We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the Casper pillow, since its pillow-in-pillow design sparked a ton of competitors.

This long, twisty tube can be moved into whatever position you see fit, whether you’re pregnant or just looking for a comfier way to bed-rot.

The outside is made from ultra-smooth Tencel lyocell fibers that get softer with every wash, and are also 100% recyclable. We recommend adding a pillow cover for extra comfort and style.
