If pillows are so important for a restful slumber, why are so many of us sleeping on the wrong kinds? In one study on more than 100 people, those who reported poor-quality sleep said their pillows were also uncomfortable. One common mistake: buying a feather pillow.

When shopping for a new set, go for polyester and latex—two types, the study found, that are more highly rated for comfort.
