The Cool Gel Memory Foam Pillow is designed with a reversible chassis to accommodate different comfort preferences. One side features a laminated blue-cell gel layer bonded to the foam, intended to act as a heat sink that provides an immediate temperature drop upon contact. The other side utilizes the native properties of the open-cell polyurethane foam, which provides standard contouring for those who do not require extra cooling.
The ergonomic curvature of this pillow is designed to fit the standard neck-to-shoulder ratios of most adults, helping to maintain proper spine alignment. Specifications show a high-density core that resists "bottoming out," making it particularly helpful for side sleepers who need consistent support. Because it is a solid molded foam, the loft cannot be thinned, so it is best suited for those who prefer a fixed, supportive height.
Tests indicate that the gel layer provides a temporary cooling sensation that lasts until the material reaches thermal equilibrium with the body. To help the pillow perform at its best, it should be allowed to decompress in a well-ventilated area for several days to allow factory scents to dissipate. Using a thin bamboo or silk cover is recommended to ensure the gel can effectively move heat away from the skin.
For those looking for a similar cooling effect in a much thinner profile for stomach sleeping, the Bluewave Bedding Ultra Slim provides a 2.75-inch height.
You can find this and other ergonomic sleep aids in our dedicated cooling gel pillows category.
