My decades-long quest for the perfect pillow ends here, but prepare to forget everything you think you know about memory foam

The Cloudpillo Original cooling pillow pictured in its box and on a bed, featuring pastel-coloured stripy bedding.

The Cloudpillo is the new kid on the block in the world of pillows but this customisable, ergonomically-designed pillow filled with offcuts of shredded memory foam is already a best-seller in the Netherlands - which is home to the world's best sleepers. More than a million Cloudpillos have been sold since the company's launch in 2021.

If you’re searching for the best cooling pillows, it’s probably safe to assume that you, like me, are familiar with the torture of getting hot and bothered at night. I'll be 49 on my next birthday, so my sweaty state is officially due to perimenopause. But whether night sweats are caused by a health condition or just overheating easily makes little difference - the mere mention of a cooling pillow is like a soothing balm to us sleepless souls who just can't seem to keep our cool at night.
