Cooling Pillows

Three cooling pillow constructions. Find the one that fits how you sleep.

Cooling comfort is not just about a cold-touch surface. Airflow, moisture management and pillow support work differently across materials. Compare our breathable, adjustable and pocket-spring designs before choosing.

Choose by feel and construction

These three pillows approach airflow and moisture management differently. Choose the support feel first, then compare the fabric technology.

ADJUSTABLE FILL +3D MESH

AirCool Flex Cooling Pillow

Best if you want to change the height. Removable shredded memory foam and fiber filling lets you adjust loft and softness. 3D air-mesh sides encourage airflow; its cool-touch surface is designed to manage heat and moisture.

Construction: shredded memory foam + fiber fill
Adjustment: removable / addable fill
Trade-off: takes some trial and adjustment

POCKET SPRINGS + COOLMAX FABRIC

Viscospring Coolmax Pillow

Best if you want structured support. Independent pocket springs and a memory-foam comfort layer provide a different feel from loose-fill pillows. Coolmax fabric moves moisture away from the surface, while the ventilated construction supports airflow.

Construction: pocket springs + memory foam
Adjustment: fixed construction
Trade-off: less adaptable than a fill-adjustable pillow

POCKET SPRING + MINERAL INFUSED FABRIC

Viscospring Zeolite Pillow

Best if you prioritize a fresher-feeling sleep surface. Independent pocket springs and a memory-foam comfort layer offer structured support. Zeolite-infused fabric is designed to help absorb excess moisture and reduce trapped odors.

Construction: pocket springs + memory foam
Adjustment: fixed spring construction
Trade-off: moisture management is not the same as an instant cool-touch feel

A pillow that feels cooler on contact is not necessarily the one with the most airflow.

COOLING TECHNOLOGY

What makes a cooling pillow work?

Cool-touch surfaces can create an initially cooler sensation when you lie down.

Breathable mesh and ventilation channels are designed to let air move around or through the pillow.

Moisture-managing fabrics help move perspiration away from the contact surface.

None of these passive materials actively refrigerates your pillow. Actual comfort depends on room temperature, bedding, humidity and how you sleep.

Cooling pillow FAQs

Do cooling pillows actually work? Plus

The ones with structural cooling do. Adjustable fill and pocket spring construction both reduce heat accumulation at the fill level — not because of a coating, but because of how the material or structure allows air to move. Surface treatments (gel coatings, cool-touch covers) provide a brief cold sensation but do not solve the underlying retention problem.

Do cooling pillows actually stay cold all night? Plus

Not necessarily. Passive cooling materials may offer an initial cool-touch feel, improve airflow or manage moisture. They do not actively keep a pillow at a fixed cold temperature.

Is a cooling pillow good for side sleepers? Plus

Depends on the pillow. The Spacepillow is the adjustable entry option — add or remove fill to get the height right for any position. The Viscospring Signature provides cooling through pocket spring construction and is specifically suited to side and back sleepers who need maintained height and neck support.

Can a cooling pillow help with night sweats? Plus

A cooling pillow reduces heat around the head and neck, which is one contributor to night sweats. It will not address night sweats caused by hormonal or medical factors — those require a different intervention. For heat-related night sweating that is not medically driven, a structural cooling pillow is a reasonable first step alongside breathable bedding.

How is Viscospring different from a standard memory foam pillow? Plus

A standard memory foam pillow has no air channels — the closed-cell structure retains heat. The Viscospring Signature has 60 independent pocket springs creating permanent air channels, and 2,000 micro-perforations through the memory foam layer. Heat dissipates rather than accumulates.

What is the difference between a cooling pillow and an adjustable cooling pillow? Plus

“Cooling” describes material properties such as a cool-touch surface, airflow or moisture management. “Adjustable” means you can change the pillow's height or feel. AirCool Flex combines adjustable filling with breathable mesh and a cool-touch surface.

Is gel required for a cooling pillow? Plus

No. Cooling pillow constructions may use moisture-managing textiles, breathable mesh, ventilation channels or other materials. Compare how the actual model is made rather than relying on the term “cooling”.

How do Zeolite and Coolmax pillows differ? Plus

Both use independent pocket springs and a memory-foam layer. The difference is the fabric: Coolmax is designed to move perspiration away and dry faster; Zeolite-infused fabric is intended to help absorb moisture and reduce trapped odors. Neither actively refrigerates the pillow.
