From sleep research • peer-reviewed, NIH 2025
Most hot sleepers say overheating is what keeps them awake.
82.5% of hot sleepers in a peer-reviewed study reported trouble sleeping because they felt too hot. Your pillow is in direct contact with your head all night - one of the body's primary heat release points. The Snow Pillow's Nordic chill fabric and Tencel fibres are engineered to draw heat away from the head and maintain a cooler surface temperature throughout the night.

The REM-Fit Snow Pillow uses Nordic chill fabric and Tencel fibres to wick away moisture and heat, dissipating warmth up to 10 times faster than cotton. Combined with a premium Visco memory foam filling, it stays cold to the touch even through a pillow case, making it one of the cooler options in the REM-Fit pillow range.
The Cooling Pillow Engineered to Stay Cold All Night
Suited to hot sleepers and anyone who struggles with overheating overnight. The combination of Nordic chill fabric and Tencel fibres makes this one of the more aggressively cooling pillows in the range, rather than just a standard breathable cover.
What makes it different?
Most cooling pillows rely on breathable fabric alone, but the Snow Pillow's Nordic chill fabric is genuinely cold to the touch, and continues working even with a pillow case on top. Paired with Visco memory foam, you get active cooling on top of the usual pressure relief benefits. Pairs well with any REM-Fit hybrid mattress for a complete, temperature-regulated sleep setup.
Frequently asked questions
Do cooling pillows actually work?+
Yes, though it depends on the design. The Snow Pillow uses Nordic chill fabric and Tencel fibres to draw heat and moisture away from your head, dissipating warmth up to 10 times faster than cotton, so the surface stays cooler for longer instead of trapping heat like a standard pillow. It is cold to the touch from the moment you lie down and keeps working even with a pillow case on top, backed by our 100-night trial so you can test it risk-free.
Is there a pillow that stays cold all night?+
The Snow Pillow is built for exactly this. Its Nordic chill fabric is genuinely cold to the touch and, paired with heat-wicking Tencel fibres, resists the warming that affects ordinary pillows through the night.
What is the difference between the Snow Pillow and a gel cooling pillow?+
Both keep you cool, in different ways. The Snow Pillow focuses on staying genuinely cold through the night with Nordic chill fabric and Tencel fibres over a Visco memory foam core. Our Good Housekeeping Winner 2026
500 Cool Gel Pillow pairs cooling gel with memory-foam support. Choose the Snow Pillow if cold is your priority, or the Cool Gel Pillow if you want cooling plus contouring support.
What does the Snow Pillow feel like?+
It has a supportive, pressure-relieving feel from its premium Visco memory foam filling, with the cooling Nordic chill surface on top. It suits hot sleepers who want memory-foam support without the heat build-up that foam can sometimes cause.
Is it suitable for hot sleepers?+
Yes. The Snow Pillow is one of REM-Fit's most aggressively cooling pillows, designed for hot sleepers and anyone who flips to the cool side of the pillow at night. It comes with free UK delivery, 0% finance options and a 100-night trial.
