Cotton Pillow Review and Analysis

 
Pros
Good support, allergy-free, natural, absorbent, ease of care

 

 
Cons
Average/poor contouring support, tends to flatten and harden over time

What Is a Cotton Pillow?
A cotton pillow is filled with 100% percent cotton.


Below, the pillow is evaluated for each characteristic on a scale of one to ten. One means the pillow does not have the characteristic, and 10 means it fully has the characteristic.  
 
Firm
The pillows usually have high firmness, yet are capable of being somewhat soft on the head and ears. They hold their shape and loft reasonable well, resulting in at least average support throughout the night.

Score: 8 out of 10
 

Contouring Support
Cotton pillows generally conform to a fair degree to the contours of one’s head, neck and body. Their ability to contour can be undermined if they become lumpy or if the distribution of the cotton collects on one side of the pillow. Also, the pillows tend to flatten and sag significantly over time.

Score: 4 out of 10
 

Adjustable Height and Firmness
They are not adjustable.

Score: 2 out of 10
 

Good for Back Sleeping
They can be suitable for back sleepers.

Score: 8 out of 10
 

Good for Side Sleeping
Because they are firm and generally have high loft, cotton pillows are likely good for side sleepers.
 
Score: 7 out of 10


Good for Stomach Sleeping
The pillows will likely be too firm and high to be suitable for stomach sleepers.
 
Score: 3 out of 10


Quiet
They are quiet.

Score: 10 out of 10
 

Air Flow
Cotton offers decent breathability and absorbency to help regulate one’s sleeping temperature.

Score: 7 out of 10

 
Light Weight
The pillows tend to be above average in weight.

Score: 7 out of 10

 
No Smell
They seldom have any smell to speak of.

Score: 8 out of 10

 
Hypoallergenic
100% cotton pillows are completely free of allergens, synthetics and chemicals. However, they are particularly susceptible to dust mites because they tend to retain moisture.

Score: 8 out of 10

 
Durable
Cotton offers reasonable toughness.

Score: 5 out of 10

 
Easily Cared For
They are easily cared for and can be machine washed and dried.

Score: 8 out of 10

 
Low Price
They tend to be inexpensive.

Score: 8 out of 10

 
Value
At a low price, they can be considered a fair value since they will likely last for at least a few years.

Score: 7 out of 10
