Tossing and turning in bed at night because you’re overheated is an all-too-familiar situation for many Americans. Many things can make you hot when you sleep – medical conditions, indoor temperature and heavy bedding included. But sleeping with a cooling pillow can make a huge difference. Cooling pillows help you sleep better by regulating your body temperature and keeping you cool and hence, comfortable. A cooling pillow nearly instantly lowers the temperature around your head, neck, and shoulders. They help you fall asleep faster and sleep more uninterruptedly, which can lead to feeling more refreshed when you wake up. Cooling pillows also have:
Sleep Health Benefits: Overheating is known to disrupt your REM cycle, which is vital for cognitive functioning. A cooling pillow helps you maintain a healthy body temperature to promote better REM sleep.
Skin Benefits: A cooler sleeping environment can reduce night sweats, which lead to acne and other skin issues.
Cost Benefits: Using a cooling pillow costs a lot less than pumping up your air conditioning.
Cooling pillows work by wicking away moisture, dissipating heat, and increasing airflow. Some cooling pillows use materials like silk or bamboo, which are naturally breathable and good at cooling. Others use cooling gel, which can help prevent your mattress from retaining heat. If a pillow is labeled cooling, it basically means it wicks away moisture, dissipates heat, and promotes increased airflow.
The wrong pillow can trap body heat and limit airflow, making you roast when you should be asleep instead. Don’t be a victim of sleep heat! Here are some of the top cooling pillows available:
