The pillow you use can make or break your sleep. With so many pillows out there to choose from, though, it can be difficult to figure out which one will give your head and neck the comfort and support needed for pain-free slumber.
Saatva offers a range of luxury, hotel-quality pillows that are incredibly plush and supportive. Our flagship pillow is the
Hotel-quality comfort with responsive & ultra-breathable support
, which is made with natural, organic latex, an eco-friendly foam that’s pressure-relieving, hypoallergenic, breathable, and durable.
There are plenty of other direct-to-consumer mattress and bedding brands that sell foam pillows, but in our humble opinion, their quality doesn’t come anywhere close to ours.

Saatva Latex Pillow main features
The Saatva Latex Pillow is a premium pillow with a three-layer design that offers excellent comfort and support for most sleep styles.
First, it features a shredded natural latex core for responsive head and neck support. Natural latex is recommended by chiropractors and orthopedists for its ability to contour and provide buoyant support. Additionally, latex is hypoallergenic, dust mite- and mildew-resistant, and more breathable than synthetic foams.
Next, the pillow itself is organic cotton filled with plush and down-like microdenier fiber. The fill is hypoallergenic and breathable. This can help result in cooler, more restful sleep.
Finally, the outer pillow cover is made with organic cotton in a sateen weave. It’s soft, breathable, and wicks away moisture for cooler sleep. The sides are gusseted with contrast welting to help keep the shape of the pillow.
The cover is also machine washable—simply unzip the cover, remove the latex core, and machine wash the cover. We recommend washing the cover twice a year.
The unique three-layer design of the pillow promotes proper spinal alignment for most sleep styles. It offers both solidity and softness while still providing enough height to satisfy side sleepers, who need to fill in the gap between head and shoulder. The inner layer of shredded natural latex adjusts to almost any sleep position.
Saatva Latex Pillow costs $165 for a queen, which is in line with what you’ll pay for a high-quality luxury pillow. All Saatva pillows come with free shipping and returns. You have 45 nights to try the pillow and decide if it’s right for you.
MyPillow Premium at a glance

