The Coop Original Adjustable Toddler Pillow takes the pillow that made Coop famous and shrinks it to a 13x18 in toddler footprint, keeping the part that matters most for a small child: you can unzip it and pull fill out. That single feature solves the biggest problem with toddler pillows, which is that almost all of them are sold at one fixed height and a two-year-old and a five-year-old do not need the same loft.
It arrives fuller than most toddlers need. Coop includes the fill bag so you can go back up as your child grows, which in practice means one pillow covers the toddler bed years rather than two purchases.

Loft and why it matters for toddlers
A toddler's head is large relative to their body and their neck is short, so a pillow built for an adult pushes the chin toward the chest. Published dimensions put this pillow in the 2 to 4 in range depending on how much fill you leave in, which brackets the thin loft pediatric sleep guidance points toward for young children.
Start by removing about a third of the fill. If your child sleeps mostly on their back, take out more; a committed side sleeper can keep most of it in as they get closer to school age.
Materials and certifications
The foam is CertiPUR-US certified and the finished pillow carries GREENGUARD Gold, which is the specification most parents care about here because it covers chemical emissions rather than just foam content. The bamboo-derived Lulltra cover feels soft rather than crinkly, and it is the same cover fabric used on the adult Original.
Cleaning
Coop lists the pillow as machine washable, which is the right answer for anything a toddler sleeps on. Wash cold on gentle and tumble dry low; the shredded fill generally needs two dryer cycles to dry all the way through, so a second pillow or the toddler-size protector is worth having for the gap.
Cooling
This is the weakest category, as it is on the adult Original. Shredded foam breathes better than a solid block, but it still holds warmth under a child's head. If your kid sleeps hot or sweats through the night, the Cool+ toddler version with the phase-change cover is the better buy.
