AMAZING. Total game changer. Here’s my review after spending a couple nights with it. For context, I’m a side sleeper that frequently struggles with neck pain. I haven’t woke up with any since trying this pillow for the first time.

Super comfortable and lightweight, the DreamLayer pillow has just the right amount of firmness and height, which I felt was lacking from the two previous Purple styles that I tried beforehand: Original Purple and Harmony (Standard-Tall). DreamLayer takes the best parts from those two styles, and has the same construct/appearance of the Original Purple pillow, only substantially less heavier. It also has the same jelly-like honeycomb texture of the Harmony pillow along its top outer layer, and soft-like memory foam material with just the right amount of firmness. So basically, it’s like a super comfy rectangular marshmallow.

Using it for the first time, I noticed the pillow cradled and conformed to my head perfectly, and didn’t drop or sink too deep into the pillow either - I’d say about halfway only. While laying on my side, my neck was supported perfectly, and I could easily relax my arm underneath the pillow. That was a HUGE plus.

On a final note, the pillow also includes a stretchy pillow case with built-in slots for boosters (two boosters are included). The slots keep the boosters secured and prevent them from shifting around - WIN!

All in all, I am so happy with this pillow. If you’re curious about trying it, DO NOT hesitate. You just might love it too!

Looking for some advice/reviews. I am typically a side and stomach sleeper, and I’ve had some issues with neck pain causing headaches when I don’t have the right support. I tried a purple pillow in mattress firm a few weeks ago and really liked it. It was their heavier pillow I can’t exactly remember what it was, but I think it was the original purple pillow. We just got a king bed so ideally would like a king pillow but I know the purple pillow only comes in a queen size. Looking to see which one would be better for me.

Side sleeper 5’9 medium build Hand is always under the pillow

Always grabbing onto a different pillow with my left hand while I sleep

Ive read numerous reviews of people recommending the purple harmony pillow.

I don’t want buckwheat because the last thing I want is insects.

Any recommendations!? Please help :) thanks guys!

Side sleeper here. I have a Harmony low loft, it was awesome for a couple of years then I started getting neck pain so I bought a medium loft. It was firmer than the low loft and shaped differently, there wasn’t a slope around the edge and didn’t feel as good as the low loft. I kept switching between the two but finally bought a Coop which has been pretty good until I started getting shoulder pain sometimes. So I’m searching again and saw the Dream Layer and it looks really nice, unfortunately there’s no stores around me where I can try it. I love the coolness of the Harmony and the squishy grid but I feel like the shape of the Dream might be better for my shoulders. I’m not a fan of really bouncy latex, I like to feel a bit of sinking in instead of laying on top of the pillow. I know the Dream is pretty new but was hoping there might be some people here who have one?

Edit - okay, ordered one today. Fingers crossed that it’s my Goldilocks pillow

Edit - I ended up purchasing the Dreamlayer to try a second time. I don’t know if it was softer than the first one or if I’m just more used to memory foam after sleeping on a Tempurpedic Cloud but it was pretty comfortable without the extra boosters. The purple grid doesn’t stay cold very long, which is a bummer and besides the grid it doesn’t feel any different than my Cloud pillow which was less than half the price of the Dreamlayer, so I’m returning it (again).

I’m SO disappointed. Based on reviews and descriptions I thought this would be the perfect pillow. I don’t know if my head is weird or it’s because I have a really soft bed but I hardly sink into it at all, I found it to be very firm. It reminds me of the original Purple pillow with just a tiny bit more give. I thought the squared off edge might help my shoulders because as a side sleeper they tend to bug me. But all it did was put pressure on my neck. It didn’t conform to my neck/shoulder at all. I did sleep on it for a few hours until neck pain woke me up. Sadly, it’s getting returned.

I do love the cooling effect of the Purple grid. My low Harmony was great until it felt too low, the middle Harmony was shaped differently and too bouncy. I think I might try the Freeform next. Since right now my “this is adequate” pillow is an adjustable foam Coop.

Purple, known for its popular Purple grid mattress, also offers a range of pillows and bedding. I tried their purple pillow harmony pillow. Purple has incorporated their futuristic mattress technology into the Purple Harmony pillow, which they've dubbed the “Greatest Pillow Ever Invented.” I had the opportunity to personally test the Purple Harmony pillow, and I'm here to share my experience with you.

Since everyone has unique needs and personal preferences when it comes to pillows, let's discuss who I believe would benefit most from the Purple Harmony pillow...and who might want to explore other options.

​ I also recommend that you read this before buying this pillow

It's best for you:

If you prefer sleeping on your back: You'll likely appreciate the Purple Harmony pillow. As a back sleeper myself, I found it to have the ideal loft and firmness, keeping my head and neck aligned with my spine. Back sleepers may prefer the low or medium loft option.

For side sleepers: The Purple Harmony pillow is also a great choice. I recommend the medium or high loft version for proper spinal alignment and comfort.

For hot sleepers: The hot sleepers will appreciate the Purple Harmony's ability to regulate temperature. Its latex core naturally stays cool, and the Purple Grid Hex and breathable cover allow for ample airflow, ensuring a consistently cool and comfortable sleeping experience.

It's not best for you:

For stomach sleepers: I recommend avoiding the Purple Harmony. While Purple suggests that the low loft version is suitable for stomach sleepers, I found the loft to be too high when lying on my stomach. Opt for a softer pillow with a lower loft to prevent neck strain.

