PurpleDreamLayer Pillow - Standard Size, Multi-Layered GelFlex Grid & MicroAir Foam for Support & Pressure Relief - Customizable Height with Removable Foam Booster Layers

Finding the right pillow has been difficult for me. I have either purchased or tried probably 20 different pillows over the years. I also have not been a fan of memory foam pillows due to heat retention. Having said that, I decided to try the Purple Dreamlayer standard size pillow, mainly because my son is a fan of his Purple mattress & products. Spending close to $200 for a pillow is no joke, but if you’ve never really been able to find a pillow that works for you, you’ll try anything. I’ve been using this pillow for about 10 days, and so far I love it. It comes with two additional supports that will allow you to adjust the height to your liking. For me, I use it without the adjusters. This pillow has the purple gel pattern on one side only, which is the side for your head to lay on. The pillow does not get hot for me, and it comfortably conforms to my head & neck without feeling restrictive. This pillow is somewhat heavier than a traditional pillow, but it is significantly lighter than the original purple pillow. There initially was a slight smell from the foam, but after about 10 days of use that has largely faded away and wasn’t much of an issue to begin with. I do think this pillow is way more expensive than it should be, but I also have to say it’s probably the best pillow I’ve had. If it gives you a good nights sleep, it’s worth it. Five stars is based solely on performance, not price. I recommend it, even though it does break the bank as pillows go.

I am a big fan of Purple products, this pillow is a nice inbetween. Sometimes the original pillow is too firm for me and sometimes the harmony is too soft. This is where this one shines, I’ve been using it for the last month my neck pain is gone and my tmj pain has been relieved. This is a kind of memory foam but you can definitely tell it’s of very high quality, it’s a very nice pillow. As for the people who say it smells, it’s the equivalent of a new car smell, I actually don’t mind it all, it smells like a quality product and the smell fades in a few days if that. If you’re like me and a terrible sleeper I say it’s great pillow to have in your arsenal.

For people looking for a memory foam version of the Purple Pillow, this is it. The purple gel layer is thick...and the foam layer has just a bit of squish to it. Reminds me of a memory foam pillow, but it doesn't trap heat. I have been using the Purple Harmony Tall for about a year. I went through tons of pillows before landing on the Harmony. If this pillow was available when I bought the Harmony, I probably would have bought the Dreamlayer and been happy with it. I'm a side and stomach sleeper. Compared to the Harmony, this pillow is much more firm. I sleep more on top of the Dreamlayer than I do the Harmony. The Harmony has more squish to it...and it's just softer. Both are equally supportive. For side sleeping, I'd say they are both great. But for stomach sleeping, I think the Harmony is better. Better to sink your face into. They are both great pillows, but I just prefer the Harmony. If the Dreamlayer was cheaper, I would have kept it...but for 160 bucks...it didnt beat the Harmony...so I had to return it. The boosters with the Dreamlayer is great so you can get the height you want.

In the past I have slept with memory foam pillows. I like how your head melts into it giving soft support. However, I've never liked how they get hot at night, so I've been on the hunt for something better. I thought I'd try this pillow and....WOW!!!!!!It has this soft, squishy feel that gives where you want it, and supports where you need it, and it feels cool all night. What is this magic???The grid adds a really different element, in a good way. It adds a soft flexibility that cradles the small contours of your face, head and neck, and I think it's a key reason it stays so cool because the air can keep flowing through all the little channels. My other pillows haven't had it, and it creates this almost air flow layer I've never felt before. The foam beneath the grid is really soft and squishy, and together it creates this soothing comfort that lulls me to sleep and keeps me comfortable all night, even when I shift around to different sleep positions. My daughter loves it too, she calls it the "marshmallow pillow."I like that you can adjust the height too. I like it without any of the additional foam layers as generally I prefer a low pillow to sleep with, but for watching TV I like to add one of the layers for more height. The cover is really innovative, it's like an envelope closure which makes inserting or taking out the height adjusting layers super easy and convenient. LOVE this pillow!!!!

I don't know who is in churches of quality control but it's clear thus wasn't authentic or new! There are hairs, marks and piling that has already started and I just opened the flipping box! 1st what is this chemical smelling white powder?! Fentanyl?Cocaine? It certainly is not baby powder, IT STINKS! I'm scared to sleep on this chemical.This pillow does not look like the one I saw at the Purple store AT ALL, & it is HEAVY, INCONSISTENTLY BUILT, way too tall & floppy.Hard to sleep on because it just sinks & stinks. I could smell it before I even opened the zipper which was easy to use.The foam is ripped all throughout.The adjustability is ridiculous for the money! These thin pancakes of a totally different material do no good. Just because the zipper is good quality does not mean this is a purple pillow. No support when you lay on it. This has to be a joke. There needs to be better quality control. I have a sample pillow from the store & this pillow does not match and I see on the tag that it was made in a different country & they just put a purple tag on it. Sad we have to go thru this for something that costs this much.

Comfortable pillow however it is not very cooling. I was hoping that with the cost of this pillow that it would actually work as advertised. You can find similar pillows that have the same level of cooling comfort for a whole lot cheaper.
