I'm impressed. I have used cooling pillow cases before, and found them effective, but the cooling material have always been on just one side. These are 100% cooling material. The material is super smooth and silky feeling. It is great feeling against hair and skin (even better than my old polyester satin I was using before cooling pillowcases). The material is cool, and does not seem to get hot hot. The pillow cases are super stretchy with a small hidden zipper. They grab onto the pillow and dont loosen up. Makes my pillow look neat and clean, not sloppy from loose material. I can even have two pillows stacked and somehow despite being a smooth material, the pillows dont just slide off each other.The cooling aspect works by not trapping heat, not allowing heat to get to the pillow and hold it there. So yeh, the pillow case will feel warm eventually but if you have a fan, or AC, or flip the pillow, then it is is truly cool. Otherwise in my experience when I use a pillow without this, the pillow just gets hot, stays hot, and even with flipping it feels hot.. because the pillow itself has trapped the heat for remainder of night. Yuck.One thing to know and this is very important-- as I learned the hard way-- DO NOT DRY IN DRYER. DO NOT WASH IN HOT WATER. Heat will destroy the material ability to feel and stay cool. Do you want a regular heat trapping pillow case? Then go ahead and dry these in the dryer a few times and you will have a regular pillow case. HOw do I know? I bought these to replace another set (different brand, same idea, same instructions that I failed to remember). I always dried them in the dryer, and one night after having gloriously cool pillows, I noticed that my pillow was HOT night after night. It was then when looking for another set of pillow cases that I learned that they cant be exposed to heat like that. SO PLEASE, just AIR DRY.And so, after I got these and put them on my pillows, I had a much better nights rest. I remember thinking that I wasnt waking to rearrange my pillows. They were just comfortable all night long. Sure, I'd love an even colder pillow, but our room is on the warm side. But at least I wasnt noting the hot hot pillows anymore.

These work great to keep me cool but I still get sweaty, just not as much. They're a little slick, but I noticed they are softer on my hair and face. They really DO stay cool, great for summer, hot flashes and night sweats. I was able to sleep through the night without waking up drenched.

These pillow cases are great! They are so comfortable. They keep my neck and face cool through the night. No more pillow case wrinkles on my face in the morning. I bought the blue ones and the color is nice. The price is very good. I am very happy with them and would definitely recommend them.

Better option than a cooling pillow since I put a pillow case on. Great option and it works great. Cooling effect. Washes well and even has a zipper so it does not fall off pillow in sleep. Very soft and smooth comfortable feeling.

I purchased these cases as I struggle with horrible hot flashes all night. While these feel cool to the touch initially, they do warm up quickly. I have to flip it and then both sides become hot. I have to set the pillows to the side for a bit to let them cool again. I also purchased because I have curly hair and cannot sleep with a bonnet or my hair up. These are not that silky and work similar to a regular pillow case. I had high hopes for these, but did not work as well as described in description.

I love these! It gets so hot here in the summer, and I can not sleep with the heat. I searched all over, trying to find something to help, and found these. These work so well! They are cool to the touch and feel great at night! They stay cooler for longer periods than normal pillowcases, and they don't screw up my hair either! Definitely worth the purchase!!

These pillowcases are wonderful! They feel good on my skin, keep my pillow cool and look beautiful!

The queen size fits my Tempur-Pedic Cloud pillow perfectly. Stretchy material conforms to the contours of pillow, which retains the pillow’s soft feel but adds cooling protection, at a reasonable price.

El acabado de las fundas está bien y la tela es suave. No me funcionó para sentirme fresca. Al contrario, siento que la tela acumula el calor en vez de disiparlo porque van varias noches que despierto sintiendo caliente la almohada.

First wash first use. Stitches at end of zipper starts running.

They are soft, more cool, and very comfortable.

At first they are very cool pillows to the touch. Soft, slippery, silky texture. Good stretch. The hidden zippers are nice (a main reason why I bought them as my other pillowcases would always slide off). It does get warm eventually, of course, so I just flip it to the other side and it's cool again. Other pillows on Amazon are NOT double-sided cooling material, but this one is - which is what I was looking for.Slight "cons" for me though. Upon opening, the pillows were nice and smooth (see image 1). After a first wash (in a mesh bag as recommended) in cold water, the pillows did have small thread tearing (see image 2) and also very minor pilling (see image 3). Nothing too concerning that I'd need to replace, but I just wanted to mention it. The description does say it "does not pill", but it did for me very slightly and it looks like my pillowcases obtained some thread "scars". Still a very good pillowcase!
