5 On Your Side: How to pick the perfect pillow

With so many pillow options on the market, it's easy to have trouble deciding which pillow is your perfect match.

Consumer Reports just finished testing pillows from popular brands to see which ones are best for a good night’s sleep.

Consumer Reports tested nearly a dozen pillows from popular brands with prices ranging from $4 to $170.

The pillows consisted mostly of memory foam, polyester fibers or a combination of both.

The bottom line for good support and a long-lasting pillow: Skip cheaper pillows.

Consumer Reports said the best of the bunch for both back and side sleepers of any size is the $60 dollar Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow. Plus, it comes with an extra foam kit so you can adjust the pillow to your liking.

Double check labels to see instructions for keeping pillow fresh. Most should be washed in hot water at least twice a year, and pillows should be replaced every one or two years.
