About Paul Clark
Paul Clark is a NASM Certified Sleep Science Coach with 6 years of experience in sleep coaching and sleep accessories.

Mattresses (2)
Glacier Original Hybrid Mattress Review
A 12-inch medium hybrid with zoned pocketed coils reinforced under the lumbar spine, a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty; pricier than unzoned rivals.
Novilla 6 Inch Gel Foam Twin Mattress Review
A thin certified gel-foam twin for older kids, bunk beds and spare rooms; heavier adults will feel the base.
Pillows (12)
Purple Harmony Pillow Review
An open GelFlex Grid over a Talalay latex core, designed for airflow and buoyant support; heavier and pricier than most pillows.
Coop Home Goods Cool+ Adjustable Pillow Review
An adjustable shredded-foam pillow with a cross-cut cooling cover and micro-cushion fill, built for hot sleepers who also need to set their own loft.
Coop Home Goods Original Pillow Review
An adjustable shredded-foam pillow you can set to your own loft for side, back or combination sleeping; expect a mild new-foam smell at first.
TEMPUR-Cloud Pillow Review
Tempur-Pedic's softest, most affordable pillow: a slow, cradling TEMPUR foam core that suits back sleepers; it runs warm and the loft is fixed.
Nuzzle Adjustable Pillow (Set of 2) Review
A pair of adjustable shredded gel memory foam pillows you can tune to your neck and shoulders; adjusting the fill is a little messy.
Casper Original Pillow 2-Pack Review
A pillow-in-a-pillow design built to hold a medium loft and be fully machine washable, sold as a 2-pack; the loft is not adjustable.
TEMPUR-Ergo Neck Pillow Review
A contoured, two-height TEMPUR foam pillow with a neck roll, aimed at back and side sleepers who hold one position; not for combination or stomach sleepers.
Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows Review
Soft gel-fiber pillows for back and stomach sleepers on a tight budget; expect fiber fill to flatten sooner than premium foam or latex.
DreamyBlue Signature Pillow Review
A gel memory foam pillow with a fixed medium loft for light-to-average side and back sleepers; the cover is spot-clean only.
Marlow Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow Review
An adjustable shredded memory foam pillow with a long 365-night trial that fits most positions once tuned; only the cover is washable.
Utopia Bedding Down Alternative Pillows Review
Very cheap, soft, fully washable down-alternative pillows suited to back and stomach sleepers; expect to replace them more often than premium pillows.
Weekender Gel Memory Foam Pillow Review
A budget, ventilated gel memory foam pillow with steady medium-firm support for back and side sleepers and a washable velour cover.
