Close, but no crown. I love Bearaby's latex cooling pillow — but a key drawback stops it from being our new No 1

When I think of Bearaby, I think of snug sleep comforts, like stress-busting weighted blankets and knot pillows. So I was eager to get my hands on the Bearaby SoftForm pillow, to see if it can deliver the same signature coziness and land a place in our guide to the best pillows for every sleep style.

Type: Latex
Best for: Side sleepers, hot sleepers
Sizes: 28" x 16"
Trial: 30 nights
Warranty: 1-year
Price: $149 at Bearaby

The SoftForm pillow is made from Melofoam, a latex foam developed by Bearaby. Latex foam is known for its spring, a natural bounce back that means the pillow won't go flat when you change position. And the SoftForm pillow has some of that, with materials that return to shape as soon as you move.

But it's a softer version of a latex pillow. You don't properly sink into it (you'll need memory foam for that) but it does gently contour to the ear and jaw to relieve pressure build-up. And there's one feature of latex that the SoftForm pillow has in spades: temperature regulation. It's incredibly breathable, staying a neutral feel even on hot nights.

The 6" loft should keep most side sleepers happy and the softer feel can accommodate back sleepers as well. But the single loft with no adjustability feels like a missed opportunity.

It's too high for me as a stomach sleeper, and I suspect side sleepers with wide shoulders will find it too shallow. For me, and considering the Bearaby SoftForm Pillow costs $149, this is a key drawback in the pillow's design.
