I have a Coop pillow that is great after 6 years. original coop pillow

It's memory foam but in chips, so it doesn't push back at you like a chunk of memory foam.

Came here to say Coop as well. We've tried 5 or 6 different pillows, and this is the only one both my wife and I really like.

Do you have experience with Purple or Tuft & Needle by any chance? I also saw DreamyBlue on Amazon, where you fill the pillow with the memory foam shredding. Lifetime warranty as well

I tried a purple. I really wanted to like it, but it was way too “soft”. I felt like it gave little to no support. I wound up returning it.

Which purple pillow did you have and when did you buy it? I heard they are currently in V3 model because people said V2 and V1 were returned too much. Do you live in USA or international? I don't live in USA and wanted to try one out but none of the big box sleep stores carry it.

It was the Harmony version, probably 2 years ago.

I prefer a firm pillow and it was just too soft. I felt like it offered little to no support. My favorite has been a memory foam I picked up from Costco about 12 years ago.

Mine are from Ikea and are memory foam as well. Recently I've been hearing about some sort of jel being better than foam, especially for removing heat from your pillow/head.

I guess I'll skip purple harmony for now, and look at other ones. I'm thinking coop because of its Customer Reports review, its adjustable, jel and memory foam options, looks firm(ish?)

Just to give another viewpoint, I have the same Coop pillow and I didn't like it. It feels "airy" for lack of a better word, like it's not really supporting your head / neck. I feel like I can't relax and put my full weight on it. It's hard to explain. I've tried different fill levels. Maybe it's just a 'me' problem. It just didn't feel like other pillows in an unnatural way (to me).

They have a decent return policy though, so you can try it for yourself.

What pillow did you settle on? There are so many options. Purple seems interesting. Problem is that I've always used 2 pillows stacked, so would I need 2?

can you describe your and your wife's sleeping style? Also is the pillow: firm or soft?

Sleeping styles are mixed. Mostly side sleeping, with a little bit of back sleeping. The pillow can be made more or less firm by adding or removing filling. It comes with a certain amount in the pillow, plus a bag of extra filling in case you want to make it firmer.

Looks like I'll probably end up getting this pillow over getting purple. I basically have the same style as you.

Ha I read this as a coup pillow and immediately thought you meant the pillow guy. Clicked the link and realized.

How do you wash it?

There is a zipper on the end. You can dump out all the filling, wash the outside, and put the filling back.
