The Sleep Innovations Cooling Gel pillow is built with a dual-layer foam core, featuring a high-density polyurethane base topped with a layer of gel-infused memory foam. This solid core design is intended to maintain its shape at the perimeter, providing reliable edge integrity and support for side sleepers. The materials are CertiPUR-US certified, indicating they meet specific standards for content and durability.
The pillow's loft measures 5 inches, providing a consistent height that does not shift during the night. The top layer is coated with a cooling gel designed to provide a cooler surface temperature during the initial stages of sleep. Because the core is solid rather than shredded, it offers a firm feel that effectively supports the head and neck without sinking too deeply.
Users should plan for a ventilation period to allow the new foam scent to dissipate before use. As with many solid memory foam products, the material can retain heat once the gel layer reaches room temperature, so it performs best when paired with a breathable room environment. The 5-inch loft is a fixed specification, making it a sturdy choice for those who do not require an adjustable height.
To maintain the support level of the foam, it is best to use this pillow on a flat, supportive mattress surface. The solid core is designed to resist "bottoming out" even after long-term daily use.
If you are looking for a more specialized shape for neck support, the Comfyt Cervical Pillow offers a contoured "butterfly" design for targeted pressure relief.
