We looked up to a tiny mew and my cat was VERY concerned. 😂 He’s going to teach small children, and I’m going to be a social worker. And then parents.

as a side sleeper, i have had a purple pillow for about three years and i will never go back. if you put a regular pillow underneath it, the square shape perfectly fits that 90 degree angle of your neck and shoulder! also the pillow being so cold feeling is actually very beneficial to sleep. colder temperatures facilitate more melatonin production and help to get you into deep sleep!

Thank you for this! I'm a side sleeper looking for a pillow that won't cause me neck pain

I have the purple pillow harmony in both sizes and while I have enjoyed the regular for a year, it’s better for back sleeping. I need more support for my neck and shoulders and the larger size is a bit too large for me. Currently testing out the pillow cube deluxe as I’m predominantly a side sleeper. Their leg pillow is great so far!

my favorite pillow was a minecraft pillow i got from a booth at an anime convention. it was comfortable, soft, breathable, and fit into a hammock perfectly. i only ever slept on it when i was homeless and i lived in my car, inside of which i strung up a hammock to sleep in. it has sentimental value, but was also genuinely the best pillow i ever had. 10/10 to me

I've worked in the sleep industry since I was 16. The biggest thing overlooked with pillows is keeping them clean, use a pillow protector and change your pillow case every week or so. If you battle with acne or other skin/hair conditions, keeping a surface you spend 1/3 of your time resting your head on will greatly help and just make you feel better!! Depends on your width but you want a thinner or softer pillow if you're a back/stomach sleeper and a thicker or firmer pillow if you're a side sleeper.

[@elmadicine]

as a recent purple pillow owner and lover (I live in a very hot climate), I can attest that for pillow fight applications, it's like bringing a missile launcher to a knife fight. I would never bring it on a flight, but for road trips, it's so darn good I'd be willing to proudly lug the 10 ton weight around. also, one of my roommates recently got the coop which I had also considered and we swapped for a few nights, after which we both felt validated with our choices

So, I had a Tempur-pedic pillow for years, and liked it pretty fine. Had some MyPillows, they were fine. but recently I got the Purple Harmony pillow, which is an outside layer of the purple latex whatever stuff, with a memory foam inside. It's like laying on a supportive cloud. It's really amazing.

[@niclastname]

Man I've been looking at that pillow recently and it's hard to take the plunge at that price, but I'm starting to hate my mypillow more and more over time because it just flattens out while I'm asleep. I can form it to the shape I want as they say, but it doesn't actually _hold_ that shape through the night. I just wake up with my head sunk to the bottom. All the little inside bits ditch me and run away to the sides while I'm not looking.

[@broobit7540]

It's too thick for me. I use that one between my legs and use my original purple pillow for my head.

[@Blue-dv1xc]

@@niclastname cannot recommend the purple harmony enough. I got it at a discount when I purchased a purple mattress a few years back and I'll never regret it. It's the best pillow. Because of my arthritis, I overheat in my sleep. It's COLD and it does not retain heat the way other medical pillows do, and it 100% retains its shape. Best of all the pillow worlds tbh. I don't know about the original purple, but the harmony gets an A+ from me and my pain issues. I dont have 0 pain using it, but it's certainly less and the purple brand has absolutely upped my sleep quality after switching.

[@purplecat4977]

@@Blue-dv1xc I have the original, and I love it. I'd been getting a lot of neck problems, bad neck problems, as my old pillow had deteriorated a bit I think from time. Memory foam does eventually break down. I tried a couple of pillows, and nothing was helping. The Purple pillow was the one that came in clutch. It's expensive, but I think the gel stuff is going to last longer than memory foam does, and it won't get clumps like fiber fill can. Not having to do the whole thing of researching finding, buying, testing, and returning pillows again for a long time (or ever) is worth a lot to me. In general I've started trying to pay more for things I think will last, not for environmental or economical reasons so much, but just so I don't have to do it again for a long time.

I broke my neck and had to have an atlantoaxial fixation. Sleeping is extraordinarily difficult unless my neck is perfectly straight and positioned. I have spent $1,000's on pillows and at one point had 30 pillows in my room. The best pillow for me has always been a goose down pillow as I can position it however I want. I have always hated synthetic pillows. But then I tried the Casper pillow and I honestly couldn't believe anyone would call it average!!! That pillow has literally allowed me to sleep without waking up like I re-broke my neck overnight. I love it so much!!! It's the most similar thing I have found to a down pillow, and it's made how my great grandma made pillows. She saved feathers after plucking poultry to cook and would make an interior pillow with the feathers for support and then surround that with the down for the loft. The Casper also has a firm pillow in the middle surrounded by a loftier material so you are always supported without feeling like you slept on cement, which is how the mypillow or any other foam pillow makes me feel. Casper for life!!!

Dude, I don't think you understand the purpose of pillow cases. It's not to make the pillow feel nice next to your skin. It's to pick up all the dirt and oils and drool, to keep the pillow itself clean, and have something you can easily take off and toss into the wash.

[@Slothington1]

I actually have both the OG purple pillow and the newer purple harmony pillow and I love them both, especially the OG. I'm a hot sleeper, so the OG actually keeps me decently cool even during the summer months (Chicagoan here 😐) while also feeling really supportive for side sleeping. The harmony is a surprising one because it sort of feels like a normal pillow with a special cooling case on it, but it has some surprising bounce back once you get your head on it and really supports you while also feeling adjustable/cuddlable.

