This Highly-Rated Pillow for Side Sleepers Eliminated My Morning Aches and Pains

I’ve officially reached the point in my life where I wake up in the morning and everything hurts. As an elder millennial, I’d like to say that I am way too young to be complaining about aches and pains, but here I am.

So, to combat the pain that I was feeling in the morning, at night I would put a bunch of pillows in various positions around my body in hopes I would wake up without aches and pains. Here’s how it worked: two under my head, one between my knees, an extra firm pillow in my lower back, and one small pillow under my feet. Since I’m a side sleeper, I’d have to get very creative when rolling over with my pillow configuration.

However, nothing helped me feel less achy and my sleep was really suffering, so I started doing a bit of research and found a pillow that is designed just for side sleepers called the Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow. Great name, right?

All About the Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow

I have to admit, the shape of the pillow made me nervous because I couldn't imagine how the curved pillow would be comfortable and not cause more neck pain. Oh, how wrong I was.

After a few weeks of sleeping with just the Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow, I’ve ditched all of my other pillows and I’m waking up without pain. Keep reading for my honest review of this pillow.

The Shape Makes the Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow Perfect for Side Sleepers

The curved shape of the pillow helps maintain proper alignment of your neck, shoulders and spine while you're sleeping. The shape also helps reduce tossing and turning all night because your body is in pain or feels stiff.

The Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow Is Customizable

When I first laid down on the pillow, I’ll admit I was nervous. It was lower in height and more firm than the pillows I had been using. However, the instructions said you can remove the filling from the pillow to get the ideal height and firmness or the company will send you more filling to fluff up the pillow. However, after one night, I became a fan of the pillow as is, and I love that when the pillow begins to naturally flatten, I can get more filling for free for my pillow.

The Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow Is Cooling

I noticed right away that the Honeydew Side Sleeper Pillow felt very cool to the touch. According to the brand, the cooling comes from the filling that is made with CertiPUR-US-certified copper-infused foam, and the copper is more effective at cooling than gel-based memory foam. I’m not really sure about the science behind it, I just know that I’m really loving the cozy feeling from a cool pillow. Another reason to officially ditch all of my other pillows

Where Can I Buy a Honeydew Sleep Scrumptious Side Sleeper Pillow?

You’ll find the pillow on Amazon and can purchase the pillow in two sizes, queen and king.

You can also get the pillow at Walmart.

Pros & Cons

Bottom Line

Side sleepers, this one’s for you. Even though this is an expensive pillow — for me, it’s worth the money. Instead of trying to make a bunch of pillows work and still waking up sore and in pain every morning, this pillow feels like an investment that’s well worth the better sleep and pain-free mornings. Your head and shoulders feel supported and even if you flip over on your back, it’s still comfortable. Plus, I love the cooling feel of the pillow.

I was recently traveling, and I’ve never been the type of person to travel with my own pillow. But I am now! I tossed the Honeydew Side Sleeper into my bag before I left home and I was so glad I was able to use it instead of hotel pillows. Now, who wants all of my old pillows? I definitely don’t need them anymore.
