You should have done the purple harmony pillow.
It's way lighter and it's sincerely the most comfortable pillow you will ever use. Just have to get the right height and it's flawless.
I had a tempurpedic pillow in elementary school. I was eventually BANNED from all sleep over pillow fights because it was, indeed, like getting hit by a cutting board.
Menace 😂
You can’t be suffocated by it, but you could get beat to death.
Went camping at a REALY bad time with this pillow. It was may, and the temperature went down to 50 and we got hail. For some reason my moms tent was the only tent that got tiny little icicles. It was cold, vut we survived. Anyways, let me tell you that falling my head onto that thing like you would with a regular pillow was a mistake. It became a rock.
@@bigboomer1013 hail and icicles at 50 degrees?
@@taylorswiftsucks might be measuring in kelvin lmao
From the title, I expected this to be a video exposing the scandals and shady dealings of pillow corporations but instead I got a very pleasant pillow-testing video
Same
oh good i was not the only one
welcome to the clickbaited club xD
You know what, so did I, and I didn't even realize what had happened till I read this comment because I was so invested
Me too!
as a side sleeper, i have had a purple pillow for about three years and i will never go back. if you put a regular pillow underneath it, the square shape perfectly fits that 90 degree angle of your neck and shoulder! also the pillow being so cold feeling is actually very beneficial to sleep. colder temperatures facilitate more melatonin production and help to get you into deep sleep!
Thank you for this! I'm a side sleeper looking for a pillow that won't cause me neck pain
I have the purple pillow harmony in both sizes and while I have enjoyed the regular for a year, it’s better for back sleeping. I need more support for my neck and shoulders and the larger size is a bit too large for me. Currently testing out the pillow cube deluxe as I’m predominantly a side sleeper. Their leg pillow is great so far!
can i ask which purple pillow? apparently they have a ton
Only down to about 67* then it starts to have a negative effect if it gets colder.
@@sigasaurusrexthe one he's using in this video is the original purple pillow. On the website, it just says "Purple Pillow". Holy crap, he did this video 11 months ago and he paid $134. I just looked on the site, it's $249! I bought mine about 4 years ago and it was $99 which I thought was a lot.. BUT it could last you the rest of your life (if you love it).
I'm here to confirm: The Coop is the best pillow I've ever used, it's more comfortable than I even thought pillows could be. I bought it after watching this video. My first night with it I slept for 10 hours straight. Every night since then for weeks I've slept completely through the night, which almost never happened with my old pillows.
I'm thinking of getting that one. I had full spine reconstruction surgery and didn't realize how much of a chore finding the right pillow would be
@@jacobturner1490i got one after watching this vid and i love it. i got mine brand new on ebay for like $35. just gotta find the right seller
Literally came here to confirm. just got the Coop after watching this video, last night was the most blissful sleeping experience I've had since I was a child. I literally didn't know that pillows could be this comfortable. I will NEVER buy a cheap pillow again, my entire perspective has changed
Did you get the coop original or eden?
@@andrewb.2202 Same one as in the video, I think that’s original
Me seeing a 44 minute video from a creator I've never seen before talking about pillows.
My first reaction: dang, I need to watch this right now
exact thing i did
Me seeing a 44 minute video from my favorite commentary channel:
Scott’s been my favorite for a long time, simply because of the vibes. He’s just chill, never truly coming at anyone and just hanging out.
Me, right now. 😅
Likewise!
Good choice.
Imagine growing up and learning that when you were only a few weeks old one day while you were napping your mom and dad were standing next to you testing pillows for pillow fight-ability
That would be a great story
And home defense. Can't forget that.
This was really weird to read with no context.
That actually sounds like me and my husband. We literally wrestled over an agreement that he could touch my stomach (it tickles and also makes me self-conscious) for about 20 minutes.
We’d been winding down for bed, he had to get up in like six hours for work, but no, a wrestle was necessary, and so for almost half an hour, the war was waged. We looked up to a tiny mew and my cat was VERY concerned. 😂
He’s going to teach small children, and I’m going to be a social worker. And then parents. May not be a great idea, but hey, it’ll be an adventure. 🙃
Me realizing they had a kid by watching this video 😮🎉
my favorite pillow was a minecraft pillow i got from a booth at an anime convention. it was comfortable, soft, breathable, and fit into a hammock perfectly. i only ever slept on it when i was homeless and i lived in my car, inside of which i strung up a hammock to sleep in. it has sentimental value, but was also genuinely the best pillow i ever had. 10/10 to me
That is a genius idea for car sleeping omg. Hammock for the win.
