The PolarPillow is a pillow to love!
This pillow is exactly what it promises to be, a pillow that is actually cold and provides a comfortable sleeping surface so one can get a better nights sleep. My husband has often joked that I would be happy sleeping outside in the winter, or that I some how have penguin DNA mixed in with mine. I can’t blame him, he is often cold and I am often hot. I often sleep with a window open no matter what time of year it is and so he often has to have more blankets. We all have our issues though right? I mean he does snore something fierce sometimes since coming home from that first deployment.
Back to my issue, I love to be cold! I have had a hard time sleeping for a very long time, the pillow would get hot and I would feel stifled and so would start the dance of flipping pillows and throwing them to the floor and seeking a pillow not yet too warmed by body heat. What I would have given to sleep the night away without the pillow dance disturbing both my sleep and my husbands.
What is the PolarPillow?
When I first saw the PolarPillow on another blog I knew I had to learn more. When given the chance to review this pillow I was so very excited though honestly skeptical. I have seen other “keep cool” products and been disappointed in the past! This was not like that however.
The box arrived very nicely shipped. It was large and heavy. At first I didn’t even notice this large heavy box was from PolarPillow, I mean a heavy pillow? I was surprised when I opened it having half been paying attention to the exterior of the package beyond it holding my blog name. Once opened it was very clear. The packaging clearly explained how to use the pillow in big photos and clear directions. It is a pillow and as such not hard of course.
You can use this pillow with or without the PolarPack and I have done so a few times having forgotten to get the pack in the freezer. I do think these pillows should come with two packs, one for use and one for the freezer making it so that there is always one cold one waiting! The pillow is still cool though without the cold PolarPack and it really is cold.
The packaging says that one will feel the coolness within 10 seconds, I feel it near instantly, specially with the PolarPack inside it. Finally a pillow that understands what I need!
The cooling gel inside this pillow, the part that makes it heavy is a wonder, I can’t even guess at what it is made of or how it is possibly so heavy. My 7 year old son went to move this pillow and ended up dropping it on the floor in wonder. The pillow was not harmed in anyway of course, I am harder on it sleeping at night, I like to fold it and bunch and shape it my situation, often staying up to read and such. My son was fascinated by the pillow as are everyone that I show it to.
Being honest I have to course tell you about the things I don’t adore, first as I mentioned, it should come with a second PolarPack, and second it could use to be a bit bigger I think. Though maybe after testing this proved the perfect size given that if it was larger it would be heavier too. Both of these things are my opinion and not a drawback from the product as it is. It is worth every penny to buy one of these if you are someone, one of the many like me, who need the cool side of a pillow and are sick of the pillow dancing nightmares at night. 
Looking at the above photo you can see a “cooling pillow” on the top left, it has some kind of gel bubble top and a memory foam base. You can also see my standard pillows in the pillow cases under it as well. The bottom photo of the solid blue pillow is the Polar Pillow, notice the size difference? But let me tell you, this PolarPillow is so much better than any other cooling pillow I have tried. Others just don’t stay cool and honestly the memory foam one as it turns out hurts my neck and shoulders. Do be sure to put a pillow case on the PolarPillow though, it makes it more comfy as the polar pillow fabric is not very soft. Also make sure the open spot on the PolarPillow that you put the PolarPack into is on the side of the open end of the pillow case for putting it and out easy. Once the PolarPack is in, it really will not fall out. It is not hard to put in, or to take out and it does not freeze hard. It is very comfortable inside the pillow and really adds to a nice cool nights sleep.
Sleeping on this pillow is pure bliss. I adore it and it does everything it promises to do. Finally I have a pillow I love! I have spent a lot of money on fancy pillows over the years, I think all told chances are over $500.00 and never have I been this happy with any of them!

I would love tho have one of these. I’m the type of person that is always flipping the pillow to the cooler side. 🙂
I have more than 12 pillows and I have spent a fortune on them. I am really interested in this pillow.
Wow that is cool! I didn’t even know they had such pillows! This would be great for me in the summer. I am a blanket person even in the summer but I get so warm a lot of times I cannot sleep!
My husband and I could really use these! Thanks for the chance to win!
I am always HOT! This sounds like just what I need. I wonder if it would help with my migraines?
Um… like a million for a million more dollars. I have a fat head, so they wear out quickly.
I have like 5 pillows on my bed and I go threw them trying to find one that is comfortable because I suffer from migraines
I have one pillow and my hubby has two… This sounds like something we both can use!
