Our take

Stay cool with this adjustable, bamboo-covered pillow.

Alright, so the Plixio Memory Foam Pillow — it promises the world, but does it deliver? First off, the memory foam itself is pretty solid. You lay your head down, and it’s like the pillow just gets you. It contours to your head and neck in a way that feels supportive but not too squishy. It's a nice balance of firmness and softness that a lot of folks seem to be after. If you're the kind of person who tosses and turns all night, this pillow might just be your new best friend.

That said, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Some people might find this pillow a bit too firm, especially if you’re used to a feather pillow that feels like a cloud. If you prefer something ultra-soft, this isn't your guy. It’s more on the supportive side, which is great for keeping your spine aligned but maybe not as cozy-comfy as some might like. Also, it can take a couple of nights to get used to, so don’t give up on it too soon.

One of the perks here is the cooling effect. If you’re someone who wakes up in the middle of the night because your pillow feels like a furnace, the Plixio does a decent job at staying cool. It doesn’t seem to trap heat the way some memory foams do, so you’re not battling a sweaty pillow situation. But, remember, it’s not a miracle worker — if your room is hot, it’s still going to be warm, just less so.

Now, let's talk about the smell. Like most memory foam products, this pillow has a bit of an off-gassing issue right out of the package. It’s not unbearable, but you might want to let it air out for a day or two before you start using it, especially if you’re sensitive to smells. Once it’s aired, the smell fades pretty quick, so it’s not a long-term issue.

Overall, the Plixio Memory Foam Pillow is a strong contender if you’re looking for something that’s supportive and stays relatively cool. It's not going to work for everyone, especially if you’re into super soft pillows, but for those needing neck support, it’s worth a shot. Just have some patience with the initial smell and firmness, and you might find it’s just what you’ve been looking for. If you can get past those quirks, it’s a pretty reliable pillow to have in your corner, or under your head, rather.
