MyPillow Review: A Fair Budget Pillow, Not a Snoring Fix

I went into this review hoping a famous pillow might calm my snoring. After reading the research, my answer is that MyPillow is a fair budget pillow, and not a snoring fix. Details below, with prices as of October 2026.

What MyPillow Is

MyPillow is a standard bed pillow with a shredded foam fill in a cotton cover. Its site listed the Classic from $29.98 and the Premium from $49.98. The Premium is machine washable, and the company says it is made in the USA.

The Premium comes in four lofts, labelled by color. Yellow is the softest and blue is the firmest.

Does a Pillow Reduce Snoring?

There is little to suggest that it does. A 2024 systematic review of nine studies found positional therapy and raising the head of the bed to be reliable options for easing snoring.

A plain pillow does neither on purpose. My piece on whether a pillow can reduce snoring covers the questions to ask before you buy one.

Where Pillows Do Help

The evidence is stronger for neck pain. A 2021 meta-analysis of pillow designs found that some pillow types reduced neck pain in people with chronic neck pain.

None of the trials tested MyPillow itself, so treat that as a general point about pillow design.

The Guarantee and the Claims

MyPillow lists a 60-day guarantee, with the purchase price refunded minus shipping. Return shipping is on you.

The company agreed in 2016 to stop making some health claims, according to Truth in Advertising. I keep that in mind when an ad mentions snoring.

My Verdict

Buy it if you want a cheap pillow with a return window. Skip it if snoring is the problem you want solved.

For snoring, look at our anti-snoring pillow picks, or compare it with the other big name in MyPillow or Casper.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a regular pillow, so it is not designed to. Positional therapy has better support in the research.

Sixty days, with a refund of the purchase price minus shipping.

The Premium is listed as machine washable and dryable.

Changing sleep position helps some people. A mouthpiece helps others, and a doctor should check for sleep apnea.