Happy you aren't homeless anymore! :)
I've worked in the sleep industry since I was 16. The biggest thing overlooked with pillows is keeping them clean, use a pillow protector and change your pillow case every week or so. If you battle with acne or other skin/hair conditions, keeping a surface you spend 1/3 of your time resting your head on will greatly help and just make you feel better!! Depends on your width but you want a thinner or softer pillow if you're a back/stomach sleeper and a thicker or firmer pillow if you're a side sleeper.
This isn't stupid, this is hard hitting journalism
Honestly pretty valuable journalism these days 😂 with all these companies advertising the last time I bought a mattress it was like playing darts with a blindfold on
Hard hitting? pillows are supposed to be soft.
@@Roescoe Well you say that.... but this murder weapon masquerading as a pillow would like to have a chat.... *slams a 10 pound purple gel mat into your face*
as hard hitting as that tempurpedic pillow?
Naw this is as soft as it gets
I like how Scott uses a projector instead of a green screen. It makes me feel like I'm watching a teacher having a slight mental breakdown.
I'm your 100th like
@@Scarfysmom good job Rebecca! I, for one, am proud of you lol

@@joan8326second comment I found that isn’t a parabola
Thank you for this comment
Between the "Big Deck Energy" longsleeve, and the baby stuff in the back, this video emanates DANGEROUS levels of dad energy. I love it.
I learned when I bought my Purple pillow that the Purple inner material was invented to make it less painful and less dangerous for burn victims to sleep. It actively cools the skin and doesn't stick to wounds. The price might reflect in Purple's commitment to burn rehab
Oh damn, that's cool as fuck.
Let me remember this next time my eczema goes full nuclear
That’s really interesting, thanks for the insight
Do you like yours too, and wich one did you buy?
@@tristanvliet My partner and I both got the Harmony variety, and we can't rave about it enough. I will say that if you already tend to be chilly at night, this pillow is so cooling it might actually make the cold worse!
Watching a grown man suffocate himself with multiple brands of pillows is oddly not the weirdest thing I have seen today.

@@geraltofbolivia9428 gotta respect the confidence
I asked for a pillow for my birthday one year, and my mom got me the coop pillow. I’ve had this pillow for years, and it continues to be my favorite pillow.
as a recent purple pillow owner and lover (I live in a very hot climate), I can attest that for pillow fight applications, it's like bringing a missile launcher to a knife fight. I would never bring it on a flight, but for road trips, it's so darn good I'd be willing to proudly lug the 10 ton weight around. also, one of my roommates recently got the coop which I had also considered and we swapped for a few nights, after which we both felt validated with our choices
I live in a very hot climate too, so should I get purple pillow or coop?
I like how half the tests are based around some kind of home invasion situation and not actually sleeping 😂
You have to be prepared
The purple pillow won both of those rounds, and he wonders why it's so expensive. It's saving your life, dude!
Well, I guess you can sleep better knowing that it's really difficult for someone to smother you with your pillow. Except that they would probably have a weapon or something. Damn.
I love the idea that when any guests are staying at your house you can take them to the pillow closet and they can pick out any kind of pillow they’d like.
I have a coworker who does exactly this. It’s delightful after a night out.
It's a good use for all of the leftover pillows that you've had to abandon, in the pursuit of your personal favorite pillow. Like, don't feel bad about buying pillows to try, you can keep them for guests.
That's an excellent idea.
The perfect excuse for one's shopping addiction. Quite useful
So, I had a Tempur-pedic pillow for years, and liked it pretty fine. Had some MyPillows, they were fine. but recently I got the Purple Harmony pillow, which is an outside layer of the purple latex whatever stuff, with a memory foam inside. It's like laying on a supportive cloud. It's really amazing.
Man I've been looking at that pillow recently and it's hard to take the plunge at that price, but I'm starting to hate my mypillow more and more over time because it just flattens out while I'm asleep. I can form it to the shape I want as they say, but it doesn't actually _hold_ that shape through the night. I just wake up with my head sunk to the bottom. All the little inside bits ditch me and run away to the sides while I'm not looking.
It's too thick for me. I use that one between my legs and use my original purple pillow for my head.
@@niclastname cannot recommend the purple harmony enough. I got it at a discount when I purchased a purple mattress a few years back and I'll never regret it. It's the best pillow. Because of my arthritis, I overheat in my sleep. It's COLD and it does not retain heat the way other medical pillows do, and it 100% retains its shape. Best of all the pillow worlds tbh. I don't know about the original purple, but the harmony gets an A+ from me and my pain issues. I dont have 0 pain using it, but it's certainly less and the purple brand has absolutely upped my sleep quality after switching.
