Who Might Choose Coop Sleep Goods…
- Larger body types. One initial observation people will probably notice with the Coop Sleep Goods pillow is its large and overstuffed feel. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who may need a substantial pillow to provide adequate support; typically those with heavier body types or broader shoulders.
- Combination sleepers. The major difference in these pillows is that, with Coop Sleep Goods, sleepers can add/remove as much of the filling as they desire. Therefore, it’s a good fit for all sleep types – individuals just need to take some time to find the right loft for ideal neck/spine alignment.

Who Might Choose Good Life Essentials…
- Side sleepers. The pillow has a 6″ height profile, which may create too much of an angle for the neck if a person is trying to sleep on his or her side or stomach. The pillow will flatten out over time but the chunks of foam provide enough support to make it a good fit for side sleepers over other positions.
- Those on a limited budget. Although the pillows aren’t drastically different in price, the Good Life Essentials pillow is a little less expensive, around $20 less for a Queen than the Coop Sleep Goods pillow.
Who Could Go with Either…
- Those who don’t mind a little maintenance. Based on my experience, both pillows will lose a little bit of their loft/start to fall flat after several nights of sleep. It can be easily remedied by throwing each pillow in the dryer for 15 minutes and letting the foam filling expand. Sleepers probably need to consider doing this at least once a week with either pillow to help it maintain its full shape.
- Sleepers who enjoy fabric made of bamboo (or rayon from bamboo). While they have different textures, both pillow covers are a soft combination of rayon/viscose from Bamboo and polyester. This also helps promote breathability within the pillow.
Overall
Starting with their unique bamboo/polyester blend covers to their shredded foam cores, these two pillows truly share a lot of common features. The biggest difference is that the Coop Sleep Goods pillow is an adjustable shredded pillow. This means sleepers can take out (or add back in) as much of the filling as they’d like. And it comes overstuffed. This makes it a great pillow for larger framed individuals (when completely full) but would really work for any sleep positions since the person can decide how much filling is inside his or her pillow.
Based on my experience, the fullness of the Good Life Essentials pillow lends itself to side sleeping with its higher profile and support from the chunks of foam.
They both come with 30 -day trial periods and are reasonably priced (with Good Life Essentials being slightly more affordable).
