10 Best Cooling Pillow UK Picks to Enjoy Sweat-Free Sleep

The Simba Hybrid pillow is inarguably one of the best pillows UK has to offer by everyone's standards.

It's fully adjustable, allowing you to add or remove the foam Nanocubes tailoring the loft and support to your liking and sleeping position.

Just on its own, this delightfully crafted cotton pillowcase with mesh borders is quite breathable, but once you factor in Simba's active temperature-regulating Stratos technology, you get yourself a pillow that's ideal for year-round use.

Gel memory foam pillows have been the staple of cooling pillows for several years, and Siletnight's Cool Touch pillow is one of the best, most affordable ones you can buy.

Housed in a super soft, cool-to-the-touch cover, this pillow is built for long-lasting cool comfort.

Its straightforward yet inviting rectangle design will offer more than enough neck and head support, although its loft might pose a problem or two if you like sleeping on your stomach.

One thing to note, though – this one does not come with a washable cover, so you will have to get a separate one.

Nectar released their cooling pillow as a pair, yet they've kept the price reasonably low. That alone almost made us give this one the title of the best value cooling pillow, but this felt more appropriate.

The way Nectar tackled the overheating problem was by filling their pillow with shredded foam. This not only made the pillow more breathable but also softer and more comfortable.

The Tencel cover is sourced from eucalyptus trees. It's super soft to the touch, gentle on the skin, and fights off excessive moisture.

Panda is known for cooling products, so we had no doubt that Panda's Hybrid Bamboo pillow would be on our list once it was launched in July 2022.

This pillow is very complex because it has inner and outer cover, mesh frame, cover filling, memory foam core, and in-built protector. Rayon, bamboo, microfiber, memory foam, and polyester are the materials it is made of.

All these materials guarantee comfort, pressure relief, and support. Also, the Panda Hybrid pillow is so breathable and cooling, almost like no other.

It belongs to the category of premium pillows, as the price suggests, but it is value for money and the level of craftsmanship is worth every penny.

It comes with a 10-year warranty so your investment is 100% safe.

The gorgeously knitted cover is as soft and comfy as it is good-looking. Factor in the mesh air vents, and you'll have yourself a super cosy and breathable pillowcase.

But, it's the insides that count with this one. Surrounded by a generous amount of soft hollowfibre, at the core of this pillow, we have a Geltex cushion designed to absorb excess body heat and move it away from the body.

What's ingenious about this design is that soft hollowfibre is not only there as a comfort layer but also as a temperature buffer between your head and gel-infused foam core.

This is a regular memory foam pillow with a single block of memory foam for a base. However, unlike other foam pillows, this one uses a 3rd generation breathable memory foam to cool things off a bit.

Aside from cooling and breathability, which you can expect from all pillows on our list, Panda Bamboo pillow is also very well designed and built. Its downward-curving sides make this one comfy and supportive for most sleepers.

But, the biggest selling point of this pillow is its spectacularly engineered bamboo cover. Bamboo's naturally thermo-regulating, so it shouldn't surprise you how refreshing sleeping on this pillow will be.

Woolroom has stuffed its Natural pillow with the finest balls of British wool to build this cooling pillow. But, temperature regulation wasn't the only thing Woolroom tried to achieve with this one.

What was also their goal was to create a 100% natural and completely hypoallergenic pillow to combat seasonal allergies and common household allergens like dust mites or mould. And, sure enough, they did just that.

But, wool isn't the only thing that makes this pillow 100% natural and hypoallergenic. It's the cotton cover, too.

Slumberdown Climate Control pillow is one of the most affordable cooling pillows UK offers. You could probably buy a cup of coffee that's more expensive than these two pillows combined. Oh, right, did we mention this is a two-pack?

Now, don't let the price tag fool you. This is by no means a cheap product. It's simply affordable.

Unlike the other cooling pillows on our list, this one's actually quite pleasant for a stomach sleeper. Its hollowfibre Dacron filling is not only breathable but also quite soft and squishy, which is what stomach sleepers find most appealing.

Emma Original is not your everyday pillow. This one's made out of three separate layers of different foams – each with its own set of characteristics and purposes. What's most fascinating about it is that not only are all of these “inner pillows” different – they're also kind of expandable.

Each of these cushions is removable. Also, each of these cushions can be rearranged in whichever way you seem fit. If you chose to, you could use one, two, or all three of them, in whichever order you wanted to.

Gel-infused foam usually handles the overheating issue on its own, but poking holes through the pillow made it even better. We'd even compare this one to a latex pillow when it comes to keeping things breezy.

What also helps is the Tencel/microfibre combo removable cover you'll get with this one. This knitted cover does a decent job at wicking away moisture and excess heat allowing you to sleep soundly during the night.

However, what this pillow does the best is handle neck pain. The cushiony feeling and lofty profile of this BedStory pillow allow you to keep your neck in the optimal position all night long, resulting in pain-free daybreaks.
