If you’re unsure whether to invest in an anti-wrinkle pillow, take it from one of the biggest supermodels of all time, Cindy Crawford: “I’ve noticed I’ve not only gotten fewer pillow lines but it’s better for my hair.”
WATCH: These Everyday Habits Could Be Giving You Wrinkles
Anti-wrinkle pillows will generally encourage back sleeping, which in itself will help prevent your delicate skin from being squished into a pillow from lying on your side.
Other benefits are that it helps your moisturiser stay on your face and can even reduce the pain of TMJ for those of us who grind our teeth in our sleep. Nothing to do with beauty, but worth a mention.
Here are some of the best anti wrinkle pillows for side sleepers, back sleepers and anyone who wants to maintain a youthful glow for as long as possible.
After all, if Cindy Crawford says it works, it’s probably worth a try.
If you’re not ready to commit to a whole new pillow yet, you can start small by investing in a silk pillowcase that has plenty of skincare benefits.
While it won’t be as wrinkle-defying as a custom pillow, sleeping on silk is shown to absorb significantly less face cream and create less friction compared to a cotton pillowcase.
That means it’s much kinder on your hair and skin while you sleep.
You can pick up our favourite Silvi mulberry silk pillowcases here for just $89, and they come in a huge range of colours so they’re guaranteed to suit your bedroom decor. Now, on to the pillows!
Back To Beauty Pillowcase, $141 via Amazon
The Back to Beauty anti-ageing pillow claims to be saving faces one pillow at a time. The form fitting head cradle helps keep your head in place and trains you to sleep on your back.
Which, according to the American Academy of Dermatology is proven to help keep the pressure off your face while you snooze, and hence, less wrinkles.
The Back to Basic pillow comes with three pillow cases: cotton, satin and a plush pillowcase with maximum support to hold your head in place.

One reviewer said: “I used to sleep on my stomach, leaving me with lines all over my face and chest in the morning.

Ever since then, I changed my habits because it has forced me to start sleeping on my back!”
