It was rather neatly packed with the pillow folded within the Simba bag and looked aesthetically pleasing. I was happy to see that the cooling pillow could be folded and packed away in the morning rather than left on the bed.
But now, the true test. Would I have a ‘cool night’?
The Cool Test
Setting up for the night ahead, I placed the cooling pillow next to me and wrapped my body around it. Immediately, I could feel the coolness permeate into my skin. I happily sighed, until I was interrupted by my partner chuckling at the sight of me as he entered into the room. He asked why I chose a rather large body pillow… a pregnancy pillow perchance?
Well, after confirming that I was not indeed pregnant, I listed the attributes of the pillow that offers not just cooling but to help with my sleep:
1) It’s designed for side sleepers. We all have our own sleeping positions but my default sleep mode is to sleep on my side which sometimes isn’t helpful for my posture and often wakes me up with a few aches in the morning (I’m not a spritely young chicken anymore). Having this body pillow allows me to have my body correctly positioned and aligns my body reducing the pressure on my shoulders and hips. Simply tuck the pillow into your body, hugging into your arms and place one leg underneath and one leg on top.
2) It feels fresh. With recycled plastic fibres into soft clusters, it provides cushioning and breathability so it doesn’t feel like it sticks to you.
3) The main reason – it has ‘cool touch’ tech which allows heat dissipation allowing the pillow to have that much needed cool and fresh touch.
4) It’s environmentally friendly. As a keen reduce, reuse and recycler, I like to ensure that the items in my house are from sustainable sources. Simba proudly claims it’s Renew BioFill for the stuffing inside of recycled plastic fibres, and it also has a removable and washable cotton casing, which avoids the need to consistently replace the pillow after a limited period of time. So, I can have this pillow as long as I can possibly can.
Giving a ‘so there’ look, I carried on tucking into my cooling pillow for the rest of the warm night on top of my sheets and turned the lights off. It wasn’t until when I woke up just before daybreak to settle my dog from barking that I realised that I had a good night and the cooling pillow remained… you guessed it… cool. I was positively delighted!
