TempurPedic TEMPUR Cloud Pillow Review

TEMPUR-Cloud is the most popular TempurPedic pillow, and utilizes the brand’s signature TEMPUR material to achieve conforming, pressure relieving comfort.

Design And Construction

In true TempurPedic fashion, the TEMPUR-Cloud Pillow is constructed using their signature memory foam material. In fact, this TempurPedic pillow is one continuous slab of memory foam. The cover, on the other hand, is made of 100% polyester and is machine-washable, which is nice in case of a drool stain or a spill from drinking coffee in bed. Just make sure to follow the care instructions on the cover for cleaning.

Uncompressed, the pillow’s loft is about a 5”, which is about standard for most pillows we see out there. It’s not on the thick or thin end, but rather right in the middle. When you do compress the pillow, however, it has about a 2-3” loft. Now, this is specific to your size, frame, and sleeping position, but it will be about 2-3” for most people.

Feel And Firmness

TempurPedic beds are known for their dense memory foam feel. However, the particular memory foam in this TempurPedic Pillow is a little softer in terms of its ILD rating. As such, rather than a firmer, slow sink-in feel, you’ll feel the softness of this memory foam pillow right away. You can see it here on Amazon and on TempurPedic’s website.

Also, memory foam tends to be a bit firmer in the winter time when it’s cooler out and softer when it’s in a warmer environment. You won’t notice a drastic change with the TempurPedic pillow, but you may experience a slightly softer or firmer pillow depending on the temperature.

Cloud Pillow Sleeper Types

We see the pillow being best for petite and medium-size individuals that sleep on their back and side. You need to make sure that you’re keeping proper spinal alignment and that your neck isn’t out of whack, but for most people between 100 lbs and 200 lbs it will best for back/side sleepers. If you have a larger frame (over ~200 lbs), you will probably be just fine as a stomach sleeper with this pillow.

TEMPUR-Cloud Pillow Price

One of the reasons why this pillow could be so popular is because of its low price compared to the other TempurPedic pillow models, particularly the TEMPUR-Breeze pillow. TEMPUR-Cloud is available in one standard size, and retails around $79. While it’s not the most affordable pillow you can get your hands on, it is definitely reasonably priced for a quality product coming from a well-known, premium brand.

Final Comments On The TEMPUR-Cloud Pillow

While it’s not our favorite pillow in the world, there is a lot to like about it. It’s comfortable and accommodating, plus has a machine-washable cover. Whether it’s worth $80 per pillow, that’s up to you. But, if you want a memory foam pillow that’s durable and medium in terms of size/loft, it’s a pretty good option.

TempurPedic Breeze Cooling Pillow Review

This TempurPedic pillow is ideal for individuals who tend to warm up during the night. It is a little on the pricey side, but hot sleepers may very well see the value in it if it means a more comfortable sleep.

Construction And Design

This is a dual-sided memory foam pillow. TempurPedic calls the foam a “Lightweight TEMPUR material,” but that’s just marketing speak for memory foam.

The way the pillow is constructed is pretty straightforward. You have a memory foam slab with a cooling strip on either side, and a cotton cover. The cooling material is what TempurPedic calls “TEMPUR-Breeze Gel” and it’s actually cool to the touch, much like the gel strip that you see on the Leesa Hybrid Pillow.

It’s actually a really nice cover, and it’s machine washable just like the cover on the Cloud TempurPedic pillow. This Breeze TempurPedic pillow, however, has an uncompressed loft of 6.4″ and a compressed loft of about 3-4″.

Breeze Pillow Feel

Since the gel strip is on both sides of the pillow and it’s an active-cooling material, it actually sleeps very cool at night. In fact, if you don’t sleep really hot at night, this pillow almost certainly is not for you. Just like the beds on our Best Cooling Mattresses list aren’t for cold sleepers, the TEMPUR-Cloud Breeze Dual Cooling Pillow is only recommended for people that sleep abnormally hot.

As for the firmness of the pillow, it’s about a medium-soft, although memory foam does soften over time.

Sleeper Types

We think this pillow is best for medium and larger individuals. It wouldn’t be our favorite pillow for petite sleepers as it’s not adjustable (i.e. you cannot add or take away from the loft) and will simply be too tall for many people with a shorter, smaller frame. Of course, this is a general statement, but we think petite sleepers are better off looking for a thinner pillow.

Also given the loft of the pillow, it’s going to be preferable for back and side sleepers. Stomach sleepers, however, mostly likely will not enjoy it unless they hug the edges of the pillow.

When sleeping on your back, you want to make sure that your head is facing more or less straight up. This will help to maintain the natural “C” curvature in your neck. If you feel the pillow pushing your head forwards, the pillow likely has too much loft for you.

For side sleepers, you’re looking to follow a straight line from your nose down your spine. If you’re head is cocked up too much, this can cause a good amount of pain and discomfort to your neck. Especially if you’re sleeping like this for 6-8 hours.

Breeze Pillow Price

There are a few avenues you can use to purchase this pillow. You can buy on TempurPedic’s website, although they don’t seem to discount the pillow much. Or you can purchase via Amazon, which from what we’ve seen is the cheaper alternative.

This is not a cheap pillow and it will not be an impulse purchase for you. It’s made for a specific type of sleeper, and most other people will just say “pass”.

This pillow starts at $169, which makes it one of the more expensive pillows we’re reviewed—even pricier than the Helix Pillow and Layla Pillow.

There is a glimmer of good news though. Amazon tends to mess around with pricing for this pillow. We’ve seen it as low as around $130 for the queen size, which, yes, is still expensive, but much more palatable than $169.

Verdict On TempurPedic’s Cooling Pillow

This pillow is definitely not for everyone. On price alone, TempurPedic will be turning away a lot of prospective customers. That said, if you’re looking for an ice cold memory foam pillow and price isn’t an issue for you, the TEMPUR-Cloud Breeze should be on your short list of pillows to try out.
