My 8 year old son wants a pillow to keep his head cool. Is this a good one?

Better than anything else I've tried. Great support and u can shape it according to your need. Make sure you get the standard size, the other one is way too small.

Both my husband and I have these pillows, and neither of us has noticed our heads being hot or cold; they are very heat neutral, I would call it. However, make sure that your eight-year old likes a really hard pillow. My grandson is 8 and he thought it was too hard. Be aware, though, that the buckwheat moves around to form to your head and then pretty much stays put. We love it, but not sure about a child. You could always get him one, and if it doesn't work for him - you could use it!

This pillow doesn't get hot at all, ever. It is a totally different kind of pillow, though. If you are not familiar with buckwheat pillows, they are not "fluffy" at all. Very supportive, you can form it to your head and neck and it will stay there all night. I love mine, I have neck issues and also hate a hot head when I sleep. Good luck!

I've found this pillow cooler, but note it's something like resting your head on a firm bean bag; it's not fluffy or soft. In fact it's a heavy pillow that would injure someone in a pillow fight. I still like and use mine, but its just a different experience.

I got this pillow for my grandson when was about 2. He didn't like it at all. I think it was too hard, or maybe his head wasn't heavy enough (despite his huge brain! ha) to sink down into it.

I bought it for my grandson who is 5 and he loved it. The pillow was a nice size and great quality.

It is a little better than a regular pillow on keeping your head cool, I also purchased a cooling pillow which I alternate throughout the night.

I used it for my daughter since she was 1week old. The pillow has many holes for heat release and i felt this is crucial especially in case the baby faces down when she learnt to turn her head-at least can breathe better. My daughter is 9mth old and her head is round so I guess it works with preventing flat head syndrome. She's still using it now!

Cathryn, I like the pillow and am warm natured. I did not notice a huge cooling effect, but I also believe it is better than the tempurpedic. My short answer is "yes." My long answer is that when compared to other pillows I would say it had a cooling factor but that it was not anything revolutionary. That said, I'd buy it again.

My youngest son uses this pillow when we go camping. He has no complaints and is plenty firm.

I don't have children at home anymore but I use this for head and neck support rather than a "neck pillow". I can say that it is very comfortable and retains its shape. It is 13" x 18" and would make a nice decorative pillow if you could make a cover. I think it could also be used for lumbar support. Definitely good quality and Amazon sells a very nice pillowcase that fits! RR

It has very supportive headrest for my son. He always leans his head to the sides so it supports him well.

My son has slept better in this one than his previous seat. He hasn't had much head wobbling.

It actually only works for bigger kids bc there is not a divot where the neck rests so if it a small child it actually pushes their head forward if they fall asleep. It is really soft and cozy for relaxing in their car seat but not great for sleeping. I have a 5, 3 and 1 yr old and can't use it for sleeping for any of them. Hope that helps!

I think it does help; however, my son says it's uncomfortable so he doesn't wear it like he should. It's probably uncomfortable because he slouches?

I use a folded sweater between my son's head and side support. Like a pillow.

My son has been using this for quite sometime and we do not see any issues with it. Except for the split in the middle, it is very comfortable for his night sleep usage. Many days even my husband sleeps on it and does not have any complaints. I use a twin set over the top and did not feel any hot issues.

We bought this pillow and are very satisfied with it; however, we do not sell anything related to it. We are simply the customer in this case. Sorry. You might try Googling "pillow protectors for kids" to see what you come up with.

It might be a bit too firm for a child that young..a great pillow but for teen or adult from my experience. Might ask your pediatrician. Merry Christmas.:)

It offers an appropriate level of head and neck support. Granted there are better ones in the market. I bought 2 because I have twins. The head support can be adjusted vastly to meet the needs of the child. The best thing about the head support is that it is extremely padded, soft and cushioned. One of the best. I am very happy with my purchase and have been using it for 8 months.
