Ergonomic Design

Unlike traditional pillows that push on your head at awkward angles, the Eli & Elm Side Sleeper Pillow offers a unique ergonomic U-shape designed specifically for side sleeping. It’s curved shape allows the shoulders to rest naturally into the contour of the pillow while your neck rests in alignment. This cutout fills the gap between your head and mattress keeping your spine straight and supported throughout the night.
Ergonomic Design

Adjustable Loft

There is no one size fits all pillow, which is why we included a removable cover and zipper liner so you can add or remove fill to adjust the exact firmness that matches your needs. Whether you need extra support to keep your spine aligned or a lower profile for a softer feel, the Eli & Elm Side Sleeper can adapt to your unique sleep style and body composition.
Adjustable Loft

Cooling and Breathable

The side sleeper pillow uses open cell latex noodle with temperature control properties that promote airflow and breathability, making them a dream for hot sleepers. The ultra fine down-like polyester fiber creates an airy chamber dissipating heat so you can sleep cool all night long.
Cooling and Breathable

Soft and Plush or Firm and Supportive

Available in two fill options. Memory foam that gently contours to the curves of the head and neck delivering soft pressure relief. Or latex for responsive support that keeps your head neutral, and spine aligned.
Soft and Plush or Firm and Supportive

Non-Toxic

Your health matters as much as your comfort. That’s why the side sleeper is made with independently certified materials tested for harmful chemicals. The Eli & Elm memory foam side sleeper is certiPUR- US certified. This certification guarantees that the foam is made without harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, phthalates, or ozone depleters.
Non-Toxic

Neck Pain Relief

The side sleeper is designed to relieve neck pain by promoting proper alignment while you sleep. The curved U-shape fits around the shoulder keeping your neck level with your spine apposed to bending upward. Filling the gap between your neck and the mattress reduces strain on the cervical spine.

Side sleeper questions

Side sleepers need a higher loft pillow due to the large gap between the head and mattress. An ergonomic shape is recommended as it gives the shoulder room to comfortably sit while supporting the head and neck. Side sleeping puts extra pressure on the shoulder, a good supportive pillow will cushion that pressure preventing stiffness.
Compared to back or stomach sleepers, side sleepers need a higher loft pillow around 4-6 inches in height. Sleeping on your side creates the largest gap between your head and the bed. When side sleeping the neck angle is much more severe, even the slightest change in loft can cause severe neck pain. This is why it’s important to choose a pillow that offers adjustability by adding or removing fill. The Eli & Elm side sleeper pillow is adjustable with a max loft of 6”.
Both memory foam and latex pillows are excellent choices for side sleepers. It really comes down to your own personal comfort choice. Side sleepers with sensitive neck pain generally opt for memory foam due to the soft plush nature of foam. The “sinking in” feeling can reduce pressure on sensitive spots in our neck. Latex is a great option for side sleepers that want a firmer pillow that retains shape, sleeps cooler, and offers more support such as those sleepers with broad shoulders.
Yes. The side sleeper pillow is specifically designed to reduce the causes of neck pain by keeping your head and neck properly aligned. The ergonomic design and adjustable loft system makes it easy to customize the pillow specifically for your body. This prevents awkward angles relieving pressure points that cause strain on the neck.
Yes, the Eli & Elm memory foam side sleeper is certipur us certified. This certification guarantees that the foam is made without harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, phthalates, or ozone depleters. In addition, all Eli & Elm pillows are OKEO-TEX certified meaning they have been tested for harmful substances giving you peace of mind while you sleep.
Using a side sleeper pillow is easy! Simply lay on your side as you would normally. Place the pillow so the cutout fits snuggly against your shoulder. Center your head and neck on the pillow. Adjust the loft of the pillow as needed for proper spinal alignment. Test for comfort. Your neck should feel relaxed without any restrictions or pressure.

Finally! A pillow for me.
I love it! I am a side sleeper and I have always reshaped my pillow to fit my neck. Now I don't have to. I sleep longer without neck pain.

So comfy!
I LOVE my new pillow! I have been dealing with neck pain in the past couple months and now that I have been using Eli & Elm's side-sleeper pillow for about ten days, the pain is finally subsiding. Ingenious design with this unusual shape, I am obsessed with how comfortable it is. Plus the customer service is excellent.

Love the pillow
I was disappointed at first because I purchased the firm and thought I was sent the wrong firmness. I was later sent more filler, a little too much, but it feels better now. Customer service was great. I purchased this pillow because my daughter had one and I slept so much better. Last night after filling my pillow, I slept through the night. Thank you,

Excellent!!
My son and his partner bought the Eli and Elm side-sleeper pillow for themselves and for their guest rooms. I was fortunate enough to have one to sleep on for 10 days! Had a great night's sleep, best in a long while. I wasn't home for more than 2 days before I ordered two side-sleeper pillows for my husband and me! Best 2025 investment in our health! Don't wait.
