I slept on this pillow for over a week before writing this review.
First, I’ll get into the cooling: I have “slept warm” my entire life, and have been buying cooling pillows/covers since they were a thing. I bought this pillow to replace a very good cooling pillow from another company, and I am extremely happy with this purchase. My previous pillow (as well as all of the other ones I tried) would basically operate like this: you lay your head down on the pillow, it feels cold for about 20ish minutes (usually long enough to fall asleep), and then if you wake up in the same position, that part of the pillow now feels *hot* and you have to either move to a different part of the pillow or rotate it. They function decently, but if you find yourself waking up, the pillow will now feel warm and uncomfortable, which means you have to do something to feel cool again.
With this pillow, the pillow feels *cold* for only a minute or so, but it *never* feels hot, or even warm. Basically, it stays “cool” (another way to describe it is, the temperature feels extremely comfortable and never feels warm or uncomfortable in any way what so ever) the whole night through. I don’t know how they’ve done it, but this is much more preferable to a pillow that feels “cold” for only 20 minutes or so and then feels so hot that you absolutely have to move to another part of the pillow or rotate the pillow to feel comfortable again.
So, this pillow really does stay cool the entire night through. This needs to be the “default” for how they make cooking pillows from here on out, because I really can’t go back to the former methods, where they eventually get hot and uncomfortable.
Next, the comfort. I absolutely love it. I am 6’1” and a side sleeper, but I’ve never felt comfortable with high profile pillows. This pillow (the Lo version) feels perfect for me and my height, sleeping on my side. It also feels perfect sleeping on my back. The very edges of the pillow feel a little more firm than the middle of the pillow, so using the edges for side sleeping and the center of the pillow for sleeping on your back, feels great. I have no pain whatsoever so ever, only comfort.
I hope to get many years out of this pillow, and I hope they keep making this “type” of pillow from here on out. The cooling factor is amazing and the height/comfort really works for me. I’m very happy I took a chance on this pillow, and I hope this review helps anyone who is in doubt.
