Bramble - Cool Leak Proof Gel Pillow Pad Insert for Cooling & Pain Relief - 55x30cm, Large

Really good just good size

The insert is a good size and slots easily into a pillow case. It's perfectly comfortable to use it on top of the case too. It folds up easily, so it's not hard to fit it in the fridge. It stays cool for a good length of time. So far, I've found it useful for icing injuries to my leg and also wrapping around my head when I have a headache. I haven't used it so much as a pillow insert, because at some point in the night, it inevitably warms up and is then just an item that makes the pillow slightly less comfortable. If it's just atop your pillow, it can just be discarded, if you're awake enough to think to do so. Overall, I'm happy to own it.

So far so good. They worked well on top of the pillows for sleeping in the hot weather and did make sleeping easier, they are also comfortable to put against your skin. They were good used on the back of the neck in the day time when sitting too. They fold up nicely to place in the fridge to do an extra cool down. They seem robust and were great value for money.

Cools down for a little bit but then goes the other way after a while and makes it uncomfortable. Will probably use it to cool down my feet rather than my head.

The item is of good size. I was initially somewhat unsure about what the surface would feel like against my face and I was surprised by heavy it felt. No problems with the feel of the surface and the weight meant it stayed put when laid on top of the pillow. However it was too heavy when it was put inside the silk pillow case. and pulled it down. However the cool pillow works! I seem to have a permanently hot head (!) and, like another reviewer, I too have a respiratory condition and find hot weather adversely effects my breathing. It was such a relief to have a cool face and subsequently some much needed sleep. How good is that?

Good sized pad, stays cool for a while, the gel gets pretty cold just from being in the fridge for a few hours, only downside is the pad is a little heavy and can take up an entire fridge shelf but otherwise would recommend

I've had water filled pillows and gel pillows for many years as I must have a cool head at night to avoid headaches. My last gel pillows were looking a bit grubby so I found these as a replacement. They are the same size as my old ones, slightly smaller than your standard pillow size, so that's why I chose them. I tried them out for a week before I gave up. My old ones are stitched so the gel is in three sections, however these are only stitched down the centre, making two sections. I found that this just doesn't hold the gel in place at all. All the gel ends up at your neck as it migrates down the pillow, that leaves the top warm and the pillow bottom heavy so it slides off as soon as you turn over. Also the surface is very slippery so it slides about if you put a pillowcase on it. My old ones have a plush surface which is much better. I've gone back to my old ones for now, but will keep these for very hot weather and lay my body on them rather than my head.

This is not the best finished pillow I’ve had but it keeps cool all night and I like the shape. It sits well in the middle of the pillow and doesn’t fall down into the bed like so many I have had in the past. I will definitely buy again when it loose its gel
