Eve Sleep Pillow review: The luxe pillows that cured my stiff neck
UNFORTUNATELY, since the time of writing Eve Sleep is no longer in business, but we have a few more pillows we've tried out if you're interested:
Eve Sleep is best known for its selection of premium mattresses, but did you know they also have a range of top-rated bedding as well?
When we saw the rave review on the Eve Sleep’s The Original Hybrid mattress, we knew we had to try out a couple of pillows from the range to see how they measured up.
Our usual strategy when shopping for pillows is to find the absolute cheapest option on Amazon and click add to cart before doing any further research. Our mentality in the past has been: a pillow is a pillow, how much of a difference can it really make?
As it turns out, quite a lot.
The Eve Sleep Fluffable Feather Pillow is £79, and the Memory Foam Pillow is £69, which in both instances is far more expensive than any other pillow we've had before. But the difference in quality is astronomical.
Mattresses aren’t the only product worth investing in to take care of your body and get a good night's sleep and once you try out a pillow from Eve Sleep it will be hard to go back to budget options.
We put both of Eve Sleep’s best selling pillows through a week of rigorous testing to help you decide if a luxe pillow is really worth it, and if neither of the pillows is your cup of tea in the end you can take advantage of the Eve Sleep offers a 30-night trial and send it back.

Eve Sleep The Fluffable Feather Pillow review
Spending a night in a hotel is one of our favourite things to do. Even if it's far from 5-star, there’s something luxurious about sleeping in a freshly made (by someone else, crucially) bed. One of the most important things for us in a hotel is the pillow, and this pillow from Eve Sleep puts even the bouji-est of hotel pillows we've tried to shame.
It gives you the feeling of a thick, fluffy pillow that you can sink your head into while still giving your neck that much-needed support. The pillow stays gloriously plump throughout the night and feels like a decadent addition to our night time routine, but be warned, it will make it harder to get out of bed in the morning.
One potential con is the inclusion of feathers and down in the filling, which can put off some animal lovers. If this is you, the Memory Foam pillow might be a better option.
Eve Sleep The Memory Foam Pillow review
As much as we've tried to transition to sleeping on our backs, we always seem to end up on our side when we wake up and we can’t imagine this is working wonders on our necks. As we're getting older we're getting increasingly concerned about the effect sitting at a desk all day and craning our neck to scroll on our phone is going to have on our neck and shoulders long term.
So being able to get a little extra support while we're sleeping is a good way to ease our fears that requires next to no effort on our part, with the supportive pillow doing all the heavy lifting. We often hear about the importance of a supportive mattress in order to keep your spine aligned during the night, with pillows not really taken into consideration.
But we're here to tell you, they should be. This pillow has been designed to be the ideal height for spine alignment, which will help to keep your back in the right position so you're less likely to wake up with aches and pains.
We switched back to our old pillow for a night after a week of loyalty to the Eve Sleep Memory Foam pillow, and could absolutely tell the difference when we woke up in the morning. Our neck felt stiff, and we could tell we were tossing and turning more often during the night.

Memory foam has a reputation for getting uncomfortably hot, but Eve Sleep made sure to add small air holes to keep the air circulating so you stay cool during the night. We didn’t feel our body temperature rising while using this pillow, so the air holes must have been working their magic to counteract the heat from the memory foam.
If you’re someone who likes to sink into your extra soft pillow at the end of the day, this one is probably not for you. On the other hand, if you like to feel supported while you sleep, this pillow will hit the spot.
