ready for use again without having to be reshaped.

The last purchase criterion is the reference. Of course, this should be washable, but also feel soft and comfortable. Because a scratchy or too cool cover can quickly spoil your sleep.

For this comparison, a specialist editor from our partner CHIP.de examined test reports from other publications as well as the most popular offers (“best sellers”) and customer opinions from online retailers. Based on this, the product selection was made. For the selection of the top devices, models with more than four stars and a reasonably high number of ratings come into question. A selection of customer reviews was read and devices were selected that, based on the professional assessment, meet the needs of the users. The products have not been tested in the CHIP test center.
