Pharmedoc Contour Memory Foam Pillow With Cooling Gel Technology
If you like your pillow more dense than fluffy, this model—which has more than 1,000 four-star reviews on Amazon—should be on your radar. The gel panel diffuses heat as you sleep while the contoured shape helps to reduce neck and shoulder pain. As one purchaser raved, “I never thought I'd find myself missing my pillow when I travel, but I do. I really, really do.” The people have spoken.

Smart Temp Pillow Cases
When you find a pillowcase designed by NASA, you can bet it’s good. These cases’ Outlast fabric technology was developed to regulate temperature in space but works just as well controlling your heat flow here on Earth.

Xtreme Comforts Hypoallergenic Bamboo Shredded Memory Foam
Memory foam filling means this pillow won’t flatten or lose shape as you sleep. That’s awesome in and of itself, but the real magic is in its Kool-Flow bamboo fabric. With micro vents for breathability, it helps increase air circulation, which regulates your temperature for a cool, peaceful sleep.