@@Blue-dv1xc I have the original, and I love it. I'd been getting a lot of neck problems, bad neck problems, as my old pillow had deteriorated a bit I think from time. Memory foam does eventually break down. I tried a couple of pillows, and nothing was helping. The Purple pillow was the one that came in clutch. It's expensive, but I think the gel stuff is going to last longer than memory foam does, and it won't get clumps like fiber fill can. Not having to do the whole thing of researching finding, buying, testing, and returning pillows again for a long time (or ever) is worth a lot to me. In general I've started trying to pay more for things I think will last, not for environmental or economical reasons so much, but just so I don't have to do it again for a long time.
I love that he didn’t have a month to spare to get that last pillow but then proceeded to sleep through twice through most pillows and 12 times for the coop. 😂😂😂
As a self-certified expert on pillows I'd have to say that the best pillow is actually the limp and lifeless one I've been sleeping on since I was a child.

Did it
So sad...they haven't woken up yet
Did you like it??
@@tomastaztheir alarm hasn’t woke them up yet
Update
The moment you said that the Tempur Pedic was "Clinical", you hit the nail right on the head. It's a pillow with a purpose, and for the right people, it really is life changing.
Yes i use it, it has made everything so much better for my life lol.
I use one just like it, it’s the most comfortable for me
I just watched a 44-minute-long video of someone testing pillows, despite having no intention of purchasing a new pillow for myself, yet I don’t regret it at all.
I had no intention either but now I want too
@@tristanvliet same. The coop is tempting me now.
Same, i love this guy
Well you see, this is a life message that y'know, your current pillow, might be a bit of a trash heap, a dumpster fire, that you should, y'know, replace it
Same, I just got a new pillow. But, one day in the future, I will get a Coop.
I actually have both the OG purple pillow and the newer purple harmony pillow and I love them both, especially the OG. I'm a hot sleeper, so the OG actually keeps me decently cool even during the summer months (Chicagoan here 😐) while also feeling really supportive for side sleeping. The harmony is a surprising one because it sort of feels like a normal pillow with a special cooling case on it, but it has some surprising bounce back once you get your head on it and really supports you while also feeling adjustable/cuddlable.
I am so glad I stumbled across this video. We don't realize how important a really good pillow is until we get older and have lived through injury and just the effects of aging. I am 46 years old and roughly 14 years ago I was hit by a drunk driver who nearly killed me one afternoon while driving home from playing golf all day and apparently taking a shot for every hole on the golf course. I was life flighted to the nearest trauma hospital and woke up with a broken C2 and C7 vertebrae along with numerous other injuries. I was lucky to be alive and lucky to even be able to eventually walk out of the hospital. The pain I've had to manage in the years following has really helped me to see how important it is to invest in a very high-quality pillow! You want to take good care of yourself any way you can and since we spend a large portion of our lives in bed sleeping you definitely want to have the best pillow possible.
Sorry, I just went full mom in the comments section but just in case someone is missing their mom and she isn't around for some good advice... I got you!
I love how you put these pillows to the test. I was considering getting one of the top 3 you tested since my old pillow is due to be replaced soon so I am glad to know that your general consensus is roughly what I've been hearing from others as well.
Thanks for putting in the work to sift out the bad from the good so we don't have to! Sweet dreams.
Finally! I’ve found someone else who bases their pillow opinions on home intrusion!
This video absolutely inspired me to get a new pillow until we got to the prices, and suddenly it’s not so urgent
I had the same reaction lmao
You can buy a lot of these styles in a knock off version for a lot cheaper. I know Target sells memory foam chunk style pillows like the MyPillow for way cheaper plus it's not giving money to someone who wanted to invoke martial law to overturn democracy!
Same here.
Once I heard that you should get a new pillow every, like, 3 months. Which is insane.

Thanks to this video, I decided to splurge and buy a Coop. OMG it's amazing. Seriously the best pillow I've ever had. These companies really should be giving you $$$ for advertising them like this, because before this video, I'd never even heard of Coop.
I just watched a 44 minute long video of a grown man weirdly testing pillows. While having literally none, (and I mean zero) intentions to buy a new pillow and yet I very much enjoyed those 44 minutes of life watching this video
In contrast i watched this at work and this convinced me to start shopping for pillows and do research on what is supposed to be ideal for my shape and size xD i also enjoyed these 44 minutes.
Same, except now I want a new pillow lol

Same. I started the video with no intentions to buy one, I ended up bookmarking the Coop pillow and most likely about to buy it by the end of the night lol.
@@Dillon69 pillow
we say $70 is a lot for a pillow, but sometimes you gotta take a minute to realise that sleeping is a 3rd of your life, and its really something that you should make as enjoyable as possible. Without good sleep time, you cant have optimal awake time.
People won't blink to spend $800 on an electronic device they use ⅓ of their life for 2 years but balk at $70 for something that they will spend just as much time with. Ridiculous.
