The cat’s out of the bag, both the Good Life Essentials and its rival in our comparison, the Coop Sleep Goods, share a similar feel thanks to their nearly interchangeable fillings. Each highlights the best of shredded memory foam and features super soft and breathable bamboo/polyester covers. So what details set them apart from each other? Read on for my full comparison.

Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow
The Adjustable Shredded Memory Foam Pillow from Coop Sleep Goods is distinct in more than one way. The memory foam shredded filling is responsive and guarantees the pillow will never go flat, plus sleepers can remove as much filling as they like which makes it great for people who sleep in several positions.

Who Might Choose
Good Life Essentials
- Back or side sleepers. The shredded pieces of memory foam in the Good Life Essentials pillow create an appropriate amount of firmness and support for most back and side sleepers, initially at least. Based on my experience, it’s an appealing choice for those who tend to like more support than stomach sleepers.
- Those who are on a budget. Although prices on Amazon do fluctuate, it seems that the Good Life Essentials pillow – at least in a Queen size – is slightly less expensive than the Coop Sleep Goods pillow.
Coop Sleep Goods
- Combination sleepers. Due to its adjustable nature, sleepers are able to determine exactly how much loft and support was needed based on one’s sleep positions and neck comfort. It does come overstuffed but enough foam can be removed to meet even the most specific preferences from stomach sleepers.

Either
- Sleepers who are looking for super soft pillow covers. Both covers are crafted with a combination of polyester and rayon/viscose from bamboo. Bamboo is known for being incredibly soft and lightweight, and we can vouch that sleeper who enjoy the delicate texture of this fabric combination.
Overall
There are numerous similarities, features, and shared characteristics between these two pillows. Honestly, they could both work well for back and side sleepers, while we’d really only recommend the Coop Sleep Goods for stomach sleepers. The main factors that set them apart are their price and the adjustable functionality that’s part of theCoop Sleep Goods pillow experience.
Each come with a 30-day trial offer and warranties, so it could be worth trying either – or both- to determine if one ends up being a superb fit.
