Utopia Bedding Memory Foam Pillow review

A perforated memory foam pillow in one standard size for $17.09, well under the solid-foam median, with a small buyer pool and no way to change its height.

Our verdict

Value nearly maxes out at 10.0: $17.09 buys a solid foam pillow when the class median is $29.99. Materials score 8 and care 8.

Fit range is the weak spot at 4, since there is one size and one fixed block of foam. The overall 6.2 is an early read from just 76 ratings and is not ranked.

Suits

  • Anyone who wants to try memory foam for $17.09
  • Standard-size beds and standard pillowcases
  • A guest bed or a dorm, where one pillow is enough

Think twice if

  • You need queen or king length: only standard is sold
  • You want a known loft: the product page gives none

Buyer ratings

What 76 buyers say

Buyers give the Memory Foam Pillow 4.1 out of 5 from 76 ratings. Adjusted for pool size, the Memory Foam Pillow averages 4.27, with 16% of its ratings at one or two stars.

Topics buyers raise most

  • Comfort15 mentions: 87% positive, 13% negative
  • Firmness10 mentions: 70% positive, 30% negative

Seventy-six ratings is a thin pool. Of those, 68% are five stars and one in ten is a single star, so a couple of new reviews could swing the average by close to a tenth of a star.

Topics are too sparse to lean on. Comfort comes up 15 times, 87% positive, firmness 10 times, 70% positive, and support 5 times, all positive. Nothing yet points to a pattern of complaints, and nothing yet rules one out.

Fill and feel

A single block of foam with airflow holes

Utopia uses one piece of perforated memory foam, holes punched through to let air move, and sells it as a cooling pillow on that basis. The bullets call the foam medium-firm and responsive. Side sleepers come first in the maker's list, with back and stomach sleepers covered too, but a fixed block cannot be thinned, so if you sleep face down, check the height when it arrives.

Size

Twenty-five by sixteen inches, standard only

At 25 by 16 inches, this pillow is smaller than a typical queen. It fits a standard pillowcase and will leave a queen case loose. No loft or weight is listed.

Care

Knit cover in the washer, foam by hand

The double-knitted polyester cover unzips and goes in the washer. Its foam core is spot clean only, then air dry completely, the maker says, to keep its shape.

Value and proof

Well under the solid-foam median

At $17.09, you pay well under the $33.99 median. The WEEKENDER Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Pillow costs $29.99 and scores 6.6 on a ranked pool, if you want a longer buyer record.

Utopia claims CertiPUR-US foam and OEKO-TEX fabric. The CertiPUR-US directory has no Utopia entry, though the foam may come from a supplier listed under another name, and the OEKO-TEX claim has no certificate number.
