‘Just the right thickness, soft but supportive, cool, lump free and stays the right shape all night long. I have enjoyed better sleep for 2 weeks now’
When it comes to achieving a decent night’s kip, most of us immediately think of a comfortable pillow. Bensons for Beds has one particular option that shoppers claim to adore so much they’re ditching their old ones and describing it as a ‘Goldilocks moment’. The Simba Sleep Stratos Pillow has accumulated hundreds of glowing reviews and has been hailed as the ‘best’ on the market.
Crafted from Simba Renew 100% recycled polyester breathable fibre, the Simba Sleep Stratos Pillow allows filling to be removed in order to tailor its height and firmness to individual preferences. It also features a 100% soft cotton machine washable quilted cover to enhance comfort and maintain freshness.
One side of the pillow incorporates the Stratos cool-touch cover treatment, guaranteeing there’s always a cooler side to turn to. The Simba Sleep Stratos Pillow is reportedly suitable for all sleeping positions, with the website confirming it works well for ‘front, back and side sleepers’.
A 1 year free guarantee offers shoppers reassurance that their pillow will stand the test of time — particularly welcome given its £59.99 price tag. Additionally, it holds MTick accredited menopause-friendly status — endorsed by GenM, the independent menopause partner for brands, for helping to alleviate night sweats, one of the 48 signs of menopause.
For those seeking a more wallet-friendly option, there’s the Slumberland Recycled Support Pillow at £22.99, crafted entirely from recycled materials. Dusk is also offering a pair of ‘feels like down’ pillows for £23 on their website, though these lack the certification that comes with the Simba pillow.

This has been dubbed the ‘best pillow’ from shoppers who are swearing by it
If budget isn’t a primary consideration, there’s the Dunlopillo Super Comfort Pillow, specifically designed for side sleepers. Priced at £109.99, it sits at the premium end of the market but includes a 3-year guarantee. Dreams is also stocking the £149 TEMPUR Cloud Air SmartCool Soft Pillow, which claims to ease tension in the neck and shoulders — though it ranks among the pricier individual pillows we’ve encountered, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Simba Sleep Stratos Pillow has achieved an impressive average rating of 4.5 out of 5 from more than 1,500 reviews. One delighted customer said: “Best pillow I’ve slept on. Not too firm/ not too soft just right. A Golidilocks moment!”
Another buyer highlighted its neck support, saying: “These pillows are so great, I was usually one for stacking pillows on top of each other but I only need to sleep on one. They support my neck great whilst sleeping and ensure that there is no heavy points. They are so comfy and Simba was a great decision.”
However, one customer found the height didn’t quite suit them, commenting: “Fast delivery. Really lovely polite. Bounce back beautifully but just a bit high for me.”
Overall, it has proved a resounding hit, with one shopper claiming it is the only pillow that has left them completely pain-free. They explained: “This is a really great pillow. Before, I used one of three different pillows, swapping every couple of nights – none were perfect, each eventually gave me some kind of pain and I’d swap again.
“The simba pillow, now I have adjusted the amount of fill, is excellent. Just the right thickness, soft but supportive, cool, lump free and stays the right shape all night long. I have enjoyed better sleep for 2 weeks now.”
