The Beauty-Rest Pillow That Always Stays Cool

It may seem counterintuitive to want anything cold during the winter, but a cold pillow is the only respite from dry, blistering indoor heat. Casper’s new solo pillow offering — precisely engineered to safeguard against the decision fatigue of choosing between hundreds of seemingly identical pillows at Bed Bath & Beyond — is engineered to always feel preternaturally cool.

Each pillow is a mini-circulation system for cool air. It’s constructed from synthetic fibers which are 1/20 the size of a human hair, creating a supportive core for your head as you toss and turn without holding on to heat the way down and memory foam materials would. A fluffy outer layer sandwiches the core and allows air to move through the pillow. (The percale cover is removable and can be tossed in the washer.) It’s pretty much the best pillow you can buy that doesn’t have Michael B. Jordan’s face on it.
