…Cooler Than The Other Side of The Pillow…
Are you a pillow flipper? I am. I usually flip to the ‘cooler side’ of the pillow at least two times a night which is not very good since it interrupts my sleep. But, it feels so good when I lay my face down on that cool material. Why is the other side of the pillow so cool anyway? I would think it would be warm but, that’s a question for another day.
Today’s question is what if your pillow stayed cool through the night and you didn’t have to flip it at all? Well, that’s what PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat is meant to do. Does it work?
I have to admit, when I first received the PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat I thought it would be an extra added chore to put it in the refrigerator first to then remember to take it out and place it on your pillow before bed but, it turns out that you don’t even have to put it in the fridge. That is an option if you want to get it cooler but, for the most part the material is cool to the touch at all times.
The PolarGelCool Pillow Mat comes with two straps to secure it on the pillow so you don’t have to worry about it sliding off or bunching up in your sleep if you’re a wild sleeper. I secured my mat on my pillow the first night and hit the sack.
The first time I tried it was during colder weather here in New York City. The pillow did stay cool through the night. It was perfect. It felt good to be warm yet, to still have that cool touch to my skin and face. Best of all, I didn’t have to flip my pillow over during the night. The sturdiness of the mat also kept the pillow firm which was an added bonus.
Most recently the weather was warmer and it still did the job.
Is it cool enough?
It’s as cool as the other side of the pillow. For me it’s cool enough without having to put it I in the fridge or freezer but, I’m the type of person that sleeps with quilts in the summer and prefers a fan to air conditioning. For someone that really like that super cool feeling I would recommend putting it in the fridge or freezer for a bit before heading to bed.
The PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat is a decent size at 12″ x 22″ so it fits on small and extra-large pillows just right. Now for you people with Shaq size pillows, first why? Just kidding, but, the mat will be centered and a bit short of the edges.
The PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat folds easily so you can take it with you when you travel but, I’d just recommend getting a second one to keep in your suitcase.
Oh, I almost forgot, the mat comes with a free cooling scarf as a bonus. If you’ve never used one of these you’re going to love it. You wet the cloth and it serves as a nice cool compress that can be used for headaches or to cool you off on a hot day during and after a workout.
You can purchase your PolarGel Cool Pillow Mat with bonus cooling scarf on Amazon.com for $32.97. Hope you enjoy and stay cool!
