Member's Mark Cooling Body Pillow, 20"x54"

This has been an absolute top 5 useful things after my joint replacement surgery. I wondered if the “cooling” aspect would be good or bad, and it was EXCELLENT. It really aided my goal of keeping swelling to a minimum. Obviously, every person, every procedure, and every surgeon is different, so ask before using xyz post-op, but for me, this was a HUGE help.

I have had and used the Hudson & Main cooling body pillow for about a month. When the pillow first arrived it was vacuum sealed in plastic, with instructions on the bag to place it into the dryer to re-fluff it. I did this and it certainly made a difference. These instructions were only on the plastic, not on the tag attached to the pillow, so I could see this getting missed during unpacking. The pillow itself is a good size and the cover is nice. When you first touch the cover it is cool to the touch, but doesn’t stay cool with constant contact. It is nice that it does not make me hot while sleeping like memory foam type pillows do. The cover is removable with a single zipper at one end and washes well. I have washed mine weekly without any issues. It has not pilled or gotten any snags which is definitely a positive. The zipper is also small and out of the way in that it does not irritate you if that end is by your face. The amount of fill within the pillow is also good and hopefully remains that way over time. I did notice that there seems to be an hidden zipper on the inner part of the pillow that could be opened to access the filling if I ever wanted or needed to replace or replenish the filling, so I would say that is a good attribute as well. To me it is too soft to use as a wedge or back rest, as I prefer more support for that. But it is good for support for side sleepers. Overall this is a nice body pillow that is comfortable. I would recommend this pillow.
