Ben here. I’m usually the first guy to roll his eyes at "As Seen on TV" sleep products. They often promise the moon and deliver cheap foam. But you guys keep asking me about the Angel Sleeper Pillow by Copper Fit, specifically the commercials claiming it fixes everything for side and back sleepers.
So, I bought one. No freebies here. I ordered the standard size ($40) to see if it deserves a spot on your bed or if it’s just marketing fluff.
The Yawnder Verdict
Is it worth it? Maybe. If you are a back sleeper or a petite side sleeper on a budget, it’s a decent value.
The "Gotcha": If you have broad shoulders (like me), this pillow is a hard pass. It physically lacks the loft (height) to fill the gap between your ear and the mattress, which is a recipe for neck pain. For the same price, I’d point you toward more substantial options.
My Score: 7.2/10
Unboxing: Better Than Expected?
I expected a chemical smell and a long wait. To my surprise, the shipping—which they warned would take 3 weeks—arrived in 4 days. Underpromise and overdeliver? I can respect that.
It wasn't vacuum sealed, which is rare these days. This meant zero off-gassing time. You can literally sleep on it the night it arrives. It comes in a reusable zippered pouch, which is a nice touch for storage.
The unique "butterfly" shape is designed to accommodate your arms.
The "Science" vs. My Experience
At my showroom in Encinitas, I tell everyone: Alignment is king. If your spine isn't straight, you aren't hitting deep sleep.
The Angel Sleeper uses a dual-sided design:
- The Shallow Side: Supposed to be for side sleeping.
- The Sloped Side: Designed to cradle the neck for back sleeping.
The Back Sleeping Test
I track my Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and sleep stages religiously. When I used this for back sleeping, my numbers held steady. The slope actually feels great—it supports the cervical curve without pushing your head forward. If you snore or have mild apnea, this posture can sometimes help open the airway.
The Side Sleeping Fail
Here is where it fell short—literally. I have a bigger frame. When I rolled onto my side, the pillow compressed too much. My head dipped, straining my neck muscles. To get comfortable, I had to put my arm under the pillow to prop it up, which cuts off circulation. If you are broad-shouldered, this is not the "Angel" you are looking for.
You can see the loft is relatively low, especially on the edges.
Under the Hood: Materials & Maintenance
The cover is removable and machine washable, which is non-negotiable for hygiene. It unzips easily from the bottom.
The core is a squishy, closed-cell memory foam.
The Foam: It looks like a standard molded memory foam. It’s "squishy"—technical term—but lacks the high-density responsiveness of a Tempur-Pedic. However, for $40, it’s acceptable.
Copper Infusion: They claim the copper-infused cover reduces odors. I can’t verify the microbial science in my showroom, but it stayed fresh during my testing period.
Pros & Cons Breakdown
What I Liked
- Great cervical support for back sleepers
- No chemical "new foam" smell
- Arm cutouts are clever for "pillow huggers"
- Price point is very accessible ($40)
What I Didn't Like
- Too thin for average/broad side sleepers
- Return policy fees (shipping + restocking)
- Foam is soft; lacks heavy-duty support
How It Stacks Up (The Competition)
Before you pull the trigger, here is how the Angel Sleeper compares to what we typically see winning awards at Yawnder.
| Pillow Model | Price | Best For... | Ben's Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angel Sleeper | ~$40 | Back Sleepers / Petite | Good value, but specific fit required. |
| Coop Home Goods Eden | ~$80 | Everyone | My top pick. It's adjustable, so you can make it fit your shoulders. |
| Tempur-Pedic Neck | ~$89 | Neck Pain Relief | Much firmer. Better for serious orthopedic issues. |
| Sleep Innovations | ~$40 | Budget Contour | Similar to Angel, but lacks the copper marketing. |
Ready to try it?
If you fit the profile (Back sleeper or smaller side sleeper), it's a safe buy—but I recommend using Amazon for the smoother return policy just in case.

The Copper Fit Angel Pillow is a memory foam pillow infused with copper. It's designed with a unique butterfly shape to cradle your neck and head for better support and alignment.
It uses a specific contour shape to align the spine, while the copper-infused cover is marketed to reduce odors and bacteria. The memory foam adapts to your pressure points, although I found it works best for back sleepers.
The primary benefits are cervical support (neck relief) and the hygiene factor of the machine-washable, copper-infused cover. It's also hypoallergenic.
It is best suited for back sleepers and petite side sleepers. If you have broad shoulders, the loft may not be high enough for side sleeping.
Yes, the cover zips off and is machine washable. You cannot wash the memory foam core itself.
At around $40, it is a low-risk investment compared to $100+ premium pillows. If you fit the specific sleep profile (back sleeper), it is good value.
