Access to the content on our site is completely free, and readers don’t need to pay anything to read our guides, reviews, tips, and rankings.
We have taken the following measures to ensure that affiliate relationships that we have with other brands and companies do not have any influence on the content on our site:
– Our writers and other members of the editorial team are not aware of the relationships that we have with specific companies and brands so that everything on our website is completely unbiased.
– We never compel our writers to give intentionally favorable or unfavorable ratings and reviews to any model or brand as our goal is to provide honest, objective and accurate ratings that will benefit the readers. Our affiliate relationships never influence our opinion of the product, and we will never write a positive review just because we were told to.
– All of us are sleep geeks, and we love testing sleeping products ourselves. If we can test a particular model ourselves, we definitely will, and we will write a review based on our experience and unbiased opinion. If we can’t get our hands on an actual product, we will form our ratings based on verified customer experience from a variety of online sources, or interviews with customers. We will never base our opinions about specific models and brands on communications with the employees of the company that makes them.
If you have any questions about our reviews, ratings, sleep guides, and other content on our site, don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
At Counting Sheep, we are dedicated to delivering accurate, up-to-date information about sleep health, sleep research, and sleep products.

Our team of experts receives new feedback every day. Learn how Counting Sheep researches products, collects information and generates performance ratings.
Our Sources
We use the following general sources to generate our data, product reviews and ratings:
Forums and Discussion Boards
Around 35% of our data is based on customer experiences, and reviews posted online on different web forums and discussion boards. Research starts by searching for a product review and reading relevant threads within various online communities of all sizes. After reading, our team collects and verifies all information to ensure it’s valid and pertinent to our research.
Retail Product Pages
Around 30% of our data also comes from customer reviews posted to online product pages. We take into consideration online retailers such as Amazon.com, but also B&M brands that sell sleep products and have a strong online presence, such as Target or Walmart. Each review is checked to ensure it’s not fake or that the author has not been compensated for writing it.
Product Review Websites
Around 22% of our data comes from sleep product review websites. Fake or dishonest online reviews sites are not taken into consideration. Our team checks this by finding out whether the owner of the website receives compensation for highlighting certain brands or models or not. Our rule is to avoid sites like these and focus on websites that provide legitimate and objective information and authentic, unaffiliated reviews.
Publicly Available Information
Our data consists of publicly available information; however, we believe it’s important to emphasize that our team of experts never takes into consideration product descriptions or advertising claims that come from brands and product manufacturers. The only information we actually use is detailed product specifications because they help us create accurate brand and model profiles. The details include the following:
- Material composition
- Country of manufacture
- Available sizes
- Product availability
- Price
- Length, width, and thickness dimensions
- Care instructions
- Weight
- Shipping and delivery policies
- Sleep trial and return policies (if available)
- Warranty information
In-House Product Testing
We currently don’t have in-house testing, but we are planning to use a testing facility in the future for validating the above-gathered customer experience data.
What is NOT included in our data set?
We never use user-submitted reviews. We strongly encourage all visitors to share their experiences with us. However, since it’s hard to validate user-submitted claims, we cannot incorporate these reviews into our rating system.

Whether its everyday stress, major life events, or just too much screen time, most people aren’t getting enough quality sleep. In getting some refreshing shut-eye, your pillow choice can help make a difference.
Accordingly, some of the most popular for those wanting to upgrade where they rest their head every night are contoured pillows made out of memory foam. These types of pillows are ideal for those dealing with neck pain.
People are drawn to memory foam for all sorts of different reasons, but one of the biggest attractions is the way the material conforms to pressure.
Memory foam is engineered to cradle you in a way that helps your head to stay in healthy alignment with your spine. It is also built to be durable, resilient, and support you all night long without caving in over the course of your slumber.
Memory Foam Pillow
Memory foam is a special type of material which reacts to temperature and pressure which causes it to mold and conform to shape accordingly.
Therefore, the foam creates a mold around the shape of your head, neck, shoulders, ears and any other body part which it comes into contact with when it comes to sleeping on bed pillows.
