Hands-down the best neck aid I’ve ever had!
By I. Peters
I suffer from two herniated cervical disks and it is very difficult for me to find a pillow that is just right, not too soft, not too firm, not too low, not too high… Over the years I have tried many, a lot of memory foam pillows, amid them the Dream Coil pillow, the Tempurpedic, Therapedic, you name it.
All worked more or less but it seems that the main problem with most memory foam pillows is that they are too firm at original (especially in the winter when it is cold in the bedroom), then mold perfectly to a person’s person anatomy until the material gets too warm from the person’s body heat and in the long run it does not provide perfective support anymore because it gets too soft and allows the head to sink in too far.
Because I was a the point yet again where I was altering out my respective memory foam pillows assorted times a night in order to get comfortable, I was looking for just another pillow to try. Which in this case was the Iso-Cool pillow (the contoured model).
What a find! This is a genuinely dissimilar pillow. For me who sleeps primarily on her side and once in a while awakes on her back, it strikes the perfective remainder amid aid and softness. I merely love it. It does not feel too firm in the beginning, just supportive, and it does not end up being too soft for the duration of the night, it plainly remains precisely the same. That it doesn’t overheat is another perfective feature but I confess I did not buy this pillow mainly for that even though it is advertised as a “stays-cool-pillow”.
I am very impressed with this pillow and may highly, highly commend it to any person suffering from the same condition as I am.
Of course I know from experience that these pillows come on the market and also vanish from it quickly, so I’ve already purchased a second one and will get a few more. Just in case it will wear out one day. Because I want to refrain from having to hunt down the overstocks all over the web as I had to do with the Dream Coil pillow a few years back…
UPDATE: I just received my further and added Iso-Cool contour pillows. Contrary to the one I had lately purchased at JC Penny’s, these Amazon-sold ones come without the syndication box and a thinner, substantially more basic pillow cover. The pillow cover from Penny’s is the nicer one. The one I received from Amazon does not have blue or for that matter any piping, no stitched Iso-Cool logo, rather a bit thinner fabric.
But other than as supposed or expected they seem to be made of the same material and have the same 15-yr. warranty. Just thought I’d mention that these differ a bit from other Iso-Cool pillows available out there…
UPDATE II:
In September 09 somebody commented on my review here saying that Amazon now ships the pillow with the Iso-Cool cover as pictured. That’s great – it’s a much nicer cover than what I got from Amazon when I initial posted this review.

Finally……….
By In House Chef
I can not stand warm pillow in the middle of the night. I have been searching for the last 10+ years. I even purchased a pillow last year, mail ordered from Japan which they assert they have this “so called” heat transfer gel on the pillow, which cost me $120 and doesn’t do ANYTHING. (lesson…)
So, I came throughout this Iso-Cool pillow on Amazon, I got the Contour version… I was VERY skeptical in the beginning… but once I sleep on it for the basi night, I totally LOVE it.
1. It KEEP MY HEAD COOL, still warms up where the head contacts, but it DOES NOT warms up to a degree that annoys me (unlike one of the “original” memory form pillow which sold for $99+)
2. IT DOES NOT SINK. Again, not similar to one of those “original” memory form pillow, this one give VERY GOOD support, and it does not make my head “sink” into the pillow.
3. I purchased that kind of “water filling” pillow insert twice, and both of the time it leak after a year use. YES, it may keep my head cool, but still, the WHOLE insert will warm up after like 5-6 hours. This Iso-Cool does not keep on warming up for the duration of long hour of sleep, seems like it will stop warming up, up to sure temperature. THE BEST PART, IT WON’T LEAK…. (it is just a big block of form)
It DOES smell a little bit, like a good deal of new car/chemical smell to me when I initial opened it from the package, but the smell dies down quick. Like the comment from the other user said, if the smell annoys you, I commend to let it sit in open air for perchance a few days before you use it. For me, I just employed right from the packaging.
BUT, even it sounds so amazing, but PLEASE, if possible, like myself, get one and try it out from a local store first, since NO ONE has the same preferences.
To me, this IS the pillow I was looking for, finally!

Cool and keeps it is shape!
By M. Dobrick
I have been using this pillow since last Fall and it’s worked great. It regulates according to your body temperature so you never feel hot when sleeping. My house gets genuinely warm and having this pillow allows me to sleep and not wake up in middle the night. Plus, I’m genuinely hard on my pillows and this one has actually kept it is shape over the months.
