Senior mattress and sleep editor Bridget Chapman has been primarily sleeping on the Purple Harmony Pillow for over a year and a half, along with her husband, and says, “We’re truly so impressed.” She initially had low expectations due to her pillow pickiness as a side sleeper, but she found it remains “supportive with just the right amount of give, and it stays cool throughout the night.” Thanks tRead B
Purple is the best pillow on the market. Anyways, I think it's because I'm so used to sleeping on the thinner one. When I went to medium size, I was like, "Ow." I don't know if it's my head shape. I don't know if it's I'm a girl. I don't know if it's like just a preference thing. But like I was like, these are my dream pillows, but then I wake up in the morning I have like I have like an ache.Watch T
I’ve been sleeping on the Purple Harmony pillow for about two years and found it well-suited for back sleepers who need strong-enough support to keep their neck and head aligned with their spine without raising their head too high. I’m a back-and-side combination sleeper, so I also appreciate how this pillow self-adjusts and keeps my neck aligned when I roll onto my side.Read Y
First impressions are that this pillow is absolutely lovely. Do I feel like I am in harmony? Yes, I totally do. So, as I'm laying on my back, I I'm really digging this. Uh I do. I like it. It's just incredibly comfortable. I'm totally a side sleeper. I can't deny that. And uh I wonder if this could be my new side sleeping pillow. Now I currently sleep on the reflex pillow.Watch F
The Purple Harmony Pillow offers a luxurious, nontraditional feel—almost as if your head is floating while also experiencing a dreamy level of squishiness and support. Unlike a down pillow, the brand’s proprietary GelFlex Grid combined with Talalay latex makes it feel bouncy, supportive and gently contouring, so there’s no need to fluff or flip it throughout the night.Read L
It stays cool all night. The temperature's neutral airy grid and ventilation latex and moisture wicking mesh cover are a great combo that allows you for continuous air so you can keep a cool head all night. So now you know more about the Purple Harmony pillow. First off, I just want to let you know that this is a heavy pillow.Watch P
What an editor says: “I’ve had a years-long Princess and the Pea (or Goldilocks) frustration with pillows and have never found one that was both super comfy and solved my sinus headache/neck pain issue,” Senior Editor Gina Way shared in her review of this pillow . “In fact, over the years, I’ve accumulated nine pillows, and not one has been the perfect fit…until now.Read S
So overall, if you're looking for a really high quality pillow that you're not going to have to replace, you're not going to have to fluff up, and that's just super super comfortable, I would highly recommend this Purple Harmony pillow.Watch M
I think this model is the most versatile and appealing pillow of the Purple pillow line. You get the flexible support from the Grid Hex and the cushiony soft comfort of the latex foam , all while feeling cooling relief from moisture-wicking cover. Bottom line: if you are thinking about buying this pillow, do it.Read T
I have never woken up with any issues with neck pain, pain in my back, pain in my spine, or anything like that when using this pillow. Also, it is quite big, as you can see. So regardless if you're a side sleeper, sleeping on your front, sleeping on your back, if you're rolling over during the night, you won't have a problem with having to adjust this pillow or move it around cuz it is quite long.Watch F Facebook Article
I’ve tried out the Purple Harmony Pillow and I was really impressed. If you sleep on your stomach or side, this pillow can help keep your spine aligned and while keeping your neck, back, shoulders, arms, hips, and legs comfortable.Read I
And that's one of the things I love about the Purple Harmony Pillow is that it retains its shape. So, regardless of what position I sleep in, that's that's the other issue I had with my other with other pillows I tried. A lot of the pillows out there they're usually advertised for specific sleepers. So, if you're a side sleeper, there's a side sleeper pillow.Watch H
We particularly like that it comes in a High loft (among three height options) for side sleepers to score all the benefits of this pillow at an elevated height, better aligning their neck and spine.Read P
Overall, the Purple Harmony pillow combines innovative technology and practical design, promising a better night's sleep for everyone.Watch T
The Purple Harmony pillow is my favorite pillow for back sleepers hands down — and I say this as a back sleeper who has tested dozens of pillows and slept on the Harmony for about two years.Read A
“I prefer a more dense and firm pillow for side sleeping,” says Dr. Hickey, whose pillow of choice is the Purple Harmony Pillow. “Trying pillows out is so important,” she adds.Read Y

I used a Purple Harmony pillow for about 4 years, not the tall version. the first 2.5 years it was great, but then I felt my neck starting hurting some, and later more because the pillow just got a little flatter due to use I guess. I am guessing this would not have been an issue with the taller variant, but it was too tall for me that it was not confortable (personal preference).Read S
One of the few downsides of the Purple Harmony™ Pillow was that there was a noticeable chemical smell to it. This is known as off-gassing, and it can be unpleasant. The scent usually dissipates quickly, but unfortunately, it lingered for days with the Harmony™.Read M
If you’re a big fan of the company’s unique grid material, we recommend purchasing the Original. This one does cost more than the Plush, however, so it may not work well if you’re on a budget.Read E