I am so glad I stumbled across this video. We don't realize how important a really good pillow is until we get older and have lived through injury and just the effects of aging. I am 46 years old and roughly 14 years ago I was hit by a drunk driver who nearly killed me one afternoon while driving home from playing golf all day and apparently taking a shot for every hole on the golf course. I was life flighted to the nearest trauma hospital and woke up with a broken C2 and C7 vertebrae along with numerous other injuries. I was lucky to be alive and lucky to even be able to eventually walk out of the hospital. The pain I've had to manage in the years following has really helped me to see how important it is to invest in a very high-quality pillow! You want to take good care of yourself any way you can and since we spend a large portion of our lives in bed sleeping you definitely want to have the best pillow possible. Sorry, I just went full mom in the comments section but just in case someone is missing their mom and she isn't around for some good advice... I got you! I love how you put these pillows to the test. I was considering getting one of the top 3 you tested since my old pillow is due to be replaced soon so I am glad to know that your general consensus is roughly what I've been hearing from others as well. Thanks for putting in the work to sift out the bad from the good so we don't have to! Sweet dreams.

I travel a lot. The idea of getting to keep your pillow is so appealing but there’s just so many downsides. Most pillows will make up either a huge part of your 50lb limit on a checked bag or fill up so much volume you can’t fit other stuff. The smallest and lightest pillows are usually worse than what’s at the hotel. There’s a risk you’ll bring bed bugs in the pillow. Overall you’re better off making sure you’ve got some good internetless entertainment since hotel Wi-Fi is usually terrible especially at peak times, and bringing some tasty healthy food so you don’t have to go out to eat for every meal.

They deflate after a few weeks, but you just fluff them up and they're as good as brand new. Honestly amazing whatever they did to create the perfect pillow.

Have you fluffed it up in the dryer? I have a coop eden pillow. I fluff it in the dryer ever couple months. I even washed the whole pillow. I dried it in the dryer for basically hours. And it still wasn't 100% dry for at least a week. I have their waterproof pillow protector in addition to the cover it comes in...

Of course I still can sleep on a normal pillow but I very much prefer the Tempurpedic style. And it doesn't look embarrassing at all when you put a pillowcase on it.

Fun pillow knowledge for someone who sells some of these pillows and did wayyy to much training on this. Intellibed and purple used to work together, and they created the grid system together then went their separate ways (they're back together again!) Intelibed worked with the medical company Stryker for burn victims and patients with bed sores. The grid technology is a super unique material, and it's a love or hate feel. It's also made from food grade mineral oil, so it's safe to eat 😁 Pillow guidelines: Lower height: back and stomach Medium height: back and side Tall height: side only pleaseeee Pillow firmness is also a personal preference and same for if you prefer a foam pillow over a down/faux down pillow or a grid pillow. Neck and upper back pain when you wake up is most likely from your pillow being too tall. If you're looking for a new pillow, look for one that keeps your spine in alignment in your sleep position. Tempur also uses a proprietary material that reacts based on body temp and pressure points. That's why their pillows can feel doughy and a bit firmer at first. Memory foam remembers its original shape and will conform based off of weight and weight dispersion. Please also keep in mind that different pillow types and thicknesses are super personalized for what position you sleep in and shoulder broadness :) Happy sleeping everyone!

What a fantastic foamy pillow that stays cool and never looses shape. Def for ppl that like softness in a pillow.

Thank you so so much for this, I’m considering getting a purple pillow because my upper back and neck pain is really bad in the mornings from my minor scoliosis. I have a question if you don’t mind answering though! I’ve noticed with a lot of pillows I use I gravitate towards the flatter ones but I hate the ones that are so flat you’re basically just on the pillowcase lol. I saw you said that the shorter height should be for back and stomach sleepers, but I tend to only sleep on my back and sometimes my side, do you think the shorter height would still be ideal for me if I tend to like shorter pillows? or should I get a medium size in case it’s too short? I do sometimes use two pillows and then switch back to one pillow so I’m just very torn between the two 😂

On your recommendation I finally pulled the trigger on the coop. This is like resting my head on a cloud

[@MissFelice]

I’ve had the coop pillow for over two years and it absolutely holds up. The only thing is every once in awhile I take out the filling and repack it because the little pieces can get stuck together and make it clumpy. But then it’s like new again. Also definitely recommend playing around with adding or taking out the extra filling to get the perfect comfort level for you, once I found mine it never needed to be adjusted again and I refuse to ever use a different pillow. Also for fellow extra sensitive smell/allergy folks, let the pillow air out for 3-5 days once it arrives and wash the outer pillow case and you’ll be good to go. That second quilted layer to the pillow adds a softness under a pillow case that’s just a great little extra touch of comfort.

Just a quick PSA for the Tempurpedic and Coop pillows coming from someone that's had both for years - the Tempurpedic pillow with its curve sat weirdly on my jaw and after a while of sleeping on it gave me horrific tinnitus that I had to see an ENT for and have physical therapy, so make sure you're using it correctly! As for the coop pillow, it was AMAZING in the first year of owning it, but degrades pretty heavily after that, the foam bits will clump into one big mass, to which you'll have to open the pillow to stir it up. At first It only needed to be done every couple of weeks, but eventually got to the point that I have to do the foam stirring thing any time I want to use the pillow. This could possibly be remedied by buying and replacing the foam, but I haven't tried it because it's not cheap. That being said, the coop pillow is still the best one on the market that I've found so far.

Which was pretty bad, but the worst part by far was when I woke up to a coughing fit. It lasted for minutes and when I finally spat out the obstruction, I found... a portion of a" feather."
