Summary
Shredded memory foam fill lets you add or remove stuffing for a perfect fit. Consistently tops Reddit threads and expert lists alike for all sleep positions.
Wirecutter's top pick for side and back sleepers, with shredded foam fill that contours without going flat. A cool-touch cover makes it a standout for hot sleepers too.
Pros
- Fully adjustable loft — add or remove fill to dial in exact height
- Shredded memory foam + microfiber blend gives down-like plushness with real support
- CertiPUR-US certified, hypoallergenic fill
- Works for side, back, and stomach sleepers
- Shredded foam fill is adjustable and holds loft better than down alternatives
- Cool-touch cover helps regulate temperature through the night
- Curved ergonomic design supports proper neck alignment
- Recommended by both Wirecutter and Tom's Guide independently
Cons
- Takes time to break in — some users don't love it immediately
- Can feel lumpy until you adjust the fill to your preference
- Pricier than basic polyester pillows
- Not ideal for stomach sleepers who need very low loft
- Shredded foam can feel less plush than down for some users
- Mid-to-high price point
Our take
If you only buy one pillow, make it the Coop. It's the rare product that Reddit obsessives and sleep experts both agree on — the adjustability alone eliminates the guesswork that makes pillow shopping a nightmare.
Wirecutter has tested dozens of pillows and keeps coming back to the Easy Breather — that kind of repeat endorsement means something. The curved ergonomic design genuinely solves neck alignment in a way flat pillows can't.
