Gel-- not a problem. You don't realize there's anything like gel in the pillow. It isn't cold. It isn't hot. It is high quality construction. It is very thick and very firm. It was too much pillow for me. I gave it to my grandson who is early 20s (good size guy) and he loves the pillow.

Yeah it stays cool. I've been laying on it all night. I'm still laying on it right now. It's not warm at all lol.

It does seem to hold a little heat. I still like it better than fiberfill or down as far as heat goes. We love our pillows!

It is a little better than a regular pillow on keeping your head cool, I also purchased a cooling pillow which I alternate throughout the night.

You know I sleep like a rock on it to honest with you so I really haven't noticed. Now I will tell you I don't wake-up in a pool of sweat if that helps you out any. Let me know if it does:)

I am loving the pillow, even though I thought I made a mistake at first. The pillow is soft. You have to "fluff it up to move the shredded foam around. No, the pillow is not hot. I snuggle my head down and the pillow cradles my neck. Originally, I bought two queen pillows. After I slept on them for a week, I ended up loving them so much that I bought two king pillows for another bed. Hope this helps

I don't find it hot. It's definitely better than the first generation memory foam in my opinion.

It says 'cooling' because it is not as hot as the older memory foam toppers were. Lots of people complained about the heat retention because it is a closed cell foam. The manufacturers started adding holes in the material, then designing cooling systems to remove some of the heat. So this isn't designed to cool you, it's designed to release some of the heat (ie, cool) retained in the closed cell structure of the foam.

I do have a pillow case on it and used it with and without and find it doesn't stay too cool either way but it is comfortable!

at the first of the night for approx 1-2 hrs no, but my head did sweat after it warmed up the gel in the pillow. Now let me say this is the best pillow that i have ever had, most comfortable, i place a towel over the pillow to ensure the hole night, it tends to keep the sweat from building up.

Well the directions say to use a cotton pillow case on it for best results. That is suspose to help keep you cool. I don't really feel a big difference in the cool area. It does Support really well. Hope this helps you

Yes it stays cool and doesn't get hotat all. Also, there's enough grip room to hold it with your fingers

It is all relative. I would not say it is "cooling" but that it doesn't warm up as much as other foam pillows. I have not had much luck with memory foam as it's usually too hard; this pillow is softer and more comfortable in my estimation at least for a back sleeper.

The pillow stays cool unless you're sleeping on it. If one side has become warm from body heat, just flip it over (the other side will be pleasantly cool). Otherwise, it maintains a very comfortable temperature.

No, my face and head does not get hot with this pillow. I love this pillow, however, my daughter uses the same pillow and she gets hot.

I don't know about cool gel. But I have not felt hot at all with this mattress! It has been amazing! My husband also says he has no issues about being too hot!

I get hot flashes and I sleep on this pillow. I've not found it to be hot or somehow contribute to the hot felling I experience from time to time. Hope this helps.

It does not "act" as a cooler. But, it does seems to breathe better than the other pillows I have used. So, in a way, I guess it does keep you slightly cooler.I love this pillow. It is really very comfortable.

This is still memory foam...just with gel mixed in. The gel is a cooling agent, where regular memory foam can be rather warm.

well! it's not chill nor hot (like normal pillow). You might it's cool or cooler than normal pillow. However, I highly recommend if you have neck or back pain. At least, I felt better after using it. Hope, it can help you to decide it.
