In fact, many reviewers switched to their favorite hotel pillow to mimic the relaxing, comforting sleep environment they had while on their last vacation. Below, the top pillow picks from the hotels and resorts you know and love.

And while you’re building your dream bed, don’t miss out on the best silk sheets and feng shui bedroom ideas to help you achieve the most restful sleep possible.

Four Seasons Down & Feather Pillow

You can also pair them with the this pillow case set to make it really feel like you’ve checked in to the Four Seasons. The only real con? You’re going to need to go to your local dry cleaner when it needs a good wash.

The Ritz-Carlton Pillow

1 Hotels Organic Cotton Pillow

1 Hotels are known for offering the ultimate sustainable luxury resort experience.

To bring that feeling into the comfort of their own homes, many guests return with one of their pillows.

A Kassatex review says: “This is literally the best pillow I’ve ever owned! Stayed at a 1 Hotel recently and knew I had to get one! So why not get two?! Lol! I’m telling everyone about these pillows.”

Sizes: Standard/Queen, King | Materials: Recycled down or down alternative fill, organic cotton shell

Waldorf Astoria Feather & Down Pillow

Before you pick your perfect pillow, you need to pick your own adventure: soft or firm. Waldorf Astoria makes both, so you can choose the one that you’ll appreciate most. As a bonus, you can throw it in the wash when you need to clean it.

Sizes: Queen, King | Materials: Feather and down fill, 100% cotton cover

Westin Feather & Down Pillow

Some hotel pillows have various blends of feather and down, but this one is exactly 50/50. It’s also machine washable, and it’s another one you can purchase with your Bonvoy points.

Sizes: Queen, King | Materials: 50% down and 50% feather fill, 100% cotton cover

Downlite 10/90 White Goose Down Medium Hotel Chamber Pillow

With more feathers than down, this is a more supportive, firmer hotel pillow than most. These are used at many luxury hotels and resorts, most notably the Plaza in New York City. Downlite recommends this particular pillow for side sleepers and notes that you may need to break it in to give it the proper hotel feel. Happy customers also expressed gratitude for Downlite’s excellent customer service.

A Downlite review says: “My husband loves his new pillow! Their product is luxury at his finest. Most importantly I want to note the customer service I have received. Downlite has gone above and beyond in helping me. So nice to be treated so well! We are forever customers!”

Sizes: Standard, Queen, King | Materials: 10% white goose down and 90% feathers fill, 100% cotton cover

Fairmont Synthetic Gel Fibre Pillow

Unlike most classic hotel pillows, which have down and feather fills, this one from Fairmont hotels is packed with antibacterial and antimicrobial polyester fibers. It’s specifically made with allergy sufferers in mind, but it doesn’t skimp on softness and support. Plus, you can choose between medium and firm.

A Fairmont review says: “I am allergic to feathers but I love a luxurious bed. These pillows are just the best on the market. *From a very hard to please sleeper that knows luxury!”

Sizes: Queen, King | Materials: 100% polyester fiber filling, 100% cotton cover

Hilton Feather & Down Pillow

Feathers in the inner chamber and down on the outer chamber give this pillow the balanced blend you need for a comfortable rest. And similar to other hotel pillows, you can decide whether you want a firm or soft fill.

Sizes: Standard/Queen, King | Materials: Feathers (inner chamber), down (outer chamber), 100% cotton cover

Hanse FeatherFree Pillow

For a popular down alternative, this featherless one is a favorite at hotels like Fairmont, Hilton, Six Senses, and Hyatt. In lieu of down or feathers, the filling is made from 100 percent poly-fiber balls, which users say make it both firm and fluffy. Some did note that there was too much filling or was slightly too firm.

A Hanse review says: “I’ve always been pretty picky about my pillow selection and found this pillow in a European hotel. Loved it so much that I took a picture of the tag and bought it as soon as I arrived home. I love it!”

Sizes: Jumbo, King | Materials: 100% poly-fiber fill, 100% cotton cover

Montage Luxury Feather Pillow

Montage resorts and hotels are located on coastlines, in mountain towns, and other luxurious destinations. Pretend like you’ve just checked in by investing in one of their feather pillows, which has a white goose down and feather blend in the fill. It’s also designed for durability, with a preshrunk cover and extra stitching. One challenge could be its time of arrival, since you can expect delivery to take as long as 20 weeks.

Sizes: Queen, King | Materials: 25% white goose down and 75% hypoallergenic white goose feather fill, 100% cotton cover

The Marriott Pillow

You don’t necessarily need to pay more than $100 on a hotel pillow, which is where the Marriott Pillow comes in. It’s one of the more affordable picks out there, and it has near-countless rave reviews online. One common note, however, is that it was flatter than some customers expected, so it may require some extra fluffing.

A Pillows.com review says: “The pillow is soft and comfortable. I was surprised how heavy the pillow is. I would recommend it for side or back sleeper."

Sizes: Standard, Queen, King | Materials: Duck feathers (inner chamber), 70% white down and 30% natural Lyocell fibers (outer chamber), 100% cotton cover