The traditional and most common type of foam is polyurethane, also known as viscoelastic foam. There is also another variant which includes a portion of gel, but this type has thousands of small gel beads in its mix.
The gel memory foam pillow is newer on the scene, slightly more expensive, and has its benefits over its peers through lesser heat retention thus allowing a more cooling sleep surface.
Urban legend has it that NASA invented memory foam in the 1970s to cushion the astronauts on space flights.
While NASA says that it did have a hand in the development of memory foam, Charles Yost is credited with the invention while under contract with NASA in 1966 to use in airplanes.
The viscosity of the foam allows your body heat to soften the pillow which supports your head, helping alleviate neck and back pain.
Based on the heat from your body, Memory foam pillows work and soften into the ideal shape to support your head and neck. There are several ways to use a memory foam pillow to improve your sleep.
To provide maximum support for your head and neck, regardless of whether you sleep on your side or your back, place the flat side of your pillow down and orient the pillow with the larger of the two curves toward the foot of your bed.
Settle into your pillow and effortlessly let your head sink in. Stay with it even if the pillow seems too hard at first.
In a few minutes, you will feel the pillow conform to your head, neck, and shoulders due to your body heat. Note that it will take a little while for the foam to change position when you do.
As the foam cools, it becomes stiffer. This is an ideal time to take a few cleansing breaths or to meditate for a few minutes to prompt your body and brain to have a deep and stress-relieving sleep.
Sleeping on your stomach with a memory foam pillow is not highly recommended. The pillow’s unique shape can put a stomach sleeper’s head and neck at unusual angles, which can increase neck pain and headaches.
Regardless of the type of pillow you use, sleeping on your stomach can cause you to awaken with a stiff neck and can negatively affect your shoulders, upper back, jaw, and vital organs.
Memory foam pillows, regardless of the position you prefer to sleep in, can help you have a better rest each night, even if it means teaching your body not to sleep on your stomach.
Types of Memory Foam Pillow
Unlike other types of pillows and designs such as buckwheat or down, memory foam pillows come in various shapes and styles.
Ultimately, they are all for laying your head down for a good night’s sleep, but which one you’ll choose depends on more specific needs, as each one serves a slightly different purpose.
Contour
A contour memory foam pillow is a slab of viscoelastic foam which has two ridges running horizontally from one side to another and a subtle groove.
The groove is where the head is cradled, and with the ridges supporting the neck, it provides maximum stability for the head too.
Due to the contoured shape combined with the supportive nature of viscoelastic foam, it is a very popular choice for those with neck problems and is similarly also considered one of the best pillows for back sleepers too.
Shredded
A shredded memory foam pillow is entirely different from the aforementioned contour style pillow. In terms of shape, they are usually rectangular, similar to that of the traditional types.
They are referred to as shredded because the interior consists of hundreds or sometimes thousands of tiny shreds of foam pieces compacted together to form the filling.
The benefits of having this shredded nature are that it allows the foam to be more breathable thus making it sleep cooler and not creating a heat trap.
Additionally, although there is no real need to fluff, a shredded memory foam pillow can have its loft adjusted or be scrunched and molded to shape a little if required, unlike a contour pillow.
Traditional
It’s the relatively low loft rectangular shaped ones which you’re most likely to be familiar with when we refer to the term “traditional”.
When it comes to foam pillows, there are two very similar variations in particular which are the most popular. Both are one-piece and cut to size.
The first is genuinely traditional in that it’s tailored by a single seam around all four edges, and has slightly sloped or angled edges which are common in a majority of bed pillows.
The second is also similar in shape and size to the former but instead has a double seamed edge which allows for a consistent and higher loft especially around the edge.
These are known as a gusset pillow, and due to the high loft and increased support for the neck and shoulder area, they are widely accepted as all-around top rated pillows.
Wedge
A wedge pillow goes by many different names and has more uses than the traditional rectangular shaped types.
Basically, a memory foam wedge pillow is shaped like a giant triangle. It is slanted with a gradual slope and is commonly used to prop the body up for different purposes.
