Coop Home Goods Essence Down Alternative Pillow Set of 2, Queen Size, Best Pillows for Sleeping, Adjustable Alternative to Down Pillows, Luxury Hotel Pillow for Back, Stomach or Side Sleepers

Nothing compares, as this is a high quality pillow that is well constructed, butter soft, lofts like down but contains no animal products, has baffled sides for better fit, and has a small zipper at one end so you can take out or add stuffing to make it whatever level of rigidity you want, even comes with an xtra bag of filler! I was not expecting two pillows of this quality at this price but yes this is a two-pack. The fill is nice and loose so the pillow can be configured exactly the shape you want. You can stuff more pillow under your neck and leave the middle flatter & looser under your head so you’ve got a soft head bowl to support your neck & keep spine aligned while back sleeping. And it’s just as easy to get it under your neck to fill in the open space between neck & shoulder and keep your spine aligned when you turn on your side. It’s even soft enough to hug & sleep on your stomach. There is a diagram and easy instructions on how to try it out for proper neck alignment and assist you in deciding whether you want to fill it with more or less. Goodbye traditional one size fits all pillows, the pressure and heat of memory foam, the allergies from down, and the inflexible pillows that crook your neck unnaturally, leaving you with stiff neck, spine pain and headaches! A simply fabulous product all around, I’ll never sleep on anything else again and will stuff it into a bag when I travel - can’t leave home without it!

I WRECKED my neck on a pillow I purchased from a big box store. It was an unbearable neck pain that lasted two weeks and cost me more in massages, chiropractor appointments and loss of productivity than the cost of the Coop Homes Eden.Tired of going cheap on pillows that either end up doing physical harm to me or just losing their support after a week, I decided to look for something better (considering 1/3 of my day is spent sleeping investing in my comfort seemed like a good idea.)I came across this pillow, read the reviews and decided to give it a shot (it also comes with a 100 night guarantee.) When the pillow arrived, I stuffed it to my liking and slept on it that same night.It only took one night to see that this pillow is a worthwhile investment. My head was perfectly supported, no aches in the morning and it stayed perfectly cool through the night. At the time of writing this review, I have been using this pillow for about 3 months and I still feel the same as I did the first night I used it.Cool features:- pillow comes stuffed with shredded memory foam PLUS a huge bag of that shredded foam to add more firmness. I personally, added very little to mine and it was perfect.- the included pillowcase is amazing. Don't cover it, you can wash it like a normal pillowcase. The bamboo-derived fabric is soft, comfortable and won't make you sweat at night.- humanely made AND it's made in the US, which both points are fantastic.There HAS to be a drawback to this pillow, right? Well, there is, and that is the smell of the pilot's shredded foam when you get it. The manufacturer knows this and gives instructions on how to air it out. I received mine in the evening and didn't have time to air it out. The smell was fierce, no doubt, but I slept on it fine with no headaches or problems sleeping because of the smell. After a day or two the smell when away on its own.One might think the price is a drawback, my wife did at first, but a nice pillow is worth an investment (just like a mattress or a good pair of shoes.) After stealing my pillow here and there, my wife completely agrees with me now, too! So if this pillow can convince my frugal wife of its value, I'm sure you'll you will too.If you're thinking about this pillow, give it a shot! If you're on the "buy whatever cheap pillow [some store] has on the shelf" mode, then you will immediately feel a difference with this pillow. It will blow your mind.

So it’s been about 5 nights that I’ve slept with this pillow now. First, Coop Home Goods gives their recommendations for the amount of fill to be removed depending on whether you’re a stomach, back, or side sleeper. This is just a recommendation, one of the major factors in the amount of fill also depends on the firmness of the mattress, whether you lay more on the top surface of the mattress or sink in and the amount of sink. I have a mattress that is about a 5.5 / 6 firmness on a 1 to 10 with 10 the firmest. I had to remove about 1/3 of the fill to get it to my liking. Keep in mind that this took at least the 3rd try of removing and trying before I finally got the fill amount that suited me, so it was a bit time consuming and a pain. So now that I have the fill where I like it I can give you my review of the feel,.... I’ve heard many say that it feels “like down” and has the support of “memory foam”. The ONLY time it felt like a down fill pillow was immediately after I fluffed it in my dryer per the instructions that came in the package, I did this after every iteration of removing fill until I found my preference sobI wouldn’t have thinner areas from pulling the fill out.Now that I’ve slept on it for about 4 days, it no longer has that “down like” feel, still soft but not like a down pillow. It feels more like a mix between a semi down and polyester fill pillow. It fluffs up a little after using it but doesn’t flatten down like a down pillow does. I’m primarily a side sleeper so it has a good feel. I do roll over from time to time and sleep on my back and it feels ok, not great but better than the average pillow.Support: I’m on the fence about the amount of support it really provides. I feel that my neck isn’t being supported and I can feel the fill tends to get pushed toward the back of the pillow, causing my head to tilt forward. To compensate for this I have to place my shoulders partially on the pillow to feel that my neck is receiving proper support. The pillow cover has vented gussets for edge to edge support, which is one of the main reasons I purchased this pillow; however, the pillow liner, which holds the fill, does not have gussets and pinches along the front edge of the pillow. The pillow liner not having gussets defeats the purpose of having a gussetted cover, which explains why my head is tilted forward.My final verdict. Good: comfortable, doesn’t flatten down, extra fill comes with the pillow (not that I need it), great for side sleepers, very soft pillow cover, better than your average pillow.Bad: Liner lacks gussets to compliment cover, neck support is debatable (I made it work but not totally ideal), I don’t think it’s a $69 pillow.Would’ve given it 5 stars but because of the pinching caused by the pillow liner not having gussets, I had to give it 4.
