Amazon’s £16 cooling pillowcases hailed as “summer nights lifesaver” by shoppers

June 21, 2025

For those battling to catch some ZZZs during scorching heatwave nights, the Homfine cooling pillowcases might just be the bedtime blessing you’ve been searching for. Priced at a reasonable £16.98 for two on Amazon, these pillowcases are fast becoming a must-have with an ever-growing fanbase.

Crafted from Japanese Arc-Chill fabric, these nifty pillowcases are engineered to wick away warmth from your skin far more efficiently than traditional cotton or certain synthetic alternatives. What you get is material that remains refreshingly cool throughout the night, without requiring any extras like refrigeration or electric power – all thanks to innovative textile technology.

Not only are they marvelously efficient, but these pillowcases boast a luxuriously silky touch that pampers both skin and hair, making them a dream for those with sensitive skin. The fabric’s breathable properties ensure that you’re not stewing in unwanted heat and moisture, while the subtle zip design guarantees they stay put neatly on your pillows. Plus, with no fuss required for cleaning, they’re conveniently machine-washable.

With a selection of hues available and typically priced at £20.99, these cooling wonders are currently up for grabs for less than £17 as part of the pre-Amazon Prime Day deals ending on July 8th, reports the Mirror.

Delighted customers don’t hesitate to deem these pillowcases as their “lifesaver for summer nights”, praising their ability to “stay chilly to the touch” even in the height of sweltering evenings….

One satisfied customer wrote: “I was very sceptical about a pillowcase that stays cold but these actually do just that! , I am a very hot sleeper and these have helped so much, I have occasionally had to turn the pillow over but the other side is just as cold, they have a zip closing, the only thing I will say is they come up quite big in size you could get more than one pillow inside, obviously depending on the size of the pillows, they are lovely and soft to lay in and come in a choice of colours.”

Another gave an in-depth review, stating: “I wasn’t too sure what to expect from these cooling pillowcases, but I absolutely love turning the pillow over to the cool side, so I was excited to try something that may keep the pillows always cool! First off, the material is much thinner than I had expected, it looks and feels a lot like workout clothing material that you would use for workout vests. Very flowy and slippery to the touch, and obviously very cool to the touch too. It feels like a durable material, though; it isn’t thin in a negative way.

“The pillowcase is well constructed and was more than big enough to fit on my average-sized pillows. The material does stay nice and cool through the night, and is even better if, like me, you sleep with a fan on in the room. I am very impressed with the pillowcases, and they will be a lifesaver during the hot summer nights.”

One impressed user commented on the chill factor: “It is surprisingly chilly to the touch. After a little while of staying in the same position, it will lose that cool feeling, but it cools back down very quickly if you shift a bit. Even when it’s no longer cool, at the very least it stays neutral, rather than making me warmer. It’s also very soft to the touch and generally pleasant to cuddle with.”

Not everyone’s bowled over though, as one reviewer yearns for something better than the Amazon pillowcases: “I have used a gel insert for years, but I’m trying to find an alternative because they always move around. This looked like a promising option, but unfortunately, they just aren’t anywhere near as good,” they express.

While these Amazon pillowcases may not perform like magic, more than 100 customers believe they’re still a hit and worth giving a go.
