Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Dual Cooling Pillow

It’s huge, it’s cool, it’s supportive.

I love the fact the cooling area is huge, if you got hot in one area just switch place and it’s cool again, not it’s get hot quickly.
It’s soft at first when you lay on it, as it’s compressed, it’s getting supportive to where it need support. Also a big plus that is mentioned nowhere, the pillow is super heavy, wherever you decide to put it it will stay there unless you want to move it, never fall off the pillow again.

It’s pricy, but did I mention it got 5 years warranty?

I initially thought it was heavy/too firm and was going to be a too high of a loft for a petite older woman. I sleep hot and am a back sleeper/insomnia sufferer/lots of neck pain and headaches. First night I slept better than usual. I’m a couple nights into using this pillow and my headaches are less. Seems less hot also. Liking it so far. Any relieve received is worth the heavy price tag. I guess it is true—you get what you pay for..Hopefully things will continue to change for the better. If it does, I’ll be getting another for back up purposes. I do understand that a pillow can’t undo my health issues entirely—but some relieve from the symptoms is surely welcomed!

I’ve been on a quest to find the perfect pillow. I’m coming from an almost 10 year old Tempur-Pedic Symphony pillow…and I have to say the Symphony has been pretty good to me. But it’s getting a little beat down at this point and it’s time for a replacement. I should also say that I’m about 6’0, 205lbs. side sleeper. I like a high loft.

I went to the stores. Tried the Purple Original and Purple Harmony. Original was too firm…Harmony too bouncy. I didn’t actually sleep on either one of these…but I just didn’t think either was going to work, so I began looking elsewhere.

I tried the Saybrook shredded memory foam pillow. Now that one is good…I still have it, and I think I’m gonna keep it. That’s a great pillow, love the adjustability….but I do have to fluff it in the middle of the night. The stuffing sort of shifts around on me, and the support it offers at the beginning of the night is not the support it offers in the morning. And it is a bit warm. But overall a great pillow. I’m probably going to keep it as a back up. The shredded foam used on this is top-notch. Nice and squishy. Very uniform. This really is a great pillow. I just don’t want to keep fluffing and don’t want to have to readjust in the middle of the night.

That led me to the Tempur-Pedic Tempur Cloud Cooling Pro Hi. I wanted to love it. It’s heavy. It’s a solid piece of memory foam. The cooling is legit…like too cold to start. The cooling does not last all night, and by morning I don’t feel any cooling what-so-ever. You could maybe flip the pillow, but this thing is heavy, and I have a bad shoulder. The cooling is almost too much though when I first lay down. Frigid. Distracting. It’s also firm. Like too firm. It’s not all that bad when you first lay your head on it…and then you sink in just a bit…and then it’s like the foam around your head is so firm that you can’t really move your head around any, if that makes sense. I was waking up with a headache and sore neck. So the whole thing is just a bit too “extra” for me. Maybe a tad too tall. Maybe a tad too cold. Maybe a tad too firm. Now the cover of the Pro…it’s awesome. But who really cares about the cover when most people use a pillow case anyway.

So that led me to the Tempur-Pedic Tempur Cloud Breeze Cooling. It has a touch less loft than the Pro Hi. It’s just a bit softer. I would call the Could Breeze Cooling a medium, and the Cloud Pro a firm. Both are heavy. The cooling with the Could Breeze is legit. Not as cool as the Cloud Pro…but it’s noticeable. Gone by morning though. But the Cloud Breeze is the Goldilocks pillow. Just right. High loft…but not too high. Medium firmness…so it’s firm…but not too firm. Cooling is legit…but not frigid. I think I found a keeper. I’m about a week into it so far, but I feel comfortable enough that I’m going to like it to write this review. Now the cover for the Cloud Breeze…nothing special. But again…who cares? It’s removeable…it’s washable…and I always use a pillow case anyway.

So the bottom line for me is that the Tempur Clould Breeze Cooling and the Tempur Clould Pro Hi Cooling are very similar pillows…but the Pro is just a bit “extra”…and in my case…extra was too much. Cloud Breeze wins with me. If you are a really big dude…really broad shoulders…and like a high, firm pillow…go with the Pro Hi. If you are a 6’5″…250lb linebacker who sleeps on his side…get the Pro Hi. But for more regular-sized side sleepers, I think the Cloud Breeze is the one to get.

I have had a lot of trouble finding the right pillow. I have arthritis in my neck, and any pillow that doesn’t hold my head at precisely the right angle causes me to wake up in the morning in pain. To complicate matters, I sometimes sleep on my side, and sometimes sleep on my stomach, and I change positions frequently throughout the night. Also, I sleep hot, so I really wanted a cooling pillow, to prevent the need for frequent pillow flipping all night long. I’ve only had this pillow for less than two weeks, but so far it seems to be checking all the boxes. I especially like that it is cooling on both sides, not just one. One caveat: When I took this pillow out of its box, it had a very strong chemical smell, and I had to let it off-gas in another room for three days before I could even use it. At this point, a very slight smell remains, but not enough to be problematic. So far so good.

Replaced my pillows with this bigger sized Tempur Pillow. It is really heavy which I did not expect but the material gives firm support yet at the same time feels soft and conforms to my head, neck and shoulders.
