Suissly Pillow Review
A self-described fussy pillow tester finally found one worth keeping — the Medium Soft, not its firmer sibling.
The first moment I lay my head on this baby I knew I'd finally found my dream pillow.
Our reviewerFinally, a Pillow Worth Keeping
We received two free Suissly pillows to test — a Medium Firm and a Medium Soft — with our opinions our own. As a self-admittedly fussy pillow person who cycles through hotel pillows and travels with one from home, that's a high bar to clear.
The Firm version didn't work for us: it ran too thick and firm, better suited to sleepers who like being propped up. The Medium Soft was the opposite story. From the first night, it delivered exactly the soft-but-shape-holding feel we'd been searching for, and three weeks in, it had fully replaced our old pillow.
Beyond feel, the Medium Soft held its shape without clumping, stayed at a neutral temperature through the night, and uses a hypo-allergenic fill made in the USA. The only real downsides are price — at $70, it's not cheap — and sizing, since Suissly only comes in Jumbo and King, which just barely fit our existing pillowcases.
For anyone who has tried a string of mediocre pillows and is ready to spend more to get it right, the Medium Soft earned a permanent spot on our bed.
Why We Love It
- Medium Soft version is perfect for both back and side sleepers
- Pillows hold their shape and don't clump
- Hypo-allergenic filling
- Stays a neutral temperature and won't overheat during the night
- Made in the USA
Considerations
- Firm version was too thick for our tester
- Pillow costs $70
- Only comes in Jumbo and King sizes
Our Hands-On Review
We tested both firmness options over several weeks. The Firm pillow felt too thick and propped-up for our taste on the first night. The Medium Soft was the clear winner from the very first use, and three weeks later it had fully replaced our previous pillow with no regression in comfort.
Beyond initial comfort, the Medium Soft held its shape night after night rather than clumping down the way cheaper pillows do, and it stayed at a consistent, neutral temperature throughout testing.
A Pillow That Doesn't Go Flat
Unlike pillows that clump and lose shape within weeks, the Suissly Medium Soft held its form through three weeks of nightly use — the detail that most won over our notoriously particular pillow tester.

The Bottom Line
The Suissly Medium Soft won over a genuinely hard-to-please pillow tester and held its shape for weeks. It's pricey, but for back and side sleepers who want a soft pillow that doesn't go flat, it's worth it.
