8 reasons why you should use a cooling pillow all year round - even in winter
As winter approaches and the cozy blankets are brought out, many people associate cooling pillows with the warmer months. You may be thinking it's time to swap your cooling pillow for a warmer one. But what if cooling pillows could provide useful benefits all year round?
In reality, cooling pillows are designed for year-round use and offer much more than just cooling down in the summer. Whether you want to sleep comfortably in winter or want to be protected from overheating at night despite thick blankets - these pillows are surprisingly versatile.
In this article, we present you 8 reasons why you should use a cooling pillow even during the cold winter months. We also present you one of our top products for cooling comfort: the Gorilla Gesund Orthopedic Neck Pillow Silver Neck Glacier - a cooling version of the Silver Neck Neck Pillow, our most proven product with numerous satisfied customers and the lowest return rate in our range.
1. Helps hot sleepers sleep comfortably all year round
For many people, it is difficult to maintain the right temperature while sleeping - even in cooler outside temperatures. Hot sleepers, who naturally give off more body heat, have a difficult time regulating their temperature, which can lead to restless nights and disturbed sleep. This challenge does not disappear even in winter. While blankets keep out the cold, they also retain heat, which can make you sweat at night.
A cooling pillow helps hot sleepers maintain a stable and comfortable temperature all year round. Cool polyamide fibers in pillows like the Silver Neck Glacier dissipate excess heat and provide pleasant relief from overheating, even when it's cold outside. This means you can sleep soundly without being woken up by excessive heat.
In winter we often tend to bury ourselves under blankets, which can lead to heat accumulation. With a cooling pillow, you create a balance between the warmth of your blankets and the coolness of your pillow, so you can rest better at night.
2. Temperature regulation in heated rooms
During the cold months, we often rely on heating systems to maintain a comfortable room temperature. However, this artificial heating can create a sleeping environment that is too warm for a restful sleep, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. Bedrooms can become stuffy, making it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep.
A cooling pillow offers the perfect solution. For example, the Glacier Cover of the Silver Neck Glacier Pillow is designed to dissipate heat and help regulate body temperature. When the heating in your home is on full blast, this pillow provides a refreshing cooling effect that balances the warmth of your bedroom.
Temperature regulation is the key to better sleep, and cooling pillows offer a simple, effective way to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature - even in heated rooms.
3. Prevents night sweats and overheating
Night sweats are often associated with hot, stuffy summer nights, but they can also occur in the winter. Factors such as stress, hormonal changes and medical conditions can cause night sweats, making it difficult to feel comfortable. For people who suffer from night sweats, it is important to stay cool and dry during the night, regardless of the season.
Cooling pillows, especially those with moisture-wicking materials, offer a practical solution. The Silver Neck Glacier Pillow, with its breathable and moisture-wicking Glacier cover, is designed to manage excess heat and prevent moisture buildup. This feature keeps you feeling dry and comfortable even when night sweats occur.
In winter, when we tend to bury ourselves under multiple blankets, the combination of too much heat and natural body heat can exacerbate the problem of night sweats. A cooling pillow provides a refreshing contrast that increases comfort and helps alleviate discomfort so you can enjoy a cool, dry sleeping surface.
4. Improves sleep quality
A cooler sleeping environment is associated with better sleep quality. Studies show that lowering body temperature can induce sleep and improve the quality of rest. While it may be cold outside in the winter, the combination of blankets, heating and natural body heat can create a sleeping environment that is too warm for restful sleep.
A cooling pillow helps compensate for this by keeping your head and neck cool, allowing your body to enter the deeper stages of sleep. These deep sleep phases are important for regeneration and recovery, resulting in a more restful, revitalizing night.
The Gorilla Healthy Silver Neck Glacier pillow goes one step further. With its advanced Cool Polyamide fibers it is specifically designed to dissipate heat and stay cool without making you cold. So you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the warmth of your winter blankets and the cool, refreshing comfort of your pillow.