$70 is a lot for most things
Lol call me cheap I thought 30 was alot to spend on a pillow
u can also go all out cheapskate and never buy a pillow. and sleep without one.
now me? i don't really have a choice. a pillow will wake me up if i use one. and will experience neck pain afterwards
Yeah, it seems like a weirdly low-tech product that should just be cheap.. but actually it's super important and doesn't get enough attention cause most people forget they hate their sleep as soon as they walk out of their bedroom.
This video has single-handedly convinced me to go buy a 70 dollar pillow to replace my 5 dollar ones
Your other tests were actually still pretty useful. I have an environment where some noises occur absurdly early (read: untrainable dog), so I smother myself to blot out the sounds. Useful to know which ones are breathable.
The pillow fight test might need to be a bit more exhaustive; if you have kids that start a pillow fight, you'd probably want to make sure there's no loss in quality.
I am fully convinced that Scott simply does not miss and cannot post a bad video
This was literally the first video I watched after waking up and thinking I need a new pillow. The man just doesn't miss!
@@flatoutlikemcrae2020 bro same wtf

I actually have been trying research in a new pillow better for my head or neck, and I also love this channel! I clicked so fast on this video the instant I saw it in my recommended today!!
AND using the My Favorite Pillow song from a 12 year old youtube video at the end? What a legend
I think we’ve reached the era of Scott using content to fill his house with essentials and I’m here for it😂
It’s so nice seeing such a wholesome comment section of people just talking about getting Cosy while drifting off and falling asleep and their way of doing it each night ❤
I travel a lot. The idea of getting to keep your pillow is so appealing but there’s just so many downsides.
Most pillows will make up either a huge part of your 50lb limit on a checked bag or fill up so much volume you can’t fit other stuff.
The smallest and lightest pillows are usually worse than what’s at the hotel.
There’s a risk you’ll bring bed bugs in the pillow.
Overall you’re better off making sure you’ve got some good internetless entertainment since hotel Wi-Fi is usually terrible especially at peak times, and bringing some tasty healthy food so you don’t have to go out to eat for every meal.
I love how the Tempurpedic one was so mid and confusing for almost the entire thing, then in the sleep portion it was just. The best, most still sleep he got.
as someone who used to have a nearly identical pillow (this pillow is probably 15 years old now, so I'd imagine the materials are slightly different) and it is such a weirdly specific pillow. for some sleep positions, it's the greatest thing ever made. for some, it's absolute hell
had to stop using it because my chronic pain makes me roll around in my sleep, and it is not a pillow built for that unfortunately
3:14 The way to tell that Scott's a dad now isn't all the baby stuff, but his fantastic shirt choice
Had there been confirmation? I’ve been searching I’ve suspected since Halloween! Just tell us if you have a baby Scott!

And “did a bomb go off down here!”
And the massive bags under his eyes and sleepless stare hahaha Love you Scott! Hang in there!!
@@stickybunz7559 he reveals it at the end of his last video !!
The pillow cube you definitely have to make sure you buy the right size. I have the Pillow Cube Cross-Sleeper which allows for side and back sleeping and it was life changing for me.
I only sleep on my sides and the traditional pillow cube is awesome! I've had it nearly a year and I don't wake up with neck/shoulder pain anymore!
‘…preferably your mom’ and proceeds has me fucking CRYING bro hahahha
For the Purple pillow, also factor in that it will outlast all those other ones by years while losing little, if any, of its original shape and comfort.
No dust mites or mildew, makes it perfect as a guest pillow that's sitting around for years waiting for its owner to make friends with people that want to sleep over.
It's also the only one that you can take a garden hose to if the need ever arises...

Fun fact, most memory foam pillows do not mix with cold weather well, absolutely do not bring one if you are camping in the cold, it will turn into a solid rock 😂
That should have been a test. For those that live in winter climates. Freeze them and see which one works. I wonder how the purple turns out and this guys favorite coop pillow.
I used to chuck my memory foam pillow into the freezer because of that. They hold the cold rather well.

But DO bring one to a pillow fight if you like easy wins. Was always my secret weapon growing up, might’ve given some friends concussion

I love my Purple pillow. I bought the king size, and I was shocked at thr size of the box it came in. 😂 Thr review that sold it for me was how the reviewer said it felt as if her head was floating. As someone who suffers from migraines that sold it for me. It's the weirdest, coolest material. Very bouncy, yet firm, and it does feel as if my head is floating. 😂😊
as a back/side sleeper, the temper-pedic pillow is a game changer!! just make sure you measure yourself and follow their size guide so you get the right size.

I’ve had one for years and it’s a great pillow for those nights when your neck feels uneven and you desperately need something to ease the pain
I got the off brand target one and it’s good enough
@@amandaleebee98 😂😭💀🤷♂
@@MrJeanGuruno, it really is. I got a different off brand version for 15 bucks before even knowing the TempurPedic version existed, and it's improved my sleep in a shockingly noticable way. I wouldn't even consider buying a TempurPedic version that's literally 9 times more expensive when the special part is the shape of the foam. There's no way that cost TP more than 5 dollars to manufacture.
