The Best Pillows Australia (Reviewed & Compared)

Are you a combination sleeper? No problem. Koala has designed a fantastic pillow that’s suitable for all types of sleepers. Even if your habits change over time, the pillow will be perfectly accommodating to your new sleeping positions.

The Koala is made of CertiPUR-US-certified polyurethane gel foam and it’s ventilated. The improved airflow means the pillow won’t make you sweat or feel hot. The cover is a combination of TENCEL™ Lyocell (34%) and polyester (66%) and therefore feels very soft to the touch.

Moreover, the edges are firmer than the middle part of the pillow. This was done intentionally, so your neck would have sufficient support whatever position you’re sleeping in, while you’re enjoying the overall coziness of the pillow. 

Many customers claim the Koala is the best pillow for a sore neck in Australia, and here’s the main reason for that. It features two firmness levels—firm and soft—depending on the side. So, if you think it’s too firm or not firm enough for you, just flip it and fix the problem easily. 

Finally, you’ll get 120 nights to try out your new dream companion. If you fail to fall in love with it during the trial period, you’ll get a full refund. No questions asked.

Let’s see what inspired us to include Peacelily on our list. 

First of all, this brand certainly knows how to design top quality pillows using only organic and natural, non-toxic materials. Therefore, the pillow is completely free of any synthetic materials.

The Peacelily is created from 100% natural Dunlop latex, and it comes with a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover. On top of that, this handmade pillow is delivered in recyclable packaging, so you don’t have to worry about any negative impact on the environment with this order.

Both the pillow and its cover provide excellent temperature regulation and moisture transfer thanks to the outstanding breathability of the natural materials. This is why the Peacelily is also a great option for hot sleepers or people living in warmer climates.

In addition, this pillow is labelled as a mid-profile one, meaning that it’s most suitable for side and back sleepers. Latex pillow reviews written by users say it’s also got a medium-firm-to-firm feel to it. This means it will provide more than enough neck support in these sleeping positions. 

The company offers a one year warranty and a 100 nights trial so you can make sure that this is the right pillow for you.

Ecosa is a company that has a fresh perspective on things since it’s fairly young. However, it’s managed to build a great reputation in quite a short time by providing some of the highest-rated memory foam mattresses and best quality pillows in Australia. 

Ecosa’s design includes three elements any customer would want to see in a pillow: removable and washable cover, breathable 3D structure, and activated charcoal memory foam. 

Why is this foam so special? This black beauty is specially designed to get rid of the annoying odours that pillows can sometimes start emitting over time.

There is yet another feature that numerous customers praise in pillow reviews—the elevation pads. You can customize the height depending on your preferences and needs by adding or removing the two pads that come with the Ecosa. 

Just slip them under the pillow to get the perfect height for any sleeping position. Bear in mind they should be adjusted according to one’s body size:

• Small and medium size – pillow only
• Medium and large – pillow + one pad
• Large and extra large – pillow + two pads.

Furthermore, the pillow comes with a compression bag, so you can also use it as a travel pillow if necessary. When compressed, it will fit any suitcase or backpack. 

The only downside we’ve noticed was the 100-day warranty, which is pretty short compared to the rest of the pillows on the list. Still, you have a chance to test it for 100 days before deciding whether to commit, so the shorter warranty’s no reason to worry.

Spinaleze is a company founded by a chiropractor that managed to design some of the best pillows in Australia that help people with neck and back problems. You can choose between four profiles, depending on the sleeping position and height: low, medium, high, or children’s pillow.

In this review we’ll talk about the pillow for back sleepers–the low profile model. Its main purpose is to provide adequate support for the spine without compromising comfort. 

The first unordinary thing about it is the material it’s made of, the proprietary Aerated Visco Material. It gives sleepers a unique feeling of weightlessness and pressure relief through excellent contouring and proper neck and spine alignment.

You’ve probably noticed that many back sleepers have problems with snoring. So besides looking for effective anti-snoring devices, some users claim that this top rated pillow may help reduce snoring to an extent, but also ease muscle soreness.

Let’s not forget to mention that thanks to its ultrafresh and anti-dustmite properties, the pillow is also suitable for people with asthma.

The obvious downside is the price, which excludes this product from the ‘affordable’ category. However, Spinaleze pillows also come with a free diamond quilted pillowcase worth $79 and they’re covered by a one-year warranty. 

So, we’re free to say that, considering the outstanding quality and reputation, the price is more than justified.

Sleeping Duck is known for its top-notch mattresses and pillows designed to accommodate as many types of sleepers as possible. For this reason, we were excited about their unique pillow. 

What we liked the most about it is its adaptability. Simply put, when you place your head on the pillow, you’ll feel that it has a soft, and at the same time, firm foundation. 

