Review of MyPillow

You have heard the commercials, and you have probably wondered if the pillow behind them is worth your money. If a partner’s snoring keeps you up, you may also be wondering if a pillow can fix it.

Here is the short answer. MyPillow is a decent, mid-priced bed pillow with a real return policy, but it is not an anti-snoring pillow, and no study we found shows that a plain pillow will quiet your snoring.

MyPillow at a Glance

• What it is: a bed pillow with a shredded foam fill the company calls patented and interlocking, inside a 100% cotton cover.
• Price: MyPillow’s own site lists the Classic from $29.98 and the Premium from $49.98 as of October 2026. The Classic Queen on Amazon holds 4.0 stars from 19,762 ratings, according to its listing.
• Guarantee: 60 days, with a refund of the purchase price minus shipping, according to MyPillow’s guarantee page. You pay return shipping.
• Warranty: MyPillow’s site lists 10 years on the Premium. The Amazon listing shows 2 years, so the length depends on where you buy.
• Made in: the USA, according to both the company’s Premium page and the Amazon listing.

What Has Changed Since We First Reviewed It

This review first ran years ago, and the company has changed a lot since. A few things we used to repeat no longer hold up.

The “official pillow of the National Sleep Foundation” line is gone. According to the consumer group Truth in Advertising, MyPillow agreed in October 2016 to stop using that claim, and to stop claiming its pillows treat or cure diseases.

The same report says MyPillow’s own fine print rested its health claims on “medical opinion and user experience” and not on clinical studies. Keep that in mind when an ad promises relief from neck pain, insomnia or snoring.

It also reports that the Better Business Bureau revoked MyPillow’s accreditation in January 2017 and cut its rating to an F. Check the BBB’s current profile before you buy, since ratings change.

We also used to say you had to buy two pillows at a time. Amazon sells the Classic one at a time, and MyPillow’s product pages now show per-pillow prices with an “as low as” figure.

How Does the MyPillow Fill Work?

MyPillow says its patented interlocking fill adjusts to your sleep position. Its Premium page says the fill is neither memory foam nor down.

Your head sinks in a little and the pieces shift as you move, which is why some people love it and others find it lumpy.

The Premium comes in four loft levels. Queen is 18.5 by 28 inches and King is 18.5 by 34 inches, and both are machine washable and dryable, according to the company.

The Classic comes in a medium and a firm fill, based on the Amazon listing and Mattress Clarity.

Which MyPillow Color Should You Choose?

MyPillow sells the Premium in four colors, and each color is a different loft. The colors run from least firm to most firm.

Color	Firmness	Who tends to like it
Yellow	Least firm	Stomach sleepers and anyone who wants a low, soft pillow
White	Medium	Back sleepers and combination sleepers
Green	More fill, firmer	Side sleepers with average shoulders
Blue	Firmest	Side sleepers with broad shoulders

The color names and the order come from MyPillow’s product filters and from Mattress Clarity. The “who tends to like it” column is our rule of thumb, not a company claim.

Height matters more than most people think. A 2021 meta-analysis of pillow designs found that the shape and height of a pillow affect how your neck lines up.

MyPillow has changed its fitting advice over the years, so check its site for the current guide before you pick a color. Our older T-shirt-size chart is gone for that reason.

What Was It Like to Sleep On?

I have used pillows like this one in the past, but I keep drifting back to down feather pillows. I hoped a well-known pillow company would change that.

When we ordered, the company website required two pillows per order, so I picked a white and a blue and customized each one. The white is smaller and thinner than the blue, so I took the blue and my wife took the white.

The pillows looked lumpy when they arrived. Even so, they were comfortable and we fell asleep without trouble.

They also stayed cool. I did not overheat or sweat the way I did on my old pillow.

After a while the pillow got lumpier, and there were bits of foam stuck in various parts of the cover. Overall, my wife and I called it average.

Other testers agree. Mattress Clarity, in an update from September 2026, scores the Premium 3.7 out of 5 and lists lumpy filling and frequent fluffing among its complaints.

Does a Pillow Like This Help With Neck Pain or Snoring?

Neck pain is where pillows have the best evidence, but none of the studies we found tested MyPillow itself. A 2021 review of 35 trials, including nine high-quality studies with 555 people, found that rubber and spring pillows reduced neck pain, waking symptoms and disability in people with chronic neck pain.

The same meta-analysis found that pillow design did not change sleep quality. So a pillow can ease an aching neck, but it is not a sleep cure.

Snoring is a different story. A 2024 systematic review of nine studies and 235 adults called positional therapy and head-of-bed elevation reliable options for easing snoring.

Those devices work by keeping you off your back or raising your head. A regular pillow does neither on purpose.

One small trial is worth a mention. In a 2022 pilot study of 32 people with sleep apnea, those in the memory foam group had 47% fewer snoring events than on a standard lab pillow.

Only 12 people used the memory foam pillow, the authors call the work preliminary, and MyPillow’s fill is not memory foam. Treat it as a hint, not a promise.

If snoring is your real problem, look at the SnoreRx or zQuiet mouthpieces, or browse our guide to anti-snoring pillows. And if you gasp, choke or stop breathing in your sleep, talk to your doctor about a sleep study.

MyPillow Pros and Cons

Pros

• Low entry price. The Classic starts under $30 on the company’s site, and it is often discounted at retailers.
• Easy care. The Premium is machine washable and dryable, which beats most foam pillows.
• Real return window. You get 60 days to decide, and the company refunds the purchase price minus shipping.
• Several lofts. The Premium comes in four, so you can fit it to your sleep position.
• Made in the USA. Both the company page and the Amazon listing say so.

Cons

• Lumps. The fill clumps with use, and it needed fluffing and some bits of foam showed up on the cover in our test.
• Return costs. Original shipping is not refunded, and you pay to send the pillow back.
• Unproven health claims. The company’s own fine print rests on opinion and user experience, not trials.
• Not for snoring. It is a regular pillow, not a positional or anti-snoring design.
• Warranty varies. It is 10 years on MyPillow’s Premium page and 2 years on the Amazon listing.

Our Recommendation

Skip the hype and treat MyPillow as a budget pillow you can return. If the price and the 60-day window appeal to you, it is a low-risk way to find out whether a shredded foam fill suits your neck.

Our personal favorite is still the Purple Pillow, which costs more but feels more even and less lumpy to us. You can see the current Purple Pillow options here.
