Coop Sleep Goods Coop The Original Adjustable Pillow vs Purple Harmony Pillow
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Bed Pillows: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The Coop Original wins for the most people because its adjustable fill lets you match the loft to your body and sleep position instead of hoping a fixed pillow fits. The Purple Harmony is the upgrade pick for hot sleepers and anyone who wants a pillow that stays cool and holds its shape for years.
Coop Sleep Goods Coop The Original Adjustable Pillow
Buy itThe most forgiving pillow of the group because you literally tune the loft to your neck.
- Add or remove the cross-cut memory foam and microfiber fill to dial in height and firmness
- Works across side, back, and stomach sleeping thanks to the adjustability
- Backed by a 100-night guarantee, with extra fill included in the box
- Machine-washable cover, with the maker listing CertiPUR-US and GREENGUARD Gold certifications
- Getting the fill amount right takes some fiddling on the first few nights
- The foam fill can carry a faint break-in smell that may air out over days
Purple Harmony Pillow
Buy itA ventilated latex-and-grid pillow that stays cool and refuses to go flat.
- Honeycomb GelFlex grid over an aerated Talalay latex core, which the maker says stays cool all night
- Built to hold its shape night after night, per the maker; owners report it doesn't flatten like foam or down
- Offered in low, medium, and tall heights to match your shoulder width and position
- Responsive, bouncy feel that supports the neck without the 'stuck' sensation of memory foam
- The most expensive option here
- Distinctly bouncy, springy feel that not everyone warms to
- Reported by owners as heavier than a traditional pillow
