Pillow Fight! COOP Battles for Pillow Perfection
You down with C-O-O-P, yeah you know me! Hey, pillows need love too.
How much cash did you drop on your mattress? How about the frame that holds that bad boy off the ground? We would bet, it was more than $12. We’d say it’s even more than $200, more than $500, heck maybe even more than $1500. Yeah, we all are ok dropping some mad cash on a mattress, the sheets, the bed-frame, but when it comes to buying a pillow- our budget goes M.I.A. and we grab that $4 Target find and call it a day.
What most of us are missing is the key component a pillow plays in our sleep. We neglect the very thing designed to provide neck, head, and body support and go with some floppy, cheap, or “budget find” buy and expect not to wake up with headaches, back-aches, and stiff necks. Maybe that whole “woke up on the wrong side of the bed” thing really is maybe they “put their dome on the wrong pillow” thing….we digress.
Our crew wanted to test out a pillow that did more than just offer a cheap price tag- rather one that would help with our sleep and promote health. We reached out to the crew at COOP (say that 3x fast) to see if they would be up for the duuude crew review challenge. They were game and we were pumped (because we needed a new pillow anyways). COOP wanted in our our pillow fight: the fight for the best pillow this side of the Mississippi…or this side of the bed, or this side of the cool-side of the pillow. Huh? Whatever- you get our point.
INITIAL IMPRESSION
Right out of the box- this pillow sure is puuurdy. Our crew tested out the “Original COOP Home Good Pillow” for the review. This pillow is the OG COOP pillow aka the one that “started it all”- The original, premium, adjustable pillow that is designed to accommodate any unique size and sleep position by adding or removing some of the medium-firm density fill. Wait, what does it do? Yeah- so unlike other pillows, the COOP line is designed to give you the flexibility to add or remove the foam (inner parts of the pillow) to find the right fill for you! Mind. Blown.
It may just be us- but have pillows been like this all this time? We recall buying a pillow by squeezing the crap out of it at the store, walking down the pillow lane and pushing on each one to see how firm or soft it felt. With COOP, you get to adjust the pillow as you actually lay on it, sleep on it, and use it- go freaking figure! So what are the specs?
PRODUCT SPECS:

The initial pass at the pillow checks out. The material is soft, plush, and feels like it can handle any size head- yes, even you big ego folks, this pillow accepts the challenge.
TESTING IT OUT
Testing the pillow out was really where the dome hits the foam. Our crew gave the pillow a 10 night sleep test to really see if the pillow impacted our overall sleep and comfort. COOP does a better job than we ever could showing you (and us) how to get our pillow sleep-ready. Take a look:
So after we (and hopefully you) followed the video instructions on setting up the pillow- we slept on it. For 10 nights we slept on the pillow to compare and see what this pillow’s claim to fame is all about. Why 10 days when COOP offers 100 nights worth of testing? Simple- our Chiropractor friend told us your body needs about 5-7 days to adjust to any changes in sleep (like bedding, mattress, ya know…PILLOWS). So, we thought 10 was a cool number to round it out and see how we felt. The results:
Night One
We took out 1/3 of the fill (as per the instructions for the side/back/rolling sleepers we are) and used the included pillow case- no added pillow case. Wowza what a difference in anything we have ever slept on. The material adjusted to our head/positions and the soft pillow was like putting our dome on a cloud. One thing we noticed was those with a beard and are used to a pillow case- this does feel a bit different. Sort of some texture getting used to. For those with no facial hair- no clue how that feels.
Night Two
Oh. My. Gosh! No joke one of the best nights sleep we have had. The pillow is even more comfortable and our body seems to be getting used to the texture of the case and the filler is really soft of supportive. We were concerned that wed be up a lot trying to “move the filling” around in the pillow based on how we slept- but it couldn’t have gone better. Its like head magic- our bodies just adjusted as we slept and the pillow supported all positions.
Night Five
Sleep? -Slayed. Need we say more? Nah- that covers it.
Night Seven
Remember that game 7 minutes in heaven? Well, if that had a reboot it would be 7 hours in heaven because thats what we felt after sleeping on this pillow more and more. Seriously still so comfortable, soft in all the right spots, supportive no matter where you turn- its kind of like what romantic comedies portray relationships to be like.
Night Ten
On the 10-th day of COOP-mas, our true love gave to me…. a great night’s sleep. As we hit the 10 day mark of our test, there was nothing but positive vibes coming out of the review. The pillow was a solid as it was day one, the feeling of full nights rest got stronger and stronger, and the pillow remained true to its form and promises. What a freaking pillow COOP has come up with.
