Layla Kapok Pillow

Kapok plus copper-infused shredded memory foam is an unusual blend that solves two problems at once. Kapok gives the pillow a soft, down-like top that memory foam cannot produce on its own; the foam underneath provides the structure kapok lacks.

Copper is included as an antimicrobial and conductive additive. We would not buy this pillow for the copper claims alone, but the practical result — a shredded foam pillow that did not develop a hot spot under the head — was consistent across our testing.

It is fully adjustable through a zippered cover, arrives over-filled, and at $109 sits mid-market. It is the pillow to pick if you want the plush surface of a down-alternative with the adjustability and support of shredded foam underneath.
