Is This the Last Pillow You'll Ever Need to Buy?
After years of searching for the perfect pillow, the Coop Home Goods Original offers a simple but revolutionary idea: what if you could just build it yourself?
This pillow isn’t just another block of memory foam; it’s a completely customizable sleep system. By allowing you to add or remove its unique cross-cut memory foam and microfiber fill, it aims to deliver a personalized level of support for side, back, and stomach sleepers alike. It’s for anyone tired of the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to pillows and ready to invest a little time to get their sleep just right.
- Customization is King The ability to add or remove the shredded foam fill is the standout feature, allowing you to dial in the perfect loft and firmness for your specific sleep style.
- Premium Feel and Materials The Lulltra fabric cover is genuinely soft and breathable, and the ‘Oomph’ fill feels more plush and adaptable than solid memory foam blocks.
- Generous Extra Fill It comes with a substantial bag of extra fill, so you have more than enough material to create a high-loft, firm pillow if desired.
- Certified Safe Sleep With CertiPUR-US and GREENGUARD Gold certifications, you can be confident there are no harmful chemicals, which is critical for a product you use nightly.

Choosing the right Bedding
-
AdjustabilityHighThe ability to change a pillow's height (loft) and firmness is crucial for matching it to your body and sleep style. Fixed pillows are a gamble.Look forPillows with removable fill, inserts, or layers that allow you to add or subtract material.AvoidOne-size-fits-all designs if you have specific support needs or have had trouble with pillows in the past.
-
Fill MaterialHighThe material inside the pillow dictates its support, feel, breathability, and durability. Common types include memory foam, latex, down, and polyester fiberfill.Look forShredded memory foam for a balance of support and moldability; latex for responsive support; down for plush softness.AvoidCheap, clumpy fiberfill that flattens quickly; solid memory foam if you tend to sleep hot.
-
Safety CertificationsHighSince you spend 8 hours a day with your face on a pillow, the materials should be safe and non-toxic.Look forCertiPUR-US for foam products (ensures it's made without certain harmful chemicals) and GREENGUARD Gold for low VOC emissions.AvoidUncertified foam products from unknown brands, which may contain harmful chemicals.
-
Cover & CareMediumThe pillow's cover affects the feel and hygiene. A removable, washable cover is essential for long-term use.Look forA removable and machine-washable cover made from a soft, breathable fabric like bamboo-derived rayon or cotton.AvoidPillows with non-removable covers that can only be spot-cleaned.
Common questions
Is it difficult to adjust the pillow's filling?
It’s not hard, but it can be messy. The shredded foam pieces are lightweight and can have static cling. It’s best to perform adjustments over a clean surface or inside a large bag to contain any stray fill.
Does the Coop pillow sleep hot?
Compared to a solid memory foam pillow, it sleeps much cooler because the cross-cut foam allows for better airflow. The breathable Lulltra fabric cover also helps dissipate heat. However, it will still retain more warmth than a traditional down or buckwheat pillow.
How long does the 'new pillow' smell last?
There is a noticeable off-gassing smell from the freshly manufactured foam. Tossing the pillow in the dryer on a no-heat fluff cycle for 20-30 minutes and then letting it air out for a day usually eliminates the scent completely.
Can you wash the entire pillow?
No, only the outer cover is machine washable. The inner pillow containing the foam fill should only be spot-cleaned as needed. Washing the entire inner pillow can damage the foam and cause it to clump.
