The Coop Sleep Goods pillow features shredded viscoelastic memory foam, offering better airflow compared to a solid memory foam design. A standout feature is its adjustable filling, allowing you to customize the loft to suit your preferences. Initially, I found the loft too high, which led to a stiff neck the next morning. However, after removing some of the foam, the pillow provided a much more comfortable and restful sleep.

Cover

What I appreciate about the Coop Sleep Goods pillow is its removable viscose rayon cover, crafted to help sleepers stay cool. Made from a proprietary blend of 60% polyester and 40% bamboo, it effectively regulates temperature. The cover is machine washable, which is a big plus, and features a plush texture with a stylish embossed triangle design.Inside, the filling is encased in a plain white inner case made of Interlock fabric. This material provides a tight knit and a smooth surface, though it’s much thinner than the outer cover.

Feel & Support

The Coop Sleep Goods pillow strikes a balance between softness and support. It contours to your neck while allowing you to switch sleeping positions comfortably throughout the night. Despite being filled with shredded memory foam, the pieces blend seamlessly, mimicking a single piece of foam but offering more flexibility and adjustability.If the pillow starts to feel flat, the manufacturer suggests placing it in the dryer for 10 minutes to refresh the filling. For optimal performance, this quick fluffing is recommended once a month.

Extra features

The bamboo-derived rayon liner encasing the foam makes cleaning much easier. Unlike other adjustable fill pillows that require you to remove all the filling before washing, the Coop pillow’s encasement serves as a protective barrier between the inner pillow and your pillowcase. You can simply remove and wash the encasement and pillowcase without dealing with the foam.Another standout feature is the 100-night trial period, one of the longest offered for pillows. This gives you ample time to test, adjust, and decide if it’s the right fit for you. If it’s not, Coop covers return shipping and provides a full refund. Additionally, gently used returned pillows are donated to local charities, which is a thoughtful touch.

Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow

The Coop Original is a fully customizable pillow crafted from hypoallergenic, CertiPUR-US, and GreenGuard Gold-certified shredded memory foam. A side zipper provides access to the inner cavity, allowing you to adjust the fill to achieve your ideal loft and support. While it arrives overstuffed, sleepers seeking additional firmness can add up to a pound of extra filling from an included bag.Though the pillow is quite lofty, it comes compressed in compact packaging. Upon unboxing, you’ll find a helpful insert with instructions to guide you in customizing your pillow for optimal comfort.

The included insert notes that you can reach out to the company for assistance with adjustments or to request additional fill if needed beyond the pillow’s initial contents and the 1-pound bag of extra fill. Following the package instructions, I allowed the pillow to fluff up to its full size before handling the filling. This process took about 10 minutes, and I used my hands to evenly fluff and distribute the foam. Alternatively, the pillow can be placed in the dryer for about 10 minutes for faster expansion.Once fully fluffed, I tested the pillow as is. As a combination sleeper who alternates between side and back sleeping—spending most of the night on my back—I found the pillow too lofty for my preference. Following the instructions, I removed about one-third of the foam, which made it much more comfortable for my sleeping style.

Is the Coop Sleep Goods Pillow the Right Choice?

Want customizable support: The zippered case allows full access to the filling, enabling you to adjust the loft by adding or removing foam to suit your preferences.
Prefer breathable shredded memory foam: Shredded memory foam strikes a balance between the contouring support of traditional memory foam and improved breathability and cooling, making it a great alternative to solid block memory foam pillows.
Need a hypoallergenic option: The Coop Sleep Goods pillow is resistant to allergens and dust mites. Its CertiPUR-US-certified materials ensure it’s free from harmful substances like ozone depleters, mercury, lead, heavy metals, and formaldehyde.

Cons to Consider

The  Coop Sleep Goods pillow offers customizable height and fluff, making it a good choice for those who like a tailored sleep experience. However, it might not be the coziest option if you’re not a fan of memory foam. Personally, I found the pillow lacking in the soft, down-like comfort I prefer—similar to the feeling of hotel pillows that gently envelop your head. No matter how much fill I added or removed, memory foam just doesn’t provide that same plush sensation.

Additionally, like many memory foam pillows, it did feel a bit warm compared to other options I’ve tried, although it was never overly sweaty or stifling. If you’re seeking a cooler and softer alternative, Coop offers the Eden line, which uses gel-infused memory foam and microfiber for a more breathable and comfortable sleep experience.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Coop Sleep Goods Memory Foam Pillow offers a highly customizable sleep experience, allowing users to adjust the fill to their ideal loft and support. The shredded memory foam provides a breathable and cooling alternative to traditional solid memory foam, making it a great choice for those who enjoy the contouring feel of memory foam but want enhanced airflow. With features like a washable, hypoallergenic cover and CertiPUR-US certification, this pillow ensures both comfort and peace of mind for sleepers concerned about allergens and toxic materials.

While the pillow’s adjustability is a key benefit, its firm, loftier feel may not suit every sleeper. It works best for back, side, and stomach sleepers who appreciate memory foam’s support and contouring properties. With a 100-night trial and a 5-year warranty, Coop Sleep Goods stands behind its product, offering a risk-free experience for potential buyers. However, if you’re not fond of memory foam or prefer a softer, less firm pillow, this may not be the ideal fit for you.