The responsible culprit for this is the brand’s patented AntiGravity foam, a combination of memory foam and latex, which boasts the best features from both materials—lightness, firmness and softness. 

AntiGravity foam is manufactured through pressure expansion. Since it’s airgrown no chemical reactions are necessary to expand it, so it’s significantly safer and more pleasant to sleep on.

This brings us to the reason for its ‘best for hot sleepers’ title. Pillow reviews focus a lot on the cooling features of this special material. What distinguishes Sleeping Duck pillows from other mixed foam pillows. The foam is eight times more open, allowing the heat to escape faster.

Lastly, the pillow comes with a 100-night trial period, which is plenty of time to decide if it’s worth your time and money. Bear in mind that you may have to pre-order it, in which case it might take about a week for your pillow to arrive.

Sommuto has designed top rated pillows by blending memory foam and excellent design to allow you to feel like you’re floating while sleeping. 

Firstly, the brand’s improved polyurethane foam is odourless, conforms to your contours and provides sufficient support without creating pressure areas. The pillow’s moulded in such a way that it contains micro-piercings for improved air circulation and temperature regulation. 

Moreover, Sommuto’s products are ethically manufactured and recyclable. Since the company employs the CO2 foaming process, their pillows are safer to use and safer for the environment. They contain no formaldehyde, mercury, or lead.

Here’s another thing we have to mention about this memory foam pillow in our review. The Sommuto is dust mite resistant and incredibly easy to maintain. 

If you need to clean it, all you have to do is put it in a washing machine and you’re all set. This is especially convenient for people suffering from asthma or allergies. 

The only downside we noticed was that the pillow doesn’t come with a cover, unlike most others. However, since it’s machine-washable, a simple pillowcase is quite enough to keep it clean and fresh.

Lastly, if you decide to purchase the Sommuto pillow, you’ll have 100 days to see if it’s the right fit for you.

Macoda designed some seriously good memory foam pillows with their own take on memory foam. To be ahead of its competitors, the company decided to mix classic memory foam with bamboo charcoal and add a unique cooling gel glaze for that extra touch of freshness.  

First, the CertiPUR-US®-Certified memory foam allows the pillow to conform to your contours. The cover is made of Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified bamboo, which is eco-friendly, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. The pillow features an open structure so it’s very breathable.

Additionally, the purpose of introducing bamboo charcoal is, among other things, to get rid of excessive heat, odour, and moisture. With cooling gel added to the foam, you get a pillow that prevents heating buildup and keeps you cool the whole night, like a regular cooling pillow would.

A considerable number of users also claim that the Macoda Pillow is one of the best pillows for neck pain in Australia, which is not surprising. Thanks to the dual comfort design, it’s suitable for all sleeping positions. So, there’s a firmer, cool side and a softer, comfy side.   

The company offers a three-year warranty, and a 60 nights trial. In case you don’t like the pillow you’ll get a full refund.

This little zone of comfort created by Dunlopillo is filled with 90% Talalay latex that provides strong support for your neck, keeping your spine aligned. Also called “Earth’s most perfect sleep material”, Talalay latex is a breathable, cozy, and safe material you can often find in pillows. 

Since latex regulates the pillow’s temperature, you’ll sleep on a cool pad during the summer while feeling warm during the winter. This is a medium-firm pillow that most back and side sleepers will find very comfortable. However, stomach sleepers should choose low profile pillows. 

Moreover, this pillow is suitable for people with allergies and asthma for two reasons. First, the cotton sateen cover is removable and machine-washable. Second, the pillow is hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, and anti-dust mite thanks to the nature of Talalay latex.

What’s more, this reputable company’s products are endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA). Latex pillow reviews in Australia praise the level of comfort and support it provides to the neck and the head without being too firm or creating pressure anywhere.

Finally, though the Dunlopillo pillow does not come with a trial period, it’s covered by a remarkably generous ten-year warranty.

Luckily, a lot of manufacturers work on designing ideal pillows for kids. But here’s where Dentons steals the spotlight—the company’s been creating top-notch pillows for over 40 years. This is why we decided to put Dentons children’s classic pillow on our top 9 list. 

Firstly, this traditional-looking pillow has a low profile and is suitable for all sleeping positions, especially sleeping on the back and the side.

Additionally, the Children’s Classic is meant for children aged four and older. The filling is made of hypoallergenic 100% Invista® Comforel fibre, that can easily adjust to any sleeping position. While it feels like memory foam, this material features even better adaptability.

The 100% Japara cotton cover is very soft to the touch and hypoallergenic. Both the pillow and the cover are machine washable, so you can put the entire pillow in your machine and tumble dry it. Therefore, this is a really good pillow for children with asthma or sensitive skin.

You’ll be happy to know that the company offers a five year warranty with this pillow. However, there is no trial period and the products are non-exchangeable and non-refundable.