I tried the Tempurpedic style pillow some ten years ago and never went back to normal pillows, other than still having one normal plump and firm one between my knees and hugging a good quality feather pillow. Of course I still can sleep on a normal pillow but I very much prefer the Tempurpedic style. And it doesn't look embarrassing at all when you put a pillowcase on it. Also, in my country those cost only 25-ish euros, regular prices, not on sale.
I got a Coop pillow a few years ago at the advice of the bloggers you mentioned, and it is honestly one of the best purchases I have ever made in my life. They deflate after a few weeks, but you just fluff them up and they're as good as brand new. Honestly amazing whatever they did to create the perfect pillow.
Have you fluffed it up in the dryer? I have a coop eden pillow. I fluff it in the dryer ever couple months. I even washed the whole pillow. I dried it in the dryer for basically hours. And it still wasn't 100% dry for at least a week. I have their waterproof pillow protector in addition to the cover it comes in...
I just fluff mine up by hand, that usually does the trick. I've never considered washing it as it's unnecessary if you use a pillowcase. @@KattMurr

I personally use purple harmony pillow and appreciate this giving me a view of where other pillows would rank among it. Thanks! Personally, I really like the cool feeing even in the Wisconsin winter on the back of my neck.
Maybe it’s partly because I’m getting older and I care about things like pillow quality now, but Scott you had me GLUED for 44 straight minutes of pillow reviewing 😂
Same lol wasn’t expecting that 😂
As a kid I could use a rolled up hoodie as a pillow. If I did that today I think my walking days would be over.
I'm barely 21 and I was enthralled.
This is my first video on this channel and it got me subscribed, it's that good
17 and watched the whole thing without distraction lol
The idea of Scott having guest over and bringing in a huge stack of pillows for then to choose from is so funny
When his kid has a sleepover and a guest forgets their blanket they'll be given the pillow quilt.
Never did I ever think that I would be watching a grown man actively try to suffocate himself. For science!

Fun pillow knowledge for someone who sells some of these pillows and did wayyy to much training on this. Intellibed and purple used to work together, and they created the grid system together then went their separate ways (they're back together again!) Intelibed worked with the medical company Stryker for burn victims and patients with bed sores. The grid technology is a super unique material, and it's a love or hate feel. It's also made from food grade mineral oil, so it's safe to eat 😁
Pillow guidelines:
Lower height: back and stomach
Medium height: back and side
Tall height: side only pleaseeee
Pillow firmness is also a personal preference and same for if you prefer a foam pillow over a down/faux down pillow or a grid pillow.
Neck and upper back pain when you wake up is most likely from your pillow being too tall. If you're looking for a new pillow, look for one that keeps your spine in alignment in your sleep position.
Tempur also uses a proprietary material that reacts based on body temp and pressure points. That's why their pillows can feel doughy and a bit firmer at first. Memory foam remembers its original shape and will conform based off of weight and weight dispersion.
Please also keep in mind that different pillow types and thicknesses are super personalized for what position you sleep in and shoulder broadness :)
Happy sleeping everyone!
This is really cool. Thank you
I had a soft foam pillow I used my entire life until someone accidentally through it away. Since it was from the 70s and probably made with chemicals not legal today. I had to search for anything similar. I finally found the Talalay natural latex pillow. High loft and not from a cheap vendor. Then I added the silk pillowcase and wow! What a fantastic foamy pillow that stays cool and never looses shape. Def for ppl that like softness in a pillow.
You have any advice on body pillows?
Thank you so so much for this, I’m considering getting a purple pillow because my upper back and neck pain is really bad in the mornings from my minor scoliosis. I have a question if you don’t mind answering though! I’ve noticed with a lot of pillows I use I gravitate towards the flatter ones but I hate the ones that are so flat you’re basically just on the pillowcase lol. I saw you said that the shorter height should be for back and stomach sleepers, but I tend to only sleep on my back and sometimes my side, do you think the shorter height would still be ideal for me if I tend to like shorter pillows? or should I get a medium size in case it’s too short? I do sometimes use two pillows and then switch back to one pillow so I’m just very torn between the two 😂
Is it healthy to use multiple pillows or should I only be using one
The fact he slams each pillow on his face during the ‘breathability’ test is such a hard core commitment and makes it more genuine.
Yeah, my thought when he did the Purple pillow I thought, you won’t get smothered, but you might get beat to death by it.

@@doimanator9999 lmao no i only got decorative pillows i shove to the side when i sleep
I've tried so many and personally found the contoured neck style ones to work best for me. I was super skeptical at first, but man it surprised me just how supportive and comfortable they were. No idea what brand mine is, but I love it.
