Match loft to your sleep position: side sleepers need 5-6 inches (firm), back sleepers 3-4 inches (medium), stomach sleepers 2-3 inches (soft). Down is luxurious but expensive and needs fluffing. Down-alternative (gel fiber) is washable, hypoallergenic, and cheaper — most people can't tell the difference after a month.
The Beckham 2-pack uses gel fiber fill that stays cool and doesn't clump. The medium loft works for most back and side sleepers. At $30 per pillow, it's a fraction of luxury brands like Parachute ($150). Machine washable — toss in with your sheets.
Anyone with a 2+ year old pillow (industry says replace every 18-24 months). Hot sleepers should look at the Acanva cooling version. People with feather allergies should choose down-alternative, not real down.
Side sleepers need a firm, high-loft pillow (5-6 inches). The Beckham Hotel Collection firm model works. Back sleepers want medium loft (3-4 inches). Stomach sleepers want soft, low loft.
Quality down pillows last 5-7 years. Fluff daily and air out weekly. Down-alternative pillows last 2-3 years before they go flat permanently.
Beckham Hotel Collection gives hotel-quality comfort at a fraction of the price. Most people keep a pillow 3+ years past its prime — if yours is lumpy or flat, this is the cheapest sleep upgrade.
