LAYLA MEMORY FOAM PILLOW REVIEW
If you’re looking for a high-quality pillow that combines adjustability, support, and cooling properties without breaking the bank, the Layla Memory Foam Pillow could be a great choice.
Designed to provide a balance of customizable plushness and support, this Layla Pillow caters to a variety of sleep positions with its shredded memory foam fill.
Let’s take a closer look at everything we thought about the Layla Memory Foam Pillow, from its composition and firmness, to its temperature regulation, and maintenance, to help you decide whether this is the right pillow for your bedroom.
Company Policies & Recommendations
Layla Memory Foam Pillow - Composition
The Layla Memory Foam Pillow offers great value – crafted with materials that enhance comfort, breathability, and durability. Let’s take a closer look at the materials used in this pillow.
Cover Material
The outer cover is made from the Layla signature 320 GSM Hex pattern fabric, made of 100% polyester. At this price point, polyester is a common material, and we have found it to be soft and breathable, and to feel durable, for a plush and cozy feel against the skin.
- The cover can be washed on a cold cycle and dried on low tumble.
Liner
Inside the Layla Memory Foam Pillow is a liner that holds the filling. That liner is useful as it lets you throw the pillow cover in the washer, while containing the fill.
It is made of polyester-backed gel-infused memory foam for an extra plush layer of comfort. This helps keep the pillow’s shape intact while adding an extra layer of temperature regulation.
Fill Material
The Layla Memory Foam Pillow is filled with 70% shredded memory foam and 30% polyester fiber.
The shredded memory foam provides excellent contouring and support, adjusting to your head and neck for optimal comfort.
The polyester fiber adds softness and loft, preventing the pillow from feeling too firm. It is also useful in keeping the memory foam from shifting around the pillow, or clumping during the night.
This blend of materials is adjustable, meaning that you can remove or add fill to customize the loft and firmness to your preference. It comes slightly overfilled to allow all sleepers a chance at customizing the firmness and loft of their Layla Memory Foam Pillow.
Layla Memory Foam Pillow Sleep Tests
Everything we felt in one box
| Firmness | Temperature | Maintenance | Sleeping Style |

The Layla Memory Foam Pillow is an adjustable pillow, allowing you to add and remove as much memory foam / polyester fiber blend to adjust the pillow’s loft and firmness to your desired needs and preferences. The pillow comes slightly overfilled to allow even side sleepers a chance at customization its loft. |
We have found the Layla Memory Foam Pillow to sleep temperature neutral, thanks to its shredded memory foam allowing airflow, a gel-infused liner that dissipates heat, and a breathable cover that enhances ventilation. These features work together to help hot sleepers stay comfortable throughout the night. |
The cover of the Layla Memory Foam Pillow can be unzipped for a convenient wash and dry in your washing machine. We recommend washing on a cold cycle, and drying on low tumble. |
Since the pillow’s loft and firmness can be adjusted, we recommend the Layla Memory Foam Pillow to all sleepers. Side sleepers will want to keep a large amount of fill in it, back sleepers will remove 1/3 to 1/2 of the fill, while stomach sleepers will want to remove nearly all of the filling. |
Firmness - Adjustable For All Sleepers
One of the standout features of the Layla Memory Foam Pillow, especially at this price, is its adjustable firmness, making it suitable for all types of sleepers.
Side sleepers generally prefer a higher loft for neck support, and the shredded memory foam fill allows for adequate height, though the pillow comes overfilled, so even those preferring a very high loft will have a chance at customizing the loft.
Back sleepers need a medium-loft pillow to properly align their spine from the neck down, and this Layla pillow can be adjusted to ensure the head remains aligned with the spine. Back sleepers will probably want to remove about 1/3 to 1/2 of the original filling to achieve their preferred firmness and loft.
Stomach sleepers typically require a low-loft pillow, and by removing most of the fill, the Layla Memory Foam Pillow can be customized to provide a flatter surface.
We always recommend storing the fill you remove in a separate container to use in case your preferences change, or as wear and tear changes the responsiveness of the memory foam filling.
Since the pillow’s firmness is modifiable, it caters to sleepers with different comfort preferences. Whether you like a soft, medium, or firm pillow, the Layla Memory Foam Pillow offers personalized support.
