Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Years ago, I learned (not without some degree of pain) that the better part of valor is to let my wife manage nighttime thermostat settings. Unfortunately, since I tend to sleep a little warmer than she does, I woke up for years in the middle of the night sweaty and uncomfortable. No more!! It is no exaggeration to say that the Elegear cooling blanket has changed my life in a very positive way. (See my video review of that product for details if you're interested.) As a result, these pillowcases were an easy sell. After about two weeks of using them, I can't really imagine being more pleased. For less than $25, my life has improved again! The magic behind this product is the shiny side (which is an 80/20 nylon/polyethylene mix) that is remarkably cool to the touch. You can see (in second photo) the contrast between that side and the (100% cotton) warmer side on the reverse. I am almost certain that I will never use the warm side on my head! When I climb into bed, I position myself on my side, place the puffier pillow (again, shiny side up) between by legs for back support, lay my head on that cool (flatter) pillow, and I am out in minutes! Sheer wizardry. I do find that after a couple hours with my head on the pillowcase, the cooling effect recedes somewhat. This is easily remedied with a 180-degree rotation of the pillow and repositioning my head on a not-recently-used portion (which allows the part where my head was to cool back down). With my cool head is restored, back I go into dreamland! If you sleep on the hot side, please try this product! Honestly, the fact that I spent so little to change my life so profoundly makes me feel like I got away with something - in a very good way!
