" We know that when you finally find a pillow that&amp;#039;s comfortable all night, you want it to last forever. Here at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI)\u2014that&amp;#039;s me with some of the pillows we tested\u2014we pummeled, folded, washed, and eyeballed 66 pillows made of fiberfill, down and feathers, memory foam, wool, latex, and combinations of fillers to determine how they&amp;#039;ll stand up to sleep-filled (hopefully) nights. These are some of the questions we considered as we structure our methodology: Were the pillows easy to get into a pillowcase? I know this seems silly, but anyone who&amp;#039;s ever struggled to get a pillow into a case, knows this is important. How pillows would look after a spin in the washer? Any pillows that were washable, went through a cycle in the washing machine to see if the filling turned lumpy, the outer fabric pilled or snagged or the pillows just looked ratty. Will pillows support your head? First, we put the pillows through the classic &amp;quot;break test&amp;quot;: Fold pillow in half, place a heavy book on it. If the pillow flipped off the book and puffed back up, it&amp;#039;s going to cradle your head. Next, on each pillow, we placed thirty pounds of weights and let it &amp;quot;rest&amp;quot; overnight to see how fast the filling fluffed back up. How the pillows look? Lastly, we had a panel of consumers inspect the washed pillows and tell us if they still looked good enough to use.
