Love the cooling gel - I took off the pillow case that comes with it and just used my own (for the standard pillow I’m using a king sized pillow case).

This way the cooling gel can be better felt. Such a blessing during the heat! My husband LOVES this pillow. He typically likes less firm pillows but after sleeping with this one he hasn’t woke up with neck/shoulder pain. 

In fact, my first order was just one pillow & he stole mine. I had to order a second.
