The GhostBed GhostPillow Gel Memory Foam Pillow proves that effective cooling technology can be accessible. It combats the heat-retaining reputation of memory foam with a sophisticated, multi-layered approach. At its center is a perforated core of gel-infused memory foam, which helps draw heat away from the body. This core is then wrapped in a layer of phase-change material, a substance that absorbs and releases heat to maintain a stable temperature. An inner aerated mesh layer further promotes airflow. The culmination is a pillow cover that delivers a distinctly and reliably cool-to-the-touch sensation, a quality noted to endure even after extended use.
The pillow provides a medium-firm feel with solid contouring support, suitable for back, side, and combination sleepers. Its solid block construction means it retains its shape without needing fluffing, offering consistent support night after night. The removable cover is machine washable on a delicate, cold cycle. Where this pillow truly shines is in its value proposition, offering a high-performance cooling experience at a price point significantly lower than many premium competitors. This is backed by consumer-friendly policies including a lengthy 101-night trial period and a five-year warranty, making it a low-risk, high-reward option for hot sleepers on a budget.