The suffocation test was hilarious, but also useful for people who sleep face-down.
I thought the same thing!
I hope you mean stomach sleepers because-
People sleep face down?
@@Lil_Ducky97 yes, me
@@G00dTaste Well, some stomach sleepers move their heads to the side, so face-down stomach sleepers.
If Scott gets that affiliate link with coop I’ll dish out $75 for a new pillow 🙌🏼
Genuinely 👀
Seconded.
Oh yeah
ive been using the temprapedic pillow for ever. they do get softer over time. I've been using the same pillow for maybe... a little more than a decade. they last for a while if you take care of them.
This just came into my feed 7 months after it posted on the day I was thinking I need new pillows soon. So oddly, thank you? This was amazingly helpful!
My grandma found a purple pillow at thrift store for like $10. She bought it but kept in the couch so her dogs could lay on I saw it one day and when i told her how much it originally cost she gave it to me. Been using it every night for 3 years
Does it smell like dog? That's kinda gross.
@@XxMadvirusxX not at all, she had it in a pillow case and I washed that white sleeve the purple stuff goes into twice before I used it and I also use a pillowcase on it
@NotThatTerrible Aww that's great, I wish I had a deal like that. Sorry for assuming you were pig. Hope your day goes amazing! 💛
@@XxMadvirusxXyou can literally just hose the pillow down and let it air dry.
Does it release dust when you lay on it? I don't want to breathe that in.
When the coop pillow came up in the middle of the pricing I was so relieved I was like I am NOT spending 100+ on a single pillow 😭
I got the purple pillow (back when it was priced at $100 before discount) and I can say it is so worth it. 3 years i have not replaced that pillow yet, I can easily see it going another 5. I hope the Coop is that way as well It looks nice.
What is your health worth to you?
@@edensmith3747 dude stop. It's completely safe and harmless.
@@CallMeMatt0 lol wtf are you on about?
@Chance Allen buying a better pillow can increase quality of life and your health.
Thank you so much for this video. You are a riot. I love the way you make these videos! You tested out three of the pillows I will I’ve been looking at and helped me make a decision! TY!
Make the video again with exclusively IKEA pillows! They have a great selection of pillows with the majority being under $50 and I’m extremely curious as to which ones are the best.
I had a memory foam one similar to the temper pedic and that thing was a dang BRICK😂 Pillow fights with siblings resulted in actual fights due to damage inflicted😂
Just a quick PSA for the Tempurpedic and Coop pillows coming from someone that's had both for years - the Tempurpedic pillow with its curve sat weirdly on my jaw and after a while of sleeping on it gave me horrific tinnitus that I had to see an ENT for and have physical therapy, so make sure you're using it correctly! As for the coop pillow, it was AMAZING in the first year of owning it, but degrades pretty heavily after that, the foam bits will clump into one big mass, to which you'll have to open the pillow to stir it up. At first It only needed to be done every couple of weeks, but eventually got to the point that I have to do the foam stirring thing any time I want to use the pillow. This could possibly be remedied by buying and replacing the foam, but I haven't tried it because it's not cheap. That being said, the coop pillow is still the best one on the market that I've found so far.
@holding on only to let go keep in mind that they do have a five year warranty
@@randomfactsthatdontmatter3466 Modern warranties are mostly worthless, and often difficult to claim. Clumping foam would absolutely not fall under their warranty, and they'd just as easily counter with the typical 'improper use and/or care' claim that companies quite often love to use to deny warranties.
@@xaytana true enough. I've had to "fake" at least like 25% of my warranty situations. Not sure if that's the right way to put it but you get thr gist. Although I'm not sure what the warranty would even cover for pillows aside from pillows not being that great anymore. It's not like a stove or something that can have a burner go out.
This is a nice follow up review, thanks for this
doesnt the foam only cost 10-20 dollars?
I’ve had the coop pillow for over two years and it absolutely holds up. The only thing is every once in awhile I take out the filling and repack it because the little pieces can get stuck together and make it clumpy. But then it’s like new again. Also definitely recommend playing around with adding or taking out the extra filling to get the perfect comfort level for you, once I found mine it never needed to be adjusted again and I refuse to ever use a different pillow.
Also for fellow extra sensitive smell/allergy folks, let the pillow air out for 3-5 days once it arrives and wash the outer pillow case and you’ll be good to go. That second quilted layer to the pillow adds a softness under a pillow case that’s just a great little extra touch of comfort.
I've had memory-type pillows that the manufacturer recommended tossing in the dryer on no-heat to refluff them. Also a good, easy option.
i have the coop too and i fucking love it. so glad scott appreciated the hype as well
I have the coop too but I'm kinda disappointed in it. I put all the stuffing in it and my head still sinks and I have to put my arm under it to prop it up. At the same time I don't like firm pillows so that's not it either. I don't get how come so many people are raving about it.
