Hi all—I am looking for a new pillow! I currently have a down one from Brooklinen but it is not supportive at all for me. I've had pretty bad cervical neck pain. I did an MRI and found out I have mild arthritis in my neck. I know a pillow won't solve my pain but hopefully it can at least help!? I've settled on these two pillows and was wondering what you all thought?
I sleep mostly on my side and back. I am also on the smaller side so am not looking for anything with super high loft. Any help would be great! Looking to hear if anyone has any experiences with these pillows or which one they would recommend for me.

Has anyone tried both the 2020 version of the Casper Original AND the Casper Select from Costco? How do they compare in terms of feel?
Why I ask:
My fiance and I went to try the Casper at a local store today and actually loved it. While doing some more shopping though, we found that Costco also had a Casper Queen mattress that was $400~$500 cheaper than what Casper was offering both online and in-store.
Upon reaching out to Casper support to ask what the difference was, they told us that the Casper Select (Costco one) is in fact the older version of the current Original. The main differences are:
Casper Select/Older Original - 4 layers, top layer is breathable open cell foam, 12" height. Zip-off cover
Current Original - 3 layers, top layer has their new 'Airscape' foam for breathability. 11" height. They also removed the zipper on the cover so the top is no longer removable.
Again, I'm wondering if anyone's tried both of these and knows the difference in feel. We like the current original but if we can save $500 for a product that feels basically the exact same, then its a no-brainer. (Sleeping hot isn't an issue since it doesn't get crazy hot where we are)
-edit- To clarify, I havent tried the Costco Casper so dont know if it feels the same or not. Thats the part I'm hoping to get lucky and clarification on.
-edit2- The Costco Select Casper (aka the 2019 Casper Original) arrived two days ago. There was some chemical off-gassing scent, but not as much as others make it seem. It felt extremely soft during the first 24 hours and my body was slipping off everytime I sat on the edge.
48 hours later, it's definitely gotten more firm and is very close to the feel of the 2020 Casper we tried in stores. The edge support is also much better, although still lacking at the extreme edge of the bed (ie the last 2 inches).
I'll give it another 24 hours before making the call, but I'd say that the Costco was definitely the way to go vs the 2020 Original.
Similar edge support situation on both
Feel of 2019 is the same as the 2020 after expanding
2019 still has the removable zipper-cover that got removed for the 2020
was $400 cheaper
I saw the Casper select pillow at Costco yesterday and was wondering if anyone knows how it compares to the Casper original. I like my Casper original. The select is half the price.
For context... I'm 6'0, 190lbs and have some si joint and lower back issues. I now know that I need a firm mattress for my back issues. I looked into building another DIY latex but I'm definitely not finding the $250 3" slabs that I used 8 years ago.
For the past 8 years, I've slept on a DIY Dunlop 12" latex mattress consisting of a 6" extra firm base, 3" firm, and 3" medium layers. It's now time to purchase a new mattress as one of the latex layers has separated/tore and in general feel that it's time to replace as a whole.
I've tried a Casper Wave Hybrid Snow and Avocado Green (firm or non-pillow top) mattress as a replacement but didn't get along with either. The Casper feels nice/plush when initially laying down for 5 minutes but after that, I sink in way too much and get lower back pain every morning as it is really really soft. The Avacado didn't feel as "premium or luxurious" as the Casper Wave but back pain was much less. However, the top comfort layer of latex is so thin, that I could literally feel the coils under my heaviest points when sleeping. They tried sending a 2" topper to use with it but it didn't help much. The zoning of the coils I didn't really like either. I also don't like the thick foam border that the Casper adds for edge stability as it causes me to roll towards the middle when you sleep close to the edge.
All that being said, I am tempted by the Tempurpedic Supreme Firm (all foam) at Costco. It's priced at $2200 and includes a $300 Costco gift card effectively making it $1,900. As with everything in life there are mixed reviews all over the internet for the Costco exclusive "Supreme" model.
It appears to be a mix of the Tempurpedic Adapt and ProAdapt models.
How are the quality of materials, durability long-term of the Supreme and also when compared to the Adapt and ProAdapt models solid officially by Tempurpedic?
Looking to upgrade my mattress for the Labor Day sales. Am currently looking at the Casper Snow Max and TEMPUR-adapt and can’t make a decision, was wondering what people think between the two brands.
I’m looking for a new budget pillow, preferably memory foam or something that won’t go flat in a couple of months and is comfortable enough to not give me back pains or headaches.
I saw a few in my local Costco in Texas and I’m not sure which one to choose.
Hybrid vs cooling select? Anyone have experience/opinions?
