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

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.

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've been using it for a little over a month, and I can definitely tell a difference. Less neck pain and it stays cool all night!

Cured my neck pain

Overbearing smell and neck pain. Tried all 3 heights but didn't help. I wanted to love it but not worth the price.

The pillow really is super comfortable and I would have wanted to keep it, but the chemical smell is overbearing. I’ve washed both covers and let the pillow sit out for 2 weeks and it still smells. The case is also very small and fragile so when you wash it, it’s very difficult to get back in the case. Overall, it’s very comfortable, but the smell and small case openings might be too much for me to keep this. I am going to keep it for a couple more weeks to see if it goes away, but I’m having doubts.

Very firm but soft at the same time! Just had this less than a month, but I’m pleased so far.

I liked this pillow at first as the "cooling" feature of the pillow works somewhat. But it's only been just over a year and this pillow has already gone almost entirely flat. I find myself folding it every night. Memory foam pillows are supposed to last 2-3 years.
