Extra Slim Max Cool CarbonBlue Gel Memory Foam Pillow - 1.75 in

In this review the Extra Slim Max Cool CarbonBlue pillow is evaluated for people who sleep on their stomach or back and need a very low loft. The bottom line: this pillow is for anyone seeking an extremely thin, supportive memory foam option with active cooling-its 1.75 in height and CarbonBlue phase change coating deliver an immediate cool-to-the-touch feel while still providing neck cradling that can reduce morning neck pain. The removable, washable cover and clear activation instructions make it straightforward to get the cooling working after unpacking.

Key Features

• Ultra low loft: At only 1.75 in high this pillow is designed for sleepers who want something barely thicker than no pillow at all, keeping the head aligned for stomach and back positions.
• CarbonBlue cooling: The phase change material coating provides instant cooling relief and helps regulate heat throughout the night without a heavy gel layer.
• Supportive memory foam: The CertiPUR-US certified gel memory foam offers medium firm support that cradles the head and neck to help open airways and reduce pressure points.
• Washable outer cover: A zippered, cool-to-the-touch removable cover cleans easily in washer and dryer and is matched to the CarbonBlue surface for sustained cooling feel.
• Easy activation: The pillow includes a clear instruction to place it in front of a fan for 12-24 hours after opening to accelerate cooling and dissipate any new foam odor.

Who It's For

The Extra Slim Max Cool is best for stomach sleepers and back sleepers who need minimal loft to keep the neck in a neutral position. It also suits people who sleep warm and want an immediate cool sensation from a lightweight, breathable coating rather than a thick gel layer.

It is less appropriate for side sleepers who require more height and contouring, and for those who prefer a plush, fluffy pillow feel rather than the medium firm support of memory foam. People who need adjustable loft or a very thick pillow should look at taller models instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I activate the cooling?
Place the pillow in front of a fan for 12-24 hours after opening to cool the pillow after shipping exposure and to speed dissipation of new memory foam odor.

Is the cover washable?
Yes, the outer zippered cover is cool-to-the-touch and can be washed and dried to keep the pillow clean.

Is this pillow good for side sleepers?
Because the loft is only 1.75 in, it is not ideal for most side sleepers who typically need more height and contouring.
