5 Best Pillows Under $100
Coop Sleep Goods The Original tops Consumer Reports' test, beating out GhostBed and Weekender for support and value
Consumer Reports recently tested five pillows under $100 for support, resilience, and breathability, and found that several models offered good support and value despite their relatively low prices. The top-rated pillows included the Coop Sleep Goods The Original, GhostBed Shredded, and Weekender Gel Memory Foam.
The Coop Sleep Goods The Original, priced at $89, consists of shredded memory foam and earned top marks for support regardless of a sleeper's size or sleeping position. This pillow also kept its shape well over time, showing little change in height or fluffiness during resilience testing.
The GhostBed Shredded, a pair of pillows costing $86.99, is built from bits of shredded memory foam wrapped in a polyester-fiber cover. Testers found that pulling out some of the foam pieces and gel fibers allowed for fine-tuning of support, particularly for back sleepers. However, this pillow received middling marks in the resilience test, but excelled in the breathability test.
The Weekender Gel Memory Foam, priced at $29.99, combines a cooling gel layer with a polyurethane foam core. While it rated average for support for back sleepers, it received very good marks for side sleepers. This pillow also rated top-notch for resiliency and breathability.
