I'm always impressed on how professional and thorough he is in all his reviews. I don't think any other review channel is quite so committed to give a fair shot, even to the most out-there or gimmicky products, or to keep testing them even when the first impression is really bad. This video, with a six week rotation, and three testers, is just further proof of how seriously he takes the job. Kudos. His channel should be the benchmark for all other review channel on UA-cam... Five stars. Lol
Right? The minute I heard "this is the 6th week" I had to go back and hear it again. Even though I've seen some of his other "long" reviews I didn't believe he tried the pillows for a month and a half. I love it.
Best reviewer of all time. I just love the way he goes above and beyond with every review. No doubt the best person I've ever watched review things in such an in-depth manner
No affiliate links, no sponsors, a whole week dedicated to each pillow and 3 different people’s experiences? This is how you make a flawless review video.
@@killasic don’t let his negative ass get to you my guy keep being positive! i agree though, you can tell that their family is very wholesome and caring
This was a super excellent review. Having 3 people independently try them who all have different sleep styles and preferences and were able to give very valid personal reasons for their views and rankings was genius. This is absolutely the gold standard for how similar product reviews should be conducted.
I've been sleeping on the Coop pillow for about a year. The first time my head touched the Coop pillow, I thought, "Wow!" This pillow is very supportive while also being "cushiony". Each night, I still think, "aah" when I put my head down. This side-sleeper loves the Coop pillow!
@@michellem5647 Ya, but you can say that about pretty much everything. With everything else seems like there is at least one "80% will like this" option. Pillows are underrated and not enough pillow engineering is happening, imho.
I ordered a sack of blue memory foam shreds from Amazon Prime and I stuffed my worn-out old pillow with it and now I have the best pillow I can ever sleep on, problem solved for a little bit of money.
I bought wool and stuffed a pillowcase with it. I found wool to be much better than memory foam. You never see these big UA-camrs test wool which I find very sketchy. It's always things they can make commission on. Wool is the best stuffing I've found as it's comfortable and it eliminated my dust mite allergy. It is much cheaper than all these chemical materials as well.
@@dtz1000 this is the first time I'm hearing about wool filling, I have a very open mind and love to hear about new and better things, thank you, it might even be better filling to firm up a bean bag chair. As long as this right-wing capitalist piece of shit greedy my pillow guy doesn't make any profit off of it I am totally fine. then again acquiring this much wool to stuff pillows and possibly bean bag chairs might be very expensive compared to memory foam, unless you are a sheep herder.
That’s a great idea! I love my pillows, but I am always sad when they have to be replaced. I growled at my hubby when he attempted to take “by mistake.” Lol
I love that you brought on extra people to review these pillows since what makes a comfortable pillow is so subjective from person to person. Noah and I sound like we have similar sleep styles so this really makes me want to try the Purple pillow! It was really sweet of you to let your kids keep their favorite pillows too ☺️
So did you buy the purple pillow. I bought their mattress because of his review and I have to say I hate it. My back just hurts so bad when I get out of bed it looks like I am a crippled person
I’ve had the Purple pillow since January (10 months) and I have chronic neck pain. My husband loved it so much he was always stealing it so we recently got him one too. I like the Purple’s adjustability and coolness (I am a HOT sleeper). We have a Tempur-Pedic mattress now which has sunk in a bit over time so I am still fiddling with the loft, but having that adjustability helps. I actually needed to take one layer out of mine despite being a side sleeper, and my broad-shouldered husband needed one more layer so it worked out well. I am still hoping my neck pain will improve, but between three slipped discs in my neck and three back surgeries, I’m not too hopeful that much will help my pain anymore. 😢
I've been using the Coop Home Goods Eden pillow for almost 3 years as my primary pillow and love it! May have to try the Purple next. BTW, thanks for ACTUALLY reviewing things and not just advertising them like some other channels.

I just got the Pillow Cube for Side and Back sleepers. I wasn’t sure what to expect with it. I wanted to get a 4” but they only had the 5” available. I’ve never had a better night’s sleep. Then again, I seem to have similar taste to Noah. So I’ll probably have to give the Purple a shot. I’ll always pick quality over price, even if that means I have to wait to buy. Why buy a car that’s uncomfortable and not safe when there are better options, even if they’re more expensive. There are options that satisfy the in-between, but a pillow is not a car and is easier to save for before buying than the car is. If it’s going to last and save money, pain, and suffering in the long run, it’s probably worth it (unless it’s completely too good to be true)
@@JLean-hu8fgI concur. I need to invest in better pillows for sure after watching this. I have a better appreciation for reviewers that test these products for the masses.
I'm from Brazil, and never heard of any of those pillows, but here I am, paying close attention to this review, only because this channel and this family are so great!
Taking out that much has it good points, Because when the stuffing starts to go down from uses, put the left over stuffing back in and you have a new pillow !
I love to see how his kids have grown into young adults. I remember the first videos I saw them in, they seemed so shy and self conscious. I love that they've really grown into speaking up and expressing well thought out opinions. He looks like such a great Dad.
I've used the coop pillow for 2 years and it changed my life. I have degenerative disc disorder in my neck and it's the first pillow that has allowed me to sleep comfortably in 10 years. It was easy to customize too. I live in Phoenix, and I bought the one that has cool gel in it and I have yet to wake up to head or neck sweat. Amazing pillow! My husband loves his too.
@@AlanTrades The foam level depends on the person. There is a guide included to get you started. I have a particularly long neck, so I needed to remove less than my husband. It's a bit of trial and error. If I recall correctly, it took 2 tries to get me to the level that was right for me. I'd recommend removing more than you think you need to... It's very lofty. 🙂
Got my hubby a Coop for Christmas, he really loves it. We took out about 30 to 40 precent. The extra stuffing you can make another pillow with a zippered pillow protecter. Blessings
My wife pointed out how Brandon nodded his head when Noah and James were talking then we both noticed how all 3 did the same thing and now we can’t unsee it 🤣. Good reviews as always!
It's great to hear positive feedback from a family of dedicated side-sleepers, like me! Thank you for your sleep sacrifices, hard work, and understandable summaries.
Noah was right about the Pillow cube smelling like almonds, there are comments on the review saying that it smells like peanut butter. It's in Drew Gooden's video.
I own and love the coop. I bought the cooling one (I sleep hot). I also took about 30-40% out. I had enough filler left to make a small travel pillow lol. Great review.
I have the coop as well. I took out about the same amount but found it to still run hot for me. Wife accidentally swapped pillows one night and fell in love. I'm now looking into the purple pillow.
3 years ago, I bough the Coop for my boyfriend since he preferred feather pillows and I was allergic to it. He finally took out almost half of it and really loved it since.
