There are many causes of night sweats from infections to menopause to weather.<\/p>\n

Whatever the cause, they are uncomfortable and make your nights restless.<\/p>\n

Sleeping on a heat-retaining pillow or mattress can make the situation worse. Your body gets even hotter and you sweat more.<\/p>\n

Memory foam mattresses are especially notorious for overheating. Latex foam and innerspring mattresses are the best at cooling.<\/p>\n

But if you cannot afford to buy a new mattress, I recommend getting a cooling topper.<\/p>\n

As for your pillow, that\u2019s something you can easily replace without spending a lot of money.<\/p>\n

Below, I recommend the best cooling pillows for night sweats.<\/p>\n

I did not just look at their cooling capability when picking the best ones; I also considered how comfortable and supportive they are especially for people with neck and back problems.<\/p>\n

But first, a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a cooling pillow.<\/p>\n

What to consider when buying a cooling pillow<\/h2>\n

a. Cooling capability<\/h3>\n

Find out which technique the pillow uses to keep you cool. Some methods are more effective than others.<\/p>\n

Most cooling pillows use cooling gel which is either infused into the foam or contained in a pad inside the pillow.<\/p>\n

Cooling gel improves heat dissipation away from your body to keep you cool.<\/p>\n

Pillows that boast about a breathable cover or foam but don\u2019t use gel are not really ideal for combating night sweats.<\/p>\n

They may be good enough for someone who doesn\u2019t struggle with excess perspiration at night but for you, only a cooling gel pillow will do.<\/p>\n

b. Comfort and support<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t get a pillow that keeps you cool but leaves you with a sore neck and painful back. Make sure the pillow is comfortable and provides adequate support.<\/p>\n

Memory foam pillows are the most comfortable. The memory foam cradles your head in a comfortable hug and contours around your neck and shoulders for maximum support.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of memory foam is that it easily adjusts to different sleeping positions.<\/p>\n

c. Whole pillow or insert<\/h3>\n

You have two options when buying a cooling pillow.<\/p>\n

You can either buy an entire pillow with the cooling pad inside it or buy a cooling insert\/mat.<\/p>\n

Inserts use the same gel found in cooling pillows. But they are much more versatile. You can use an insert with your existing pillow or on its own when travelling, in the office or on the sofa.<\/p>\n

d. Easy maintenance<\/h3>\n

The pillow should be easy to clean.<\/p>\n

With some pillows, you can put all of it in the washer without damaging it. With others, you should only wash the cover.<\/p>\n

Check manufacturer cleaning instructions before you buy including the ideal water temperature you should wash it in and the best way to dry it.<\/p>\n

e. Hypoallergenic<\/h3>\n

Finally, make sure the pillow doesn\u2019t cause any allergic reactions especially if you have sensitive skin. Find out what materials are used in the foam as well as the casing.<\/p>\n

Memory foam pillows are the best for people who might be allergic to feathers, down and latex. As for the cover, cotton and polyester are safe for most people.<\/p>\n

Some pillows also have materials that are resistant to common allergens such as mould, pollen and dust mites.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Supportiback\u00ae Comfort Therapy Memory Bed Pillow<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/a>\n

This doctor-designed pillow provides the optimal head and neck positioning. It is neither too low nor too high.<\/p>\n

The Supportiback keeps your spine is in perfect alignment with your head and neck, ensuring you don\u2019t wake up with any soreness or pain.<\/p>\n

It is made from high-density memory foam that provides good support and contouring whether you sleep on your back, stomach or side.<\/p>\n

If you have back, neck or shoulder pain, this is one of the best pillows you can buy. It\u2019s also ideal for those recovering from surgery, those who experience persistent headaches and those struggling with snoring.<\/p>\n

To keep you cool, the pillow contains cooling gel on one side. So on those nights when the night sweats are bothering you, just flip it over to the cool side. And on cold nights, you can flip it over to the non-gel side.<\/p>\n

The cover is breathable and does a great job wicking sweat away from your skin.<\/p>\n

To clean the pillow, just remove the cover and throw it in the washer.<\/p>\n
