Last January I wrote a post about the best pillow I have ever used. It’s called the Hydraluxe Cooling Bed Pillow, and if you aren’t familiar with it, go ahead and read my review. This pillow is SO awesome and keeps me SO comfortable at night, that we have been purchasing them as we are able, and now have 4 in our home.

We have replaced the majority of the bed pillows we own with this one model. Because it is JUST THAT AWESOME. So when Comfort Revolution reached out to me to ask if I would review a Hydraluxe Cool Case, which is basically a pillowcase with the cooling gel built in, I told them that I didn’t think I could help them since almost all of our pillows already have the cooling gel in them.

But then I was encouraged to think about one of the huge benefits of the pillowcase concept: portability! If you have a cooling gel pillowcase, you can take it with you any time you travel and enjoy that amazing, cooling sensation without having to pack your pillow. The pillow would take up a large chunk of a suitcase, but the pillowcase folds up nice and neat!

My first suggestion to you if you don’t own any Comfort Revolution products in the Hydraluxe line is to try the Cool Case. Start with this product because it is a bit less expensive, and you can see how you like the feel of it on a pillow you already own. Once you fall hopelessly in love with it, you can buy the pillow for your home, and then you’ll have the pillowcase on hand to either use on a second pillow, or to keep with your travel items for upcoming trips. Prices start at $19.99!

Hot at Night? How My Pillow Kept Me From Sweating

I usually sleep with 2-3 pillows. I think it feels terrible to sleep with just one! Anyone else feel that way, as well? I’ve been sleeping this way for years and years (as long as I can remember, actually). I’ve always thought that it was a more comfortable way to sleep, and so I have resisted changing that.

But Tim believes it is one of the reasons that my neck always hurts. I chalk my neck pain up to just getting older. But if I really think about it, I’ve had neck pain for probably 5 years or so. Hmmm….

In addition to my neck pain, I sometimes deal with getting hot while sleeping. We use down comforters, which are SOOO comfortable. But here in the South, temperatures can fluctuate and it can get warm at the drop of a hat. For example, last weekend a warm front came through and we had 2 days where temperatures were in the 70s.

In January!!!

But guess what? I slept like a baby rather than waking up sweating and hot. It’s all because of a new pillow I’m using (just one pillow, not three!). And you guys. I am in love. Big time. As in, I want to marry this pillow.

Comfort Revolution has a Hydraluxe Cooling Bed Pillow that combines memory foam and a refreshing gel layer that helps keep your head and neck nice and cool. If you ever deal with night sweats, this pillow will make them ancient history!

I’ve never slept on any sort of memory foam before. Basically the pillow cradles your head to give you great support. It feels nothing short of amazing. And as for the cooling gel, I was actually worried that it would feel uncomfortable this time of year. Would it leave me feeling cold? Because I don’t want to feel cold at night! But no, that was not my experience at all. It felt nice and cool, but not cold. It made me feel very relaxed and comfortable.

Tim also really likes the pillow. I usually wake up a few hours before him every day to start my work day. I have noticed that he makes use of my new Comfort Revolution pillow between my wake up time and his wake up time. Honestly, I don’t blame him Just look at the difference between our two pillows! His pillow is lumpy and the cotton inside isn’t evenly distributed.

The Hydraluxe Pillow by Comfort Revolution is a bit of an investment, costing $79.99 for a standard pillow (though it is currently on mega sale for $43 on Amazon! Eee!). I’m not one to spend a lot of money on much of anything. But after sleeping on this pillow for a week, I can say with confidence that I will NEVER be going back to cheap, crappy pillows. I have already put my old pillows in a donation pile and I am going to save up to get another one of these pillows for Tim. He deserves to get as good of a night’s sleep as I am currently getting.

Did I mention that my neck pain is greatly reduced? I don’t think 5 years of neck pain will disappear overnight, but I have noticed a significant improvement, which makes me SOOO happy!

I also think this would be a great pillow for anyone who lives in warmer climates. My in-laws live in the desert in Southern California. They should most definitely have this pillow. I actually think they should consider getting the Gel Pad for the entire bed. What an amazing difference that would make for sleep when the temperature is consistently in the 90s or higher, even at night!

I highly HIGHLY recommend this pillow for anyone who has trouble being comfortable at night, either due to being hot at night or due to having terrible pillows. It makes such a huge difference in how you feel throughout the day if you have had a great night of sleep. Between Layah starting to sleep through the night and replacing my pillow heap with this one, I feel like a different person.
