Technogel Vive® Deluxe Cooling Gel Pillow – Ergonomic Memory Foam Pillow with Advanced Cooling Technology – Ideal for Side and Back Sleepers (Vive Thick)

The pillow is very soft and has strong support. My head felt very refreshing all night. I like it very much and will buy it again if needed.

Love this pillow!

By far the best bed pillows I have purchased. Made in Italy, not China. I saw them at my local mattress store which charged about the same but opted to buy on Amazon. They are worth every penny in terms of support and comfort highly recommended

I purely love this pillow, responsible, I believe, for nights and nights of deep sleep. And yet I've given it four stars. When I got it, the outer cover reeked of fire retardant. I tried washing it, I tried airing it in the sun, I tried washing it again to no avail. I could still detect the scent. While I was waiting for the cover to smell better, I used the pillow without it. I slept better than I had in a long time. So I ditched the cover and was extremely happy with the pillow all by itself. You might be too. It's softer than it is without the cover, but that seems to work.

My previous pillow was wool pillow and it gets warm at night I would often flip the pillow over to cool down. this is my second pillow i bought from this brand. they are expensive compared to all the other choices. However, I prefer some thing non toxic and cooling is the selling point for me. My first pillow from this band was the contour type where the center is like a valley for back sleeping and the sides are an inch higher for sleeping on the sides. However, no one sleeps without moving their head at night. So for me I felt the pillow was too high at the 4.5 in the center and 5.5 inch on the side. When i rolled to the side since it is too soft it didnt give me enough support to keep my shoulder from collapsing and in the center at 4.5 inch was too high for my neck. So here I am buying their thinnest pillow at 3.5 inches flat no contour "ANATOMIC" design. And I love it! I feel my neck is more comfortable so I can breath better. So it is soft but not too soft, so when I actually put my head down it does get lower than the 3.5 inch. This is great for back sleeper, if you are a side sleeper than the ANATOMIC pillow would be what you want instead of this.

I've had a technogel pillow for years. First one I bought was 2016. Decided time for new one. The new one is not very cooling. Not sure if anything to do to improve it. I took it out of the protector and using regular pillowcase. Disappointed as the first one was awesome and worth the cost. The new ones are not worth $200. The foam pillow is still good as far as support/comfort but I bought it for the cooling part!

I have a pinched nerve and have been going to a chiropractor for the first time. One of the things he asked about was my pillow, which was awful.He then recommended I buy a cooling gel memory foam pillow which would support my neck and it costs about $50. I looked it up and there's no way I'm breathing chemicals from the Chinese made memory foam product for 8 hours a night.Years ago I bought a toxic, chemical filled mattress that was made in China that made us all feel ill from the noxious smell. I had to return it because it was so bad. I learned that formaldehyde and other chemicals are allowed in Chinese memory foam products, but are not in US made.So I did my research and discovered Technogel pillows which are made in Italy. I'm happy to pay 3x the price for a quality Italian made product. I LOVE this pillow! Even after just the first night, it made a difference. It supports my head and neck like no other pillow I've used. It has a cooling side which is good for my pinched nerve in my neck and if I don't want the cool gel, I can turn it over and use the other side. I purchased the medium pillow which is perfect for me, but there are two other sizes available.Best of all, unlike reviews on the other $50 pillow complaining about a chemical odor, there is NO ODOR emanating from this pillow, whatsoever.It also comes with a soft, washable pillowcase. I just LOVE this pillow.Highly recommended, especially for anyone with head, neck or spine issues.A+

The pillow is not as cool as I expected it to be. And thinner than I expected it to be. I ordered the 4 inch. on the plus side. My head just melts in it like it’s the softest pillow ever. Yet still firm enough to support my head. I’ve tried a lot of micro fiber pillows which are very hard. This one has no Oder and for not being as cool as some of my other pillows I’ve had. This one has the best ventilation I’ve ever seen. Cause for it not feeling to cool my head stays cool all night. And I’m a very hot sleeper. I sleep with 3 fans on me all the time. And still end up getting my head sweats every night. But, with this pillow it all went away. I couldn’t be more happier with pillow. If for some reason it ever goes bad which I don’t think it ever will. But, if it does I’m getting it again. But, a 5 inch the next time. I’m a side and belly sleeper and it’s perfect for me. I’m only 5 foot 7 inches and weigh 200 lbs. I hope this review helps. I read the reviews first also before I purchased. Cause the price is a bit high. But, worth every penny to me anyway.
