Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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, many memory foam pillows, amongst them the Dream Coil pillow, the Tempurpedic, Therapedic, you name it.
All worked somewhat but it seems that the main problem with most memory foam pillows is that they are too firm at first (especially in the winter when it is cold in the bedroom), then mold perfectly to a person's individual anatomy until the material gets too warm from the person's body heat and finally it does not provide perfect 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 changing out my various memory foam pillows several 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 truly different pillow. For me who sleeps mainly on her side and sometimes awakes on her back, it strikes the perfect balance between support and softness. I simply love it. It does not feel too firm in the beginning, just supportive, and it does not end up being too soft during the night, it simply remains exactly the same. That it doesn't overheat is another perfect feature but I admit I did not buy this pillow primarily for that although it is advertised as a "stays-cool-pillow".
I am very impressed with this pillow and can highly, highly recommend it to anyone suffering from the same condition as I am.
Of course I know from experience that these pillows come on the market and also disappear from it quickly, so I've already bought a second one and will get a few more. Just in case it will wear out one day. Because I want to avoid 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 additional Iso-Cool contour pillows. Contrary to the one I had recently bought at JC Penny's, these Amazon-sold ones come without the retail box and a thinner, considerably 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, quite a bit thinner fabric.
But otherwise 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 someone 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 first posted this review.

For a sumptuous night's rest, the Iso-Cool pillow is made of materials that respond to a body's changing temperature by warming or cooling. The pillow is made from Outlast Adaptive Comfort material, which has microscopic beads called PCMs (Phase Change Materials) that sense whether the body's mean temperature is too warm or too cool. If too warm, the product absorbs heat and feels cool, and if the body's temperature is too cool, the product releases heat and feels warm to regulate temperature. With the highest available concentration of PCMs, this pillow is extremely effective.
Available in two luxurious and supportive fills--spiral-spun polyester and visco-elastic memory foam--this model features the foam in a plush, gusseted design meant to maximize comfort for those who sleep on their sides. The 300-thread-count, 100-percent-cotton cover is hypoallergenic, with a zippered closure that makes it easy to remove and wash in the home machine. The pillow provides an ample sleep surface at 21-1/2 inches long by 16 inches wide by 7 inches thick. It's made in the USA. Iso-Cool mattress toppers are available separately.
