Bamboo is Better sells its Adjustable Cooling Pillow as a gel-infused shredded memory foam pillow with a bamboo-derived cover and a price that sits in the mid-range. The pitch is straightforward: adjust the fill, sleep cooler, and avoid the synthetic feel of a budget polyester cover.
On paper it competes directly with the Coop Original and the Snuggle-Pedic Ultra-Luxury. The differences are in the trial length, the warranty, and the specifics of the cover knit.

Cooling design
The gel-infused shredded foam and bamboo cover are the cooling story here. Gel infusion is not a guarantee of a cold pillow — it mostly slows heat buildup rather than pulling heat away — but the shredded construction and breathable cover do help air circulate better than a solid memory foam block.
Owner feedback generally describes the cover as smooth and cool to the touch on first contact, which is a nice short-term win even if the pillow eventually warms like any other foam pillow.
Adjustability and support
Like other adjustable shredded-foam pillows, you unzip the liner and remove fill until the loft feels right. Side sleepers tend to keep more fill; back sleepers remove a handful or two. The foam pieces are small enough that the pillow still molds around the head without feeling lumpy once fluffed.
Build and care
The cover is removable and machine washable. The foam core is spot-clean only. The 30-night trial is shorter than Coop's or Snuggle-Pedic's, and the one-year warranty is standard for the price range.