@@dcwatashi i have issues with the coop being stringy? the casing just has major issues in my opinion.. string or something from the case just keeps coming off even nearly a year later for me
Using Sleepgram here...got them 4 months ago, wanted something that could be washed frequently, which these can be. We three at our house use the inserts differently, too! Hubs likes 2 pillows fully loaded, I like the cover plus red and my son uses cover with the blue insert....so adjustable! I’m particularly impressed with how they come out of the wash, the filler is fluffy and not balled up in one side or another. Don’t think I’d like the shredded foam, love the filler in Sleepgram, it’s soft and not lumpy. Pillows have been the bane of my existence for years...keeping them clean, especially. This is our forever pillow, I’m certain. Thanks for your time well spent on this extensive review, just goes to show how pillows are so personal. Cheers!
I love how you go in depth with your reviews, you do all kinds of test not just one giving it a more than fair review. I wish more people would be that way so people would have a much easier time knowing what is best for them. Thanks for all you do James!
I have a purple harmony I bought with my stimulus. I have neck issues and a side sleeper. I used to get headaches every morning from my other pillows. With the purple harmony my headaches are gone. I love it so much.
@@candieland4276 somehow I missed your reply three months ago UA-cam doesn’t always give me my notifications. Anyway someone else commented below so I guess Noah is a little bit of both?
It's difficult to tell what Noah identifies as because they haven't updated any of their public social media sites since 2019. The only thing I've heard James refer to Noah as his daughter, so that's what I've stuck with.
I used to wake up with a serious neck ache/headache every day. I had great difficulty finding a pillow thick enough to support those areas. I'm a big gal who is a side sleeper. I ordered the Purple Harmony pillow in the extra thick version ( no extra charge for that, either!). I swear by this pillow--NO more head or neck pain!
Yeah, James is the kinda guy who you can have a beer with and feel yourselves comfortable and in good company all along. Love your videos, you are well spoken and articulate. Take my 👍 Well deserved. - a long time fan. 🤟 😀
I just want to thank you! You're reviews got me to buy the coop eden! I've had it ten months now, I plan to do a review at the one-year mark, and I absolutely love it. I am an all-of-the-above sleeper, side, back, front, and I have a tendency to squish my pillows against the head of my bed (yes, I have a headboard, yes I have thrown myself thrown myself headfirst off my bed before, yes I'm going to pretend that's normal) so my pillows last 4 months maximum because I just seem to beat them to death. So when I found the coop pillow with refillable stuffing, I had to try it. The first month was so good I couldn't read in bed because I would fall asleep. I only just added stuffing for the first time and I'm learning how much extra stuffing I need to revive the pillow enough for it to be good without over-filling it, but this is totally my forever pillow. If a pillow can survive a year with me it could last a normal person years upon years. So yeah, great product. You're prior review (and a few others) helped me find my little pillow cloud, so I appreciate the work you're doing!
@@niki3597 Not weird at all! I've only put it in the dryer about three times since I purchased it, which is now about a year and a half. I mostly throw it in the dryer to refluff the pillow and to sanitize it a little. However, I did notice that even on tumble dry low it does cause the stuffing to turn slightly green, in a kind of melted and resolidifying kind of way that changed the texture a little (only noticeable when your putting your hand in.. So that made me hesitant to put it in the dryer too often. Despite this I learned a basic fluffing revives the pillow and manually fluffing (opening the pillow and pulling the stuffing fibers apart) makes it like new.
@@myheartiswriting I was thinking of returning it. Reading your commentary, I had a change of heart and just unboxed it. Thank you for the feedback, super helpful!
I’ve had my Coop Eden pillow for about two years now. It looks like new after every wash. I keep the extra filling in a compressible travel bag in my closet. Consumer Reports placed the Coop as number one/best pillow. I bought mine before the CR review, and am very happy I did. When I’m ready to, I fall asleep immediately.
Hilariously, I didn't realize this review was 3 years old until you were on your last pillow (right around the same time I saw your Contortionist shirt. Awesome band.) Currently in the market for a good pillow. I start on my side but then I believe I rotate to sleeping on my stomach and back on my side randomly. Solid vid. Congrats on 20k likes and 816k views! Impressive.
I actually bought a pillow from the Marriott hotels. They sell them online and I remember sleeping on them during a trip in school and it was really soft! It turned out to be one of the best investments I ever made I love the damn thing.
@@IMOO1896 It really varies. Even within a hotel chain. I use to do computer replacements for a particular hotel chain, and would stay at their hotels over night as part of the deployment..and somtimes I'd go to a hotel, and the pillows would be awesome, and sometimes I'd go and they would suck. I watched this video cause I have a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep, and I am looking for options to improve my sleep cause my lack of sleep is starting to affect my ability to work well. In addition to the pillows, I am considering various sleep masks, and noise cancelling headphones (designed as sleep aides)...
The profit margin on pillows is even more obscene than that of replacement cartridges for razor. $2 worth of material for a $70 pillow. If you can get away with it good for you.
Off-topic, but learn how to use a safety razor. I bought one and a pack of 100 razor blades in 2017 off of Amazon for $40, and I'm a little over halfway through the blades. Shaves legs, pits and anything else just fine, and when I do cut myself shaving, I barely notice and it's not as irritated as with other razors. I will never go back and pay $30 for 6 cartridges ever again.
I love my Coop pillow. I bought a zipper pillow protector put in the extra foam that came with it plus the 40% I took out and made a second pillow. Works great for a travel pillow or flatter regular pillow. Two for one makes the price even better.
I just got my Coop pillow thanks to your review, and you were right on target, cost is not to bad, but the luxury of having the option to either add or remove stuffing is great. Most pillows you buy and use, if you don't like it, your kind of stuck with it, and the cost. The pillow I adjusted till I got it just right. Thanks again for your review and keep them coming. I turn on all my friends to your site and hopefully your subscribers number will grow and grow.
My husband and I own and love the Purple Harmony. We got one free (had to pay extra b/c its king sized) with the purchase of our purple bed and just decided to add the second to the order. They feel amazing, hold their shape and sleep cool. I never thought I would pay that much for a pillow but I can honestly say that both me and my husband feel they were worth the money.
Yep same here! I have various neck and back issues, plus really bad reflux, so i need to sleep at an incline, and slightly to one side. I've got 3 big pillows staggered to raise my back, a travel pillow for under my neck and a small pillow behind my back to keep me in position. I can't stay in any one position more than 2 or 3 hours without severe pain, so then i rotate everything. It's a process lol. Man, I'd love to just throw down a single pillow and go to sleep for the whole night!
Jennifer Kingsbury I’m in a very similar situation right now because of vertigo and acid reflux as well. It’s been so hard trying to not change positions. The pain in my hip and leg will get to be unbearable. I never thought about using a travel pillow. I should try that. I have been using a fluffy pillow behind my back to keep me in place but that barely works. I’m thinking about getting a new mattress to prevent the pain but I don’t think one actually exists.
@@andria2369 I’ve suffered from hip pain off and on through the years and went for some PT. The PT actually helped me find the best position for me to sleep and it included a small pillow being wedging between my back and mattress and also sleeping with a pillow between the knees. Sleeping with a pillow between the knees helps to keep your pelvis open and alleviate any pressure.
