Sleepgram Pillow Review 2025: Is the 3-in-1 Design Worth It?
The Sleepgram Pillow exploded onto the scene with a viral promise: a 3-in-1 adjustable design that solves the "too high or too low" problem forever. But is it really the "pillow that stays fluffy," or just another microfiber pillow with good marketing? I cut it open, slept on it, and washed it to find out.
Verdict: The Sleepgram is an excellent choice for combo sleepers who want the plush feel of hotel down without the allergies. The 3-in-1 insert system works well, though it does require daily fluffing to maintain loft.
Bottom Line
If you struggle to commit to a single firmness, the Sleepgram is a safe bet. The ability to switch between Soft, Medium, and Firm by removing the inner pillows makes it versatile for guests or changing sleep needs. While it sleeps a bit warmer than shredded foam, the 100% cotton cover keeps it breathable enough for most.

Design & Construction: What's Inside?
The Sleepgram isn't a single pillow; it's a system. The outer shell is a quilted, 100% cotton percale cover filled with soft microfiber. Inside, you find two removable pillows:
- Blue Tag Insert: Medium-soft fill.
- Red Tag Insert: Firm fill.
The fill is a siliconized microfiber down alternative. This mimics the feel of down (airy, squishy) but is hypoallergenic and cruelty-free. The zippers run the full length of the pillow, making it easy to swap inserts in seconds.
My Personal Experience
Unboxing & Off-Gassing
Like many bed-in-a-box products, the Sleepgram arrives vacuum-sealed. As you can see in the photo below, it comes out looking like a pancake.
However, unlike memory foam which takes hours to expand, the Sleepgram fluffs up instantly once you massage air into the fibers. There was zero chemical smell, which is a huge plus compared to foam pillows.
Sleeping Performance
Back Sleeping: I removed the Red (firm) insert and kept the Blue insert inside the shell. This provided the perfect cradle for my neck without pushing my head too far forward.
Side Sleeping: I used the fully assembled pillow (both inserts). It’s very high loft, which is great for broad shoulders, but I found I had to "chop" the pillow to keep the fill centered under my neck.
Temperature: Cotton percale is naturally crisp and cool, but microfiber fill can trap heat. I found it slept temperature neutral—not cold, but not sweaty.
Test Results
I rated the Sleepgram based on 30 nights of testing.
Note on Support: Because it is microfiber, it will flatten slightly overnight. You must fluff it daily to maintain the loft.
How to Configure the Sleepgram
| Mode | Configuration | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | Outer Shell Only (No inserts) | Stomach sleepers |
| Medium | Shell + Blue Insert | Back sleepers |
| Medium-Firm | Shell + Red Insert | Back/Side Combo |
| Firm/High | Shell + Red + Blue Inserts | Side sleepers with broad shoulders |
Sleepgram vs. The Competition
Sleepgram vs. Coop Home Goods
The Coop Original uses shredded memory foam, while Sleepgram uses microfiber. Coop is heavier, sleeps cooler, and provides more rigid support. Sleepgram feels much softer and more like a traditional luxury hotel pillow. If you hate the "lumpy" feel of foam, pick Sleepgram.
Sleepgram vs. MyPillow
MyPillow uses interlocking foam chunks that can feel chunky. Sleepgram is significantly smoother and the cover quality (percale cotton) feels much more premium than the basic cotton on MyPillow.
Price & Value
The Sleepgram standard/queen usually retails around $40-$60 depending on bundles. They frequently offer "Buy One Get One" deals or discounts on 4-packs.
Considering you are essentially getting three pillows in one, the value is high. The 100-night trial is generous for a pillow, lowering the risk of trying it out.

Is the Sleepgram pillow machine washable?
Yes! The entire pillow (outer shell and inserts) is machine washable. However, to prevent clumping, you should wash them on a gentle cycle and dry on low heat with dryer balls (or tennis balls) to re-fluff the fibers.
Does it go flat over time?
All down alternative fibers settle. The Sleepgram will flatten a bit during the night, but a quick fluff in the morning restores it. It does not degrade as fast as cheap poly-fill pillows.
Is it good for neck pain?
It can be. The ability to adjust the height is crucial for neck pain. If you find the fully assembled pillow too high (cranking your neck up), removing an insert can align your spine correctly.
What is the return policy?
Sleepgram offers a 100-night sleep trial. If you don't like it, you can return it for a refund. They also offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
