We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes making some final tweaks and strategic decisions—and here’s where things stand.
The Final Form
After carefully reviewing timelines, materials, and manufacturing feasibility, we’ve made a deliberate choice: Every backer will now receive the newest version of Combo Cube—Combo Cubed (3.0)—featuring modular layers for full adjustability.
Modular Stackable system
What does that mean?
Rather than one fixed foam block, your Combo Cubed will come with a base and a topper, allowing you to mix, match, and fine-tune your pillow’s height and firmness. You’ll be able to select from 4”, 5”, or 6” builds depending on what’s most comfortable for you—something we’ve never offered before. In the future, we'll offer different toppers, different risers with different firmnesses, features... it's going to be awesome.
Stacked version
This is a major leap forward. For the first time, you can customize your Cube not only by your sleep position (side, back, stomach), but also by height and density.
We’re calling it the Goldilocks Effect: Not too firm. Not too soft. Just right.
WHAT YOU'RE GETTING: 1x Base + 1x Combo Cube Topper = 1x 5" Combo Cubed
A Shift in Materials (And Why It Matters)
We’ve also made the decision to switch from molded foam to cut foam—and here’s why:
Consistency: Cut foam is poured into large blocks here in the USA, then precision-sliced. That means more predictable firmness, better quality control, and fewer surprises.
Comfort: Molded foam (especially from overseas) varies wildly depending on factors like temperature, humidity, and seasonal changes during production. We’ve had issues in the past with pillows feeling ridiculously firm and then the same product arriving just a few months later and having it be too soft. Same product. Same factories. Same production process yet different seasons. Totally different outcome.
Domestic Quality: By shifting to domestic foam cutting, we’re improving reliability, supporting local manufacturing, and reducing friction in our supply chain... especially with what's going on with Tariffs right now.
So while it might not look quite as polished when naked, cut foam is actually more expensive to produce and offers a better, more reliable feel over time.
The Cooling Component
Now, let’s talk covers.
Originally, we planned to include a quilted cooling shell, but after hitting production roadblocks and supply delays, we made the call to pivot.
That shell was a custom piece developed overseas, and with the shift to Combo Cubed’s new modular design, it no longer fits the model—literally or logistically.
Rather than delay shipping for another 3–4 months just to produce a shell that only works with the old version, we’re upgrading in a smarter way:
You’ll be receiving a free cooling pillowcase instead.
✅ Yes, it’s made with real cooling material.
✅ Yes, it feels amazing.
✅ And yes, it goes directly against your skin—exactly where you want the cooling effect to be.
This cooling case gives you more flexibility, works with all pillow configurations, and helps us get your Combo Cubed to you sooner without compromising the quality of your experience.
So… When Will I Get My Combo Cube?
We’re targeting 4 to 6 weeks from today to begin fulfillment. Here’s what’s happening right now:
We're finalizing timelines with our USA-based sewing partners for the updated shell and case
We’re confirming final financing and coordinating production across components
And we’ve baked in a small buffer to make sure we’re not overpromising
Barring unforeseen hiccups, Combo Cubeds will begin shipping within that 4–6 week window.
What’s Next?
Next week, we’ll send out a survey to collect final details—and provide add-on options to make it your preferred height (4", 5", 6"... heck you could do an 11" like Lebron James). This will help us ensure you're getting exactly what fits you best.
Keep an eye on your inbox. Filling it out quickly helps us stay on schedule.
Why These Changes Are Good News
This is both a pivot AND also an upgrade.
You’re getting:
A more personalized and adjustable Combo Cube
A more reliable and comfortable foam structure
A more functional cooling solution
And ultimately, the very first production run of our 3.0 model—months ahead of the public
We’ll also be using your feedback on this release to refine future versions of Pillow Cubed, and you’ll be first in line for what’s next.
