I’ve seen it all when it comes to pillow shapes, especially ones with funky shapes designed for, ideally, “pain-free” sleep (looking at you, Kanuda). Standard rectangular pillows can be very tricky for side sleepers with neck pain, as their shape offers overarching support around the head and neck. However, without the right loft, fill, and design features, it’s hard to quantify them as true cervical pillows for neck pain, especially when there is no direct support under the neck. Coop’s Cut Out Pillow stands out for its unusual shape, which many can try to replicate but can never truly match in terms of support, especially while side sleeping.
The Cut Out has a more pronounced notch, meant for sleepers who just stick to their sides. Your shoulder slides into this area, while you gain more pronounced support under the head and neck. Coop bills both the Cut Out and Crescent models (the latter is listed below) as being ideal for side sleepers, and WIRED reviewers who have tested agree.
This is also an adjustable pillow, with fill you can add or remove (also included) based on your stature and preferences. You can also opt for a cooling cover (called Cool+) or the standard, soft cover of the original.
