Purple DreamLayer Pillow - King Size Multi-Layered GelFlex Grid MicroAir Foam for Support Pressure Relief - Customizable Height

First off, I have never laid my head on any non-living thing this soft and squishy yet supportive and ergonomic. The pillow is perfect, my partner was so in love that she had to get one too even though she had just bought another pillow from ikea. You will not rest your head on a better pillow than this. For a 5-10 year investment, this pillow is well worth it at a discounted price of $200 or less! Solid value for money , 1.5:1. FYI: the pillow is extremely heavy, like it can actually hurt someone in a pillow fight. But it’s so heavy that it will take tremendous strength to even swing it, let alone accurately. And honestly this is a huge plus because it doesn’t move with you when you move. For side sleepers: don’t look for any other pillow, this is the best pillow you can put your head on For back sleepers: I sleep on it on my back too and it’s really comfortable, so not just for side sleepers. For stomach sleepers: change to the two above positions because you’ll have a lot of neck and back pain down the line, but it will work for you too! For couples: yes, it perfectly comfortable for spooning, or sleeping facing each other on side, or one lays on back and the other sleeps on side. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Smell: Yes the pillow smells out of the box, but what I found to work well in removing the smell is: hand washing the GelFlex cover by hand with warm water and dish soap, putting the pillowcase cover in the washing machine, then stuffing the MicroAir core in between two hangers and hung on a curtain rod with a high powered fan under it for 4 days straight – seemed to remove the smell entirely. The polyurethane lifts didn’t smell like much out of the box, but that memory foam core stinkssss. To note there is a white powder coating the GelFlex grid, not sure what it is or does, but it seems water soluble and was washed out when I washed it by hand. For the price I feel they could at least pre-wash/off gas this pillow. Pillow Review: The pillow is quite firm when compared to my Harmony pillow, especially along the edges where the memory foam core lacks the ventilation columns, that being, stomach sleeping is not very comfortable given the pillow doesn’t compress enough to your neck due to its firmness – for stomach sleepers I highly recommend the Harmony, though I could see heavier set people stomach sleeping comfortably. This pillow is definitely for side sleepers, I actually started sleeping on my side with this pillow because it’s the perfect loft, firmness, and conforming squish. The durability is the reason I love Purple, never having to adjust the Harmony/Dreamlayer is the main reason I use them. The pillow does run cool, but because the base is so dense it does hold heat more than the harmony. The pillow is a more medium-firm in the middle where the ventilation columns are, but the edges are definitely firm. Overall, unless you are mainly/only a side sleeper or have a preference for firm pillows I recommend the Harmony. Measurements: Filler pillows (x2) (plush only, not including seams): 21 x 15 x 3/4, Dreamlayer Pillow: 22 x 15.5 x 4.5. Read more

I suffer from severe arthritis in my neck. I tried four different pillows before I found this one. I took the risk and tried it. As you can see, it is very expensive. However, this pillow is the most comfortable for me so far. The extra "shim" cushion that adjusts the pillow height does not seem to matter much, but that is OK since it is comfortable to me with or without it. I would have given it five stars, but the smell that it emits right out of the package is pungent and off-putting. I was expecting this because it is made from memory foam, and memory foam stinks when fresh, but it has been ten days, and I can still smell the odor, even though it has reduced quite a bit. My advice is to put it in another room after unpacking and let it sit for two weeks. Other than that, it is a fantastic pillow! Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more
