The Huggable TEMPUR® Pillow That Keeps You Cool
The TEMPUR® Comfort SmartCool™ Pillow takes everything that defines the standard TEMPUR® Comfort Pillow and adds an active cooling dimension — combining TEMPUR® Extra Soft Material MicroCushions with an innovative SmartCool™ cover that continuously pulls heat away from the head throughout the night. It is TEMPUR®’s softest, most cloud-like pillow experience, now with the active cooling technology that warm sleepers need.

TEMPUR® Extra Soft Material MicroCushions — Even Softer Than the Standard Comfort
Inside the SmartCool™ Pillow, a sleeve crafted from TEMPUR® material is filled with TEMPUR® MicroCushions made from TEMPUR® Extra Soft Material — a specifically formulated variant of TEMPUR®’s material that is softer and more yielding than the standard TEMPUR® material used in the Comfort Pillow.
Each MicroCushion adapts precisely to the curvature of the head, neck, and shoulders — distributing pressure evenly across the contact surface and providing the pressure-relieving support that TEMPUR® material delivers. The Extra Soft formulation creates a more pronounced floating, cloud-like sensation — the head sinks more deeply and more gently into the filling, with the MicroCushions shifting and adapting around it continuously.
The result is TEMPUR®’s softest sleeping sensation — genuinely described as resting your head on a cloud — while still providing the structural adaptive support and pressure relief that defines the TEMPUR® experience. The MicroCushions construction gives the pillow a moveable, huggable quality that reshapes fluidly as you change position during the night.
SmartCool™ Technology — Active Cooling All Night
The SmartCool™ cover is where this pillow meaningfully distinguishes itself from the standard Comfort Pillow. TEMPUR®’s SmartCool™ Technology weaves cooling threads through the entire cover fabric — threads with naturally high heat conductivity that actively draw heat away from the head continuously rather than simply allowing it to dissipate passively.
The SmartCool™ cover is cool to the touch and maintains that sensation throughout the night — not just at the moment of first contact. For those who have previously found memory foam pillows uncomfortably warm, or who regularly wake up having flipped their pillow to find the cool side, the SmartCool™ technology addresses the root cause at the cover level. The cover is removable and machine washable at 40°C.

FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the TEMPUR® Comfort Pillow and the TEMPUR® Comfort SmartCool™ Pillow?
Both pillows use the TEMPUR® MicroCushions construction — a sleeve of TEMPUR® material filled with thousands of individual TEMPUR® MicroCushions that adapt to the head, neck, and shoulders. The differences lie in the material formulation and the cover technology.
The standard Comfort Pillow uses TEMPUR® material MicroCushions in a soft feel — providing the familiar adaptive TEMPUR® support in a huggable, classic pillow shape with a cover washable at 60°C.
The Comfort SmartCool™ uses TEMPUR® Extra Soft Material MicroCushions — a specifically softer formulation that creates a more pronounced floating, cloud-like sensation. It also adds SmartCool™ Technology in the cover — cooling threads woven through the fabric that actively draw heat away from the head continuously throughout the night. The SmartCool™ cover washes at 40°C.
Choose the standard Comfort if you want TEMPUR®’s adaptive support in a soft feel without a specific cooling requirement. Choose the SmartCool™ if you sleep warm, regularly feel too hot during the night, or want the softest, most cloud-like TEMPUR® pillow experience with active cooling.

Q: How does SmartCool™ technology work and is it genuinely different from a standard breathable cover?
Yes — SmartCool™ technology is meaningfully different from a standard breathable cover, and the distinction matters for warm sleepers.
A standard breathable pillow cover allows heat to escape passively — it does not restrict airflow, which reduces the rate of heat build-up but does not actively remove it. After a few hours, most breathable covers reach thermal equilibrium with the head and cease to provide a cooling sensation.
SmartCool™ Technology weaves threads with naturally high heat conductivity through the entire cover fabric. These threads actively conduct heat away from the skin at each contact point — drawing it toward the outer surface of the cover where it can dissipate into the surrounding air. This is an active process rather than a passive one: the cooling effect is maintained throughout the night because the thermal conductivity of the threads continuously moves heat rather than simply permitting it to escape.
The cover feels cool to the touch when you first lie down — and maintains that sensation for significantly longer than a standard breathable cover because the cooling mechanism is active rather than passive.
Q: Is the TEMPUR® Comfort SmartCool™ suitable for side sleepers specifically?
Yes — the combination of TEMPUR® Extra Soft Material MicroCushions and the SmartCool™ cover makes this pillow particularly well suited to side sleepers, for two specific reasons.
First, the Extra Soft MicroCushions adapt fluidly to the side of the head and the neck in the lateral position — distributing the weight of the head evenly across the contact surface and providing gentle, adaptive cervical support without the rigidity that can cause shoulder and neck tension in side sleepers.
Second, side sleepers typically generate more concentrated body heat at the face and neck contact area than back sleepers — because the face is closer to the pillow surface and the contact area is more concentrated. The SmartCool™ cover addresses this directly by continuously drawing heat away from precisely those areas throughout the night.
For side sleepers who also sleep warm, the combination of adaptive MicroCushions support and active SmartCool™ cooling makes this one of the most comprehensively suited TEMPUR® pillow options available.

Q: How do I care for the TEMPUR® Comfort SmartCool™ Pillow?
Care is straightforward — the key rule is to wash only the cover, never the MicroCushions filling.
Remove the SmartCool™ cover by unzipping it and machine wash at 40°C — following the care label guidance. The SmartCool™ cover washes at 40°C rather than the 60°C of the standard Comfort cover — this is because the SmartCool™ threads require a lower temperature to preserve the integrity of the cooling technology over time. Air dry where possible.
Never machine wash, soak, or submerge the TEMPUR® MicroCushions sleeve — doing so causes irreversible damage. If the inner sleeve needs freshening, air it regularly in a well-ventilated space.
Using a pillow protector beneath the cover is strongly recommended — it adds a hygiene layer between the cover and the MicroCushions, reduces how often the cover needs washing, and extends the pillow’s lifespan.
Q: The TEMPUR® Comfort SmartCool™ costs more than standard memory foam pillows — what justifies the price?
The price reflects three specific and verifiable distinctions from a standard memory foam pillow.
First, TEMPUR® Extra Soft Material: a specifically formulated variant of TEMPUR®’s proprietary viscoelastic material, produced to a formulation and density specification that standard memory foam manufacturers do not meet. The Extra Soft formulation creates a more yielding, cloud-like adaptive experience that generic soft foam cannot replicate.
Second, the MicroCushions engineering: filling a TEMPUR® material sleeve with thousands of individual TEMPUR® Extra Soft MicroCushions — each made from proprietary TEMPUR® material — is a more complex and expensive construction than cutting a block of standard foam. The resulting adaptive, moveable filling is unique to TEMPUR®’s Comfort range.
Third, SmartCool™ Technology: weaving thermally conductive cooling threads through the entire cover fabric — in a way that actively draws heat away throughout the night rather than passively permitting it to dissipate — is a technically engineered textile solution, not a basic breathable fabric.
OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN certification, Danish manufacturing, and Sleep Gallery’s home trial that removes all purchase risk complete the picture of a pillow whose premium is earned rather than simply charged.
