If you find yourself struggling with hot flashes, menopause symptoms or night sweats that leave you tossing and turning (especially in the summer heat), you're not the only one. For many Canadians, getting a good night's sleep becomes even more challenging with age, especially when your body temperature fails to cooperate. Whether you're experiencing hormonal changes, age-related sleep disturbances or simply run hot, investing in a high-quality cooling pillow can make a huge difference.
Pillows made using breathable materials (like gel-infused memory foam and moisture-wicking fabrics) can help regulate your body temperature, relieve discomfort and keep you cool all night long. So, whether you're in the midst of a summer heat wave or a full-blown hot flash, we've rounded up the very best cooling pillows you can snag right now. If you want to sleep cooler, deeper and more comfortably, keep scrolling.

Best cooling pillows
Coop Home Goods Eden Cool+ Adjustable Pillow
Firmness: This pillow has an added gel-infused layer for extra cooling and support.
Inside the Coop Eden Cool+ pillow is gel-infused fill and materials that allow for better airflow, which help keep the heat away. On the outside, there's a soft, cool cover and a heat-wicking liner to keep things chill (literally). The memory foam and microfibre work together to prevent the pillow from trapping heat and moisture, making it a great pick if you tend to overheat at night or struggle with temperature regulation.
The pillow is also adjustable — just unzip the cover and add or remove filling to get the right firmness for you. Plus, it has two sides to choose from: one soft and cool, and the other firmer with extra cooling support. So, no matter which side you get, you can anticipate a cool and comfortable sleep.

Firmness: This pillow comes with a pouch of fill, so you can adjust its height and firmness.
If you're looking for the perfect pillow, this one is adjustable, so you can tailor the height and firmness to your liking. How? It comes with a pouch of fill so you can customize it to fit your comfort needs. So, whether you like a soft or firm pillow, you can easily change it up for that just-right feel. Plus, the cooling fabric will help keep your temperature regulated all night, so no more tossing and turning from overheating.
The materials consist of a super soft cotton lining and a mix of nylon and spandex on the outside. And the side zip closure makes it easy to add or remove the fill, giving you full control over the height. It's available in Standard/Queen (20' x 28') and King (20' x 36') sizes, too.
