Most of my experiences with memory foam have been in hotels where I can keep the air conditioning on full blast and enjoy the arctic conditions I need for a rejuvenating sleep. However, if I use memory foam without any sort of climate control, my nights are anything but rejuvenating. I invariably end up moving around, kicking off the blankets, and wiping sweat from my face. Yet the siren song of memory foam combined with this product’s excellent reviews convinced me to try it. I was not disappointed.
PROS
- Stunningly cool
- Great support
- Durable
Memory foam is notorious for trapping heat, so I can only attribute this pillow’s consistent temperatures to some sort of wizardry. My bedroom has several large windows that trap the summer heat, yet cannot hold on to meager winter warmth. Despite heatwaves and humidity, this pillow is an oasis of comfort and coolness. It disperses heat so readily that, in winter, it is almost too cold to use. Ten minutes of laying down, though, is enough to warm it up and keep your ears from getting nippy.
I purchased the standard pillow – as opposed to the side sleeper or contour – because I sleep in whatever position is comfortable. No matter if I put it between my legs or rest my head on it, though, I never wake up with stiff joints. If you sleep a particular way, I am sure that the more customized options will not disappoint you.
I have also had my pillow for nearly a year now. By this point, every single pillow I have ever owned would have turned into an undifferentiated and lumpy mass of cotton or feathers. This one, however, is still holding its shape. I must admit that it is getting a little flat, but I feel like it definitely has a few more years left it in.
CONS
- Pricey at times
I have actually bought three of these pillows: a year ago for my new apartment, one as a housewarming gift, and one for my partner. Each time I paid between $35.99 and $48.10. I cannot quite grasp why this product’s cost varies by more than $10 when most other items I buy from Amazon go up or down by only a few dollars. With that in mind, I definitely would not think twice about snatching one of these up if the price is less than $40. Above that, it might be a bit of a splurge.
CONSIDERATIONS
- Buy more than one so you do not have to share
If you are sharing a bed with someone, do your relationship a favor and buy one for each person. I bought one for myself, but my partner loved it so much that he began stealing it – in addition to the blankets – from me at night. We quarreled for months over who would get to use the pillow until he pulled the aches-and-pains card to inspire my pity. Eventually, I just decided to get a second pillow for the bed. Spare yourself the trouble and get two at the same time.

Second time buyer. This is not the same weight 2014 model.
The second time in a week I have gone back through my order history, because I liked these products when I originally bought them, and reordered them! Should be simple right? Nope. The other item was a pair of pj pants that was not made from same material as the original.BUT this pillow I noticed the second the FedEx guy handed the box to me, it was not nearly as heavy! It isn't the same pillow(period.) I have to start all over again and find a company that hasn't cheapened there line. I guess that is what companies do, get some excellent reviews, get some sales under their belt and then cheapen the product. I will hesitate now just going back through my order history and reordering. Very sad! I doubt these are "advances" in memory foam technology! Just less material or cheaper material!UPDATE: "proofs in the pillow" This pillow weighs well under 2 lbs! This is less than the 3.6 lbs advertised in item description. I used a kitchen scale.
