WEEKENDER Ventilated Memory Foam Pillow Reviews Summary

Comfort and Support

Pros:

• "I love this pillow. It’s got the right amount of support for any position and I get significantly less headaches with it."
• "It’s soft, but still supportive. This is the first time I haven’t felt like I had to have my arm under a pillow to help support my head."
• "This pillow gives me excellent support. No more neck or shoulder pain."
• "I was having an issue with my neck not being in line when sleeping on my back or side... This pillow takes some getting used to but I have zero neck pain, zero upper shoulder pain and fewer tension headaches since using this pillow."
• "It is soft but supports my head when I sleep on my side so my shoulder isn’t squished."
• "It's firm enough to not deform while resting your head, but still extremely comfortable."
• "Provides support for my neck and shoulders."

Cons:

• "Comfortable-ish until your head settles and then either your chin kinda touches your collarbone if you’re a back sleeper or your ear kinda touches your shoulder if you’re a side sleeper and you feel like you need to constantly need to readjust your pillow."
• "I like tall, pretty firm pillows. This pillow is SO hard and unyielding, like a brick with only some thin padding."
• "The pillow is very firm and a bit too tall but the support was good."
• "The pillow is way too thick to properly support my neck and shoulders."
• "I am both a back sleeper and a side sleeper. I have the HARDEST time finding the best pillow. This pillow was great for side sleeping, but my neck hurt when laying on my back."
• "It's too thick and doesn't seem to have enough give to cradle my head and instead holds my head at a bad angle and I wake with a super sore neck."
• "Your head barely sinks in and there is nowhere for your shoulder to nestle."

Cooling Effect

Pros:

• "The pillow is long and somehow seems to stay perfectly cool at all times - no flipping it over to the cold side during hot summer nights."
• "It's cool to the touch, and it breathes."
• "Pillow has holes throughout built into it's design, making it breathable and a bit cooler than my prior memory foam pillow."
• "It's not quite as cool as my old pillow (which had a layer of cooling gel on top of the pillow, this one is just built-in to the pillow itself) it does seem to keep decently cool throughout the night."
• "Cool side is wonderful & in middle of night when hot I turn it around & im cool again."
• "Slightly cooler. Seems to resist picking up body heat compared to my other pillows."
• "Stays somewhat cool in the summer heat as well which is nice."

Cons:

• "However, when I put a pillowcase on it, then put in on the bed, then laid my head on it sideways...no coolness existed, and my head got warm."
• "Although, i will say ive been sweating a lot more since having it so believe that the pillow definitely doesn't have the cooling effect."
• "Now the bad, there’s only one thing I can say bad is that the description says that it’s a cooling pillow. I can say it doesn’t seem as hot as other pillows but I still sweat with it some nights."
• "The only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is that I cannot stay cool at night with it."
• "The cooling feature is nonexistent, and both my husband and I woke up sweaty."
• "After using this pillow for about two or three months I am giving it up. I found that it was too firm for me and was disappointed that it was not as cooling as I expected."
• "The claim of being a 'Ventilated Cooling Pillow' falls short of expectations. Despite the presence of gel memory foam, the cooling effect is minimal at best."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Good quality only a little bit of that foam smell."
• "After daily use there is no weak points, no sag."
• "The cover is made well."
• "Has held up well."
• "This seems to have checked all the boxes with the right balance of firmness yet comfort, size, temperature and durability."
• "Still good after 4 years."
• "The memory foam is great quality and very cooling."

Cons:

• "This pillow stays good JUST long enough that once you realize its terrible quality, you can no longer return it."
• "It's obvious that this product is very cheaply made."
• "Somehow, six weeks later, they are completely flat."
• "It just seems to be super poor quality material that cannot last long since I already feel a difference in softness on the side I use vs the other side."
• "The foam seemed poorly made."
• "Beware as quality control and consistency for this product seem to be lacking."
• "This pillow is really comfortable to begin with, but after 4-6 months it flattens out."
