My verdict on the Nest Easy Breather Pillow
I liked the original Easy Breather's soft, quiet fill and the ability to adjust its height. I removed roughly a gallon-size bag of filling because I prefer a flatter pillow; after that it felt right to me. If you want a fixed pillow with no setup, the loose fill and adjustment process are the trade-off.
These are my impressions of an older pillow, not a new test of every current Easy Breather model.
My original hands-on experience
The older pillow came generously filled. I found it easy to remove stuffing with little mess, and the resulting pillow felt soft, wide and cuddly. I liked being able to shift positions without moving the pillow as much.
My earlier comparison was with a shredded-latex Savvy Rest pillow I had used: that pillow's pieces seemed statically charged and made small popping sounds when I moved it. The Easy Breather fill I reviewed felt quieter to me. Those are subjective observations about the specific samples, not a laboratory comparison.
Watch my original 2015 comparison with MyPillow. These are the pillows I reviewed at the time; current versions may differ.

How to find your preferred height
- Open the pillow as directed and remove a small amount of fill.
- Try it on your usual mattress in your normal sleep position.
- Add or remove more fill until your head feels comfortably supported.
- Save unused fill clean and dry so you can reverse the adjustment.
I removed about a gallon-size bag because I like a flatter pillow. That amount may be wrong for someone else: shoulder width, mattress firmness and position change the space the pillow needs to fill. Side sleepers may want more loft, while stomach sleepers often prefer less.
