The Elegear Q-Max 0.45 pillowcase is engineered for those who require immediate heat dissipation. The cooling surface uses Japanese Arc-Chill fibers made from a blend of mica nylon and polyethylene. This material has high thermal conductivity, which provides a noticeable "cold to the touch" sensation when you first lie down. The dual-sided design features the cooling weave on the top and a soft cotton on the bottom for standard use.
Specifications indicate that the cooling effect is most prominent when the room temperature is kept moderate, as the fabric uses the surrounding air to help reset its thermal capacity. The inclusion of a hidden zipper prevents the pillow from sliding out and protects the sleeper from metal edges. Because the cooling polymers can be sensitive to heat, it is recommended to air dry these cases or use a very low tumble setting to ensure the longevity of the cooling properties.
Summary: An effective conductive cooling aid that excels at providing an immediate temperature drop, best used in conjunction with a fan for maximum efficiency.
For a version with an even higher cooling rating, the Avolare Q-Max 0.5 cases offer similar technology with slightly higher heat-sink capabilities.
