Price Analysis
Product Details
Vaverto cooling memory foam pillow - a firm gel foam pillow for about $35
The Vaverto Memory Foam Pillow is a firm, standard-size cooling pillow that costs about $35. It has 4.2 stars from about 9,500 Amazon reviews, which makes it one of the better-reviewed budget cooling pillows.
What you get
The foam is gel-infused memory foam with an open-cell structure. The gel helps the surface feel cool when you lie down, and the open cells let some air move through. The shape is contoured for neck and shoulder support. The foam is CertiPUR-US certified.
The cover is made from bamboo viscose. It comes off for washing, and it's a better fabric for hot sleepers than the polyester covers on many cheap pillows.
The feel
It's firm. Vaverto describes it as firm yet adaptive, but don't expect a soft, sink-in pillow. That's good news for side and back sleepers who want their head held up, and bad news for anyone who likes to squash their pillow.
Who it's for
- Side and back sleepers who want firm support on a budget
- Hot sleepers trying a cooling pillow for the first time
- A spare or guest-room pillow that's better than the basics
Who should skip it
Stomach sleepers, who need a much lower, softer pillow. And very hot sleepers: it's still solid foam, so it can't breathe like shredded foam or buckwheat. Gel's cooling effect fades once it warms up, as our cooling pillow guide explains.
Alternatives
If you can spend more, the Coop Home Goods Original Adjustable Pillow breathes better and you can change the height. The Cool Gel reversible pillow has a dedicated gel side and a medium-firm feel. For neck-specific options, see our best pillow for neck pain guide.
If you're still deciding between foam, down and buckwheat, our memory foam vs down vs buckwheat comparison covers support, heat and lifespan for each.