@@andria2369 I also deal with vertigo and use a two wedge pillows from Amazon to put under my mattress so the whole width of the mattress where my head is is the same slightly elevated level. I did cut the wedge down at the thicker portion on both wedges as I was up at too high an angle and then my tailbone was sore. I then only need one pillow under my head which for me is the Coop. But I’ve gone through hundreds of dollars in pillows. Vertigo is horrible and I get anxiety some nights thinking I’ll have an episode so I’m afraid to move. I hope you’ve been to a doc or PT who can help you. My husband helps me with the Epley maneuver when I have an episode. Good luck!
you are doing a great job. I kinda like the simple no frills approach with not an insane amount of drama, music and fancy cut overs and zoom ins and outs
love my purple harmony. Well worth the price. I have had two lower back surgeries and one neck and this is the only one I've been able to consistently sleep on. Goes really well with the purple mattress.
Thanks to your reviews, I bought the Purple Harmony. No more neck or back pain waking up! LOVE IT!! I got the low profile one as most pillows are too high for me (I’m a 5’4” thin female). It squishes just right all night.
Very thorough and comprehensive. I appreciate all the sleepless nights you guys went through to give us your reviews. Pillows are such a personal rhong.
Love your reviews, not just your style but that YOU actually try, test and review. Haven't found anyone else that does, well that doesn't add all the colorful language to their speech. This review made me run to the purple pillow and get two. Thanks! Smiles and blessings...
The Coop pillow is awesome... and I highly recommend their cooling version for hot sleepers. Adjustable the same way but with a memory foam inside that helps you sleep cooler! Winner!
You will never have a better pillow in your life me and my wife bought two when we bought our purple mattress and now 12 members of our extended family have them because they've tried ours out and ran out and spent 170 bucks on one
I bought the mattress with pillows and it's one of the best beds I've ever slept on. I used to work warehouse moving liquor boxes on pallets and it definitely helped my back. The pillows are great too. My wife's friends came from out of town and they slept in our bed. One of them immediately was like "what is this bed made out of?!" and now she wants to order one too lol.
I’ve been looking for a new pillow because I have a really bad neck ache and I can’t get into a good deep sleep I’m not sure of a pillow to get out of the purple pillows I’m thinking the purple harmony!?
@@krystlegregory3130 Yeah kind of hard to decide. definitely check it out, i think they have a money back thing within 30 days for their pillows just like their mattresses, so you can try it out first.
My vote hands down goes to the “Cube”. I recommend it to any side sleeper. I just got one recently and it’s fantastic. I tended to shift to the sides on regular pillows so I can breathe. Constant fluffing, turning, punching down. Don’t need to do that with the cube. And it really is cooler. It’s not cool, I’ve yet to find a bed, sheets, anything that really does that. But I haven’t woken up with sweaty hair yet. Second place is one of the ones where you can adjust the filling. I haven’t tried the purple pillow, but I might in my quest for sleep.
The Pillow Cube is certainly for a specific group of people who are side sleepers and need significant support. My neck has never felt better after getting my Pillow Cube Pro. I also use CPAP and most other pillows get in the way. Because the Pillow Cube is flat, it doesn’t obstruct the CPAP mask. So for some, it’s worth the investment while for others, they’re better with something else.
Thank you for this comment. Exactly what I was looking for. I side sleep and wake up with neck pain and also use a cpap. Spending $100+ on a pillow doesn’t bother me because it’s a once a year maybe purchase.
I use a bipap machine myself and seen the pillow cube. I wasn't sure if I should get it because my head is also 25 inch circumference and is heavy but the neck area is such an issue for me. Always doubling on pillows and even then it doesn't work too well. Knowing some people who have cpap/bipap machines using this works sounds like I should try it
I have spent so much money over the years and it seems to be an ongoing issue in fact I have several of these pillows. I'm a side sleeper with major neck and back issues so I'm very excited to see the reviews. I was happy to see my current favorite on the list but a little disappointed that it didn't rank higher. I have the Pillow Cube Pro (5 inch) and I really love it. It gives my neck the support it needs and no neck pain in the morning. My reaction to the other ones I have are the same as yours. I haven't spent as much for any pillow as the purple one but if my Cube stops working I may look into it. Great methodical reviews!
I picked up the Coop pillow a few years ago and stumbled on this review looking at pillow cube just because I see so many ads for it. I actually love my Coop pillow, and have not been looking to replace it. I was just curious about the cube. Now that I've seen this video I know that I am not the only one that loves the Coop! I wish mine came with extra foam (they didn't used to ship it that way). Good news is my wife had one too and wanted less foam so it worked out for both of us!
My goodness. First time on your channel, just wanting some reference before dropping a goofy amount of money on a pillow and I was taken aback by how thorough you were in your review. Very impressive and refreshing. Reminds me of how detailed we had to be when we did lab experiments in science courses lol
struggled with crap pillows for years and finally pulled the trigger on two of the purple harmony pillows! best sleep decision made...ever! they're expensive, but so worth it. they do have some getting used to because they're a little high for some people, but once you do get used to them...they're amazing. i do, however, want to try that coop you reviewed. seems interesting and way less expensive. great video!
Great review as always. I enjoy the multi review to cover more angles of the products with different perspective. I really enjoyed Noah's detailed descriptions and takes of the products. Watch out dad if she tries to start her own review channel lol.
I love you and your family! Thank you for this very thorough help! I had already bought the pillow cube a couple years ago before the pro came out. I haven’t ever been able to use it. The first two nights were awful-side sleeper. Buttt after seeing your video, I checked out their new sizes, took a bread knife(works like a charm on this material) went with 5.5 inches and now not only is it perfect and amazing, I have the remaining for a pad between my knees!!! I’m in love. Get out your bread knives! ❤️
I bought a memory foam pillow in TJMaxx several years ago for $15. and it's very comfortable. Liked it so much that I went back and bought another for my dog. He also loves it. 😄
Thank you so much for this professional and thorough review. I was looking at pillows as mine are flat and nonsupportive. Being a self-described chronic insomniac, I want a pillow that will hopefully promote better sleep. I'm a side sleeper and loved that you all are too. Based on all your recommendations, I'm going to try the Coop pillow. Thank you for such a consistent, professional and well thought out review. I just subscribed to your channel. Noah's comment about it's just like sleeping on my mattress with a pillowcase made me laugh. The other thing was when Noah said it's like that pillow at your best friend's house at 2 in the morning, lol. James, Noah and Brandon great job! Dolores
I've had a purple pillow for 2 years and it REALLLY started to flop and eventually softened out way too much and now its all lumpy and very inconsistent!( they say it won't get flat but for HEAVY sleepers like me who roll and move their pillow with their hands a lot while sleeping it gets beat up faster than youd think) was very upset after like 6 months of using it. This makes me want to buy the coop!!♡
And it seems to me that if you take out 40% of the Coop's filling to start with, if it starts to flatten out after a while you can just add a bit more filling back in.
