The Independent: TEMPUR Original SmartCool™ Pillow "Best for pressure relief"

If you’re looking for the best pillow for pressure relief, I’d recommend Tempur’s cloud smartcool pillow. The headline here is comfort under pressure. When lying down, I felt a slow, even sink that dispersed weight and eased hotspots at my ear, jaw, and neck. When lying on my back, my neck stayed neutral, and the jaw-clenching that sometimes plagues my nights during stressful periods was markedly improved.

There’s a low-to-medium loft and soft feel, and I think even some front sleepers will be pleased with it. Cooling isn’t a world-beater, but good enough, considering the dense foam, and the knit fabric feels cool on contact and stays that way. It’s built incredibly well overall, with a removable, washable cover.

Even with this pillow’s versatility and pressure relief performance, there are some downsides. It’s not adjustable, so those with broader frames may not get along with it, and like many Tempur products, the expense could put it out of reach for some.