Typically, the size and angle of the slope greatly determine its usage and whether it’s for adults or babies. Due to the conforming and heat retaining nature of this material it can be an extremely comfortable and warm surface to lay back on.
Recommended extensively for medical reasons such as respiratory problems, acid reflux or sinus issues, wedge pillows aren’t just used for sleeping.
Also known as a bed wedge, they are a popularly used as a reading pillow while sat upright and leaned against.
Alternatively, they can also be used to elevate the lower body by placing underneath the back of the knees which helps reduce the load on the lower back.
Additionally, they are also perhaps regarded as the best pillows for pregnancy considering they can be placed under a baby bump to reduce stress on the lower back.
Benefits of Using a Memory Foam Pillow
Durable
Memory foam pillows hold their shape and are less likely to go flat like traditional pillows. The foam conforms to fit the head and neck, but when it cools down, it goes back to the original shape.
Hygienic
Memory foam is a synthetic material and is safe. These pillows are hypoallergenic which obstructs the growth of bacteria and dust mites. This is a benefit for those who experience allergies to features and dust mites.
If you have suffered from allergies for a long time and have yet to come across any form of relief, the problem may be resting beneath your head.
Traditional goose-down, duck feather, and even synthetic pillows have been widely known to cause allergic reactions.
Most traditional feather pillows contain dust mites and millions of fungal spores that create miniature ecosystems within your pillows.
These tiny beings, combined with your sweat as you sleep make for a hotbed of bacterial growth that leads to problems with allergies.
The most long-term and optimal solution by far is to opt for a safer and more hypoallergenic option, like the memory foam filled pillow.
Pressure Points
Memory foam pillows are designed to outline the unique shape of the body and support your neck and heat. The foam reforms where it is not pressured, and more where the stress is increased.
Sleep Apnoea
The advantages for those with sleep apnoea are obscure. But, it is believed that the spinal alignment aligns the airways better and allows for easier breathing.
The shortage of pressure points with memory foam may benefit those with sleep apnoea because there will be less tossing around.
Spinal Alignment
Back pain or headaches are usually caused by poor spinal alignment. One of the major health benefits of memory foam pillows is spinal alignment.
When your head and neck is placed on the pillow, the warmth of your body allows the foam to reshape itself.
Side Sleepers
For many years, pillows have been filled with duck and goose feathers that, while soft in the beginning, compress throughout the night, leaving your head to rest on a flatbed of fluff.
The lack of support found with down pillows has led some traditional users to experience unsavory health complications. Specifically, for those who mainly sleep on their sides, it’s common to experience stiff necks each morning due to improper alignment of the spine.
The optimal position for the neck during rest is what experts call the “neutral” position. This is when that natural curve of the neck is at the perfect and comfortable angle, so as not to overly bend or compress the joints.
For this ideal alignment of the neck to occur, it’s best to find one that is thick enough to allow your head to rest gently and evenly within the “neutral” position.
Neck Pain Relief
The need to ease neck pain is one of the main reasons to switch to a different pillow. Another reason to think about switching is that Cervicalgia is the cause of many more serious health issues over time.
While this pain can be the result of many factors such as car crashes, sports injuries or genetics, using the wrong neck support for these pre-existing conditions only serves to exacerbate the problem by inflicting tension and stress on the neck and back.
It is imperative that your neck and head are elevated to a specific height when trying to alleviate neck pain.
Memory foam pillows are a way for you to accomplish this because polyurethane is specifically designed to provide elevated support and a “melting in” feeling that adds to your overall comfort.

Takeaway
A pillow can make all the difference between getting a good night’s sleep and waking up sore, tired and irritable.
It’s important to know that different sleep positions require different types of pillows to keep your head and neck in a neutral alignment with your spine.
One type of memory foam pillow, despite its many positive qualities, does not fit all. Memory foam is used to fill pillows in a variety of ways, including solid pieces molded into specific shapes or shredded memory foam pieces with a zipper to remove and add as much filling as you like.