I did a blind test of around 15-20 pillows. My favorite was the pillow cube side sleeper pro thin (I did not like regular or thick one) followed by the purple harmony.
Always on the hunt for the primo bedding products. We appreciate your hard work and long nights of sleep James! BTW Noah's new look is awesome! Rockin that head of curls.
James, I like you doing reviews with your twins. I enjoy watching the family dynamics when you discuss the products. Keep peppering in some family reviews for products every now and then, very fun to watch .
I wonder if longevity would influence the choice between the top two, as price did. If the Purple never really degrades or loses its shape it would be worth paying the high price as a one time thing. It could be the difference, as the other would eventually degrade and flatten. You can always add more foam, but it’s cost and work to maintain your perfect level of comfort.
A HALF HOUR OF FREAKIN REVIEWS HELL YES. I know you always say you try to limit the length. Just know I am one of the people who'd watch it even if it were an hour long ;)
Thank you, James! My daughter has a lot of neck and shoulder pain. She tried several pillows and returned them. Natalie watched your video and purchased the Coop. After a couple of nights, she is VERY happy with it. THANKS SO MUCH! I am a long-time subscriber and you have the best reviews. Hi, from hot and muggy south Florida! Terri and Natalie
I just came across your reviews this evening and I am thoroughly impressed with the amount of time, energy and inspection of every detail that you put into your reviews. The fact that you involve your children so that we may have 3 different opinions also adds a lot to the review. Using each pillow for a full week to make sure you have a good feel for the product...I am amazed and impressed. In future if I plan to make a purchase I will check your videos first. Also, thank you for checking out the Moon Pod Bean Bag Chair. Cheers!
As a Purple enthusiast, I watched this video to find other thoughts on the Purple pillows. I've been a huge fan of the original Purple pillow but there's something beautiful about the Purple Harmony pillow. Great video, enjoyed watching the family participate. Good work, fellas :)
Would you want to buy the Harmony? I have a purple pillow now, I feel super comfortable and cool, I'm thinking about buying a harmony, but it's double price in my area ：（
The wife and I have had the hardest time finding the correct pillow all our lives and because of this video we ordered the body pillow by coop and it has changed our sleeping forever!!! (In a good way!) the fact that you can adjust the fluff whenever is amazing, the pillow is super soft on the outside and we removed about 1/2 the fluff to begin with and it was just short of perfect! After about a month we both agreed it was getting a little flat, we added a bit more fluff and viola!!!! The pillow was perfect again! We have even thought about buying one for camping! Thank you James! We were going to get the Sleep Gram before this video!
Strict Side sleeper here: the Purple Harmony pillow is freaking amazing. I’m in love. Bought the 7.5in one. I would spend the insane price for it again because I don’t feel I will ever need to replace it.
Thank you, for taking the Sleep Test for us.. The Purple Harmony sounds about right, but now I need tp do my own Sleep Test. Not everyone's comfort zone is the same. 😴💤
When I bought my Brooklyn Bedding mattress 4-5 years ago, it came with two free king size pillows made with shredded memory foam from their mattress. And much like the coop, it comes (sealed, however) overfilled with too much foam making it a very nice choice as a mini body/snuggler pillow! It came with a zippered case, and inside is a sealed mesh case holding the foam. Because of this review, I think I might tear it open and try to customize it to see if it can replace my expensive sleep number contoured pillow which just ain’t perfect. Thanks for the idea
I use "I heart pillow" one side keeps heat (for winter), the other side pulls heat away (for summer). About $70. It works. It's not hard nor soft. It's also a good height for my head.
I'm always impressed on how professional and thorough he is in all his reviews. I don't think any other review channel is quite so committed to give a fair shot, even to the most out-there or gimmicky products, or to keep testing them even when the first impression is really bad. This video, with a six week rotation, and three testers, is just further proof of how seriously he takes the job. Kudos. His channel should be the benchmark for all other review channel on UA-cam... Five stars. Lol
Right? The minute I heard "this is the 6th week" I had to go back and hear it again. Even though I've seen some of his other "long" reviews I didn't believe he tried the pillows for a month and a half. I love it.

I've been sleeping on the Coop pillow for about a year. The first time my head touched the Coop pillow, I thought, "Wow!" This pillow is very supportive while also being "cushiony". Each night, I still think, "aah" when I put my head down. This side-sleeper loves the Coop pillow!
the eden or the regular coop pillow??
Love that everyone gets their favorite pillow in the end.
He is a classic dad. Each kid got to keep their favorite and he says “ill just keep using my beautyrest i got like a year ago” haha just like a dad
WHY is it so hard to engineer a freakin pillow that doesn't suck??!
Bc everyone has diff preferences
@@michellem5647 Ya, but you can say that about pretty much everything. With everything else seems like there is at least one "80% will like this" option. Pillows are underrated and not enough pillow engineering is happening, imho.
100% agree. I have tried more then 15 pillows and they ALL suck. I have fibromyalgia btw so it's hard for me to find a comfy pillow anyway
Get a purple harmony, it'll change your life
Tbh the thing that's worked best for me was to force myself to sleep on my back without any pillow
I ordered a sack of blue memory foam shreds from Amazon Prime and I stuffed my worn-out old pillow with it and now I have the best pillow I can ever sleep on, problem solved for a little bit of money.
brilliant 👏
I bought wool and stuffed a pillowcase with it. I found wool to be much better than memory foam.
You never see these big UA-camrs test wool which I find very sketchy. It's always things they can make commission on. Wool is the best stuffing I've found as it's comfortable and it eliminated my dust mite allergy. It is much cheaper than all these chemical materials as well.
@@dtz1000 this is the first time I'm hearing about wool filling, I have a very open mind and love to hear about new and better things, thank you, it might even be better filling to firm up a bean bag chair. As long as this right-wing capitalist piece of shit greedy my pillow guy doesn't make any profit off of it I am totally fine. then again acquiring this much wool to stuff pillows and possibly bean bag chairs might be very expensive compared to memory foam, unless you are a sheep herder.
That’s a great idea! I love my pillows, but I am always sad when they have to be replaced. I growled at my hubby when he attempted to take “by mistake.” Lol
@@dtz1000 - not a bad idea for cost savings and softness but wool is going to get HOT... nothing worse than waking up sweating.
Real people doing a real test, and we really appreciate it!
I love that you brought on extra people to review these pillows since what makes a comfortable pillow is so subjective from person to person. Noah and I sound like we have similar sleep styles so this really makes me want to try the Purple pillow! It was really sweet of you to let your kids keep their favorite pillows too ☺️
So did you buy the purple pillow. I bought their mattress because of his review and I have to say I hate it. My back just hurts so bad when I get out of bed it looks like I am a crippled person
I’ve had the Purple pillow since January (10 months) and I have chronic neck pain. My husband loved it so much he was always stealing it so we recently got him one too. I like the Purple’s adjustability and coolness (I am a HOT sleeper). We have a Tempur-Pedic mattress now which has sunk in a bit over time so I am still fiddling with the loft, but having that adjustability helps. I actually needed to take one layer out of mine despite being a side sleeper, and my broad-shouldered husband needed one more layer so it worked out well. I am still hoping my neck pain will improve, but between three slipped discs in my neck and three back surgeries, I’m not too hopeful that much will help my pain anymore. 😢
@@forest_maidenwhat adjustability? Are you sure you're talking about the purple pillow?
