Honeydew Essence Side Pillow vs Layla Kapok Pillow

The Layla Kapok is the safer pick for most shoppers: a shredded memory foam and kapok blend you can unzip and adjust, a 30-night trial and a 5-year warranty. The Honeydew Essence is a curved, zippered side-sleeper pillow with a bamboo viscose cover and Oeko-Tex and CertiPUR-US certifications, but it is a fixed shape with a 3-year warranty and no trial. Side sleepers who want a shaped pillow with a cool cover lean Honeydew; anyone unsure of their loft, or who sleeps on their back or stomach too, should take the Layla.

• Choose the Honeydew Essence if you sleep strictly on your side and want a curved, zippered pillow with a cooling bamboo viscose cover and a hidden zipper.
• Choose the Layla Kapok if you want to add or remove fill to set your own loft, and you value a 30-night trial and a 5-year warranty.
