The coolest pillows for hot sleepers

Posted by The Canningvale Team on 3rd Apr 2024

Are you looking for the coolest pillow to keep you comfortable all night long? You're not alone! Many of us have experienced the nightly ritual of flipping a pillow to the cold side, seeking that refreshing coolness. But why do pillows get so hot, and what makes one pillow cooler than another? Let's dive into the fascinating world of pillows and uncover the secrets behind staying cool and comfy while you sleep.

What is the Coolest Pillow Material?

The material of your pillow plays a significant role in determining how cool it stays throughout the night. Some of the best materials for cool pillows include:

  • Cotton and Bamboo Covers: These natural fibers are breathable and wick away moisture, enhancing the coolness of your pillow.

  • Memory Foam: Memory foam adapts to your head and neck for personalised support, and when infused with cooling gel, it helps dissipate heat more effectively.

  • Latex: Natural latex pillows are breathable and maintain a consistent temperature.

Why Do I Flip My Pillow to the Cold Side?

Flipping your pillow to the cold side is a common habit for many sleepers. The reason is simple: heat builds up on the surface of the pillow as it absorbs body heat, making it uncomfortable. Flipping it over exposes a cooler surface that hasn't yet absorbed your body heat, providing a refreshing sensation.

Why Is There a Cool Side of the Pillow?

The "cool side" of the pillow exists because one side has been in contact with your head, absorbing and retaining heat. The opposite side, having been exposed to the cooler air in the room, feels much cooler in comparison. This simple flip can provide instant relief from the discomfort of a hot pillow.

Why Does My Pillow Get So Hot at Night?

Several factors contribute to your pillow getting hot at night:

 

  1. Body Heat: Your head generates heat, which is transferred to the pillow
  2. Pillow Material: Some materials retain heat more than others.
  3. Lack of Airflow: Pillows that don't allow for good airflow trap heat, making them warmer.