I've been using the Coop Home Goods Eden pillow for almost 3 years as my primary pillow and love it! May have to try the Purple next. BTW, thanks for ACTUALLY reviewing things and not just advertising them like some other channels.
Have you tried the purple pillow?

I just got the Pillow Cube for Side and Back sleepers. I wasn’t sure what to expect with it. I wanted to get a 4” but they only had the 5” available.
I’ve never had a better night’s sleep. Then again, I seem to have similar taste to Noah. So I’ll probably have to give the Purple a shot. I’ll always pick quality over price, even if that means I have to wait to buy. Why buy a car that’s uncomfortable and not safe when there are better options, even if they’re more expensive.
There are options that satisfy the in-between, but a pillow is not a car and is easier to save for before buying than the car is. If it’s going to last and save money, pain, and suffering in the long run, it’s probably worth it (unless it’s completely too good to be true)
Dad gave each their favorite pillow. True parent - lol
"And I'll just use my pillow from like a year ago..."
@@JC-fj7oo hahahaha absolutely true dad right there man hahah
At 1:00am watching a fella and his kids reviewing pillows for 30 minutes. I’m wide awake now.
We really live the same lives currently 1am for me and on a terrible pillow watching a dad and his kids review pillows
@@JLean-hu8fgI concur. I need to invest in better pillows for sure after watching this. I have a better appreciation for reviewers that test these products for the masses.
Same here
Lol
🤣🤣
I'm from Brazil, and never heard of any of those pillows, but here I am, paying close attention to this review, only because this channel and this family are so great!
Your kids are so articulate. I bought a Coop a few weeks ago and glad I did.
You seem to have a great relationship with your kids, which makes your videos with them really enjoyable to watch
I watched this video because of my curiosity of the pillow cube. Thank you for helping me make my decision.
Yup.
I need a wider pillow! I can't imagine rolling over in the middle of the night and having my head fall off the other side of the pillow. 🤔
@@theblogauthority - that wouldn't be fun.
@@theblogauthority that's the original cube pillow. The pro one is wide as a table!
So I have the big pillow cube that is the width of a normal pillow. I'm a straight side sleeper and I love this pillow. I highly recommend it
Taking out that much has it good points, Because when the stuffing starts to go down from uses, put the left over stuffing back in and you have a new pillow !
Exacly, lol
That's what I said too! 😊
I think that's why you're supposed to throw it in the dryer every now and then.
That’s why I love the coop!
Was thinking the same.
I love to see how his kids have grown into young adults. I remember the first videos I saw them in, they seemed so shy and self conscious. I love that they've really grown into speaking up and expressing well thought out opinions. He looks like such a great Dad.

Are you kidding me? A half hour video? YES!
YES!
Sleep is life
@@austintrousdale2397 almost more than 1/2 of life is Wasted on sleep.
I've used the coop pillow for 2 years and it changed my life. I have degenerative disc disorder in my neck and it's the first pillow that has allowed me to sleep comfortably in 10 years. It was easy to customize too. I live in Phoenix, and I bought the one that has cool gel in it and I have yet to wake up to head or neck sweat. Amazing pillow! My husband loves his too.
Nice, how much of the foam did you remove if any?
@@AlanTrades The foam level depends on the person. There is a guide included to get you started. I have a particularly long neck, so I needed to remove less than my husband. It's a bit of trial and error. If I recall correctly, it took 2 tries to get me to the level that was right for me. I'd recommend removing more than you think you need to... It's very lofty. 🙂
Hi, I have a terrible neck pain everything I wake up. did u have the same issue, and did tue coop help?
which coop the eden or the regular one? i’m stuck between the two idk which one to get
@@xanderkai6353 we have the Eden pillows because we are in Phoenix and sleep hot. The Eden would be my choice in warm climates.
Friend: Hey Brandon, which pillow do you use?
My Response: Oh you know... the "Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow" 😂
Friend *slowly backs away*: o-ok, cool man...
What happened to your channel btw? :(
I'd say that seems to be a good choice & would be my choice too.
@@sleepysnoot8881 COVID
Did you say the Coop Home Goods Premium Adjustable Loft Pillow? No way.
Got my hubby a Coop for Christmas, he really loves it. We took out about 30 to 40 precent. The extra stuffing you can make another pillow with a zippered pillow protecter. Blessings
My wife pointed out how Brandon nodded his head when Noah and James were talking then we both noticed how all 3 did the same thing and now we can’t unsee it 🤣. Good reviews as always!
Can't unsee!
It's a generic unconscious reaction that most people do when conversing with, and listening to others.
*nods in agreement/approval*
It's great to hear positive feedback from a family of dedicated side-sleepers, like me! Thank you for your sleep sacrifices, hard work, and understandable summaries.
I like that you had a panel of experts in this video, different opinions were great. And glad that Brandon and Noah got to keep their top picks!
Noah was right about the Pillow cube smelling like almonds, there are comments on the review saying that it smells like peanut butter. It's in Drew Gooden's video.
Noah’s voice is so relaxing. Everyone was so professional the whole time it got kinda funny
This just came up as a suggestion after 3 years! I have tried so many pillows. Thanks to you and your kids for helping make an informed decision.
I own and love the coop. I bought the cooling one (I sleep hot). I also took about 30-40% out. I had enough filler left to make a small travel pillow lol. Great review.
Katelyn DeMello What a good idea!
Do you still like it now that it’s 10 months later? I need to get a pillow before my neck gets even worse
I have the coop as well. I took out about the same amount but found it to still run hot for me. Wife accidentally swapped pillows one night and fell in love. I'm now looking into the purple pillow.
3 years ago, I bough the Coop for my boyfriend since he preferred feather pillows and I was allergic to it. He finally took out almost half of it and really loved it since.
@@dcwatashi i have issues with the coop being stringy? the casing just has major issues in my opinion.. string or something from the case just keeps coming off even nearly a year later for me
Using Sleepgram here...got them 4 months ago, wanted something that could be washed frequently, which these can be. We three at our house use the inserts differently, too! Hubs likes 2 pillows fully loaded, I like the cover plus red and my son uses cover with the blue insert....so adjustable! I’m particularly impressed with how they come out of the wash, the filler is fluffy and not balled up in one side or another. Don’t think I’d like the shredded foam, love the filler in Sleepgram, it’s soft and not lumpy. Pillows have been the bane of my existence for years...keeping them clean, especially. This is our forever pillow, I’m certain. Thanks for your time well spent on this extensive review, just goes to show how pillows are so personal. Cheers!
