Usually not. Tom's Guide measured it at five inches tall and found it too thin for side sleeping, though it worked well for back and stomach sleepers. The TEMPUR-Cloud Adjustable Pillow (Queen) ($74) lets you add or remove fill.
Tom's Guide found it mostly temperature-neutral, but warm on feverish nights, and suggests a cooling option if you get night sweats. The Nectar Serenity Cooling Pillow ($75) is a shredded memory foam cooling pillow.
Only the cover. Tom's Guide says the cover is removable and machine washable (cool wash, air dry), while the foam inside is spot clean only.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
Prices are typical US prices from retailer listings and price trackers, last checked October 2026. They are not live Amazon prices, which change often. When a price couldn't be confirmed, the page says “Check price on Amazon” instead of showing a number.
