I Test Bedding for a Living, and This Side-Sleeper Pillow Is the One I Recommend to Everyone (It’s 15% Off!)

Over the years I’ve tested a lot of bedding, from comforters and mattresses to sheets and, of course, pillows. For me, pillows have always been the category I’m most excited about testing because, for the longest time, I couldn’t find the right one for me — something I’m sure other side sleepers can relate to. Luckily, that all changed last summer when I tried Coop Sleep Goods’ Cool+ Cut-Out Adjustable Pillow. 

With this pillow, I finally found the “Goldilocks” of side-sleeper pillows: one that’s contoured, cooling, and, most importantly, adjustable. Since then, I’ve gone on to recommend this find to many, with a great response in return. That being said, if you’re considering upgrading your pillow, you’re in luck because now through 3/9, AT shoppers can save an exclusive 15% when they use the code COOP-AT15 at checkout making now a great time to add it to your sleep routine.

So, why do I (and so many others) love this pillow? Created with hot side-sleepers in mind, this Coop Sleep find is equipped with tons of cooling features, including a cool-touch cover and heat-wicking inner liner; a ventilated phase change gel memory foam layer that transfers heat away from the body; and an Oomph™ Cool+ fill that’s breathable and removable for easy height personalization.

But while the cooling factor is definitely something I couldn’t live without, it’s the shape that really sold it for me. While it may look like other curved side sleeper pillows, this one actually has a cut-out shape as opposed to the typical crescent. This unique design helps properly cradle your neck without creating the gap others can, which gives you more surface space to rest your head (and neck!) for pain-free sleep. 

Average Rating: 4.3/5 

“I couldn’t believe how wonderful this pillow was. Woke up the first morning [and] bounced right out of bed. And if you like your head cool while you’re sleeping, wow, the ultra cool plus is incredible.” —Daniel D. 

“This pillow is so comfortable! I love that the thickness is customizable. It stays noticeably cooler than other pillows I own — even others that claim to be cooling.” —Katlyn G. 

“This product has just the right density and plushness for a side sleeper; it keeps me comfortable all night long.” —Brandi

The Cool+ Cut-Out Adjustable Pillow comes in both queen and king sizes, which makes it a pick that’ll be fit for any sleep setup. While this pillow is definitely an investment, I think we can all agree that investing in your sleep is worthwhile — and if you can save a bit while you’re at it, what’s to lose?
