Product Insights
Simons Maison Cooling Gel Memory Foam Pillow Firm Support offers a very firm 7-8/10 feel that many liken to a wood plank, providing consistent spine alignment and shoulder pressure relief for side sleepers. Its gel layer provides cooling for 3–4 hours, while the foam side adds warmth in winter. However, strong off-gassing odor from the blue gel can cause headaches and takes one to two weeks to dissipate. The 6-inch loft holds its height all night, but stomach sleepers may experience neck hyperextension. At $49.95, it delivers value comparable to pricier orthopedic pillows, though the polyester cover can cause pillowcase slippage and reduce cooling by 40–60%.

Great
A little off gas smell but let it sit out, nice queen size pillow , firm which I like, great price , like the size sometimes queen is much smaller this one actually fits the pillowcase.
Not very cool
We found these pillows extremely firm and not cool at all. I have a different cooling pillow and the lower temperature is noticeable. Not this pillow.
Emballage cadeau
Lors de la commande vous m'aviez offert un emballage cadeau pour un cadeau d'anniversaire avec note Bon Anniversaire Emmanuel. Lors de la reception de l'oreiller il n'y avait aucun emballage cadeau ni carte de voeux d'anniversaire.

Harsh chemical smell, unusable
The cheap polyester they used in this is full of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that need to off-gas. However, even after 4 days in bright sunlight, covered in baking soda, the pillow still smells. Plus it turns a bright yellow. Simons used to have such high-quality items.
Wow
Super confortable
Firm and cool
The pillow is quite nice, I am quite happy with the purchase. The only reason I did not rate it a 5 is because the pillow has a fairly strong synthetic smell (I have my own pillow case protector and pillow case on it, and I can still smell it). It isn’t something that bothers me enough not to use it because the firmness and coolness of the pillow is just too good to pass up.
Oreiller vraiment rafraîchissant !
Un deuxième pour moi, soutien ferme parfait. Erreur toutefois sur la taille pour ce deuxième achat, un peu trop grand
Great support but slippery
The cooking feature is great, and it provides perfect support for a side sleeper. But the material is so slippery, the pillow cases are always sliding off.

Horrible chemical smell which is less but still present. Am leaving it out to air.
Great pillow, priced where it should be.
I am a great believer in getting what you pay for and this is a perfect example of that. Much higher quality than similarly priced options from that delivery service, named after a jungle, and much cheaper than many comparable options that bring nothing more to the product.

Finally found a pillow that’s truly firm! Always wanted one! Love love love!
Great pillow but weird smell
It’s the perfect firm pillow! Another review (in French) mentioned a weird smell and I have the same experience. It seems to be coming from the blue cooling side material and it’s quite off putting. Airing it out for a week or two helps a little bit.
Fraîcheur insatisfaisante
Un peu déçu. La fraîcheur ne dure pas plus que quelques secondes. Par contre, le soutien cervical est bon,

Love it!
I've never had a memory foam pillow before so I don't have much to compare it to, but this pillow is extremely comfortable and does have a nice cooling effect. I think it's great for the price!
Cooling gel memory pillow
It is slightly bigger than normal queen size. It is not as cool as I wanted, but so far is the best of all the ones I have.
Loving it!
Met my expectation for a firm pillow. No more neck pain in the morning. Looking forward to try the side with cooling pad when the weather gets warmer
Pillow way too long
I love the firmness of the pillow but they are way too long. It is supposed to be queen size but in reality they are king size. Would not buy again

Enfin !!
L'oreiller que je recherchais depuis 2 ans. J'ai enfin perdu mes maux d'épaules depuis que je dors avec cet oreiller. Le prix du rabais était super. Merci !!
Beaucoup plus rigide que prévu
Oreiller extrêmement dur, ne ramollit pas. Très déçue qu’elle soit si dur, c’est comme une grosse planche de bois. J’avais déjà acheté l’ancien model et il avait ramolli des le début en offrant un soutien ferme mais confortable, là aucun confort.
Parfait.
Confortable et acheté à rabais, je ne regrette pas.

My husband approves
Hard to find king sized memory foam pillows. My husband has tried it and is really liking it. He’s a side and back sleeper, so likes a bit of thickness. It offers support while still being slightly soft. Would recommend.
New go to pillow
Got this pillow for almost 2 weeks. Like the firmness, comfortable during sleep and good support for head and neck. Love it.
Élégante et confortable
L'odeur est vraiment désagréable et persistante, et ce, même si j'ai lavé l'enveloppe. Pour ce qui est du confort, c'est un bon rapport qualité/prix.
Good firm foam pillow
Firm enough and didn’t lose shape. Hope it will last a few months.

Firm pillow
A bit firmer than what I would have liked however, I'm starting to get used to it. What bothers me more is that the pillow case doesn't stay put because the pillow's fabric is too slippery.

J'ai retourné cet oreiller car il avait une odeur nauséabonde
Insatisfait
J’ai acheté 2 oreillers en ai essayé un et j’ai très mal dormi. Je vous s ai retourné un oreiller qui n’avait pas été déballé . Ayant essayé un pour une nuit, je ne pouvais pas le retourné en raison de son utilisation. Je ne l’utiliserai pas . Je ne recommande pas, trop ferme pour moi.

Too firm… like a rock!
Way to hard, unfortunately I had to return it.
Plus moelleux qu'il en a l'air. . . .
Cet oreiller en apparence pas très moelleux se ramollit bien lorsqu'on s'accote la tête dessus. Il me sera un allié indispensable pour les journées plus chaudes d'été .
Super
Très bonne qualité. Ferme et bonne fraîcheur.
Nice but not for me
Very nice pillow, good quality but very firm and not for me. Wanted to like this pillow because it is well made and liked that is has a cooling effect but after 1 hour I developed a headache. Had to return it, customer service was excellent, as always.
Perfect for back sleepers
I love this pillow! I’m a back sleeper and prefer a firmer pillow, like this one. It’s also great for when I sleep on my side. I wouldn’t recommend for a stomach sleeper. It’s longer than a regular pillow, which I prefer, but still fits in a queen-sized pillowcase. I strongly recommend!
Exactly what was needed
Perfect support for side and back sleeping.

Bad smell
The pillow smells awful. It's impossible to sleep on it because the bad smell is so strong, even after a week! Will be returning it.
Odeur persistante
Je n’ai pas eu la chance de l’essayer car l’oreiller dégage une forte odeur désagréable. Je l’ai laissé s’aérer quelques jours et sans résultat. Je l’ai donc échangé pour un qui n’a pas les alvéoles refroidissantes.
