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.

Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow Firmness and Feel
The Original Adjustable Loft pillow features Coop Sleep Good’s proprietary blend of shredded memory foam and microfiber filling. Let’s take a look at how this blend performs:
How Firm is the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow?
Coop Sleep Goods labels this pillow as medium-firm, which puts it at 6.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale. This is a relatively supportive and responsive pillow.
This pillow also holds its shape well. The filling did not rearrange itself inside the pillow while I slept on it, so the Coop pillow should retain its firmness after use.
The amount of foam filling will also play a role in this pillow’s relative firmness. Coop Sleep Goods provides an additional ½ pound of foam filling with the Original Pillow, so sleepers can customize the height and firmness of the pillow to their liking.
Sleeping on the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow
A pillow’s ultimate goal is to keep your spine in neutral alignment as you sleep. Proper support alleviates nightly discomfort and prevents future neck and back pain. A pillow that tips your head up or allows it to sink below your shoulders may hinder a good night’s sleep and cause neck pain later down the line.
Side sleepers require the highest loft and support to keep their neck in alignment. Back sleepers require slightly more give, while stomach sleepers usually need a flatter and more forgiving pillow to maintain neutral alignment. If you have the wrong loft, it could be the cause of neck pain later on.
Coop Sleep Goods solves for the needs of different sleep positions with its customizable Original Pillow. With the pillow’s removable filling, this shredded memory foam pillow can accommodate the individual’s sleeping position.
As a side sleeper, I was impressed by how comfortable and supportive the Coop Original was, especially after I’d experimented with the amount of filling and found a loft to my liking. This is a very comfortable pillow!

What does the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow Feel Like?
The Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow’s memory foam fill and breathable outer cover make a soft and comfortable combination for a variety of sleepers. Here’s an overview:
Average Weight Sleepers – 130 lb – 230lb
The Coop Original’s adjustability means it is well suited for a variety of sleep positions. In particular, average weight side sleepers will appreciate the customizable loft of the Original Pillow.
Average weight stomach sleepers will have to remove quite a bit of foam to achieve a comfortable loft with this pillow. Even then, the memory foam filling may be too firm for the average stomach sleeper. The Original Pillow is best for average weight side and back sleepers.
Heavyweight Sleepers – Over 230lb
The memory-foam-and-microfiber blend should provide great support to heavyweight sleepers. The additional ½ pound of filling that comes with the Original Pillow means this pillow can be filled to accommodate side sleepers with larger frames.
Heavier back sleepers will compress the foam more, so they likely won’t need to take out any of the fill. For side sleepers with broad shoulders, you’ll want to keep the pillow as tall as possible to keep your head and neck in a neutral position.
Heavyweight sleepers may have to fluff this pillow more often to help the pillow maintain its shape.
Lightweight Sleepers – Under 130lb
In general, lightweight sleepers tend to compress the pillow less than heavier sleepers. A medium-firm pillow like the Coop Original will tend to be more comfortable for lightweight side sleepers who need more loft and support than back or stomach sleepers. I do see lightweight sleepers needing to remove some of the fill to find a comfortable loft, though.
Lightweight stomach sleepers will need to take out a considerable amount of fill to find a comfortable loft. Overall, this isn’t the first choice for stomach sleepers.

Cover
The Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Loft Pillow comes with an ultra-breathable fabric cover comprised of 60% polyester and 40% bamboo-derived viscose rayon. The natural moisture-wicking and cooling properties of bamboo will help keep the pillow cover cool and sweat-free.
The cover is removable and machine washable. There is also a 100% polyester inner liner inside the fabric cover that contains the shredded foam filling.
Core
The Coop Original’s inner pillow features a blend of memory foam and microfiber filling. This CertiPUR-US certified blend is produced solely for Coop Sleep Goods, meaning you won’t find this particular combination of materials anywhere else. The filling itself can be removed to suit the individual sleeper’s height and firmness preferences.
The Original comes with an additional ½ pound of fill for those who want even more loft to their Coop pillow.
One drawback to the Coop Original’s adjustability is managing and storing the extra filling. While the additional filling comes in a resealable bag, Coop Sleep Goods does not provide storage for extra foam taken out of the pillow. If you need to take out a lot of foam to find a comfortable loft, adjusting the Original pillow can get messy quick.
I’m a side sleeper and prefer a more lofted pillow than the typical back or stomach sleeper. I still needed to remove five or six handfuls of foam before I found a comfortable volume for myself. Back and stomach sleepers may find themselves with even more extra foam to deal with.
With all that said, the comfort of the Adjustable Pillow made the potential mess well worth it. Overall, the shredded foam core displays a thoughtful design and provides great comfort.

