The best pillow for side sleepers

This Simba Hybrid Firm Pillow will leave you extremely supported, thanks to its versatile design. It features three interchangeable inner pillows: a firm one of foam-enclosed patented Aerocoil® micro springs and two softer ones of breathable Simba Renew. As it's customisable, it's ideal for side sleepers because you can configure it to your own sleep style. All you need to do is unzip the outer layer and rearrange the pillow inside.

Review by Commerical Content Editor, Natalie Corner: "I recently discovered that I was more comfortable sleeping on my side, but my pillow situation has never worked well for me. I have been sleeping with a firm and soft pillow, so to be able to upgrade to the Simba Hybrid Pillow has really helped. So far I've tried out the firm combination which has been very supportive but as I switch over in the night I think having the firm pillow in the middle with the two softer pillows will be perfect. The climate control has also been a dream during these hot summer nights, as I don't wake up with my head in a sweat."

Customer review: "Very happy with my purchase. I've had a very annoying neck/upper neck pain for weeks now so thought I'd try a memory foam pillow built for back or side sleeping with the higher and lower side. It has made a big difference very quick and a week later I have no more neck pain. I've tried general memory foam pillows in the past (and i have a tempur mattress) but this one especially for back or side sleepers with the higher and lower side is the best I've used. Very happy!"
