Coop Home Goods seem to be great at making pillows.
This pillow is perfect for those who want a luxury pillow with a great 5-year warranty.
The Eden Pillow is the best Top-of-the-line cooling pillow out there in my opinion. It comes with a Gusseted case which is made out of Lulltra Fabric
What is Lulltra fabric?
Lulltra fabric is a fabric derived from sustainable bamboo. That makes it very soft, and free from any harmful chemicals for a smooth experience.
The gusseted case on this pillow adds to the airflow and structure of the pillow, so no matter what positions you switch between, you'll stay supported all night
Pillows that are too high tend to strain your neck, while pillows that are too low tend to lack support. Both these problems will lead to neck problems leaving you feeling sore and drained in the morning.
However, thanks to the gusseted casing on this pillow, it allows you to fill extra filling into the pillow to adjust it to the perfect height for your needs. that will ensure you get the best sleep quality possible.
This pillow also has a Tremendous amount of positive reviews despite its high entry price!
That means that people who paid for a Premium pillow got what they expected
If that means anything, it means the pillow is indeed worth the cost. Otherwise, it would have been bombed with negative reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cooling pillows and pillows in General
How do cooling pillows work?
Usually, cold pillows come with an external gel layer, or less commonly, with a water layer.
Through the process of increased conduction, these work by absorbing body heat from your neck and face, and dispersing it onto the Gel layer or water layer, which makes you feel cooler.
Remember the feeling of touching metal?
The reason it feels cold is not that it is actually cold, It's because it Conducts heat really well, and steals heat from your body into the metal!
Pillows try and Imitate that process.
So the more conductive materials they manage to stuff into the pillow, The better it is at drawing heat from your body.
Do cooling pillows actually work?
They definitely do!
The same way metal will give you a cooling effect when you touch it, Manufacturers are mimicking that feature into the Pillows.
They don't use metal, but they use other conductive materials like Gel's that work very well by absorbing the heat.
After they absorb the heat off of your body, they work to effectively Disperse the heat.
The reason why normal pillows don't feel cool is because they aren't very conductive, thus they don't take away heat from your body.
Do you put pillowcases on cooling pillows?
No, You don't need to put a pillowcase on your cooling pillow. Especially if it's a Gel pillowcase.
The Gel pillowcases won't do any harm to your skin or body, and they will work better without having anything covering them.
However, if you want to use a pillowcase Make sure to use a 100% cotton pillowcase, that will help to allow airflow to the pillowcase and will let you benefit from the cooling Gel.
Cotton also washes easily.
How do I keep my pillow cool?
With these Chillows, or cooling pillows you won't have to worry about that anymore.
They are designed in a way that lets them stay cooler.
However, If you want an Extra cooling effect to your pillow then consider throwing it into the Fridge before you go to bed.
Just don't let it get too cold.
What is a Chillow?
A Chillow is a pillow that stays Chill. Chill-ow.
It is a fancy term used to describe the name of the cooling pillows.
Basically, a pillow that uses advanced technologies to help stay cold while your sleeping so you don't get too hot.
How long do Cooling pillows last?
It depends on the quality of the cooling pillow.
These cooling pillows tend to get pretty expensive. If you buy a Cheap one, you can't expect it to last you forever.
However, the medium-priced to high-priced pillows will give you an extended warranty of 5 To 20 Years Full warranty!
If that means anything, it means they expect the pillows to last longer than the 5-20 Years.
So depending on how well you take care of your pillow, It should definitely be lasting you 5 years +
How often do I need to Wash my pillows?
It is recommended by the Huffington post that you wash your pillow cover every three weeks in the washing machine!
The reason being is your body sheds tremendous amounts of skin and oil every day.
Even though you can't see it happening, every minute of the day we lose close to 30,000-40,000 Dead skin cells. Multiply that by 60 minutes in an Hour and you will get 2,400,000 Dead skin cells an hour.
Multiply that by 24 and you get a Whopping 57,600,000 Dead skin cells a day!
Let's say your face only produces 1 million of those as an example (even though it probably produces more)
That will account for 21 Million dead skin cells on your pillow in 3 weeks! That is exactly why it is recommended that you wash your pillowcases every 3 weeks.
I didn't even mention how much Oil your face and hair loose in a day.
Not to mention: Dust-mites? Those things feed off your skin and then also throw their feces out too! Yuck!
Still not grossed? The humidity build-up and oil-buildup cause tiny bacteria to grow on your pillows too.
Keep your Pillow hygiene optimal and your health will thank you.
How do I know when to replace my old pillow?
Does your old pillow look like this?
THEN Replace it, That should be obvious.
Otherwise, the rule of thumb is to replace your pillow every 2 years. However, Certain types of pillows that are easily washed, and have better quality will usually last longer than that.
And to know if it needs changing. Is it yellow? Is it still comfortable? Does it still provide support to your neck?
These are all things to consider.
And if you are looking for better sleep then getting a Chillow or a pillow that stays cool at night will definitely increase your sleep quality.
Are cooling pillows worth it?
If you think your sleep is important than Definitely!
Research shows that even mild heat exposure can keep body temperatures higher, alter time spent in the sleep stages, and make it harder for you to fall asleep and stay asleep.
So, Not only is it harder to sleep, but it also leads to lower sleep quality
One of the easiest researched ways to increase sleep quality is to sleep in a cooler room.
However, if you use a bad pillow, that pillow will cause your head to overheat. Not good! you want a pillow that keeps your head temperature perfect. That way you get the most efficient sleep possible!
The number 1 Thing Human-hackers try to achieve is Boost their sleep quality. Sleep quality is linked to the most possible benefits out of any other thing out there
It is estimated that those who report worse sleep often have higher rates of mortality, and are often less happy in their life.
Sleep is just as important as food for us mere humans. Unless you are some type of robot, you will benefit from greater sleep quality.
What is the best way to clean the pillows?
It depends on which pillow you bought. Some with gel covers only need wiping while others work with a Cold-hand wash in the washing machines.
Some pillows also allow you to wash them with hot water! Make sure to check the label on your pillow for the best practices on cleaning your pillows.
Also be aware that when getting cooling pillows make sure to stick to what the label says or you risk damaging the cooling gel inside.
