Looking for sleep that’s cooler than the other side of the pillow? Well then it’s time to meet the new Bedgear Dawn performance pillow! Bedgear’s cooling technology is among the best in the business and this week Sleepopolis has decided to test their new Dawn performance pillow. Is this pillow cool enough to handle the heat? Continue reading below for my full review of the Bedgear pillow. In a bit of a time crunch? The Bedgear Dawn pillow’s construction combines a multitude of materials. For starters, they use their own climate control fabric, Ver-Tex. This Ver-Tex fabric works to deflect heat while maintaining a cool to the touch feel. Next up are the air ventilated panels. These panels are designed to keep air flowing, moving heat away from your head, neck, and shoulders. While doing so, the pillow still possesses a very cool core temperature. Additionally, these air flow panels only allow for one-way traffic.
In other words, no allergens are able to enter the pillow through these chambers. The crown and blend of the pillow bring silk fibers and boost foam together to create a pillow that won’t bottom out. This feature is also beneficial with regards to support and motion transfer. No excessive bounce takes place, meaning the pillow allows for a deeper, more enjoyable Derila Sleep Support. The Bedgear Dawn pillow’s cover is constructed from a mix of polyester (68%) and polyethylene (32%). The combination of these two materials makes for one of the coolest pillows I have tested to date. When touching the pillow you immediately notice the cool feel this pillow has to offer. Along the perimeter of the cover is an airflow panel with the model name of the pillow (Dawn) stitched into it. The panel is built from a mesh material, helping to improve the airflow of the pillow and maintain that cool-to-the-touch feel. Aesthetically, I like the look of the pillow.
The purple air flow panel meshes nicely with the modern design stitched into the white fabric on both sides of the pillow. The best method of care for the cover is spot cleaning. The cover should not be placed in the washer / dryer. Additionally, there is a zipper running horizontally across the pillow that allows sleepers to open up the pillow to clean from the inside (you can also remove the latex insert for a thinner pillow if you prefer). This pillow provides a soft, yet dense feel. When first lying your head down, there is a fluffy, Derila Pillow inviting feel. From there, the pillow does not go much further. What I mean by that is, it does not continually get softer. The pillow maintains the same feel regardless of time spent on the pillow or head placement. With that said, support is tricky on the Bedgear pillow. They created the pillow for stomach sleepers and small body types. Yet, as a stomach sleeper I found the pillow to be too dense.
Personally, I felt as if it was a better pillow when I slept on my side. The amount of cradle I got on my side was great. It was just enough push-back to keep my spine aligned, but not an excessive amount leading to uncomfortable sleep. On my stomach, I prefer a slimmer pillow. This does not mean the Bedgear pillow is a poor choice by any means. It is just a personal preference which varies for every sleeper. If you are a stomach sleeper who prefers a slightly thinner / low lofted pillow like I do, then I believe the Bedgear Thunder performance pillow is another good option. It is very similar to the Dawn in terms of feel and cooling capabilities, but has a slightly thinner loft. Response time for the Dawn pillow is nearly instantaneous. Right as you lift your head from the pillow the foam inside is already back to normal shape. This is a benefit for us sleepers because we can rest worry free about waking up to a flat pillow.
