The Good Housekeeping Research Institute recently conducted a test on 66 different types of pillows in search of those they thought was the most “snooze-worthy”. Their testing for top quality pillows included compressing, washing and inspecting of pillows stuffed with fiberfill, down, foam, wool, and a combination of materials. Their findings were quite interesting:

The top pick in the Fiberfill pillow category was the Aller-Ease Washable Allergy Protection Pillow.

For the best Down & Feather Pillow, the washable Lands’ End Essential Goose Down Pillow came in first place.

In the Foam Pillow Category, the Leggett & Platt Home Collection Brisa Pillow came highly recommended, bouncing back to it’s original shape after a night under 30 pounds of weight. The Cannon Ventilated Contour Pillow also passed the same pressure test.

The winner in the Wool Pillow category was the Natura All Season Wool Pillow, made with a soft, unbleached 100% cotton covering.

For the best Down/Foam Combo Pillow, the Stearns & Foster Down Caress Pillow ranked number one.

Think of it: gone are the days when you could get a good mattress for $150.