I love how you go in depth with your reviews, you do all kinds of test not just one giving it a more than fair review. I wish more people would be that way so people would have a much easier time knowing what is best for them. Thanks for all you do James!
I have a purple harmony I bought with my stimulus. I have neck issues and a side sleeper. I used to get headaches every morning from my other pillows. With the purple harmony my headaches are gone. I love it so much.
I absolutely love Brandon and Noah..good kids very likable with great personalities..congratulations James you have raised a couple decent Gentlemen!
I was wondering if Noah was a girl or a boy even though it seems like it’s a boys name
@@dcwatashi I have no freaking idea if Noah is a boy or girl...very confused too🙄
@@bostonrailfan2427 OK thanks, clears up little confusion so now it’s only mud lol
@@candieland4276 somehow I missed your reply three months ago UA-cam doesn’t always give me my notifications. Anyway someone else commented below so I guess Noah is a little bit of both?
It's difficult to tell what Noah identifies as because they haven't updated any of their public social media sites since 2019. The only thing I've heard James refer to Noah as his daughter, so that's what I've stuck with.
I used to wake up with a serious neck ache/headache every day. I had great difficulty finding a pillow thick enough to support those areas. I'm a big gal who is a side sleeper. I ordered the Purple Harmony pillow in the extra thick version ( no extra charge for that, either!). I swear by this pillow--NO more head or neck pain!
Yeah, James is the kinda guy who you can have a beer with and feel yourselves comfortable and in good company all along. Love your videos, you are well spoken and articulate. Take my 👍
Well deserved. - a long time fan. 🤟 😀
Except afterwards you'd have to tell him how you would rate the beer
@@shorttimer874 🤣🤣🤣🍺👍
I agree. He seems like a good guy
I just want to thank you! You're reviews got me to buy the coop eden! I've had it ten months now, I plan to do a review at the one-year mark, and I absolutely love it. I am an all-of-the-above sleeper, side, back, front, and I have a tendency to squish my pillows against the head of my bed (yes, I have a headboard, yes I have thrown myself thrown myself headfirst off my bed before, yes I'm going to pretend that's normal) so my pillows last 4 months maximum because I just seem to beat them to death. So when I found the coop pillow with refillable stuffing, I had to try it. The first month was so good I couldn't read in bed because I would fall asleep. I only just added stuffing for the first time and I'm learning how much extra stuffing I need to revive the pillow enough for it to be good without over-filling it, but this is totally my forever pillow. If a pillow can survive a year with me it could last a normal person years upon years. So yeah, great product. You're prior review (and a few others) helped me find my little pillow cloud, so I appreciate the work you're doing!
Weird question but how often do you have to tumble low in the dryer?
@@niki3597 Not weird at all! I've only put it in the dryer about three times since I purchased it, which is now about a year and a half. I mostly throw it in the dryer to refluff the pillow and to sanitize it a little. However, I did notice that even on tumble dry low it does cause the stuffing to turn slightly green, in a kind of melted and resolidifying kind of way that changed the texture a little (only noticeable when your putting your hand in.. So that made me hesitant to put it in the dryer too often. Despite this I learned a basic fluffing revives the pillow and manually fluffing (opening the pillow and pulling the stuffing fibers apart) makes it like new.
@@myheartiswriting I was thinking of returning it. Reading your commentary, I had a change of heart and just unboxed it. Thank you for the feedback, super helpful!
I’ve had my Coop Eden pillow for about two years now. It looks like new after every wash. I keep the extra filling in a compressible travel bag in my closet.
Consumer Reports placed the Coop as number one/best pillow.
I bought mine before the CR review, and am very happy I did. When I’m ready to, I fall asleep immediately.
Hilariously, I didn't realize this review was 3 years old until you were on your last pillow (right around the same time I saw your Contortionist shirt. Awesome band.) Currently in the market for a good pillow. I start on my side but then I believe I rotate to sleeping on my stomach and back on my side randomly. Solid vid. Congrats on 20k likes and 816k views! Impressive.
I actually bought a pillow from the Marriott hotels. They sell them online and I remember sleeping on them during a trip in school and it was really soft! It turned out to be one of the best investments I ever made I love the damn thing.
I think some of the department stores have picked up Marriot brand pillows... Belk or Dillard's if I recall correctly.
At any hotel, I need every pillow on the bed to give me needed support, can’t imagine buying A hotel pillow. Glad you found one you like.
Weird. Gotta wonder how many people slept on your pillow before they pulled it from the room and sent it to you. 😖
@@IMOO1896 It really varies. Even within a hotel chain. I use to do computer replacements for a particular hotel chain, and would stay at their hotels over night as part of the deployment..and somtimes I'd go to a hotel, and the pillows would be awesome, and sometimes I'd go and they would suck. I watched this video cause I have a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep, and I am looking for options to improve my sleep cause my lack of sleep is starting to affect my ability to work well. In addition to the pillows, I am considering various sleep masks, and noise cancelling headphones (designed as sleep aides)...
That's what I was thinking when I saw their website!
Crazy amount of time and effort put into this. Highly recommend
The profit margin on pillows is even more obscene than that of replacement cartridges for razor. $2 worth of material for a $70 pillow. If you can get away with it good for you.
xLucky Sinz absolutely!
Do you forget about production cost. For every process in production is a cost. The cost of the pillows is not in material but in production
@@lancefry7299 Yeah, those Malaysian 12 year olds have unions now.
Off-topic, but learn how to use a safety razor. I bought one and a pack of 100 razor blades in 2017 off of Amazon for $40, and I'm a little over halfway through the blades. Shaves legs, pits and anything else just fine, and when I do cut myself shaving, I barely notice and it's not as irritated as with other razors. I will never go back and pay $30 for 6 cartridges ever again.
I have been using the coop pillow for a couple years now and I love it.No more neck pain, I think this is my forever pillow
I love my Coop pillow. I bought a zipper pillow protector put in the extra foam that came with it plus the 40% I took out and made a second pillow. Works great for a travel pillow or flatter regular pillow. Two for one makes the price even better.
this is a fantastic idea, i just ordered one and and probably going to do this assuming i dont need all the filling! thank you!
This video was very helpful to me. In the end I ordered the purple pillow and I couldn't be happier. No more neck pain.
Noah and James both have very soothing voice
I thought the same thing. Noah should make a meditation video.
Dolores
Probably cause they both were the only ones that had mics on them, boosts sound quality
Would love to see an update after 3 months, to see what flattens out and what keeps its shape well.
You gonna pay them buddy?
Braindead bots I swear
I just got my Coop pillow thanks to your review, and you were right on target, cost is not to bad, but the luxury of having the option to either add or remove stuffing is great. Most pillows you buy and use, if you don't like it, your kind of stuck with it, and the cost. The pillow I adjusted till I got it just right.
Thanks again for your review and keep them coming. I turn on all my friends to your site and hopefully your subscribers number will grow and grow.
