Pros
- Adjustable fill
- Great price
Cons
- Memory foam just doesn’t have that same down feel
Now we were skeptical at first that this adjustable down alternative pillow really qualifies for the luxury category. But, we really, really love this pillow.

SFERRA Buxton Pillow
Pros
- Incredible feel
- Perfect weight
When we’re talking luxury bedding, no one is really matching SFERRA’s Italian heritage feel. The Buxton, believe it or not, is on the low end of the brand’s offering. That’s insane, considering this thing is filled with 600+ fill European goose down, and it’s miles more luxurious than anything else on this list.

Cozy Earth Silk Pillow
Pros
- Gentle on skin and allergies
- Price is high, but not outrageous
Cons
- Only one density option
Imagine telling a Roman emperor that someday regular people would be able to buy pillows that are filled with silk. Honestly, imagine just telling that to your grandparents.
The fact that Cozy Earth makes silk filled pillows is crazy, but their reasonable price tag and incredible performance might be even crazier. If you’re opposed to down but not a fan of the typical alternatives, this is one seriously luxurious solution.

The Citizenry Signature Down-Alternative Pillow
Pros
- Great imitation down
- Price is phenomenal
But, the best performing down alternative pillows are these from The Citizenry. In our testing, these were the absolute best at mimicking that traditional down pillow feel. Whatever poly fill The Citizenry uses, we’re huge fans of it.

Four Seasons Down & Feather Pillow
Pros
- Plush, hotel-style fill
- The packaging and dust bag are incredibly luxe, makes a whole experience
Cons
- Only the one fill type
Maybe it’s the free air conditioning you can turn down to 65 degrees. Maybe it’s the burden of traveling. But, everyone gets their best sleep in hotels.
We think the big plush pillows have a lot to do with it, though. For the best hotel-style down pillows we, or course, go straight to Four Seasons. In true hotel pillow style, the 25 percent down to 75 percent feather ratio makes these a lot more plush than other options on this list.

Pros
- Customizable support
- Really nice down, especially given the price
Cons
- Even the firm fill feels a bit plush
Classic, no-frills direct-to-consumer bedding. This Brooklinen pillow is as no fuss as down gets. But, simply by virtue of being an incredible down pillow, this one fits solidly in the luxury category. We’ll also shout it out because you can choose the amount of support you want.

Saatva Graphite Memory Foam Pillow
Pros
- Doesn’t run as hot as other memory foam pillows
- Nice and firm
We’re guilty of putting a lot of stake in down. While it’s objectively the most luxurious thing to put your head on at night, memory fam can, in fact, be luxurious. But, the issue is that it retains heat. This Saatva pillow has graphite infused in with the memory foam to help it keep cool.

Pros
- Great for all sleepers
- Perfect if you want a firm pillow
Cons
- Traps heat a bit too much
We’ve shouted this thing out in our testing of best pillows for neck pain, and would say it’s worth of the luxury top spot. There’s a lot of sleeping positions that can give you neck pain, but this Tempur-pedic pillow is the one that can help you in any of them. Side sleepers use the taller side, back and stomach sleepers the other.
The only issue is that being totally made of memory foam, this one runs hot.

Pros
- Plush hotel-style down fill
- The best option for a square pillow
Soho Home—the retail wing of the now famous members’ hotel—makes great pillows. Much like the Four Seasons option, these are just direct-to-consumer hotel pillows, so choosing between the two was tough. The place Soho Home wins though is in making a great square Euro pillow.
