Head-to-head
Both are memory foam; that is where the similarity ends. One is a bag of adjustable pieces, the other a single soft slab at a fixed low height.
The short answer
Choose the Coop Original if you sleep on your side, need to set your own height, or want to adjust as your preference changes. Choose the TEMPUR-Cloud if you sleep on your back or stomach and want a low, extra-soft solid pillow that conforms evenly with nothing to configure. The Coop is versatile and adjustable; the Cloud is refined and fixed. Both run warm.
Coop Sleep Goods
Best for: Sleepers who have struggled to fit fixed-height pillows and are willing to adjust the filling.
Trade-off: Height you set is not comfort you are promised — and shredded foam needs attention.
Tempur-Pedic
Best for: Back and stomach sleepers who want a plush, low, solid pillow.
Trade-off: Heat and a fixed low loft.

When each one wins
The SleepOriginal verdict
Position decides it. Side sleepers need the Coop's adjustable height; back and stomach sleepers are usually better served by the Cloud's low, even softness. If you switch positions, the Coop adapts and the Cloud does not.
Questions
Different, not better. Solid TEMPUR conforms evenly and holds shape; shredded foam can be adjusted and washed but settles. Which you prefer is about feel and position, not quality.