My husband and I own and love the Purple Harmony. We got one free (had to pay extra b/c its king sized) with the purchase of our purple bed and just decided to add the second to the order. They feel amazing, hold their shape and sleep cool. I never thought I would pay that much for a pillow but I can honestly say that both me and my husband feel they were worth the money.
I tried one in store and was amazed how nice it was for side sleeping I may need to order at least one for now lol
People only sleep with one pillow? I have like 16 on my bed of various sides and make myself a rest fortress when I sleep.
Yep same here! I have various neck and back issues, plus really bad reflux, so i need to sleep at an incline, and slightly to one side. I've got 3 big pillows staggered to raise my back, a travel pillow for under my neck and a small pillow behind my back to keep me in position. I can't stay in any one position more than 2 or 3 hours without severe pain, so then i rotate everything. It's a process lol. Man, I'd love to just throw down a single pillow and go to sleep for the whole night!
Jennifer Kingsbury I’m in a very similar situation right now because of vertigo and acid reflux as well. It’s been so hard trying to not change positions. The pain in my hip and leg will get to be unbearable. I never thought about using a travel pillow. I should try that. I have been using a fluffy pillow behind my back to keep me in place but that barely works. I’m thinking about getting a new mattress to prevent the pain but I don’t think one actually exists.
@@andria2369 I’ve suffered from hip pain off and on through the years and went for some PT. The PT actually helped me find the best position for me to sleep and it included a small pillow being wedging between my back and mattress and also sleeping with a pillow between the knees. Sleeping with a pillow between the knees helps to keep your pelvis open and alleviate any pressure.
@@andria2369 I also deal with vertigo and use a two wedge pillows from Amazon to put under my mattress so the whole width of the mattress where my head is is the same slightly elevated level. I did cut the wedge down at the thicker portion on both wedges as I was up at too high an angle and then my tailbone was sore. I then only need one pillow under my head which for me is the Coop. But I’ve gone through hundreds of dollars in pillows. Vertigo is horrible and I get anxiety some nights thinking I’ll have an episode so I’m afraid to move. I hope you’ve been to a doc or PT who can help you. My husband helps me with the Epley maneuver when I have an episode. Good luck!
hehehehehehe!
you are doing a great job. I kinda like the simple no frills approach with not an insane amount of drama, music and fancy cut overs and zoom ins and outs
Love your videos! This is perfect timing. After recently sleeping at a nice hotel, I realized how sucky my pillows are.
love my purple harmony. Well worth the price. I have had two lower back surgeries and one neck and this is the only one I've been able to consistently sleep on. Goes really well with the purple mattress.
I like that you had the kids in to do a comparison. More videos like this please.
Thanks to your reviews, I bought the Purple Harmony. No more neck or back pain waking up! LOVE IT!! I got the low profile one as most pillows are too high for me (I’m a 5’4” thin female). It squishes just right all night.
Very thorough and comprehensive. I appreciate all the sleepless nights you guys went through to give us your reviews. Pillows are such a personal rhong.
Love your reviews, not just your style but that YOU actually try, test and review. Haven't found anyone else that does, well that doesn't add all the colorful language to their speech. This review made me run to the purple pillow and get two. Thanks! Smiles and blessings...
That Pillow Cube reminds me of a Klondike Bar with the chocolate shell removed 🤣
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
Now I can't unsee that. lol
Reminded me more of the ice breakers cube gum.
@@laurallewien2165 what would you do for pillow cube?
Plot twist: it WAS a Klondike bar.
The Coop pillow is awesome... and I highly recommend their cooling version for hot sleepers. Adjustable the same way but with a memory foam inside that helps you sleep cooler! Winner!
Noah def has me eyeing the purple pillow lol. No one else seemed to have the same reaction to any of the 5
You will never have a better pillow in your life me and my wife bought two when we bought our purple mattress and now 12 members of our extended family have them because they've tried ours out and ran out and spent 170 bucks on one
I bought the mattress with pillows and it's one of the best beds I've ever slept on. I used to work warehouse moving liquor boxes on pallets and it definitely helped my back. The pillows are great too. My wife's friends came from out of town and they slept in our bed. One of them immediately was like "what is this bed made out of?!" and now she wants to order one too lol.
I’ve been looking for a new pillow because I have a really bad neck ache and I can’t get into a good deep sleep I’m not sure of a pillow to get out of the purple pillows I’m thinking the purple harmony!?
@@krystlegregory3130 Yeah kind of hard to decide. definitely check it out, i think they have a money back thing within 30 days for their pillows just like their mattresses, so you can try it out first.
My vote hands down goes to the “Cube”. I recommend it to any side sleeper. I just got one recently and it’s fantastic. I tended to shift to the sides on regular pillows so I can breathe. Constant fluffing, turning, punching down. Don’t need to do that with the cube. And it really is cooler. It’s not cool, I’ve yet to find a bed, sheets, anything that really does that. But I haven’t woken up with sweaty hair yet. Second place is one of the ones where you can adjust the filling. I haven’t tried the purple pillow, but I might in my quest for sleep.
The Pillow Cube is certainly for a specific group of people who are side sleepers and need significant support. My neck has never felt better after getting my Pillow Cube Pro. I also use CPAP and most other pillows get in the way. Because the Pillow Cube is flat, it doesn’t obstruct the CPAP mask. So for some, it’s worth the investment while for others, they’re better with something else.
Thank you for this comment. Exactly what I was looking for. I side sleep and wake up with neck pain and also use a cpap. Spending $100+ on a pillow doesn’t bother me because it’s a once a year maybe purchase.
I use a bipap machine myself and seen the pillow cube. I wasn't sure if I should get it because my head is also 25 inch circumference and is heavy but the neck area is such an issue for me. Always doubling on pillows and even then it doesn't work too well. Knowing some people who have cpap/bipap machines using this works sounds like I should try it
Definitely investing in the purple, experience/comfort/ restfulness/happiness is what i need ❤
I have spent so much money over the years and it seems to be an ongoing issue in fact I have several of these pillows. I'm a side sleeper with major neck and back issues so I'm very excited to see the reviews.
I was happy to see my current favorite on the list but a little disappointed that it didn't rank higher. I have the Pillow Cube Pro (5 inch) and I really love it. It gives my neck the support it needs and no neck pain in the morning.
My reaction to the other ones I have are the same as yours.
I haven't spent as much for any pillow as the purple one but if my Cube stops working I may look into it.
Great methodical reviews!
I picked up the Coop pillow a few years ago and stumbled on this review looking at pillow cube just because I see so many ads for it. I actually love my Coop pillow, and have not been looking to replace it. I was just curious about the cube. Now that I've seen this video I know that I am not the only one that loves the Coop! I wish mine came with extra foam (they didn't used to ship it that way). Good news is my wife had one too and wanted less foam so it worked out for both of us!
Dam 6 weeks that’s dedication...... nice job team James, Brandon and Noah.
