Pillow Talk: Seven Brands To Shop for a Good Night’s Sleep

For all the expensive face creams in the world, nothing helps reduce dark circles and puffy eyes quite like a good night of rest. Catching quality Zs comes down to a few key things, including avoiding screens before tucking in, limiting your alcohol intake and, possibly most importantly, getting really comfortable.

If you’ve got your sheets sorted and a cosy doona to boot, maybe you need a new pillow to stop tossing and turning throughout the night.

Emma

Emma’s range of mattresses-in-a-box are favourites among sleep aficionados. And the brand’s pillows follow similar engineering. There’s the Diamond, which is designed to regulate temperature and can be height-adjusted depending on how you sleep; the Foam that offers firm support, and the Cloud Hybrid for anyone looking for an alternative to down.

Ecosa

If you’re sick of waking up with neck pain, Ecosa’s memory foam pillow might be the right fit for you. Its curved design offers support whether you’re a side, back or freestyle sleeper. Plus, additional height pads help the contours hit at the right spot for you.

Koala

When you name a brand after an animal that sleeps up to 20 hours each day, you must be confident about your level of comfort. And in the past eight years, Sydney-born startup Koala has grown from offering an OG mattress to a full suite of furniture and home goods. When it comes to pillows, there’s three to choose from. The original Koala pillow offers a softer side and a firmer side so you can flip between preferences. The Breeze is all about temperature and is made from bamboo charcoal-infused foam to help fight bacteria. And the Cloudy mimics the fluffy feel of feathers.

I Love Linen

It’s no secret that we love I Love Linen’s sheets around the Broadsheet office. But the brand’s Hotel Cloud collection of pillows, quilts and mattress toppers are not to be slept on. The pillows come in standard and king size, and are fluffy enough to fill-out pillow slips so your bed will look as good as it feels.

Macoda

If you’re always searching for the cool side of the pillow, Macoda’s memory foam is for you. Designed specifically to stay cool (thanks to an open structure and gel glaze), it comes finished with a bamboo case that is silky soft.

Ergoflex

Fans of memory foam might already be familiar with Ergoflex’s signature high-density mattresses. But the brand offers a matching pillow too. Complete with a fully moulded core, the pillow shapes around you to help relieve pressure and reduce muscle tension.

Sleep Republic

Sleep Republic’s signature pillow comes in two profiles: high and low. The brand says the 10-centimetre option is suitable for all sleepers, while side sleepers might prefer to be propped slightly higher on the 14-centimetre style. Made from foam, it has a tencel cover to help with breathability.
