I gave this pillow to my husband since he always complains about his head getting hot at night, since he started using this pillow he does not complain about his head being hot anymore. It keeps his head cool all night, he likes that it is not too hard or too soft just perfect and very comfortable. I also like that this pillow is machine washable. We haven't washed it as yet but the pillow looks and feels durable and seems it would be perfect after washing. Overall this is a really GREAT pillow.
