What it is like to use
Weight rule: roughly 10% of body weight. Heavier is not better and makes it harder to turn over. Glass-bead fill runs cooler and quieter than plastic pellets, which is worth the difference if you overheat.
How to choose
All three weigh fifteen pounds, so choose on heat and on bed size. The glass bead one runs coolest and is sized for a single sleeper. The minky is the warmest and the one to skip if you overheat. The cooling cover queen sits between them and fits a shared bed.
Where to get one
- 15 lb, 60 by 80 in, cooling cover on Amazon
- 15 lb, 48 by 72 in, glass bead fill on Amazon
Glass bead fill, which runs cooler and quieter than plastic pellets. Sized for a person around 140 lb.
- 15 lb, 60 by 80 in, minky cover on Amazon
The minky surface is soft but warm, so it pairs badly with overheating.