I would say that I have about 22 pillows in my house. In my lifetime I have probably have had hundreds in my lifetime and spent thousands.
i just got new pillows from costco but i hate it. my previous pillow was from kmart and it was feather/down and i loved it. of course they dont have the pillow brand and make anymore.
I currently sleep with four pillows. I would estimate that I have probably spent over $1000 on pillows throughout my lifetime so far.
I need one of these, my medication makes me get hot spots on my face and it gets much worse at night, sometimes to the point that I have to sleep on a wet wash cloth.
I have 6 pillows currently. I have spent a lot of money on pillows because you are supposed to change them frequently due to dust mites. I have spent several hundred dollars on new pillows. I would love to try the Polar Pillow!
I have two pillows, one being a body pillow. I hate to think how much I have spent on pillows because they get flat and uncomfortable. I would LOVE a polar pillow as I wake up with hot flashes all night and am constantly flipping mine over to the “cool” side, doesn’t last long.
I have 6 pillows and I have probably spent around maybe $1,000 on pillows in my life so far.
We have about 10 bed pillows in our house for a total of 3 people – i am sure I have spent wellover 500 dollarson pillows in my lifetime but I’m still looking for the right one!
We have 6 pillows (2 each) I have spent a lot of $ trying to find a pillow that I like
i have a bunch o pillows wish i had 1 of your 🙂 prob spend to much on pillows lol 🙂
Would love to try this for my little cold pillow munchkin!
I have a polar pillow and they work great except that they are not consistent in its form at night, or at least not one of the earlier models I had. Hopefully, they have been redesigned to be more at shape during the night.
I have five different pillows and I sleep with a different one each night. Sometimes more than two.
Amazon Prize Code Taken 🙂 Love this Pillow!
Would love this. Since I had the big C I sleep on a little pillow on top of two others to keep my face from hurting. I sleep with four different pillows plus the small bead filled ones. I bet I have spent $500 on pillows.
In our house we have about 8. Not including 6 pillow pets! 😉
Have not spent alot, I typically buy the cheapest ones.
My husband refuses to get a new pillow.
Would love to win this pillow, it sounds like a dream come true.
I love sleeping in the cool so this would be great for me.
Wow, just counting what I have total in my home I have 12. How many in my life time. after raising 3 kids, grandkids and guest rooms and oh my so many I would say that 100 pillows is being modest
I’ve had insomnia for a while now. I’m hoping to save up to buy at least one, maybe more.
Thanks for your comments about this product and sleeping patterns. 🙂
I have 2 pillows that I use every night. I have gone through so many pillows because I just can’t find the “one”! I would estimate that i’ve spent around $700 on pillows!
I would LOVE one of these pillows!
Between my husband and I, we have about 10 pillows on the bed. I have no idea how much I’ve spent on them all, lol.
i have 3 pillows on my bed and ive probably not spent much bc i buy the cheap crappy ones
4 pillows about $50 dollars spent on pillows
I currently have 4 pillows on the bed..I have probably spent about 600 dollars on pillows or more!
i sleep with 2 and probably $200
Well counting the 1 body pillow that I have I currently have 5 pillows on my bed and how much I have spent is impossible to say since I am 50 years old lol
I have about 10 pillows at the moment because I keep buying them TRYING to find the PERFECT one. I have spent around $200 on pillows.. They are expensive!!
I have 4 on my bed. And I don’t even want to think about how much I have spent on pillows and my quest for the perfect one!
I have 6 right now and probably around $300 worth!
I have 12 pillows in my house. Well that is what is on the beds, do couch pillows count, lol? I have no idea how much money I have spent on pillows during my lifetime though. At a guess, it would probably be around 1000 dollars ;(.
I’m too embarrassed to say how much I think I’ve spent on pillows. It’s hundreds when I could have just invested in good ones like this! I have four pillows on my bed.
I probably have about 9 pillows and I’ve spent way too much to be thrown away so soon.
I have six pillows on my bed alone. I’ve probably spent several hundred dollars on pillows. All of them horrible. I need the perfect pillow and this looks like the one!
I have four pillows on the bed with two of them being mine. I have spent a lot of money on pillows in my lifetime. The last two were approx $50 for the pair and well, they really aren’t that great. 🙁
I sleep with 3 pillows and have probably spent 1000.00 in my life on the wrong pillows!! Having hot flashes at night this pillow would be perfect for me!