My goodness. First time on your channel, just wanting some reference before dropping a goofy amount of money on a pillow and I was taken aback by how thorough you were in your review. Very impressive and refreshing. Reminds me of how detailed we had to be when we did lab experiments in science courses lol
“It felt like I was just laying on my mattress with just a pillowcase” -Noah
I don’t know why I found this analogy so funny!
Because that's what pillows feel like in motels and hotels lmao
@@MrMega200 so true!
struggled with crap pillows for years and finally pulled the trigger on two of the purple harmony pillows! best sleep decision made...ever! they're expensive, but so worth it. they do have some getting used to because they're a little high for some people, but once you do get used to them...they're amazing. i do, however, want to try that coop you reviewed. seems interesting and way less expensive. great video!
Great review as always. I enjoy the multi review to cover more angles of the products with different perspective. I really enjoyed Noah's detailed descriptions and takes of the products. Watch out dad if she tries to start her own review channel lol.
I love you and your family! Thank you for this very thorough help! I had already bought the pillow cube a couple years ago before the pro came out. I haven’t ever been able to use it. The first two nights were awful-side sleeper. Buttt after seeing your video, I checked out their new sizes, took a bread knife(works like a charm on this material) went with 5.5 inches and now not only is it perfect and amazing, I have the remaining for a pad between my knees!!! I’m in love. Get out your bread knives! ❤️
Stuffing the original purple pillow into the purple hex cover of the harmony pillow is wonderful
I bought a memory foam pillow in TJMaxx several years ago for $15. and it's very comfortable. Liked it so much that I went back and bought another for my dog. He also loves it. 😄
Thank you so much for this professional and thorough review. I was looking at pillows as mine are flat and nonsupportive. Being a self-described chronic insomniac, I want a pillow that will hopefully promote better sleep. I'm a side sleeper and loved that you all are too. Based on all your recommendations, I'm going to try the Coop pillow. Thank you for such a consistent, professional and well thought out review. I just subscribed to your channel. Noah's comment about it's just like sleeping on my mattress with a pillowcase made me laugh. The other thing was when Noah said it's like that pillow at your best friend's house at 2 in the morning, lol. James, Noah and Brandon great job!
Dolores
I've had a purple pillow for 2 years and it REALLLY started to flop and eventually softened out way too much and now its all lumpy and very inconsistent!( they say it won't get flat but for HEAVY sleepers like me who roll and move their pillow with their hands a lot while sleeping it gets beat up faster than youd think) was very upset after like 6 months of using it. This makes me want to buy the coop!!♡
And it seems to me that if you take out 40% of the Coop's filling to start with, if it starts to flatten out after a while you can just add a bit more filling back in.
I did a blind test of around 15-20 pillows. My favorite was the pillow cube side sleeper pro thin (I did not like regular or thick one) followed by the purple harmony.
100x more valuable then all the other videos I've watched combined. THANK YOU!
Always on the hunt for the primo bedding products. We appreciate your hard work and long nights of sleep James! BTW Noah's new look is awesome! Rockin that head of curls.
26:44 "Log squared" lol, clever on a number of levels. Good one!
James, I like you doing reviews with your twins. I enjoy watching the family dynamics when you discuss the products. Keep peppering in some family reviews for products every now and then, very fun to watch .
I wonder if longevity would influence the choice between the top two, as price did. If the Purple never really degrades or loses its shape it would be worth paying the high price as a one time thing. It could be the difference, as the other would eventually degrade and flatten. You can always add more foam, but it’s cost and work to maintain your perfect level of comfort.
A HALF HOUR OF FREAKIN REVIEWS HELL YES. I know you always say you try to limit the length. Just know I am one of the people who'd watch it even if it were an hour long ;)
Me too he should seriously start doing longer videos more often even if it's just a bunch of smaller products in one video
Its ironic how a long video about pillows doesn't put you to sleep
Thank you, James! My daughter has a lot of neck and shoulder pain. She tried several pillows and returned them. Natalie watched your video and purchased the Coop. After a couple of nights, she is VERY happy with it. THANKS SO MUCH! I am a long-time subscriber and you have the best reviews. Hi, from hot and muggy south Florida! Terri and Natalie
Great review, love how you got your kids involved for the extra experiences from different people.
I bought the purple harmony. Lets see how it goes. Ty for the video.
I just came across your reviews this evening and I am thoroughly impressed with the amount of time, energy and inspection of every detail that you put into your reviews. The fact that you involve your children so that we may have 3 different opinions also adds a lot to the review. Using each pillow for a full week to make sure you have a good feel for the product...I am amazed and impressed. In future if I plan to make a purchase I will check your videos first. Also, thank you for checking out the Moon Pod Bean Bag Chair. Cheers!
Great video. I’ve been sleeping on the coop for about 2 years now. Excellent pillow
You are so fun to watch. You remind me of my dad and it makes me smile.
As a Purple enthusiast, I watched this video to find other thoughts on the Purple pillows. I've been a huge fan of the original Purple pillow but there's something beautiful about the Purple Harmony pillow. Great video, enjoyed watching the family participate. Good work, fellas :)
Would you want to buy the Harmony? I have a purple pillow now, I feel super comfortable and cool, I'm thinking about buying a harmony, but it's double price in my area ：（
The wife and I have had the hardest time finding the correct pillow all our lives and because of this video we ordered the body pillow by coop and it has changed our sleeping forever!!! (In a good way!) the fact that you can adjust the fluff whenever is amazing, the pillow is super soft on the outside and we removed about 1/2 the fluff to begin with and it was just short of perfect! After about a month we both agreed it was getting a little flat, we added a bit more fluff and viola!!!! The pillow was perfect again! We have even thought about buying one for camping!
Thank you James! We were going to get the Sleep Gram before this video!
Strict Side sleeper here: the Purple Harmony pillow is freaking amazing. I’m in love. Bought the 7.5in one. I would spend the insane price for it again because I don’t feel I will ever need to replace it.
Thank you, for taking the Sleep Test for us.. The Purple Harmony sounds about right, but now I need tp do my own Sleep Test. Not everyone's comfort zone is the same. 😴💤
Thanks for the reviews. Buying pillows is unnecessarily difficult, and this has made it easier.
When I bought my Brooklyn Bedding mattress 4-5 years ago, it came with two free king size pillows made with shredded memory foam from their mattress. And much like the coop, it comes (sealed, however) overfilled with too much foam making it a very nice choice as a mini body/snuggler pillow! It came with a zippered case, and inside is a sealed mesh case holding the foam. Because of this review, I think I might tear it open and try to customize it to see if it can replace my expensive sleep number contoured pillow which just ain’t perfect. Thanks for the idea
finally a video review where the author actually gives out an opinion and not just "let me know what you think in the comments". great work.
I use "I heart pillow" one side keeps heat (for winter), the other side pulls heat away (for summer). About $70. It works.
It's not hard nor soft. It's also a good height for my head.
This is a proper review. Absolutely impressed, love the effort. Who else out here is doing this? Nobody ! This guy is great.