I've had my coop for like 3 years now and tried to replace it but I just went back to it lol. It's genuinely a really good pillow.
Back when I got my purple pillow it was only going for $100, but I also got it for free from a promotion. But honestly my favorite ever pillow.
I got the purple pillow as a gift years ago and its still easily my favorite pillow Ive had, love the fact it keeps my head/face cool especially as I am a side sleeper
I put this video on the TV as I did my lady's hair this morning. By the end, she's like "You want to buy those Coop ones? We need new pillows and I trust this man I've never heard of." Thanks for your scientific research.
Yo if y'all do get them, let us know how it is 😌
I've never seen a video by this dude in my life.. yet I've sat through the entire thing.
Thank you youtube algorithm
Same
Same. Wtf
Yep! 😂
His videos are fantastic! He did a whole toilet paper video too 😅
I was worried because I've used the Tempurpedic for years and thought you'd hate it based on the beginning of the video so I wouldn't be able to use any info from this video to potentially find a new pillow but since you ended up getting good sleep on it I can safely assume that the pillows that you said were better will be better for me. Thanks, I'll probably be picking up a Coop.
I still got my purple pillow 4 years later and I’m never looking back. I completely forgot that traditional pillows get hard and need fluffing to remain comfortable. Best fifty bucks I ever spent.
I like that you're hinting at being a dad but not making your child content. Mad respect
In the background he has a child play toy sooo
@@fantazemik he also straight up revealed he has a kid in his last video right at the end, it's not exactly a secret
I've never been a sports fan, but watching you review my beloved Coop pillow evoked in me a sense of competitiveness that I have never known. Seeing it do so well must be what football fans feel watching their team in the Superbowl. GO COOPS!!
Also, for those curious, I've had my coop for three years and it's still excellent. I haven't even needed to add the extra foam yet, so $72 is worth it, especially considering how it solved my neck pain!
I couldn't agree more. I've have mine for over a year and absolutely love it.
I find it funny that I just found this now, when it was shot a year ago, I was in recovery from cervical-spine surgery. I had tried like 4-5 pillows pre surgery, and the tempurpedic one helped the most.
Ex-inlaws bought me the 'my pillow' - worst. pillow. ever.
For the last seven years or so I have had two pillows on my bed. One is the coop and the other is the purple pillow! Love them both, but never use the purple pillow before an important morning event. Sometimes you can wake up with little patterns on your face even with a pillowcase. But it’s kind of my favorite pillow.
Just wanted to let you know this was NOT a waste of time. I have horrific neck/back problems and I've been experiementing with pillows for the past decade. I'd never heard of the Coop, but it gets here Wednesday. 🤟They should have sponsored you!
How did it go
@@datboi8140 it was extremely comfortable but unfortunately also extremely warm. I'm a warm sleeper and anything that warms me up more I can't handle. I wish they had a "cool" version.
@GarrettBridges thanks for getting back to me. I was already leaning towards the purple pillow and that sealed the deal for me. Thanks brother 🙏🏻
@@datboi8140 glad I could help! Let me know how the Purple is, I've been super curious!
@@GarrettBridges They do seem to have a cool version, the Coop Eden + Cool. It is about double the price though.
I cannot understate how hard I laughed at the ‘breathability’ test XDD
That part was funny. I'll give him that.
Lol just in case someone tries to mug you at night while you’re sleeping 😂
I don't think it's that accurate, as he was holding the pillow by the sides, while I think someone trying to kill you would be pushing in the middle, which would push down your nose, possible breaking it, and ofc getting the pillow inside your mouth
Yeah, that’s less breathable more lethality..
Absolutely devastated that he didn't have his partner actually try to smother him.
Many months later and seriously, this pillow review was insanely useful. I bought the Coop pillow based on your ratings and it's literally the best pillow I've ever used. I absolutely adore how customizable it is, it has an awesome pouch, everything is washable, and its supppper comfy
Maybe when my current old generic pillows finally give up the ghost I'll take a look at the purple pillow. Honestly though, they're perfectly comfortable, and the purple costing as much as the shop•vac I just had to buy is slightly eye popping
Give up the ghost 😂 Sauber
you know you're not a kid anymore when they say 'pillow fight' while standing in front of a well decorated christmas tree and you get nervous.
Guess I’m still a kid
well yeah, i dont want to get in trouble with mom
Or just paranoid, lol. Not like they were gonna go swinging wildly.
Especially the purple pillow. 😬 I was more concerned with the tree taking damage. Lol
I own the Purple pillow and i can confirm that it is absolutely devastating in pillow fights
how many kills you got?
