Fill and feel
Fixed foam in cotton against foam you can reshape
MyPillow lists its fill only as foam, in a 100% cotton cover, and calls the Classic medium, with firm versions sold too. The maker says the pillows are made in the USA. Coop's listing breaks its fill down as 76% visco polyurethane foam and 24% polyester gel fiber, inside a cover of 60% polyester and 40% viscose rayon.
Size and loft
Who sets the height
The Classic cannot be adjusted. Its listing gives 28 by 18.5 inches and a thickness of 4 inches, in Standard, Queen and King. Coop's Queen is listed at 29 by 19 inches and 8 inches thick, and you can unzip it to add the extra bag of fill or take foam out. More foam pillows are scored on the same scale in our shredded memory foam picks.
Care, price and policies
Price, washing and the terms behind each
You can wash the whole MyPillow in the machine. Coop's care instructions cover its removable cover: cold water, a gentle cycle and a low tumble dry.
A Queen Classic costs $27.49 in a two-pack and $34.98 alone, against $89 for a Coop Queen. Coop gives 100 days on direct purchases and a 5-year limited warranty. MyPillow's 60-day money-back guarantee and 10-year warranty come from a brand-sponsored TV program page, and current terms could not be confirmed. The BBB reported in 2017 that MyPillow charged customers a fee to send a pillow back under that warranty, so get both brands' terms in writing before you weigh 10 years against 5. The CertiPUR-US directory lists Coop at company level and has no MyPillow entry, which the certifications guide puts in context.
Pick the Classic Pillow if
- your budget is under $35 a pillow
- you want to wash the whole pillow, not just a cover
- a fixed pillow around 4 inches thick suits the way you sleep
Pick the Original Adjustable Pillow if
- you want to change the height yourself
- a 100-day trial and a 5-year warranty with published terms matter to you
- you want fewer low ratings, 7% against 18%