- Filled with shredded polyurethane foam
- Cotton cover
- Comes in four loft and firmness levels
- Machine washable
- 60-day money-back guarantee and 10-year warranty
- $12.95 for standard shipping or $19.98 for expedited shipping
- Costs $59.98 for a queen and $69.98 for a king at the time of publication
MyPillow Premium main features
MyPillow Premium is a budget, as-seen-on TV pillow with a core made up of shredded polyurethane foam, a synthetic material. Synthetic foam tends to sleep warmer than foam made of natural material, like latex.
According to Mattress Clarity, a review site, MyPillow Premium is lumpy and tends to flatten out over time, especially in the area around the back of your head. So you may need to put it in the dryer and re-fluff it every few days so it has enough loft for you to sleep comfortably.
What’s more, Mattress Clarity notes that the big chunks of foam in the filling can be felt through the pillow’s thin cotton cover. This can make it harder to get a good night’s sleep.
MyPillow Premium comes in four loft and firmness levels to suit different sleep positions. The options are color-coded: Yellow (least firm), White (medium fill), Green (more fill), and Blue (most firm).
The company recommends choosing a color based on your T-shirt size and shoulder width for optimal comfort. For example, a small woman would choose Yellow, while a medium man would choose White.
MyPillow Premium is easy to clean. You can put it in the washing machine and dryer. The company recommends washing it every four months. Keep in mind that wet foam can tear.
When you order MyPillow Premium from the company’s website, you’ll have to pay $12.95 for standard shipping or $19.98 for expedited shipping. You have 60 nights to try the pillow and decide if it’s right for you. If you return it, you’ll get a full refund minus shipping costs.
Casper Foam Pillow at a glance
- Available in two sizes: standard (16″ x 24″ with a 1.25″ gusset) and king (16″ x 34″ with a 1.25″ gusset)
- Three layers of polyurethane foam
- Perforated foam
- Washable polyester and Spandex cover
- 30-night home trial and one-year limited warranty
- Free shipping and returns
- Costs $89 for a standard and $119 for a king at the time of publication
- Optional $50 add-on for cooling layer
Casper Foam Pillow main features
The Casper Foam Pillow is a mid-range pillow with a three-layer design. The pillow is made up of a blend of synthetic foams (77% polyurethane foam and 23% viscoelastic polyurethane). Synthetic foam isn’t as breathable or durable as foam made of natural material, like latex. Casper’s foam is perforated to allow for more airflow.
The cover is also synthetic (88% polyester and 22% Spandex). There is an optional $50 cooling layer (which has an outer and inner component) you can order for cooler sleep.
According to Sleepopolis, a review site, the Casper Foam Pillow feels firm with a medium loft. Sleepopolis says this pillow would be ideal for back and side sleepers but may not be as comfortable for stomach sleepers. It’s also not moldable since it’s made from a single block of foam.
Casper Foam Pillow costs $89 for a standard or $119 for a king (which works out to $139 for a standard with the optional cooling layer or $169 for a king with the optional cooling layer). All Casper pillows come with free shipping and returns. You have 30 nights to try the pillow and decide if it’s right for you.
Key differences between Saatva vs. MyPillow vs. Casper pillows
Pillow filling
The Saatva Latex Pillow is filled with shredded natural latex, which is breathable, hypoallergenic, and durable. Natural latex also offers responsive support for your head and neck. Because latex is a responsive material, it retains its shape very well.
Both the MyPillow Premium and Casper Foam Pillow are filled with synthetic polyurethane foams, which aren’t as breathable or durable as natural latex.
MyPillow Premium, in particular, tends to get lumpy because it’s filled with chunks of foam. The Casper Foam Pillow is a single block of foam, which means it’s not moldable around your head.
Outer cover
The Saatva Latex Pillow is covered with organic cotton, which is soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic.
MyPillow Premium has a thin cotton cover (not organic), while the Casper Foam Pillow has a synthetic cover made from a blend of polyester and Spandex. With Casper, you have the option of adding a $50 cooling component, which includes an outer layer.
Sleep positions
The Saatva Latex Pillow has a unique three-layer design that promotes proper spinal alignment for most sleep styles. It offers both solidity and softness while still creating enough height to satisfy side sleepers, who need to fill in the gap between head and shoulder. The inner layer of shredded natural latex adjusts to almost any sleep position.
MyPillow offers different fills and firmnesses to accommodate different sleep styles. The Casper Foam Pillow is recommended for back and side sleepers but may feel too firm for stomach sleepers.
Shipping, home trial, and returns
The Saatva Latex Pillow comes with free shipping and returns. You get a 45-night home trial to decide if it’s right for you.
MyPillow Premium comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee, but they make you pay for shipping and returns. The Casper Foam Pillow comes with free shipping and returns. You get a 30-night home trial to decide if it’s right for you.
Cost
The Saatva Latex Pillow is a luxury, hotel-quality pillow. Therefore, it comes with a higher price tag than the MyPillow Premium and Casper Foam Pillow.
But a high-quality pillow made of premium, natural materials will last you longer and be more comfortable than an inexpensive foam pillow made from synthetic materials.

The Casper Foam Pillow provides decent head and neck support for back and side sleepers but may be too firm for stomach sleepers.
Which pillow is best for sleeping?
All pillows should provide consistent support for your head and neck while you sleep in your preferred sleep position. It should be able to fill the gap between your neck, shoulders, and head even when you move in your sleep, to keep your head in a neutral position.
As for the pillow fill, that comes down to personal preference. Some people like the responsiveness of latex, while others may prefer the contouring of memory foam or the softness of down or down alternative.
Which pillow is best for side and back sleepers?
Back sleepers will do best on a thinner to medium-thick pillow. This will keep your head, neck, and spine properly aligned. Side sleepers need a slightly thicker, firmer pillow for optimal alignment. An extra-wide gusset can be helpful by adding to the pillow’s overall thickness.