Being an adult is realizing you could probably commit some severe brain damage to someone by socking them with your heavy duty pillow 😅
@@zskull162 5 so far
Do you just swing downward like a steel chair in wrestling during the 90s?
Shit weighs heavier than my fuckin 60 lbs dog lmfao - lethal
2:57 This caught me off guard
Same lol
You need pillow cases to properly evaluate pillow fight performance. Nobody grips the pillow itself in the heat of combat.
As a proud Purple owner- it's great. Comfortable, breathable, and you can fight a bear with it. Fellas, there are so many codes to knock that list price down. Do it for yourself.
I've been thinking about getting one for about 3 years. But my current set up is fine so I've never switched. If I can get it below $90 I will do it for sure. How much did you pay, if you don't mind my asking.
@@fire_fux I paid around $90. There are all kinds of codes out there for Purple products tho so be on the lookout
@@dodecahippo6378 for sure, thanks!
i just don't want it to feel like i'm sleeping on a room temp corpse. the thing feels like flesh
The neutral temperature of the pillow is by far its best feature. I sleep hot, and not needing to flip the pillow in the middle of the night or waking up to a sweat-soggy pillow is a big deal. And memory foam pillows with cooling effects go the wrong way as the materials to dissipate heat makes them too cool to sleep on.
As for the “feels like flesh”, never felt that, but then you’re not supposed to be sleeping on it without the cover or case, so would just be feeling the case material anyways. The texture of the grid I stopped noticing after three days.
For me the Purple is perfect. The temperature, the support, the responsiveness (no need to wait for the pillow to adjust if you move)… when I decided to upgrade from the cheapest pillows you can get at Walmart to try to upgrade something I spend a third of my life on, I went through a half dozen options before biting the bullet on the cost, and it was worth it. Though I will note that it isn’t a good cuddle pillow as Scott mentioned, and too floppy for sitting up in your bed. I just use a cheap pillow for those purposes.
I found a brand new, still rolled up Purple Pillow at Goodwill for $19.99. I was suffering from a pinched nerve in my neck for weeks because my bed was on its last legs and money was too tight at the time for me to do anything about it. I brought that pillow home and within 2 days, neck pain, gone.
I was so impressed that I looked into buying the bed. I found a returned model for half the price. I'm a bargain hunter, aint no shame.
That bed...I sleep so well. But I will warn you all. If you ever need to move that bed or make your bed, it sucks doing it yourself. You break a sweat.
I will also note that the pillow is so heavy it sometimes slips down the head of the bed. I should probably put a spacer or something back there.
I've slept on my Purple bed for 3+ years and had that pillow for at least 5 years at this point. Nothing but good things to say about both...except...the full retial price. Yowza.
Oh, and I haven't had a visit from my sleep paralysis demon in quite a while. There must be some magic spell cast on the pillow to ward it off.
Its the purple in it duhh purple is the wizard colour so when you sleep the wizards come and ward off the demons duhhhhhh
@@georgenoodles1387 lol! Of course! Why did I never think of that.
@@ICanCreateThatsleep paralysis is common when you aren't getting good sleep, it is good you don't get it often or at all anymore! When you get too comfy the demon gets jealous and scurries away
@@kasarina5880I don't really get the BEST sleep just.. ok. But I've never had sleep paralysis and not wanting to get it, since I have a fear of ghosts
I use the pillow cube (bigger full size for a bed) and honestly I love it so much, it changed my life. I’m a side sleeper and I love all the extra depth added to it, I sleep with another pillow underneath because I love stacking pillows lol. But I’ll never go back, I love that thing so much
I have the long one too with the cooling it’s great
The purple pillow was made with some of the same materials tested in wheelchair cushions, built for comfort and made to last. But not cheap.
As someone with neck problems, the tempur-pedic pillow helped a lot. I have a pinched nerve, and it's made things much better. They're really for a specific purpose.
I use one too. And yeah it’s not really a general use
He mentions that around the 38-39 minute mark
I have neck pain and for me, it can be severe neck pain. For a long time in my life, it was almost daily an I found the TempurPedic didn't help me. I have gone through so many different pillows including trying the Pluto and I have now finally found a brand that works for me.
@@NintendoNerdKim Ay well i'm happy for you dude, sorry to hear about that though
@@NintendoNerdKim what was the brand that worked for you? pluto or something else?
Imagine a home intruder tries to suffocate Scott and he ends up analyzing the pillow like "Oh, tastes a little like rubber... hold on a second.. yeah no I can still breath.. it's harder than with the purple pillow for sure, but I'll survive this for a while!"
ABSOLUTELY NOT A WASTE OF TIME! Thank you so much! I really appreciate a normal person's opinion on these. Thank you for saving me from wasting my money! Sleep is so important! This video is very valuable.