If you prefer the traditional feel of a down pillow, you might not like the Purple Harmony. It's very bouncy and responsive, lacking the moldability of a traditional down pillow.

Budget-conscious shoppers should also consider other options, as the Purple Harmony is priced higher due to its high-quality materials, placing it in the luxury pillow category.

The feel of a pillow is crucial when making a selection, as it can greatly impact your comfort and sleep quality. However, it's important to note that feel can be subjective, influenced by factors such as body type and personal preferences. What I experienced with the Purple Harmony pillow may differ from your experience.

When choosing a pillow firmness, consider your usual sleeping position. Side sleepers often prefer firm pillows, back sleepers opt for medium firmness, and stomach sleepers typically prefer softer pillows.

In my experience, the Purple Harmony pillow has a medium firmness. Its latex and Purple Grid Hex construction provides a bouncy and buoyant feel, allowing your head to sink in slightly while maintaining elevation.

Purple Harmony Pillow Loft

In considering pillow feel, the loft, or height of the pillow, is an important factor. Side sleepers typically prefer high loft, back sleepers are comfortable with medium loft, and stomach sleepers usually opt for low loft.

The Purple Harmony offers three loft options: low (5.5 inches), medium (6.5 inches), and high (7.5 inches). While I tested the low loft version, I would describe 5.5 inches as more of a true "medium" loft, with 6.5-7.5 inches being quite high. Keep this in mind when choosing the loft that suits you best.

Side: I found the Purple Harmony to be an excellent choice for side sleeping. While I tested the low loft version, I believe the medium or high loft versions would be more suitable. The buoyant and elevating feel of the pillow is ideal for maintaining spinal alignment while on your side, providing essential neck support to help prevent neck pain.

Back Sleeping: I found the Purple Harmony to be a perfect match for my back sleeping preference. As a back sleeper myself, I'm naturally inclined towards pillows that offer comfort in this position, and the Purple Harmony didn't disappoint. The medium firmness was just right for me, and I particularly enjoyed the bouncy feel that also provided some contouring around my head.

I found the low loft version (5.5 inches) to be ideal for back sleeping, as I consider this to be a true medium loft. However, the medium loft version (6.5 inches) could also be suitable for back sleepers who prefer a slightly higher loft.

Stomach Sleeping: I didn't find the Purple Harmony to be the best option for stomach sleeping. While Purple suggests that the low loft version should work, I felt that the loft was still too high. For stomach sleepers, I recommend choosing a pillow with a loft in the 2-3 inch range, or one that is soft enough to compress down to that height.

Under the Arm: The Purple Harmony is a great pillow for sleeping with under your arm. It has a nice, huggable feel and doesn't cause overheating, making it a comfortable choice.

Between the Legs: The Purple Harmony is also a good option for sleeping with between your legs. Its medium firmness provides pressure relief for your legs while keeping your hips aligned. I recommend the medium to low loft versions if you plan to use the Purple Harmony between your legs.

My Final Thoughts About the Purple Harmony Pillow

In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed using the Purple Harmony pillow, making it one of my personal favorites. I found it well-suited for both back and side sleepers, as well as those who switch between these positions. Additionally, it's a great choice for hot sleepers or anyone who appreciates the cool feel of a pillow. I was particularly impressed by how cool the pillow remained throughout the night, even through my pillowcase.

I also enjoyed the feel of the Purple Harmony pillow; it's bouncy and responsive, yet still allows for some contouring. The addition of the Purple Grid Hex layer elevates what could be considered a basic latex pillow to something more unique and comfortable. I also appreciate that the cover of the Purple Harmony is machine washable and that the materials are hypoallergenic, ensuring cleanliness.

However, I would advise against the Purple Harmony for stomach sleepers. I found that even the low loft version wasn't low enough to prevent the neck from craning in this position. While I appreciate that Purple offers this pillow in multiple lofts, I felt that the "low" loft version, at 5.5 inches tall, was more like a medium loft than a true low loft.

Just had my first night on my tall Purple Harmony pillow, and the shoulder on the side I sleep on has been really sore.

I'm a 6'3" 190lb side sleeper with broad shoulders.

Was this anyone else's experience and did it take time to break in? Or should I try the medium?

Thanks!

As a side sleeper/ someone who prefers my pillow cold, does anyone have any opinions on which pillow may be the best for me? Also my current mattress is a purple premier soft if this means anything.

I sleep on my side and stomach mostly. I find the only time I can sleep well on my back is with a really good pillow. Like the type when you rest your head on it you feel like your laying on a cloud and drift to sleep fast because you're so comfy lol. But I also don't like anything that's too soft that it has no support or flattens easily, but not overly firm either. Looking for that sweet spot. Price is not a factor because we literally spend like a third of our life in bed/sleeping and sleep is so important, so I don't mind spending money for something really good. I have a great mattress and I had these amazing tempur-pedic pillows for literally the last decade and they don't make them anymore, otherwise Id get new ones, but Im definitely in need of a replacement. I was thinking of going to a Mattress Firm to try some out but the stores don't always have all the good stuff in stock there to check out! I read good things about the Purple pillows, not sure if anyone has tried the original, harmony or dream layer? Preferring not to do a down feather pillow because I have some already and they just don't give enough support and comfort sometimes.

Anyone tried this yet and want to share their thoughts? Looks kind of like a modified version of the original.

Some info about me, I'm 5'5 about 150lbs side sleeper, I had a couple neck fractures last year so definitely want something supportive and comfortable for my neck