Memory foam pillows, for any type of sleeper, are definitely a great option. It’s all about finding the one that is designed around your particular sleep needs.
Our advice would be to narrow down your preferences and search for a pillow that offers trial periods so you can decide for yourself what’s a good fit at little to no risk to you.
Only around 10% of people are really affected by daylight saving. However, we loudly complain about it every year. Many Americans consider the annual switch to daylight saving time a terrible idea. Every year, more and more citizens complain that sleep loss from time changes severely impacts their life.
When the clocks get moved, people usually report being very sleepy and worried that sleepiness may affect their work. Some are afraid of getting into motor vehicle accidents due to lack of sleep, while other report going to the dreamland at inappropriate moments, such as during a meeting. Springing forward can actually do more damage than causing you to lose an hour of sleep. However, there are also things you can do to make the transition less difficult.
How Daylight Saving Time Impacts Our Sleep
When we set our clock one hour ahead when DST begins, do we also set back our health? David J. Earnest, Ph.D., a professor at the College of Medicine in Texas says that the immediate impact of the first day of DST is getting an hour less of sleep. In theory, the one-hour time change shouldn’t affect our internal clock a lot, and we should be able to adapt after two to three days. However, more and more people report experiencing prolonged sleep disturbances during DST. It can happen for various reasons.
In order to understand how our sleep can be affected by daylight saving time, we should understand how our circadian rhythm works. Our body’s inner clock regulates a number of physiological functions except sleep. It is responsible for hormone release, metabolism, and managing fatigue and alertness. During the transition on or off daylight saving time, our inner click is a bit off. Since the master body clock regulates more than physiological functions, we feel like we are entirely out of sync. During the transition to DST people often feel irritable, fatigued, hungry, or even depressed.
The best thing you can do to prevent this is to make adjustments a few days before DST or immediately. It is crucial to eat and sleep according to the new time. Although this is common sense, it may be quite tricky because our body tells us to do otherwise. Adults usually don’t have problems adjusting to DST. However, the change may be problematic for teenagers and all people with sensitive circadian rhythms. Every person functions in a unique way, and there are a lot of variations in terms how will our body respond to this sudden change.
DST Has Similar Effects as Time-Zone Switching
Transitioning on or off DST is very similar to switching time zone during travel. Shifting to an earlier time is like flying eastward, and our body adapts to it harder. Shifting to an hour later is similar to flying westward, and it’s much easier for our bodies to adjust. Everyone feels better when they have an extra hour of sleep.
How Springing Forward Affects Our Health
DST doesn’t jeopardize our health or affect it negatively in a severe manner. However, since it seems like we are forcefully pulled from our beds an hour earlier, it severely affects our mood. Apart from mood changes, disruption of circadian rhythms and sleep loss can lead to poor cognitive functioning. Due to poor cognitive functioning, we are more prone to car accidents, work injuries and similar.
Why Do We Still Have DST?
Don’t you think it’s nice to leave work at 5 pm and still have several hours of daylight to enjoy? DST cannot be the standard all year long, because, during winter, we would get up and go to work when it’s still dark. Going to work during dark may have safety implications. On the other side, extra daylight in the evening may lead to less crime.
The idea of daylight saving time emerged during war years and was established by law in 1918. It was repealed in 1919 and re-established during World War II from 1942 to 1945. In 1966, the Uniform Time Act provided standardization for the beginning and ending dates of DST in the US. The law allowed some local exceptions. Due to those exceptions, two states, Hawaii and Arizona, don’t recognize daylight saving time. Some countries such as California consider doing the same.
The fact that DST begins on a Sunday means that people have a full day to adjust to the new time before returning to work or school on Monday. Dr. Earnest advises us to take advantage of that. Another tip is to gradually shift your time and adjust to the new time by getting up half an hour earlier that you are used to. Doing this two days before DST should be sufficient.

