Memory foam pillows are some of the best pillows you can get your hands on. Memory foam pillows provide contoured support to your head and neck and help relieve pressure and tension from your shoulders.

The comfort and support that memory foam pillows offer make them the go-to option for those suffering from back and neck pain.

GhostBed and MyPillow both sell some incredible memory foam pillows for fantastic prices. Whether you suffer from chronic pain or not, these pillows are designed to lull you to sleep quickly.

Both companies claim that their pillow is designed to support users from all weight classes and that anyone can use it regardless of what sleeping position they prefer. 

However, there’s are loads of other factors you must consider before buying any pillow. Other considerations like the pillow’s price, it’s durability, and warranty help you discern if the pillow is worth your money. 

In this post, we’ll compare the pillows the two companies have to offer and weigh out their pros and cons to help you see which one’s worth your money.

GhostPillow Vs. MyPillow

#1 Price

At first glance, it looks like the GhostPillow is pricier, and hence the MyPillow Premium pillow will provide better value for your money. However, GhostPillow ships their products for free, and when you factor in MyPillow’s shipping charges, both the pillow’s prices level out.

Let’s get a bit specific to understand this better. You can purchase the GhostPillow for $85 flat since there are no shipping costs. On the other hand, the MyPillow Premium pillow comes in at $69.78 (for Queen sizes, Kingsize costs $10 extra).

But when you factor in the shipping costs, both the cushions cost about the same. 

The GhostPillow feels like it supplies more value for your money at face value since it features performance material that keeps you cool throughout the night. Also, its plush pillow cover (that obnoxiously showcases the logo) feels better to the touch than the MyPillow’s ordinary cotton cover that you cannot remove. 

Looking further into the construction of the pillows should help us decide which pillow is truly the better option.​

#2 Size, Construction, And Durability 

The GhostPillow is only available in the Standard size, whereas the MyPillow Premium pillow comes in two sizes: Standard and King. 

Nonetheless, you must note that the MyPillow Standard (Queen) size pillow seems to be much smaller than other pillows of the same size. We’re not sure why it is smaller, but the difference in size is clear and may have something to do with the shredded foam becoming bunched up and reducing the loft.

The GhostPillow has much more loft and feels like it could conform to all weight classes since it’s about 6-inches thick. Resting your head on one of these should keep you comfortable through the night. 

Since the MyPillow Premium pillow is only about 2-inches thick, calling it lofty and fluffy will be an overstatement.

The MyPillow website touts its patented three-piece interlocking fill; however, the use of rudimentary shredded foam is apparent. When you order the MyPillow Premium pillow, you can pick the fill level you require. However, properly fluffing up the fill can be a challenge in and of itself. 

MyPillow instructs you to place the pillow in the dryer for at least 15 minutes before use to achieve optimum loft. Although the cushion is machine-washable and dryable, there are no alternative solutions provided for those who live in an apartment and do not have a washer or a dryer.

GhostBed also impresses with its patent-pending cool burst technology and boasts quality gel memory foam coupled with an aerated phase top layer. Not only is the GhostPillow cool and comfortable, but it is also durable, and pops right back into form after you use it. 

The quilted cover is a nice touch – it gives the pillow a finished look, and since it's removable, it enables you to keep the cushion clean with ease.​

#3 Comfort

Since both the pillows’ prices are the same, it is required that we find out which pillow is more comfortable to sleep on. The best pillow should be cool and comfortable, help you fall asleep quickly, and relieve you of any pain or stiffness you may have.

The MyPillow Premium pillow boasts a patented interlocking fill; however, the fill is sparse, and you will require to fluff it up each time you’re trying to sleep. On the other hand, the GhostPillow adjusts to the users’ body without needing any intervention or setup.

The exquisite design contours to your head and promotes proper alignment of the spine, even as you toss and turn and change position. The conforming support it provides relieves you of any pain or tension in the pressure points like the back or the shoulders.

Cooling plays a considerable role in the comfort factor of a pillow. Where the MyPillow Premium pillow does not make any efforts to help hot sleepers sleep cooler, the GhostPillow is specifically designed to reduce heat when you sleep. 

The GhostPillow’s aerated gel memory foam, coupled with the phase change material on the top, keeps the sleeper cool and comfortable. 

The GhostPillow is the clear winner in the comfort department, with it’s fluffy, lofty build and superior cooling technology.​

#4 Warranty 

The GhostPillow comes with an impressive 5-year warranty that protects the buyer from a faulty product. Your pillow will be replaced if it has a structural or design issue.

On the other hand, MyPillow offers a full 10-year warranty and will replace your pillow if it has material or workmanship defects. 

#5 Trial Period

Trying a cushion out for yourself will give a whole different depth of experience than reading a review will.

GhostPillow’s 101-night trial is one of the most extended pillow trial periods you'll find a company offering in the market. The company urges you to try their product for at least 30 nights before making your decision.

If you’re not satisfied with the pillow after 30 nights, you can ship it back to the company and receive a full refund. 

The MyPillow Premium pillow comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the pillow, you can ship it back to receive a complete refund. 

You must keep in mind that you will only be refunded the cost of the pillow, and you must bear the cost of shipping.​

Overview

Although the GhostPillow may not have a patent yet, it features superior cooling technology that makes the soft pillow even more comfortable. It comes only in one size, but the cushion is large enough to support most users. 

Also, price-wise, you may need to spend a bit more than you would with the MyPillow Premium pillow. However, the GhostPillow offers excellent support, and it’s worth every penny.

The exceptional 5-year warranty and the 101-night money-back guarantee only make the GhostPillow more desirable than the MyPillow Premium pillow.