Height/Loft
When we talk about loft, we’re referring to the height of the pillow – really, how the pillow holds your head off your mattress. Loft is important in reducing neck pain or other nightly discomforts, and the right loft for you depends on your sleep position.
Because loft is so important in pillows, the adjustability of the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow is a huge plus. By adding or removing the memory foam filling, sleepers can hone in on the perfect pillow height for them.

Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow Performance
Here’s how the Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Loft Pillow performs in a few important categories:
Sleeping Hot or Cold
Because it is a relatively dense material, memory foam tends to trap heat. In the case of the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow, the shredded memory foam design and blended bamboo cover promote breathability while maintaining that classic memory foam feel.
That being said, this isn’t the coolest pillow on the market. If you’re worried about overheating, look for a pillow designed specifically for cooling.
RELATED: Best Cooling Pillows
Off-Gassing
The pillow comes vacuum sealed in plastic to save on shipping cost and size. Once the package has been opened, the pillow will need time to expand to its full size.
Customers have two options: let the pillow expand to its intended size on its own or toss the whole pillow in the dryer on a low heat for about 10 minutes. When I got the Original pillow, I opted to let the pillow do its thing, and within an hour it had grown to one of the fullest pillows I’ve ever seen.
Because the pillow comes compressed, it may have a slight chemical smell when it first arrives. Removing the outer cover and allowing this pillow to air out in sunlight should allow this smell to dissipate. Tumbling on low in the dryer with a dryer sheet should also remove off-gassing smells. Overall, the smell should fade within 24 hours.

Care Instructions
Both the cover and the pillow are fully machine washable. Coop Sleep Goods recommends washing the inner pillow about once a year, although the cover can be washed much more frequently. The inner pillow should be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle, then tumble dried on low.
If you find your pillow is starting to feel a little flat, fluffing it in the dryer should reinvigorate the foam and return the pillow to its full volume.
Allergies
Coop Sleep Goods lists the Original Pillow as hypoallergenic. Neither the blended fabric cover nor the adjustable filling should trigger allergies.

Common Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow Complaints
The Coop Original Adjustable Pillow has thousands of positive reviews on the company’s website. However, there are some complaints mixed in: some customers had difficulty achieving a comfortable loft with the removable filling, while others found the Original Pillow was simply too firm for their liking.
Adjusting the Original Pillow definitely takes some trial and error. Coop Sleep Goods offers free loft customization consultations for customers struggling to adjust their pillows. The brand also reminds new customers that acclimating to a new pillow can take up to two weeks.
How Does Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow Compare to Other Pillows?
Customizable, comfortable, and washable, the Coop Sleep Goods Original Pillow has a lot to offer. But how does it compare to other pillows on the market? Let’s jump in.
Coop Sleep Goods vs Brooklinen
The Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Pillow provides all the comfort and support we love in memory foam pillows. But for those who may prefer the plush feeling of a down pillow, the Brooklinen Down Pillow is a good alternative.
With three firmness levels to choose from, the Brooklinen Down Pillow can accommodate most sleep positions. Since its duck down inner filling can’t be removed, this pillow isn’t as customizable as the Coop Original, but fans of the soft, malleable feeling of down will also find a good combination of comfort and support from the Brooklinen Down Pillows, particularly the Mid-Plush option.

Who Should Get the Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Loft Pillow?
- Fans of memory foam pillows
- Side sleepers
Who Should Get the Brooklinen Mid-Plush Down Pillow?
- Stomach sleepers
- Fans of soft down pillows

Coop Sleep Goods vs Saatva
While the Coop Original Pillow’s bamboo cover makes it a relatively breathable pillow, it doesn’t sleep as cool as some pillows out there. What about a pillow designed to keep you cool?
![Saatva Pillow A woman sleeps on her back on a Saatva Pillow.](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/saatva-pillow-review-katie-back-sleeper.jpg)
For a truly luxurious cooling pillow, check out the Saatva Pillow, which layers hypoallergenic microfibers and shredded Talalay latex for ultimate comfort and support. Like the Coop Original, the Saatva Pillow features a removable outer cover for easy cleaning. It’s also a relatively durable pillow and uses eco-friendly materials.
Who Should Get the Coop Sleep Goods Original Adjustable Loft Pillow?
- Fans of responsive foam pillows
- People who want an easily washed pillow
Who Should Get the Saatva Pillow?
- Hot sleepers
- Back sleepers
