Our favorite cooling pillow, the Coop Home Goods Eden Adjustable Pillow, scored almost perfectly during our cooling pillow test. We loved that the pillow worked for multiple sleeping positions (side and stomach) and stayed cool all night without flipping or readjusting. Plus, just like the name promises, it’s completely adjustable—add or remove the cooling-gel-infused filling to find the right fit.

Sleep Number

Like the rest of Sleep Number’s True Temp line—which uses specialized technology for temperature balancing—the brand’s weighted blanket stays cool all night while still providing the warmth and comfort you expect from high-quality bedding. While you might be worried that a weighted blanket will leave you sweating, this one absorbs body heat and dissipates it but still leaves you warm when needed. It’s available in 12- and 20-pound weights.

Body pillows are a great way to get extra support while you sleep, helping to align your spine and even helping relieve knee, neck, and shoulder pain. We were impressed that the Utopia Bedding Full Body Pillow stayed fluffy without sinking or flattening during our at-home body pillow test, thanks to its design that holds its shape all night.

Saatva

When we tested the best mattresses for back pain, we called the Saatva Zenhaven Natural Latex Mattress one of the softest mattresses we’ve ever slept on. This double-sided mattress offers two modes of comfort—“luxury plush” and “gentle firm”—perfectly suited to your back pain. Plus, Saatva offers a 365-night guarantee so you can make sure it's just right.

It’s no surprise that this fan-favorite brand took the top spot in our test of the best mattresses for side sleepers. Side sleepers need extra support at night to keep the body aligned, and that’s exactly what the Casper Original Hybrid Mattress delivered. We loved how this mattress conformed to our bodies and offered full support right to the edges, which can be a saggy area in most other mattresses.

This hybrid mattress has two foam layers and a coil innerspring for comfort and support. While foam mattresses can be hot, the Casper Original Hybrid's breathable perforated layer kept the mattress cool all night.
