Dreamfinity Cooling Gel & Memory Foam Pillow

I bought this pillow about a month ago and I've been using it the whole time. I had read various reviews criticizing these pillows for being even hotter than normal pillows, so I wasn't sure if it would be any good. It works just as intended, and it's great. The smell they warn you about was really mild. If I hadn't been warned I probably wouldn't even have noticed it.It comes with its own mesh breathable pillow case, but I took that off and just used a normal one, and it hasn't had any negative impact. The memory foam is a very soft (a little softer than I would like). The cooling gel really does feel cool to the touch. It's only on one side, so my girlfriend can use it too (her head gets cold). The pillow seems to be holding up very well. It's a little thinner than a normal pillow, and a lot heavier, but it's definitely thicker than other memory foam pillows I've seen.The cooling gel is a novel feeling, bordering on weird. When you first lay your head on the pillow, it feels remarkably cool, even cold. As it adjusts to your temperature, it feels sort of like the pillow is wet or something, I can't really describe it. It took me a few nights to get used to it, but I really like it.Now, what this pillow can't do: cool you down if it is really hot. If your room is 90 degrees, you are not going to be comfortable, despite having a "cooling" pillow. It is a pillow that feels cool, not a refrigerated pillow. If you want a cooling pillow because you have an uncomfortably hot room, use common sense and do not buy this. It will not help. If you expect a item sitting in a hot room to magically cool off, waste your money on something else.

This pillow is still under testing and I will update review accordingly in next few days. Here is what I have so far:Pros:1) Pillow is EXTREMELY soft. It really is and feels very nice and comforting.2) Pillow has no virtually odors out of the box. The box is nice, as comes very protected and not in a plastic bag.3) Not as expensive compared to others seen. There is a Hydrolux pillow here that is like 50-bucks+ and this one has SAME cooling surface made by Hydrolux (also sold on Amazon), and it is considerably cheaper! LOLCons:1) Pillow is VERY thin, definitely NOT 4" thick as shown here. It is more like 2" - 3" tops. This may pose a problem for proper neck support and it seems now that I have to add a 2nd thin pillow below it (keeping the green surface towards my head) because I am a side sleeper and this is WAY to thin.2) It is a bit expensive for me to have to add 2nd pillow below it to have decent support/height, so that is a con.3) Cooling surface does not stay cool all night, of course. But it helps a bit to help fall asleep in 20-30mins before it warms up to your normal body temp.4) Not washable, so Lysol is as good cleaning as you can give it. :-/Thoughts so far (to be updated):This is not as expensive as some other pillows and it is extremely soft, which is nice. The only pillow system I know that will stay cool all night is SelectComfort with the material that runs either cool or hot air through pillows and mattress, but these cost like $ 3 Grand, so this is as good as it gets in its price range.Will update more later this week after a few more nights of sleep. :)3 WEEK UPDATE OF PILLOW NIGHTLY USE:After 3 weeks using the pillow, I had no choice but to buy a cheapie & thin 5-buck pillow at local store to place under this pillow. I have broad shoulders and I am a side-sleeping male, so the lack of thickness of this pillow and the fact that it is very soft (head sinks into it) formed me to do this. That is disappointing of such an expensive pillow (I am used to $15 pillows max).As for the cooling features, as stated before, it is cool for no more then 10-20minutes. Maybe I am just now used to it, but the cooling gel area seems much less effective as of late.All in all, it is a nice pillow if you sleep on your back. It is very soft and comfortable, but cannot be used by side sleepers, unless you are a 90lbs female. Males should take note and have a small pillow to place under it and test, as might have problems with neck and lower back pain if the two-pillow set-up is either too high and will have shoulder pain if 2-pillow set-up is not used.I reduced star rating from 3 --> 2 due to the fact that it is not a standalone product and price-usefulness has hurt its rating.

I started a new medication recently that gave me drenching night sweats. I decided to purchase a cooling pillow and went online to research the assortment of pillows. My first choice was the chillow, but after reading the reviews for it I decided that it would not last very long for me. I have a 25 pound VERY affectionate Mane Coon cat that sleeps with me and shares my pillow. He is not declawed! He will lay on my pillow and hug my head using those razor sharp claws of his, and knead my pillow. So far he has not damaged the cooling section of this pillow, and I hope he never does! As for the pillow, it is VERY comfortable, also very cold when you first lay your head on it. I imagine the cooling effect would last much longer than 15 minutes if you do not have to "share" it with an oversize cat, but if I wake up, I just flip it around from top to bottom, and I have the cooling effect again!! My sweats have been GREATLY reduced by using this pillow, and I have been getting a better nights sleep. (The cat however keeps getting up to sleep on the chair in front of the fireplace!!) A win, win for me!!

First let me say this is a good pillow. It is comfortable, but the reason I bought it was to stop the constant pillow flipping. I bought two at once, don't do that. Get one to see if it meets your needs. If you're a deep sleeper, and fall asleep quickly, this pillow is ideal for you. If however you are more like me, a light sleeper with hormonal hot flashes, it's not such a great deal. The cooling effect is wonderful, but short term. The worst thing is, once it warms up, it keeps that part of the pillow warm like a thermal carafe does coffee. I still end up flipping my pillow several times a night, which can be really annoying for your partner. Again, it's soft and comfy, but just doesn't live up to the hype.

I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. I personally wasn't a fan, I prefer a more flat pillow and this does not do that, it seems to stay stiff. It is cool though, which is it's purpose. When I took it out of the box it felt greasy, which was a little gross and has left stains on pillowcase but no major issues.
