Cooling Pad for Bed - Pressure Activated Gel Provides Instant Relief - Ideal for Fevers, Hot Flashes, Night Sweats

I wish I'd bought the smaller ones, because wow do these things cool you down! Too much!Don't lie on these directly skin-to-pad because you will stick to it and get uncomfortable.Don't stay on them too long because they'll heat up to your body temp and be ineffective.I highly highly recommend buying two smaller ones, not one large one, not only because they're dense and unwieldy, but so that you can switch off and allow one to cool you off while the other sits over there somewhere and dissipates its collected body heat. Also, you'll have more control over how much of your body is chilled at once.And if you buy more than one, you can put one in your dog's bed and help your pup cool off too. And I wonder...if I buy a small enough pad, could I maybe ALWAYS have a nice cool pillow???

First thing you should know is this sucker is HEAVY! It's heavier and floppier than a weighted blanket. It's like moving a dead body in the middle of the night kinda heavy (Eh....ok...I'm guessing here, really, I have zero actual experience moving corpses nor do I have any plans to. Ew. I promise, this is just a guess, but it is super heavy and impossible to move half awake! Like trying to move your kid after they fall asleep in the car kinda heavy). So do not plan (like I dumbly did) to move it around when you need it. I already had the "pillow" so I thought I could move this. NO way irl.Next thing is it does get hot after a while because it sucks the heat out of you. So if you heat up it's better to have room so YOU can move since this is a heavy slab of flappy corpse (again, guessing, but you get the idea). But suck the heat out of you? Yes indeed. And it's gloriously cold.The other thing is I would not leave it in the bed in the morning. It feels almost damp and I would worry about mold even with my tempurpedic mattress. SO air it all out, but that said it is 100% worth it if you have night sweats or sudden bursts of heat from medicine, medical stuff, or menopause, or are blessed like me and have all the above. So no one else has to suffer with my turning the air to arctic because I suddenly turn into lava or a furnace-like a pizza oven in Florida in August.I slept so well with this! And the heat build up for my aches and stuff is not a bother. It actually felt nice because I go from super hot to freezing.I hope it lasts and will update after a time. Hope that helps!

This cooling mat (small, pillow-sized) performed as described by the manufacturer. But, cooling lasted only 1 hour.The mat is not comfortable directly on skin; I place a thin towel over the mat before laying on it. For longer cooling, one would need at least two mats to use in rotation. I used the mat in combination with a standard ice pack (wrapped in towel) to keep cool all night. Have only been using this mat for about a week, so its durability is untested. Interesting cooling technology, but ice packs work, too.

The pad is a good size. It looks well made. It feels cool when you first get on it. However, it definitely does NOT last 3hrs. It’s probably more like 20min. It also seems to retain the heat it takes off you. I am returning the product due to the amount paid and not enough cooling time.

It works! I brought the pad on a trip as I always sleep hot when away from my usual. It stays cold for a while and then I set it aside to recover and use it some more. I wake up frequently so it doesn't bother me to move it around to recharge.

Here's an honest review. Does it STAY cool? No. It ladt about 5- 10 minutes. I move my head to one side and when it's not cool anymore slide to other end. Once it's hot from your body heat I put it aside and in 10 mi uses or so it's cool again. I also bought the full body one. Best described as cool sheets you move to a cool spot,,when it's not cool, move. They are both GREAT PRODUCTS IF YOURE REASONABLE IN KNOWING WHAT IT DOES. YES, it's cold or " cool" - I can actually sleep through horrible hot flashes I get from my cancer medications. Don't listen to bad reviews, nothing is going to STAY COLD forever. This is great, buy 2, have cold sleep all the time. Alternate them! GREAT PRODUCT

Hoped it would provide some cooling during night sweats but in just a few minutes at best was it slightly cool.

I was skeptical but it actually works. Whether just and arm, leg or most of you body this thing actually is cooling. I'm not sure how long it lasts with consistent use as I fell asleep. As it states 3 hours is how long it is supposed to last. Doesn't need refrigeration or freezer, it just is cooling, thermal transfer from you to it making you cooler. Give it a rest and it works again. Good buy if you sleep hot or spend a lot of time outside in hot weather. This would be good for use in a vehicle, but I doubt you should leave it in the vehicle, only when you use it, or if you have van it might be okay.
