Lagoon pillow review: I took a quiz that matches you with the best pillow for your needs, and now I finally sleep through the night

I'm always on the quest to get the best night's sleep. After months of doubling up worn-out generic pillows, I was on the lookout for a nice, quality plush pillow. I came across Lagoon Sleep and its pillow quiz that matches you with the best pillow based on your sleeping habits. Once I completed the quiz, Lagoon sent me a pillow as an editorial review sample, and after a month of testing, I haven't looked back at my generic pillows. Choosing a pillow The seven-question pillow quiz asked about issues I face while sleeping, my body type, how firm or soft I desire my pillow to be, and my sleep style. Being a side sleeper who constantly tosses and turns due to being a hot sleeper, Lagoon recommended Otter pillow, which is perfect for side and versatile sleepers. It is also a fully adjustable cooling pillow. Lagoon has five different pillows that are supposed to fit any sleep style. If your recommended pillow doesn't live up to your expectations, the company has a try-before-you-buy program that allows you to test the pillow for 100 nights. The quiz also recommended a runner-up pillow, the Fox, in case the Otter wasn't a good fit for me. Our review of the Lagoon Pillow When I first opened my Lagoon pillow, I was a bit confused seeing that the pillow came rolled and flattened in plastic packaging. After following their detailed unboxing instructions, I unrolled my Otter pillow and was able to fluff and adjust it to my liking. When I started fluffing out my pillow, I was impressed by its combination of softness and firm support. The Otter is filled with shredded gel-infused memory foam that can be removed for a flatter pillow or added for a higher double-stacked feel. The pillow comes zipped inside a white quilted pillow cover made of bamboo and polyester. I slept on it without a pillowcase at first. But after a few nights, the cover became noticeably dirty with makeup stains. I was able to easily unzip and toss it in the washing machine and it came out like new. Although the quilted pillow cover is washing-machine friendly, Lagoon recommends spot cleaning the inner cover for stains. If you need to wash it, only wash the inner cover once a year and safety pin the zipper to secure the shredded memory foam. All of Lagoon's pillows are made from hypoallergenic recycled and natural materials. Being a person who loves to double their pillows, I appreciate the pillow's adjustable fill design that allows me to get the right height and comfort for my head and neck. I usually toss and turn at night and am constantly turning on my fan because I sweat in my sleep. The Otter lived up to its cooling pillow claims. After sleeping on it for the first few nights, I realized that I was finally comfortable and cool the entire night. Lagoon offers a 100-night trial and a five-year warranty for its pillows. If you're not a fan of your pillow, Lagoon will send you a prepaid label for its return. Plus, the warranty covers any manufacturing issues or flaws for five years. What are your alternatives? While Lagoon's Otter Pillow is an excellent cooling pillow, we still prefer the Coop Home Goods The Eden+ Adjustable Pillow. The top pick in our best cooling pillow guide, the Eden+ is one of the coolest pillows we've ever used. It's comparable in price to the Otter, so I'd recommend checking it out.

The bottom line I'm not sure if it's because the Lagoon Otter pillow is the first higher-end pillow I've tried, but it is definitely the best pillow I've ever slept on. If you're a hot, restless sleeper like I am, this pillow may be just what you need. I sleep better and no longer wake up throughout the night to turn on my fan or grab more pillows for extra comfort.
