Which is better for side sleepers?

The Cool Gel Ultimate's medium-soft top cushions shoulders and hips more. The MLILY's medium feel suits side sleepers who want more support.

Is the MLILY worth it over the Cool Gel?

Yes for most shoppers. It costs $229.99 versus $659.99 and has a much larger rating base, 671 versus 81.

Neither maker gives a warranty length here. Both use high-density foam bases of 8.5 and 8 inches, so expect similar life from the foam.

Both use gel-infused foam. The Cool Gel adds a ventilated top layer, and the MLILY adds bamboo charcoal gel foam and a cooling knit cover.

Do both work on an adjustable base?

The MLILY lists adjustable bases as compatible. The Cool Gel page does not list frame compatibility, so check before buying.

Which is better for couples?

The MLILY, because it reduces motion transfer and has a removable cover. The Cool Gel's soft top may feel less supportive for heavier sleepers.
