Latex has a more responsive feel, and this prevented the pillow from sinking beneath the weight of our testers’ heads. Thanks to the use of breathable materials like cotton and latex, the pillow excelled in our temperature neutrality tests. We recommend this model if you tend to run hot or sweat at night. Material: Memory foam | Positioning Straps: Yes | Shape: Rectangle | Care Instructions: Machine washable cover What we liked: It perfects your posture and also comfortable corrects the posture when you can relax. Comfort: We used each pillow a minimum of 10 times over the course of two weeks, for at least 30 minutes at a time while either sitting or lying down. This allowed us to assess the comfort of the material the pillow was made from, including how soft or firm it was, and whether it became more or less comfortable with repeated use.

Importantly, you can use the headrest for cars, gaming chairs where you need support, or you feel uncomfortable. Make sure your head is supported: Get a pillow that’s comfortable and the right loft level for the new sleeping position you want. External: Chiropractic physician Eric Smith advises to make sure the material of your travel pillow is breathable and won't subject you to an overheated sleep, since one of the main reasons for moving around a lot as you sleep is getting too hot. "When your face gets too hot on one side, even if you're sleeping, you're going to move from it because it's too warm," Smith explains. You may choose from three different fill options, each with different performance features and firmness levels. The shredded memory foam fill has a medium soft feel, the shredded latex fill has a medium firm feel, and the wool fill has the firmest feel of all three. Latex and wool are both breathable materials that retain little heat, so hot sleepers may gravitate toward these fill materials. Foam retains more heat but excels at pressure relief, offering the deepest cradling of all three fill materials.

Memory Foam: Most lumbar support pillows are made with memory foam because it’s the perfect blend of soft and firm support. You should note, though, that memory foam’s overall firmness changes with the temperature: colder air will make it firmer, and warmer air will make it softer, while room temperature is best for medium support.

The pillow contains shredded memory foam, and you’ll receive an extra bag of fill to use as needed. The foam is infused with a cooling gel engineered to minimize heat retention. The outer cover is made with a breathable fabric blend of polyester and bamboo-derived viscose. You may machine wash the outer cover in cold water, then machine dry on a low-heat setting. The foam is encased in an inner cover that is also machine-washable, but you’ll need to remove all fill before washing. The pillow is applicable on occasions, and it can be suitable for outdoor furniture and reclining folding chairs. It comes in a portable size, which makes it easy to carry and use.Important Note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.