Temperature Regulation & Cooling Technology
One of the biggest advantages of the Layla Memory Foam Pillow is its temperature-regulating properties. Unlike traditional memory foam pillows, which tend to retain heat and encase your head and neck in it, this pillow incorporates several cooling features that work together to help you sleep comfortably.
Cooling Features:
Shredded Memory Foam – Unlike solid memory foam, shredded memory foam allows for plenty of airflow within its filling, reducing heat buildup.
Gel-Infused Memory Foam Liner – The polyester-backed gel infusion helps pull heat away from the head, preventing overheating. This is a material often used in mattresses, which works really well for hot sleepers.
Breathable Polyester Cover – The outer cover enhances air circulation, allowing heat to dissipate.
If you are a hot sleeper or live in a warm climate, the Layla Memory Foam Pillow is a great choice to stay cool throughout the night – we found it temperature neutral, which is a great plus at this price point.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance is essential for keeping your pillow fresh and long-lasting. The Layla Memory Foam Pillow is easy and convenient to care for, ensuring a hygienic sleep surface.
Washing Instructions:
Outer Cover: The outer pillow cover can be unzipped and quickly removed to wash in your washing machine. Simply unzip it and wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle, then dry on low tumble.
Inner Fill: The shredded memory foam should not be machine washed. Spot-clean the inner filling with mild detergent and air dry as needed, though there really shouldn’t be much of a need for it as the outer cover is quite thick on its own.
Fluffing: Though we did not notice a shift in the filling, you can regularly fluff your Layla Pillow to maintain its shape and loft.
We found it very easy to keep the Layla Memory Foam Pillow fresh and clean. It is a great pillow for the busy sleeper who likes to keep a clean pillow, especially in case of allergies or other health conditions.
Sleeping Styles
As its loft and firmness is fully customizable, we recommend the Layla Memory Foam Pillow to all sleeping positions. Here’s how it performs for each sleep style:
Side Sleepers: The adjustable loft ensures proper neck alignment and prevents strain. Simply leave a good amount of fill inside the Layla Pillow in order to align your head with the rest of your spine, depending on the size of your shoulders. Remove filling until your head no longer bend and you feel supported with limited pressure.
Back Sleepers: The pillow provides the right balance of contouring and support to keep the head elevated without sinking too much once you have removed 1/3 to 1/2 of the original fill. You are looking for the right amount of support and plushness, aligning your head with the rest of your spine, while enjoying mild contouring and plushness.
Stomach Sleepers: By removing most of the shredded memory foam, stomach sleepers can achieve a lower loft for ideal spinal alignment.
Thanks to its customizable fill, this pillow can be tailored to meet your specific comfort needs. It comes slightly overfilled to ensure every sleeper has a chance to customize the loft and firmness of his/her pillow.
Who Is The Layla Memory Foam Pillow Good For?
This pillow is an excellent choice for:
People who want an adjustable pillow that can be customized for loft and firmness.
Hot sleepers looking for a breathable and cooling pillow.
Side, back, and stomach sleepers, as the shredded memory foam allows for different loft preferences.

Layla Pillow Video Review
You can see how squishy it is in the video below.
New LAYLA Same Great Sleep Results! Because better sleep leads to a better person. In 2019 Layla released a new version of their Pillow. It has the same cover as the Layla Mattress and Layla Mattress Topper (which you can see in the video a bit further down). My favorite part is that it now has a zipper which has 2 uses:
- You can take some of the fill out if you like a less full pillow
- You can remove all of the fill and wash the pillow
I’m not sure which one makes me happier. My other Layla pillow is about a year and a half old now and I haven’t washed it. I have been crossing my fingers hoping that the copper-infused cover is keeping it clean. The old version of the pillow was a bit to full for me. It was perfect for watching TV but it raised my neck too much to make me happy when sleeping. The current Layla Pillow that I have has about 2 handfuls less filling than it did when they shipped it to me. For me that’s the perfect amount of filling, you get to choose your own comfort level.
Another thing to note is that the copper-infused CuTEC cover now has a hexagon shape rather than their previous cubert style. Don’t worry the important thing is the cover still feels amazing, and more importantly, cool.
Inside the pillow you will find a mixture of shredded 30% Kapok filling and 70% shredded memory foam.
Although it is a bit on the pricey side, it is an amazing pillow and I highly recommend that you check it out. They offer a 5 year warranty and a 120 Night trial period.
