The Malouf Z Gel-Infused pillow uses a specialized "Dough" memory foam that is engineered to feel softer and more responsive than traditional high-density foams. This formulation allows the pillow to contour quickly to the user's head and neck without the stiffness often associated with memory foam in cooler room temperatures. The "Mid Loft" profile stands between 5 and 6 inches high, making it most suitable for average-framed side and back sleepers.
The exterior cover is made from Tencel Lyocell, a botanical fiber known for moisture management. While the gel-infused layer helps draw heat away from the surface initially, it functions as a passive heat sink rather than an active cooling device. Specifications indicate that the open-cell structure of the foam helps the pillow resist permanent indentations over time better than many budget-friendly alternatives.
Note: New foam products may have a noticeable scent upon unboxing; ventilating the pillow in a separate room for 48 hours is recommended for those sensitive to new material odors.
For those who prefer a longer, huggable format for full-body support, the Relax Home Life body pillow offers a similar focus on thermal regulation.
