Australia’s Best Pillows in 2021

Getting the right pillow is important, so to help narrow down your search, Bedbuyer has put together a list of Australia's Best Pillows for 2021 !

April 2, 2020

Selecting the best pillow is one of the most important yet confusing purchases you will make for your bedroom. With literally thousands of products to choose from, getting the right one (for our individual needs) is no easy task.

Along with a mattress, a pillow is hugely important in terms of our sleep quality. A good pillow should provide the correct support for our head and neck, and should accomodate us in different sleeping positions.

Our pillow should also be comfortable and offer our head a nice level ‘pressure relief’. As much as we want support, our pillow needs to feel nice to lie on. Additionally, pillows should be breathable and well ventilated. This will help with temperature regulation during sleep which is an important aspect to consider when buying any bedding product.

Sleeping pillows in Australia come in different shapes and sizes (e.g. contour shape, traditional shape), but a typical pillow size is a rectangular shape of 60cm wide, 40cm deep, and 10cm high. Interestingly, this is somewhat different to a standard European size pillow which is more of a square shape (65cm wide, 65cm deep).

There is also a range of different materials that are used in pillow. Various foams (e.g. memory foam) are most common, but latex, wool, and down feathers are also used frequently.  Prices range from $20 all the way up past $300, but you should be able to get a good pillow for under $100. Some pillows (e.g. the Macoda Pillow) offer a ‘free trial period’ where you can really try before you buy.

So, after a thorough review of the Australian pillow market, Bedbuyer’s review team has listed our top picks in 2021! We have also

Australia’s best pillows

  2. Gel Contour Pillow
  3. Bamboo Classic

1. Macoda Pillow – $150*

Best Pillows

Best suited for:

This pillow contains an ‘open air structure’ on one side that is covered with a ‘cooling gel glaze’. This side is designed specially for cooling and is perfect for hot sleepers. The other side contains a unique ‘bamboo charcoal infused memory foam’ which helps to absorb moisture and minimise bacteria.

This gem from Macoda is suitable for side, back, and front sleepers. It offers very good value and comes with a very handy 60 night free trial period. This is an excellent option and one if the best on the market in 2020. Here is our full review.


2. Gel Contour Pillow – $199

  • side sleepers
  • back sleepers

The Chiropedic Gel Contour is an excellent product and uses a ‘dual contour shape’. This allows you to choose the best height for your neck, helping to maintain good spinal alignment.

It is made with premium ‘visco elastic memory foam’ which is designed to help you keep cool during sleep. It also has a removable and washable ‘ice silk fabric’ cover that feels cool and soft. A very nice pillow at a great price. Here is our full review.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the your reviews on the best pillows, I`m can`t decide between the Chiropedic classic bamboo, or their pressure relief visco contour, I`m a side sleeper, have been having issues with my neck, waking up with a stiff and sore neck and the occasional headache, have never slept on a contour pillow, but will try anything once if would give me a good night sleep

      Hi Gemma,

      Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!

      Unfortunately both the Chiropedic Bamboo Classic Pillow and Pressure Relief Visco Contour are currently out of stock (you can pre-order) so that may rule them out for now.

      I would recommend you try the Chiropedic Gel Classic which is very comfortable and a great one for side sleepers. You can order online and delivery is free. The shop page is linked here for you (use code BBPILLOW10% at checkout).

      Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries.
