This Editor-Favorite Foam Pillow Is Half the Price of the Fancier Brands and on Major Sale Right Now
The 21st century certainly has its disadvantages. Amid skyrocketing temperatures and an abundance of tiny (but not always affordable) apartments, it can be easy to feel emotionally drained. Sometimes, however, I think about how our forebears had it much worse in many ways. For example, it used to be common practice for pillows and mattresses to be stuffed with straw, animal hair, and other not comfortable materials. In remembering this, I feel blessed to live in a time of so much technological and textile innovation. Not only do I not have to wake up at the crack of dawn to work on the farm, I’m also not subjected to backache-inducing sleep on a lumpy sack beforehand. If anything, the plethora of cooling, moisture-wicking, foam, organic, and further customizable bedding essentials on the market practically prohibits anything but a relaxing night’s rest.
What’s more, AT editors are constantly testing and sharing different home products in a variety of categories, including bedding, to help you determine the best fit for your own space. Not too long ago, AT commerce managing editor Ivy Ford tried out Tuft & Needle’s original foam pillow, and it completely changed the way she sleeps. “I found myself actually excited to go to sleep because I love my Tuft & Needle so much,” she wrote. “At $100, it’s still an investment purchase, but at a much more affordable price point than some options that run upwards of $150 — and the quality is seriously top-notch.” Now, you can actually get the original foam pillow for $85 instead of $100.
What makes this pillow a standout even amid pricier alternatives is that its firm, adaptive foam material conforms to your body, providing support all night long. Tuft & Needle customers appear to be nothing short of pleased with their purchases. “I’m kind of stunned at how great this pillow is,” one buyer wrote. “I am a back and side sleeper, and it’s hard to find a pillow that’s good for both, but I’m super happy with it.” When Ivy slept on the original foam pillow, she found that it somehow managed to hold her head and neck in a comfortable position, yet it was soft enough to sink into. “If you’re looking for a medium-firm or a medium-plush feel, this is a perfect pick,” she shared. Additionally, the pillow contains graphite and cooling gel beads that pull heat away, and its smooth cover is super breathable. It seems like this product has it all. Don’t miss out while it’s on sale!
