I'm a heater. Hubs thinks I may internally combust at some point. Kenzie seems to have gotten this quality from me and gets sweaty head. I was super excited to try the Polar Pillow for better comfortable rest. First of all, this is a heavy pillow (about 15 pounds). Flatter than norm and cool to the touch. Kenzie immediately claimed it as her own and lugged it onto her mat.
I was a bit hesitant that because the pillow was a bit flat in height I would not have enough support. However, after using it for a few nights (and having it taken over by Kenzie in the middle of the night) I have not experienced any neck pain at all. Quite the contrary, I believe the "cooling" effects have made sleeping a more pleasant experience. I admit I used to be a chronic pillow flipper throughout my childhood - the feeling of a cool pillow was a must! Kenzie is easily able to put half of her body on the pillow and stay cool throughout the night without sweaty hair/head.
(Kenzie asked me to take her "piture" and proceeded to hide her face with the giraffe - silly gal)
The feeling itself is equal to placing your head on a waterbed (Yes I did have one growing up and it was a pain to change/condition the water). The Polar Pillow is designed to keep cool for 2 hours at a time with an approximate "re-energizing" period of 15-20 minutes. I did not feel the need for re-energizing during the night as I was sound asleep without notice of the change in temperature.
In summary, the Polar Pillow is great for those who have trouble sleeping and are uncomfortable because of high body temperatures. I am going to be ecstatic in having this pillow especially in the summer when temperatures are in the 100's!

I learned that Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported that a primary cause of insomnia is hyperactivity in the brain's frontal lobes at night. This activity increases the brain's temperature making it difficult to fall asleep. Cooling your head at night can help slow down this activity and allow your brain to rest.
