Beckham Hotel Collection Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow review

A double-zippered shredded foam pair that 1,728 buyers rate 4.4 stars, sold as firm even though a third of the comments about softness disagree.

Our verdict

With 1,728 ratings behind it, the pair earns a well-settled buyer satisfaction score of 7.6. Materials and proof score only 4, because no foam certification could be confirmed, and the total settles at 7.2, 14th of 53.

Suits

  • Couples who want two pillows they can tune differently
  • People who wash covers often and never want to touch the foam
  • Hot sleepers who dislike cold-touch fabrics

Think twice if

  • You want the whole pillow to go in the washer
  • You need a certified foam fill

Comfort is the loudest topic by far, 323 mentions with 89% positive. Doubts sit lower down the list: 59% of the 37 buyers who mention flatness are negative, and a third of the 163 who talk about softness are unhappy with it. For a pillow sold as firm, that points to a share of buyers who found it softer or lower than expected.

Neck support is a strength at 88% positive across 83 mentions, and 94% of 62 sleep quality comments are positive. Seventy percent of ratings are five stars and 8% are one or two.

Fill and feel

Two zippers: one for the foam, one for the cotton

Beckham puts the shredded memory foam inside its own zippered inner case and wraps that in a cotton outer cover that zips off alone. That lets you wash the cover without handling the fill. To lower the pillow, open the inner case and take foam out. The maker's rule of thumb: side sleepers keep the most, back sleepers go medium, stomach sleepers remove the most.

Both faces are the same cotton. Beckham credits the cooling to air pockets in the shredded fill and states plainly that there is no cold-touch side to flip to.

Size and setup

20 by 30 inches and 6 inches thick, after a day

The product page lists 20 by 30 inches and a thickness of 6 inches. Out of the box, knead the foam and let the pillows air: the maker says they reach full loft within 24 hours.

Care

Cold wash for the cover, never for the foam

Machine wash the outer cover in cold water, then air dry it. Beckham says never to wash the shredded fill. Care and cover scores 5.

Value

Above the shredded-foam median per pillow

A queen pair costs $79.99, or $39.99 each, and a king pair $89.99, or $45.00 each. That puts you well above the $27.49 median for shredded memory foam. The SUPA MODERN Thin Stomach Sleeper Pillow scores 6.8 at $33.99, though it suits a much narrower group of sleepers, and the WEEKENDER Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Pillow scores 6.6 at $29.99.

Beckham offers 30 nights on direct purchases and says nothing about pillows bought through retailers.

Questions

Questions about the Beckham Hotel Collection Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow

Can you wash the Beckham Adjustable Memory Foam Pillow in the machine?

Only the outer cotton cover, in cold water, followed by air drying. The foam stays out of the washer.

Will the Beckham Adjustable pillow feel firm enough for you?

Full, the maker calls it firm. One in three buyers who comment on softness disagree, so keep all the fill in at first and remove it gradually. More adjustable pillows are ranked side by side in our roundup.