Have you ever thought why do you have to sleep? Also, have you ever wondered if an extra hour of sleep a day could make a difference in your life? Sleep expert claim that an extra hour of sleep a day can make quite a lot of difference. Studies suggest that getting enough sleep and getting too little sleep is actually the difference between staying healthy and jeopardizing your health. Lack of shuteye can significantly affect multiple aspects of your physical and mental health. It can also impact your mood, weight and even your sex life. If you are lately not getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep per night, take a look at some of the reasons you should definitely go to bed earlier tonight.
Better Health
Sleeping 8 hours per night will not grant you immunity for illness. However, studies suggest that insufficient sleep can increase risks of some serious diseases and medical conditions such as heart disease, heart attack, diabetes, and obesity. Typically, a person can feel these consequences only after years of sleep loss. However, when it comes to diabetes, you have to be extra careful. A recent study simulated the effects of disturbed sleep of shift workers on ten young healthy adults. After just four days, their glucose levels have significantly increased, to a degree that it is qualified as pre-diabetic.
Better Sex Life
According to a poll we have recently conducted, around 30% of people believe their sex life is negatively affected by lack of sleep, simply because they are too tired. Some studies suggest that lack of sleep lowers the testosterone levels in men. Of course, not getting having enough time for snoozing can affect your love life in a less direct way too.
Alleviate Pain
If you suffer from chronic pain, or you have suffered a recent injury, visiting the dreamland may help you alleviate pain. Some studies have shown that during sleep, our body restores and even lowers pain. It basically serves as a natural supplement medication for pain. However, it may be hard to fall asleep when you are in pain.
Lower Risk of Injury
Sleeping 8 hours a day will keep you safer. How? Because sleep deprivation is linked with some of the most notorious disasters in the history, such as the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger. Unfortunately, one out of five car accidents in the US is caused by drowsy driving. The fact is that if you are sleepy, you will be prone to any kind of accident because you are less focused and alert. So, when you are tired, even the simplest activities such as chopping vegetables can result in injuring yourself.
Better Mood
Getting enough shuteye doesn’t mean you will always be happy, but as you have certainly noticed, lack of slumber will most likely make you fell groggy and cranky during the entire day. Failing to meet the sandman regularly also affects you emotional regulation. So, when you are tired or exhausted, you will more likely burst into tears, laugh uncontrollably, or yell at somebody.
Better Weight Control
Sleeping 7 to 9 hours a day can actually help you regulate your weight. On the contrary, sleep loss can result in weight gain. Why does this happen? The problem is part hormonal, part behavioral. Lack of sleep causes hormonal misbalance which may slow down your metabolism or cause you to feel hungrier than usual. The hormone leptin is responsible for this. Leptin is a hormone that signals your brain when you are full. When you don’t sleep as much as you should, levels of leptin drop, which may cause night craving for food or specifically for high-fat and high-calorie foods. When it comes to behavior, when you are tired, you are less likely to go for a jog or cook a healthy dinner after work.
Clearer Thinking
When you are tired and exhausted, you will fell fuzzy during the entire day, and it will seem that your brain just can’t get out of its first gear. That is because sleep loss affects your cognition, attention, and even decision-making. If you have started doing strange things such as leaving your keys in the fridge and similar odd mistakes, you should definitely get more sleep.
Better Memory
As lack of sleep can affect our cognitive abilities, it can also affect our memory. Lack of shuteye can lead to forgetfulness, especially of recent events. Studies have shown that sleep loss makes hard for our brain to process and consolidate memories from the day. The fact is that without enough blissful slumber, your memories can’t be stored correctly, so they will eventually be completely lost. As this isn’t enough, some researchers claim that lack of sleep increases the chances of developing false memories.
Stronger Immunity
Did you know that sleep can protect you from the common cold? In a recent study, scientists have monitored sleep habits of over 150 people for two weeks. After two weeks, they exposed them to a cold virus, and the results showed that people who got seven or more hours of sleep per night are three times less likely to get sick than people who sleep less than seven hours a day. Of course, this study is inconclusive because there are a lot of other factors that may have affected the immunity of the examinees. However, you can’t go wrong if you decide to sleep 8 hours every night.
