The Best Tempur-Pedic Pillows Of 2023 For Back, Side & Stomach Sleepers

Meet Tempur-Pedic’s original ergonomic pillow i.e. the one that started the craze for plush supportive neck pillows–and holistic chiropractors are still recommending it after more than a decade. Not only does Sponaugle personally swears by the TEMPUR-Neck, but she also recommends it to her patients that sleep on their backs and sides. She told mbg, “I personally love the TEMPUR-Neck pillow. The TEMPUR® material and pillow structure give optimal support for the cervical spine. It also allows the rest of your spine to stay in alignment whether you sleep on your back or side and promotes natural spine alignment.” The best part? It’s one of the most affordable pillows on this list.

While the unique shape might be the first thing that sets this design apart, it's not the only thing. The pillow is made from a single slab of TEMPUR® material contained in a breathable, hypoallergenic case that's removable for washing. Instead of choosing your sizing base on bed, you select the small, medium, or large pillow based on your sleep position and the distance between your neck and shoulders.

What customers say:

With almost 4,000 reviews on the company website, people with neck pain are expressing how big of a difference this pillow makes in their daily lives. One user dotes that it was “love at first sleep”, while another explains how “this pillow has helped with my chronic neck pain and bulging disc. I can't sleep without it!” Across the board, you can tell from the over-the-moon reviews that back sleepers with neck pain are really benefiting from the pillow’s structure and support. It’s worth noting that a small fraction of reviewers felt the pillow was too firm, high, or hard for their liking.

For those among us who switch sleeping positions every hour on the hour, the TEMPUR-Symphony has your back, your side, and your front. Here's why it's one of the brand’s best-selling pillows: One side is gently arched for when you’re on your back, but flip it over, and you have a flatter side that’s perfect for side and stomach sleepers.

Though this pillow is the softest in the line up, it’s made with the same legendary TEMPUR® foam as the other models–just less of it! We love that flippable design provides a second option for picky sleepers struggling to find the right fit, as the brand doesn't offer a trial period. Another perk? The hypoallergenic cover zips off for easy washing.

What Customers Say:

This pillow has more than 1,000 5-star reviews on the company website from both side and stomach sleepers who love the softness and versatility of the design. A reviewer says, “I am a stomach and side sleeper so I bought this pillow and [it was] a perfect fit. It did take a few weeks to get used to having actual support from them. I wasn't sure if they were right, but after a few weeks, I really started to notice the difference in my sleep. I don't wake up with sore neck muscles and I can't even begin to explain how bad other pillows are now that I'm used to this pillow. I’m a lifelong customer!”

With a name like TEMPUR-Cloud, you can expect Tempur-Pedic's best-selling pillow to feel extraordinarily plush. Though side and back sleepers will love the ‘mid’ and ‘high’ height options of this pillow, the ProLo version is our top choice for stomach sleepers. It boasts a low profile that won't lift your head out of alignment from your neck with a plush, cradling material that supports your body when laying face down.

Like all picks on our list, it's made with pressure-relieving TEMPUR® material. The ultra soft pick has a supportive TEMPUR core sandwiched between two layers of TEMPUR micro-cushioning, which provides support without too much height (under 5.8 inches). The pillow is then encased in a washable cover that can easily be removed for cleaning.

What customers say:

Despite its no return policy, customers praise the TEMPUR-Cloud for its satisfying comfort levels with almost 1,000 5-star reviews on the company website. “I couldn't ask for a softer and better quality pillow. It has helped my sleep so much! It’s the best pillow ever”, one customer writes. Another specifically comments on their transformative sleep: “I have neck and spine problems, and [this pillow is] definitely my go-to for relief.”

As the name implies, the TEMPUR-Ergo’s ergonomic design cradles the neck and keeps the spine in alignment while keeping you cool. This model is similar to the TEMPUR-Neck pillow that we recommend for side and back sleepers, except this model has a layer of cooling gel on top of the TEMPUR® foam. This ensures hot sleepers stay asleep even as the temperatures rise.

Despite the added layer of gel, the pillow retains its ultra firm feel and supportive structure, which keeps the neck in line with the spine. As a result, it's still optimal for back and side sleepers.

What customers say:

While this pillow is one of the less reviewed options with about 300 ratings on Tempur-Pedic’s website, we still included it due to the unique cooling feature. Negative reviews mostly came from people who owned the TEMPUR-Neck pillow and were unimpressed by the addition of cooling technology. Some reviewers also felt that the pillow was too firm, as it only comes in one size regardless of neck length and sleep position. In contrast, plenty of shoppers say that this pillow is a total upgrade from the TEMPUR-Neck. One raves, “This pillow fixed my neck and back issues. The TEMPUR material, especially when combined with the cooling gel, is an absolute game changer.”

How does a pillow stop you from snoring, you ask? Well, the position you sleep in can affect whether or how much you snore. Since snoring mostly happens when you’re lying flat on your back, a pillow can prevent snoring by aligning your head and shoulders or keep you sleeping on your side. That’s where the best-selling TEMPUR-Cloud Adjustable Pillow comes in.

Since all bodies are built differently, this pillow has a stretchy inner liner and outer cover that lets you shape the pillow to your preference by removing, fluffing, scrunching, and nesting the fill into desired heigh. This personalization ensures it suits ever every sleeper, from back snoozers to starfishers. Of course, you may also want to check out the Tempur-Neck Pillow if you want something ultra firm to prevent snoring, as it was feature on our list of the best anti-snore pillows.

What Customers Say:

There are almost 1,000 reviews on Tempur-Pedic’s website for this adjustable pick. Sleepers love the comfort and customizability of the design with one shopper saying, “This pillow has dramatically reduced my snoring. According to my wife, it’s cut my snoring by over 75%. Thanks for possibly saving my marriage!” Another writes, “The search is over. This pillow was so perfect I bought four. One for my wife and I, and two for years from now when it's time to get new pillows.” It’s good to note that some reviewers felt that the filling was still too firm even when adjusted, which make cause issues for side sleepers seeking more pressure relief.
