Coop Home Goods Original Crescent Adjustable Pillow, Queen Bed Pillows for Shoulder, Neck & Head Support, Crescent Foam Pillows - Medium Firm for Back & Side Sleeper, CertiPUR-US/GREENGUARD Gold

I am not one to usually take the time to write a review, but with this pillow I felt the need to share my experience. I just have to say, I LOVE my Coop pillow! I picked the "cut-out" version after I saw a video ad on Instagram from a fellow side sleeper. As someone that has always been a side sleeper, I am used to smooshing two pillows together to force them to form around my neck so I can essentially "hug" my pillow and get adequate neck support. This has mostly worked, but it has become inconvenient over time. After doing some research, I decided to pay the high price and try out the coop pillow, and I love it! I now only have 1 pillow at night, as it is so fluffy (I put it in the dryer to floof it per the instructions) and it is the perfect contouring shape for hugging and neck support. I can't see myself ever needing a different pillow after this one!Note: There was a smell coming off the pillow that wasn't very pleasant, but after about 4 days it was significantly better! The Coop website does give some tips to try and get rid of the smell faster.Ultimately, I give this pillow 5 stars for comfort, and I definitely think it is worth the price!

I’ve finally found a pillow that works for me! I’ve been able to adjust a pillow where I can get a great nights sleep without neck pain. Very comfortable!

I am very particular about pillow density, support, suppleness and breath-ability due to being a stomach sleeper, which is why blindly purchasing pillows from the internet is uncharacteristic of me. I am the sort who needs to be in store and squishing and holding every pillow to test their viable characteristics. My risk taken was due to video reviews and the likes while researching new pillow contenders. This is my first online pillow purchase, and my reactions below are authentic.When I say this is the best pillow I have ever used, I am not exaggerating. It lives up to all its hype and then some. Out of the box in its flattened, freshly unrolled state I could already see the potential. The removable casing feels quilted in layers and doughy soft. The material is soft and sleek and not cheap, abrasive or starchy material which might feel unpleasant to the skin. Quite the contrary, it feels amazing to the touch and, more importantly, to the cheek.I did not have access to the laundry facilities in our apartments just yet, so it fluffed itself halfway within an hour. I fluffed it even more so, then stuck them in a drier for ten minutes. I could not believe how much more fluffy they became. They were robust and heavy but oh so squishy.We had purchased two pillows, but I also purchased an additional casing because I knew I would be removing considerable filler fluff as I am a stomach sleeper and we require less volume. My partner, however, is a side/back sleeper, and did not adjust any of the filler and is absolutely content. I took our two additional fluff bonus rolls plus about 35-40% of the fluff from my original pillow and made a whole new pillow with the additional casing. Oddly, this is the pillow I favor the most and I will tell you why.Our first night we had put pillow protectors on our new Coop pillows and then pillow cases, and we noticed that the pillows weren't quite as nice as when they first came out of the dryer. I realized what was causing this: the external pillow protectors had compacted the pillows and made them hard and full of air like two puffy, unforgiving balloons. The purchased pillows themselves come with an internal pillow protector which holds all the fluff, and apparently that's the only protector you need (the casing and pillow are washable). My franken-pillow I'd made with the extra fluff did not have one of these as I was unaware of the internal casing.Once we ripped the external protectors off (but kept the pillow cases, of course), the pillows were perfect and squishy and oh so soft once more. This is how we have kept them ever since. My franken-pillow is even more squishy and soft than the purchased pillows because it has no internal casing holding the innards together. I will have to get one so that I can launder these when needed, but right now am enjoying the luxury indulgence of it as is.If you are hesitant to buy one of these for yourself, I would say, throw caution to the wind. Hands down, these are the best pillows I have ever used, and I have used many, many pillows throughout my long life and travels.

This pillow is nice and fluffy but holds your head and neck in place. Comfy to a side sleeper. My biggest complaint is it had a slight odor. I put in dryer with fabric softener sheet for a couple of hours on low and aired it out multiple times with no pillow case and it still had slight smell. It’s only a minimal smell but you notice when you lay your head on it. Doesn’t smell up the room or anything, and I didn’t feel like I couldn’t sleep on it. Finally, I took the case off again and sprinkled each side with baking soda and rubbed it in, then let air out for a day again. Vacuumed each side and it’s gone!

This pillow has been one of the most worthwhile splurges I’ve ever made. I’m a side sleeper. For the first 5 minutes of laying on it I was convinced I had made a mistake in buying it. It was hurting my neck so I readjusted it until the C shaped cut out was fully pressed up against my shoulder and my head was centered on the pillow.I can’t tell you how it felt after that because I was immediately asleep! I’ve never been able to fall asleep easily on account of my ADHD. My normal routine for decades has been to ruminate for 20-30 minutes (if lucky) after taking some sleeping aid until I manage to drift off. This pillow has done for me what no medication or routine has managed to do for me before.I can’t explain why it works so well for me exactly but it has changed my relationship with sleep in a pretty profound way. I bought one for my spouse and he’s been loving it. He has scoliosis so finding a good pillow for him has been even harder to do. Coop has loyal customers in this household now! We’ve since bought their body pillow too which is equally as nice in terms of the quality and squish. It is great to hug!If you are on the fence about spending this much on a pillow, I relate. Having taken the risk, I’d encourage anyone who can comfortably afford to splurge on a fancy pillow to try this one out. It could end up being the thing that helps you get more sleep, which, if you are reading this far into a review for a pillow, you can probably agree, is practically priceless.
