There’s no time better than the present to upgrade your bedding, especially when you can level up on a budget! The Pillow, an editor-favorite pillow by Marlow (Brooklinen’s sister brand), caters to sleepers of all natures, and it just happens to be on major sale right now. We love its innovative design, with a customizable feature that’s built right into the stitching. Whether you love a firm pillow or one that’s plush and squeezable, The Pillow gives you the best of both worlds in a single cushion.

The Marlow Pillow arrives rolled like a tube, and part of the fun is simply opening it, giving it a fluff, and allowing it to naturally settle. After it has some time and room to breathe, the pillow puffs up and is ready to use! It’s a gorgeous, green-lined piece with a 100 percent cotton shell that’s thick enough to sleep on comfortably, whether or not you choose to use a cover. The firmness is determined by a special built-in feature that’s hidden in plain sight: zippers! There’s one zipper on each long side of the pillow. When it’s closed, the pillow stays firm, and as you unzip, it becomes softer. That means there’s no need to open up the pillow to refill it to increase its support and softness when you need it.

When I first tried The Pillow, my sleeping preference was keeping both sides unzipped for the ultimate softness. Now four months later, I keep the pillow zipped on one side and half-zipped on the other. It adjusts as your personal sleeping habits adjust, meaning you don’t have to buy a brand new pillow if your tastes suddenly change. The fill stays contained by a breathable mesh that also assists in regulating the temperature of the pillow. It stays cool, thanks to an 80/20 split of cooling memory foam and polyester fiber. On either side of the Marlow’s softness spectrum, my head and neck were supported throughout the night. No matter which way I turned in my sleep, I never felt the need to readjust the pillow for comfort.

Starting today through Feb. 23, you can save 25 percent when you purchase two or three pillows and 40 percent on four or more. The pillow comes in both standard and King sizes, and you can purchase them individually or as a set for a discounted price. Believe me when I say that you’ll want more than one!
