As Cool As Cool-Slumbers
When does a gimmick prove useful enough to be considered a feature?
Foam sleeping products have a persistent problem with temperature control. That is, they tend to get too hot. Manufacturers add all kinds of “cooling features” to combat this problem, but they are often mere hand-waves that fail to address the problem. Gimmicks, if you will.
It seems, however, like the “cooling gel” in these foam pillows actually accomplishes what it purports to. We sold them previously and those who bought them corroborate.
That gel layer really does make the back of your head stay totally cool.
Says one Meher.
The one I got for the cat has been mostly rejected. She will sit next to it, but not on it.
Says another, by which we can deduce (along with the well-known feline love of warmth) that the gel really does keep it cool. It’s no gimmick, it seems.
Don’t worry: If you’re trying to save money and are looking for another excuse to hit “Meh” instead of “Buy It,” we can help you. These pillows (like lots of these foam contour ones) are pretty small. So if you like to roll your head across vast swaths in the night, you will find them lacking.
But if you were looking forward to deriding the cooling gel as nothing but gimmickry, you’ll have to wait. Don’t worry, we sell products featuring useless gimmicks regularly. You won’t have to wait long.
