I've said it once (okay, maybe more than once), and I'll say it again: treat yo' self, bb! And that refers to your precious beauty rest, too. We spend a LOT of time in bed, so it's worth upgrading that worn-out pillow you've been sleeping on for years. Sure, you can find some truly good, top-notch pillows on Amazon, but if you want an upgrade that makes you feel like you're on vacation every single night, you should invest in some quality hotel pillows. After all, half the fun of going on vacay is swimming in the hotel room's dreamy duvet covers while resting on the plushest pillow of your life, right?

In case you didn't know, you can buy many of the same exact pillows you'd find in the dreamiest five-star hotels around the world. Yes, rlly. I'm talking pillows from luxurious hotels like The Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, and St. Regis. Luckily for you, I did some research (and snoozing) to find the best hotel pillows to bring you that five-star sleeping experience at home. If any of this is calling your name (cause it's sure calling mine), here's a lil peek at the ones worth buying right now:

Our top picks for the best hotel pillows of 2024:

Oh, and while you're upgrading your bed, don't forget to add some super soft sheets and down comforters to really get that 10/10 hotel experience.
