The Saybrook pillow (and the Coop pillow) use all new foam, and these pillows don't feel lumpy. Some of the pieces of foam in these low-cost pillows were sticky or had a rind on them that made me suspect the foam was a byproduct of mattress production. Many of them didn't have the polyester fibers mixed in, unlike the Saybrook, Coop, and Wondersleep pillows, and the lack of polyester fibers exacerbated the lumpiness. The pieces of memory foam were hard and stiff, causing the pillows to feel lumpy. In the past, I had tried low-cost shredded memory foam pillows off of Amazon that were in the $20 - $50 price range, and they almost made me give up on shredded memory foam pillows. Saybrook filling has the high-quality, slow-motion bounce-back I expect from memory foam. I can still turn my head without feeling pushback while lying down if I want to, which isn't true for some of the firmer pillows. At the same time, the pillow still feels soft enough to be comfortable when I squish it, and it isn't so firm that I feel pressure against my ears or jaw. It cradles my head with ample support when I sleep on my side, and I don't find myself tossing and turning at night when I use it. The high proportion of memory foam pieces combined with the slight amount of polyester fiber results in a medium softness / firmness. The Coop foam reminds me of the foam used in Walkman over-the-ear headphones from the 80's (not necessarily uncomfortable, but it has a different, more mundane feel), while the Saybrook memory foam has the signature squish I've come to expect from memory foam. ![]() Pieces of memory foam in the Wondersleep pillow feel hard and uncomfortable to me while the Coop memory foam feels more like regular foam in my opinion. In addition, the Saybrook memory foam feels to me like it's the highest quality. When I sleep on the other adjustable pillows in this review, I feel more like I'm sleeping on a polyester pillow. Compared to the other shredded memory foam and polyester fiber blends, Lion Down Alternative has a higher proportion of memory foam, and the overall feel of the pillow is more like a memory foam pillow. Saybrook uses a blend called "Lion Down Alternative," and I find the pun pretty amusing. The Saybrook pillow distinguishes itself in the filling. Saybrook filling uses the highest proportion of memory foam out of the three pillows I tested that blend memory foam and polyester fiber. The Winners & Full Reviews of Each Pillow If you're able to invest in a higher quality pillow, I believe you'll see the returns through a longer lasting product, better sleep, more energy throughout the day, and improved work performance. Cheaper pillows also tend to use less filling, which can result in a flatter pillow. Down and feathers pillows under $50 tend to use more quills than down clusters, resulting in a pokey pillow. For example, shredded memory foam pillows under $50 tend to use junk foam from leftover scraps of mattress production, which results in lumpy pillows. Many of the cheaper pillows can cut corners in ways that don't show up on paper. I recommend against the options under $50, and you'll save money in the long run by going with a higher quality pillow. I highly recommend this pillow as my top pick, especially for side-sleepers or people who sleep in a combination of positions. ![]() I enjoy sleeping on the Saybrook Adjustable Pillow in all three sleep positions thanks to the adjustability of the loft and the medium softness/firmness. Overall, my sleep experience on the Saybrook Adjustable Pillow impresses me the most. I paid for and tried each one of these pillows.
