- Is this pillow good for side sleepers?
- Mostly no. At about 2 inches thick it is too flat to fill the gap between the neck and shoulder that side sleepers need. Back and stomach sleepers are the better fit.
- Does the cooling cover actually feel cool?
- Owners say the cover feels cooler than a plain cotton pillowcase, but it is a surface treatment, not active cooling. It will not stay cold all night.
- Can I wash it?
- Yes, it is machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle and dry thoroughly, since some owners report the polyester fill clumping after washing.
- What size is it?
- It is a standard pillow at 26 by 18 inches and about 2 inches thick. It fits standard pillowcases; Casper does not offer this model in queen or king.
- How does it compare with Casper's other pillows?
- It is the thinnest and simplest option. Casper's other pillows are thicker or adjustable, which suits side sleepers and people who want to change the loft.
- Is it worth it?
- For a low, soft pillow with a cooler cover, yes. If you need firm neck support or a pillow that holds its shape for years, a denser or adjustable pillow is the better buy.
- Where is the Casper Sleep Essential Cooling cheapest?
- At Target, for $50.00, as of our latest check.
