I tried the internet-famous Beckham bed pillows and they did not disappoint

When was the last time you replaced your pillows? After all, experts recommend replacing them at least every two years (for hygiene reasons alone). And according to Amazon reviewers, the Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows—loved for their luxurious design, soft filling, and cooling effect—are some of the most treasured pillows you can own. These #1 bestsellers have received over 165,000 perfect reviews… could it all be a bunch of nonsense? Read on to learn more about what people are saying about the “best pillow ever” and read my personal review.

The hype

Good (read: plush but still pliable, soft but still durable) pillows don’t come cheap, and the Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows have gained a cult-like following, backed by thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, for offering a luxurious look and hotel-quality feel for less money. They’re often available for around $30 a piece—a fraction of what designer bedding brands cost—a worthwhile investment for discerning side, stomach, and back sleepers who credit the pillows with helping them get a good night’s sleep. And right now, there’s a 40% off Amazon Prime Day coupon, making these pillows $18 each.

“Wonderful pillows,” wrote one reviewer. “…Not really expensive, washable, sturdy, and firm soft or soft firm. As a side sleeper, my neck is supported and the feeling is cool and airy. For me, these are truly the best pillows I’ve had in a long time.”

“Soft and comfortable,” confirmed another. “…They’re cozy, snuggly, and just firm enough to keep your head from flopping around and leaving you sore in the morning. They’re a perfect addition to your guest room, unless your guests have to leave soon, because they’ll want to stay in your comfy bed forever!!!”

“Nice surprise!” exclaimed a third. “…I sleep on my stomach and side and these pillows provide both a softer feel and the neck support I need. I’ve tried pillows that were twice the price and were terrible. I’m very happy with these pillows and considering the great price for two, it was a great find.”

“The best pillow ever!” chimed in a fourth. “…The pillow wraps around my head like a soft cloud. After a good night’s sleep, it returns to its original size. No neck pain, no matter what position I sleep in. In fact, I don’t think I toss and turn at night anymore. I wake up every morning feeling refreshed and rested…”

The rest test

Intrigued, I purchased a pair of Beckham Hotel Collection bed pillows from Amazon and they arrived in a compact box within a few days. When I opened the box, I immediately felt their appeal – how luxurious they looked and how well made they appeared to be. I gave them a good fluff and after sleeping on them all night and many nights after, I can attest to how soft and supportive they really are (whether I’m on my side or back, I sleep comfortably all night and wake up feeling great).

I love that they’re filled with a down alternative (instead of real goose feathers), wrapped in a 250-thread count fabric for extra softness, and double stitched for extra durability and more “hotel quality.” They’re also sustainably made, made in an OEKO-TEX Standard certified factory, slip-resistant (meaning they won’t lose their shape over time), and infused with a gel for an extra cooling effect to keep you dry on warmer nights. Oh, and they’re hypoallergenic and machine washable, which makes them easy to care for and also helps prevent germs from growing. I’m getting a pair for my sister’s housewarming party and would recommend them to anyone planning on entertaining this season.
