If you like memory foam pillows but find the regular options too hot, the Douglas Cooling Gel Pillow combines memory foam with cooling technologies. It also comes with one of the best at-home sleep trials available for pillows. 

While standard memory foam pillows tend to trap heat, this pillow from Douglas has a cooling gel pad to ensure you sleep cooler. The cooling effect is further enhanced by the CryoFusion™ cover, made with cooling ice yarn. 

The memory foam is high-density, which means the pillows are on the firm side. While it works great for side sleepers, some back or front sleepers may find it too firm. However, this is a personal preference. Luckily, you get 120 nights to try the pillows at home risk-free so if they do not meet your sleeping requirements, you can return them for a full refund. 

The Douglas Cooling Gel Pillows are suitable for vegans as they are made with 100% vegan materials. You can wash the cover in the washing machine. It is also dryer-safe for easy maintenance. The warranty for this pillow is three years. 

What We Learned

Many people find standard memory foam pillows too hot as they tend to retain heat rather than release it. To combat this, the Douglas pillow includes a cooling gel pad and CryoFusion™ cover to help with temperature regulation.
