Construction and Materials

The design of the Sweetnight Luxury bed pillows is very traditional. They have a grey trim but maintain a look usually found in hotels. When first received they are plump and well filled, this can be altered if you prefer them slightly different, however.

The pillows are hypoallergenic so can be a great choice for those sensitive to allergens. These Luxury bed pillows are also easily kept clean. They are fully machine washable and stain-resistant, greatly increasing their durability. If you are machine washing them, they should be washed on cold and can be tumble dried on low heat. Once they are completely dry they recover their shape well and are easy to plump.

Layers

1. Cotton Cover Layer

The cover is made from 100% cotton, it gives the cover a soft, comfortable feel. An advantage of using cotton for the cover is that it is very breathable. This greatly increases the airflow in and out of the mattress, preventing overheating as you sleep. The cover also has a zip where the filling can be removed or added. The cover itself does not need to be removed with the whole pillow being machine washable.

2. Hollowfibre Fill Layer 

The hollowfibre fill is extremely common in pillows. The polyester fill is hypoallergenic and gives a soft, comfortable sinking feeling. This pillow has the bonus of being able to remove or add the filling. Allowing you to adjust it to your ideal loft and firmness. One drawback of using this fill material is that it does not last as long as other common materials such as memory foam. Replacing the hollowfibre now and then will keep the pillow plump and fresh. 

Comfort, Support and Sleep Quality

Sweetnight’s Luxury Bed pillows are a medium feel as standard. This would put them between a 5-6 on a 1-10 scale of 1 being softest and 10 firmest. This firmness range will usually suit the widest range of people and so is very common. If you prefer a higher or lower pillow then this pillow is very good. There is a hidden zipper that allows you to add or remove filling. This makes it suitable for all sleeping positions. 

Already knowing which sleeping position you most commonly sleep in can help you get this pillow to suit you quicker. If you commonly sleep on your side then you usually need a higher lofted pillow which is firmer. For the Sweetnight Luxury pillows then you want the pillows nice and plump to support the gap between your shoulder and neck and keep the spine in good alignment. For front sleepers, you need the opposite and a softer pillow will usually suit you much better. Using just one of the pillows or taking some of the fill out will get the level of support you need. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle of the other two. A medium loft and firmness can suit them well but these types of sleeper can be suited by a wide range of pillows. As a result, they may be suited to one or two pillows at varying fill levels.

This is only a rough guide and you may find that you prefer a different configuration than recommended but it is a good place to start.

Pillows overheating can leave you sleeping poorly and preventing good quality sleep. Down and synthetic materials are usually the best at keeping you cool during the night. The hollowfibre fill material in the Sweetnight Luxury Bed pillows is not known for sleeping warm and so should keep cool as you sleep. 

The plump and full fill of this pillow can help keep the neck and back in proper alignment. Sweetnight claims that this can help neck pain sufferers. Alongside this, they claim the pillows can help with the following: migraines, snoring, insomnia and preventing excessive tossing and turning.

Our Verdict

This pillow on the whole is a very solid hollowfibre pillow. It has a good build quality which results in the pillow being plump and well filled. They probably won’t last as long as some other materials like memory foam or down come with the option of replacing the filling which can make it feel like new. Using synthetic fillings also means they are hypoallergenic so can be a great choice for allergy sufferers.

Being able to adjust this pillow to your needs is one of the factors that make it stand out from cheaper hollowfibre pillows. It enables you to find a fill level that provides you with an excellent balance of support and comfort, allowing you to sleep comfortably. 

It is a great bonus that these pillows come with a 3-year warranty, it is very uncommon with a pair of pillows at this price and comes across as a show of product confidence from Sweetnight.

If you decide that you want to replace the filling material then fresh filling can also be bought from Amazon for a reasonable price. A good hollowfibre option for this can be found here.

This pillow has a lot of upsides and will be a great fit for a lot of people. Sweetnights Luxury pillows will be an even better fit if you are looking for the following:

• A pillow that is great for allergy sufferers.
• A pair of pillows with that hotel-quality look and feel.
• A set of very plump pillows.
• A pair of pillows that do not need to be aired or have any smell out of the box.
