The Best Thin Pillows
Some Helpful Info:
- It can be really hard to find a good thin - aka low-profile - pillow. Often, small differences in height can be the difference between blissful sleep and a night of tossing and turning.
- We looked high - and especially - low to find a number of low profile pillows for you to choose between.
- Thin pillows can be complicated because there is actually a point where there become too thin to really even be a pillow anymore. This size differs depending on whether layering is possible. So, while a 1 or 2 inch tall down or down alternative pillow would be perfect to supplement another thin pillow, a 1 or 2 inch foam pillow would be pretty useless on top. It might go on the bottom, but this combination would create a much different head and neck feel than you might otherwise get.
- We've tried to offer a bunch of different options, from down to down alternative and from memory foam to latex

The Best Low Profile Pillow Out There:
DOWNLITE Flat & Soft Down Pillow
Downlite is the n'est plus ultra of thin pillow brands. The Flat & Soft Down Pillow is made with 75% white duck down. It is about 2 inches thick, but the high down content means that 2 inches can turn into 8 inches if you fluff it up. It is a little on the expensive side, but it is worth it.

The Best Low Profile Pillow For Fans of Memory Foam:
BLISSBURY Stomach Sleeping Pillow - Thin Memory Foam
There is a lot of competition in this part of the market. If you know the exact hight you want to the tenth of an inch, you can probably find it. But if you're not sure yet, Blissbury is starting to make a name for itself as a good option. This pillow is 3.3 inches thick, but you can also get an even thinner version that it only is 2.6 inches.

The Best Extra Thin Down Pillow:
DOWNLITE Down Extra Thin, Flat & Soft Pillow
If you like what Downlite is offering, but you think a pillow that can be fluffed up to 8 inches in height just isn't going to do it for your neck, they offer an even thinner option. This pillow can fluff up to 6 inches. With your head on it, that goes down to maybe 1 inch. It is hard to measure at that end of the spectrum. This pillow is also great if you want a good new pillow to supplement your old pillow that has seen better days but is just too perfect to throw out.
