Club Benefits
As a bedding tester, multi-functional pillows tend to catch my eye, simply because they are excellent value. The newly launched Coop Essence Adjustable Crescent Pillow, now 40% off at Coop Sleep Goods, is one such pillow, designed to cooling support for side and back sleepers during hot weather.
Coop Sleep Goods is a bedding brand we rate highly at Tom's Guide. For one thing, they're behind the Original Adjustable, our best pillow of 2026. The new Essence Adjustable Crescent is (as the name indicates!) also an adjustable model, with a down alternative fill that's designed to have enhanced airflow, perfect for summer nights.
While the Original is priced at $89, you can currently get a pack of two Essence Adjustable Crescent pillows for $59.40, thanks to Memorial Day mattress sales.

Breathable comfort all night long
Just like some of the best pillows for side sleepers I've tested, this Coop Essence model features a crescent shape design along the length of the pillow that your neck and shoulders rest against.
This crescent shape means the pillow provides space for your shoulders in side and back sleeping positions, and by preventing gaps between your neck and the mattress, or neck tilting, your head, neck and spine remain supported and aligned. The fully-adjustable design lets you customize the loft and firmness as per your sleeping preferences.
But a really big highlight, especially for summer, is the material composition, which differs from the Original Adjustable Pillow I've tested and loved.
Instead of crosscut memory foam and microfiber, the Essence Crescent consists of a blend of lightweight, springy and airy polyester puffs and a fluffy down-alternative fibers.
According to the brand, this combination was tested to deliver 2x more airflow than other down-alternative pillows, indicating that it's extremely breathable. Plus, down-alternative headrests are perfect for those who love the fluffy comfort of down but can't have it due to allergies.
Hot sleepers should level up — here's an advanced alternative
Coop Sleep Goods recommends the Essence Crescent Pillow for those looking for a breathable yet luxurious, down-like feeling.
And while it's certainly designed to prevent heat building up, if you're someone struggling with night sweats or who regularly sleeps hot, it's worth investing in and actively cooling pillow, like the brand's advanced Cool+ Pillow:
