Pillow Construction
The pillowcase is made of 92% nylon fiber and 8% spandex. Open the pillowcase and you can see countless ventilation holes. This is its secret to moisture wicking. It’s worth mentioning that it’s machine washable.
The pillow core consists of two parts. The top and bottom are honeycomb GelFlex layers, with a rollable Talalay latex core in the middle.
GelFlex mesh made of super-elastic polymer is CleanAir GOLD and CertiPUR-US certified. Hypoallergenic, even those with sensitive skin need not worry. The hexagonal grid distributes force evenly, ensuring your head and neck are comfortable and supported. Durable Talalay latex maintains the pillow’s shape, extending its lifespan.
The combination of latex core and purple mesh provides good heat resistance. The ventilation holes and grids effectively dissipate heat without making people feel damp and stuffy. Good air circulation also reduces bacterial growth. Not only do we sleep comfortably, we also sleep healthily.
Test Performance
The whole test was done by me and my partner. I am a back and side sleeper. Eric and April are stomach sleepers and side sleepers respectively. After a 7-day sleep trial, we evaluate softness, comfort, etc. Additionally, we observed how well the pillow recovered after being subjected to 20 pounds of weight overnight. We also wash the parts that can be washed according to the instructions. The entire test is only to get the most realistic results.

Durability
The pillowcase that has been machine washed five times has no change and is still elastic. The Talalay latex in the pillow core is surrounded by a grid, which effectively prevents the pillow from deforming. The special structure can reduce wear and tear, and its quality remains online after long-term use.
Comfort And Support
The medium firmness provides decent support. It feels amazing to sleep on it. Unlike traditional down pillows, your head won’t sink infinitely. The stretchy latex material is vibrant and adapts to your sleeping position. (No matter how you roll) I can really feel the elasticity of the latex foam. As I rolled over, a slight tremor came from inside the pillow. But this does not affect sleep. In addition, its rebound speed is also excellent. It can quickly regain its shape even under a weight of 20 pounds. In other words, it won’t lose its shape over time.
Odors
It will have a slight smell when it arrives. You can leave it for a day to allow it to fully ventilate. The smell will slowly disappear. But if you are someone who is very sensitive to smells (pathological), please try it with caution.
Temperature Regulation
Hot sleepers, check this out, this pillow is excellent at regulating temperature. The latex core has small holes to promote air circulation. The purple mesh has hundreds of breathable areas. Paired with a cool pillowcase, the entire pillow will not accumulate heat. It can maintain a suitable temperature even in hot summer.
Sleeping Style
This pillow is available in three loft heights. Low loft is 5.5 inches, medium loft is 6.5 inches, and high loft is 7.5 inches.
Since I sleep on my side and back, I use a medium-height pillow. This height is perfect for me, especially when sleeping on my side. My head is neither too high nor too low, and is in a straight line with my spine. Side sleepers need a certain amount of support, and the harmony pillow provides effective support. I don’t have any discomfort when sleeping on my back. The mesh is so soft and stretchy, I feel like I’m sleeping on a water balloon. It’s interesting.
April, who is also a side sleeper, also likes it. She said: This is the most amazing pillow I have ever slept on. When I change my sleeping position, it changes shape with me. The response is really sensitive!
Unfortunately, stomach sleepers don’t like it that much. After using the low-loft pillow for a week, Eric didn’t fall in love with it. He felt that even 5.5 inches was a bit too high. Stomach sleepers need thin, soft pillows. If you’re a stomach sleeper, you have better options.
User Reviews
So far, harmony pillow has received more than 3,300 positive reviews on Amazon. Overall, everyone felt it was good value for money. Some neck pain sufferers even appreciate its ability to relieve pain and provide a comfortable sleep. But there are some users who don’t like it too much. An asthma patient said: When it is first opened, it smells like chemicals. The smell made him feel very uncomfortable. There are also some users who find it too expensive. After using it for a year, its performance is not as good as before.
Should You Try It?
I recommend it for side sleepers and back sleepers. Neck pain can be prevented if your neck is properly supported. The exclusive GelFlex layer of the Purple Harmony Pillow is flexible and can quickly relieve the pressure on our necks. People who like to roll over and are afraid of heat will also like it. In short, although it is a bit expensive, its performance is worth the price.
I would not recommend it for stomach sleepers. You may need a lower loft height. At the same time, the hardness of the harmony pillow cannot be adjusted. A softer pillow might be more suitable. Stomach sleepers do need to spend a little more time choosing a pillow. (I understand how you feel)
