I have a neck issue and have searched for years for the perfect pillow. I have one family member that gives me a TJmaxx/Ross gift cards every year just to try pillows. I tried so many sealy, serta, raplh lauren tommy etc then purple, intellgel, my pillow, etc.
The best pillow I found, which I have used for over 6 months which has to be a record for me, is the coop orginal pillow (not the new memory ones, the orginal with the cross cut) . Usally pillows flatten or have less support over time. This pillow is the same as the day I got it. The orginal go for $50 on ebay new which I thought was expensive since I worried it was too similar to the my pillow concept, but it has been the best pillow I have owned. Best pillow for my neck by far.
I have this casper pillow, I didnt like it, my husband thought it was okay, but it is dry clean only. I was very disappointed in their customer service. I went to look up if there was any way to clean these without dry cleaning and several posts by users said contact customer service. My husband paid $30 for the pillow, so I thought I would do an online chat and ask. The person came on all nice and then found out it was the essential pillow and got super rude and said just throw it out and buy a new one. They said I should have bought the expensive one and the essential pillows are now disposable. They called me cheap. My husband paid $30 which I don't think it that cheap for a pillow (and the CS had the record since they verfied my purchase via amazon).

Community Reviews

The Casper Essential Pillow comes across as a soft, plush standard pillow that can work well for side and back sleepers, with enough support to keep necks aligned and a feel that stays firmer longer than some cheap pillows. It is also described as a decent value at the $9 price, especially compared with the original Casper pillows. The main drawbacks are that it is dry clean only, has no removable cover, and can get lumpy or feel too thick for some sleepers. The outer shell is also reported to be loud and plastic like, so it is a better fit if you want a simple, affordable pillow and do not mind extra care.

  • side and back sleepers who want a standard, firm feel and don't mind fluffing/shaking the pillow nightly because commenters say it stays supportive as long as your mattress alignment is good and they still "love them" after trying many other pillows.

    Aim2Learn

  • people who like a soft, sink-in pillow and are okay with some maintenance because reviewers say it's soft and cozy, but it can get lumpy over time and needs regular fluffing/shaking like down-style comfort.

    robstak

  • buyers who want an affordable "cozy" pillow for the listed price because commenters call it soft/cozy with adequate neck support and say it's good value at around $9.

    fieldcar

  • shoppers who are willing to follow the height/insert guidance and adjust if needed because one commenter started with a low insert that was too low, then contacted Casper and received a medium insert that improved comfort.

    gg44

  • people with neck issues who need more than "general" support because commenters with neck problems rated it mediocre (about 5-6/10) and said it didn't provide the decent support they were looking for.

    sisterbear

  • anyone who wants a pillow they can easily clean at home because multiple commenters report it's dry-clean-only and that spot cleaning/attempts to clean it ruined the pillow after a stain.

    sisterbear

  • buyers who expect a removable cover for easier washing because commenters say this specific Essential pillow doesn't have a cover (and Casper replies also suggest it's dry clean only).

    sisterbear

  • people who are sensitive to noise from pillow materials because one buyer said the outer shell is loud/plastic-y and makes a bothersome noise.

    NCSU2008

  • shoppers who are still searching for a "perfect" pillow and want something more than basic comfort because one commenter said after trying it, it "wasn't anything special," even though they felt the price was okay.

Let us know if you find one
I ended up folding up a blanket and putting it in a pillow case. Firm but soft enough to scrunch up when I want it for side sleeping. It's ideal for me, really.

we have 4 of these. personally i LOVE them. my wife thinks they are mid.

they are soft and get lumpy over time much like down pillows without the heat and the stabbing in your face of the feathers.

i love pillows i sink into a bit.

mbdsmith, I was in the same boat as you. However, I have been happy with this one EVERY night for 2 years so far. https://purple.com/pillows/harmonyI highly recommend just getting the King size and getting the official pillow case as well. There is height preference. I'll be honest. I ended up getting low, medium and tall that year. Tall was for my wife while pregnant due to GERD. Medium was mine. I was deciding between small or medium. But medium was perfect for me. Some people like it flat but supportive that was "small"My toddler ended up using the small. And it kept his head space round growing up. This Black Friday I ended up splurging and buying my other kiddos the same pillow. Just to use for sleeping. Stays cool. Comfortable. Doesn't lose its shape overtime. Read instructions on cleaning.

Agreed. Been using one for almost 30 years.

Plus it's like pulling out an RPG in a pillow fight.

I assume at this price, it's just filled with the shredded returns of their $1,000 mattresses

i know what your going through. First of all the matress is pretty important and no pillow will help if you are sinking in too much and your body is not correctly aligned, but assuming you do have a good matress, i went through tens of pillows till i took a chance on these a few years ago and i still love them, i have to fluff them a bit every night by shaking it up a little but they are really worth every dollar of the $25 (4x$25=$100). standard, firm (for side/back sleepers), 4 pack https://www.amazon.com/Ella-Jayne...R6G6G?th=1

The fill. Not poly fill and not foam.. So not this

Down / down alternative style fills
Depends on the person, heavy memory foam pillows are where I have found the best sleep but I am definitely an outlier.
