There is a direct relationship between temperature and sleep. A hot sleeping environment can ruin a good night of rest, especially if dealing with a sweaty pillowcase. Standard pillowcases retain heat and feel warm. You are constantly turning over to find the cool side for temporary relief. The best cooling pillows reduce sweating, overheating, and the general discomfort of sleeping hot.
While a cooling pillow can be more expensive than a regular pillow, we recommend it for a better night’s sleep. A cooling pillow is a type of pillow constructed to increase airflow and draw heat away from the body to prevent heat retention. They achieve this because they are infused with gel, graphite, or copper materials that help draw heat away from your body. They are typically made with cover fabrics like cotton or rayon, which are moisture-wicking and increase breathability.
