This Cooling Body Pillow Is Designed to Be the Ultimate Accessory for Side-Sleepers

You don't necessarily need to upgrade your mattress to improve the quality of your sleep. If you're a side-sleeper who gets hot easily at night, or find that you wake up with aches and pains in the morning, then the Clone Pillow may be your path to a better night's sleep. The new cooling body pillow made with memory foam—currently available on Kickstarter—is specifically made to help people who sleep on their sides get the best rest possible.

Studies suggest that sleeping on your side might come with some health benefits—research shows that the position can combat mild sleep apnea and promote organ health—but it has its downsides, too: Without a cushion for your knees, sleeping on your side can cause aches and pains. And that's where the Clone Pillow comes in.

Every element of the pillow is designed for comfort. The contoured shape fits snugly against your body, and the shredded memory foam filling supports your weight while you sleep on your side or in the fetal position. It can help support your body if you're pregnant, have an injury, deal with back pain, or just need something to curl up with at night.

The pillow is designed to keep you from overheating, too. The removable gel panel on the pillow's exterior stays cool even on warm nights, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable in the heat. And if you ever want something with a different feel, the pillow also comes with a cotton case that zips over the gel layer.

If you're looking for a sleep accessory that will support you through the night, Clone Pillow has a little less than a month to go in its crowdfunding campaign. You can reserve your pillow with a pledge of $99 or more, with shipping scheduled for June.
