A joint winner in the Good Housekeeping Institute best pillows roundup, REM-Fit's Cool Gel Pillow is brimming with impressive features. It’s made from adaptive memory foam to support the neck and spine – whatever your preferred sleeping position – along with a cooling gel insert and Re-Ax fibres in the cover to wick away moisture and regulate your body temperature.
Testers confirmed it moulded to their heads quickly and effectively, providing plenty of support and preventing aches and pains. They also said it was “soft and luxurious” to sleep on, and the outer cover washed extremely well, with no noticeable changes in quality.
Though not everyone noticed its cooling capabilities, it scored well for breathability, and everyone said they would buy it again and recommend it to others. What more could you want?

This mattress protector, which is made from 100% Tencel fibres, only dropped a few points in our tests. Tencel is known for its moisture-wicking and hypoallergenic capabilities and feels incredibly smooth to touch. The protector also boasts a ‘miracle membrane’, which blocks common allergens for a more comfortable night's sleep.
Our testers were impressed with its performance – it kept them nice and cool overnight (no night sweats reported) and it added an extra layer of comfort, too. It fitted their mattress like a glove and maintained its quality after several goes in the washing machine. There was a tiny bit of rustling, but nothing too distracting.
Score: 89/100
At under £500, this hybrid mattress offers excellent value for money. And it doesn’t skimp on quality, with 1,000 pocket springs surrounded by breathable open cell foam. It was even crowed a winner in our annual Sleep Awards.
The mattress proved popular with the front, side and back sleepers on our panel, who raved about the comfort and support it offered. “It’s the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on,” said one tester, noting the snug finish and even weight distribution.
It absorbed movement effectively – handy if you sleep next to a fidgety partner – and it regulated their temperature, too. There’s no unpleasant ‘new mattress’ smell and, best of all, everyone said they slept well during the trial period.
Score: 87/100
The brand’s 600 Lux Hybrid mattress, which features 4,000 pocket springs and a zoned open-cell memory foam layer to provide full-body support, was a big hit with our testing panel. Everyone said they would continue using the medium-firm design following the trial period, and they’d happily recommend it to family and friends.
It features an edge-to-edge design, so you don't have to worry about rolling off the end, and great motion isolation, limiting movement so you won’t get disturbed if your partner is tossing and turning. “When you turn over, the mattress doesn’t bounce at all,” commented one panellist.
Testers were also extremely impressed with its temperature-regulating capabilities, saying it kept them cool and comfortable as they snoozed, with no overheating reported.
Score: 82/100
This 4cm mattress topper is made from breathable memory foam with an Re-Ax fibre cover and a mesh border to encourage airflow and ensure you stay cool overnight. It has elastic straps and a non-slip base to prevent it from moving it around, plus a removable, machine-washable cover that’s easy to keep in tip-top condition.
Our testing panel praised the durable design, saying it was quiet and very comfortable to lie on. The fabric was smooth and soft to the touch, with no scratchy stitching or seams. One tester even said it was like having a “a high-quality mattress on its own”.
Score: 82/100
If you’re in the market for a firm hybrid mattress, this one is seriously worth considering, as it has a 9/10 firmness rating from the brand. Alongside 2,000 pocket springs, there’s a layer of open-cell memory foam and edge-to-edge side support.
Testers liked the supportive design, saying that it even helped eased aches and pains. Despite the firmness, all found it comfortable and breathable to sleep on. One tester even said: “I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud.”
It fitted their beds well, and it was easy to get into place, plus the cover is machine washable, so you can keep it in top condition for many nights to come. If you prefer not to sink into your mattresses, then it’s a reliable pick.
Editor's pick
Looking for a supportive pillow to accompany your new mattress? This pocket sprung design contains 60 individually wrapped pocket springs with a soft fibre filling and a breathable mesh border. It provides a stable yet flexible foundation to support your head, neck and shoulders, making it ideal for side and back sleepers.
The plush white fibres offer gentle cushioning to keep you comfortable while the cover features breathable Re-Ax fabric to prevent night sweats. It's also machine washable for ultimate ease of use.

REM-Fit is on a mission to “make sure people sleep well and recovery fully”. Its products combine innovative fabrics and patented tech to bring you next-level comfort, support and temperature regulation.
Its award-winning hybrid mattresses feature full-height pocket springs for superior full-body support and deep layers of open-cell visco memory foam, with a structure that promotes air flow and helps keep you cool. The open-cell structure also allows the foam to contour to your body’s natural shape and distribute pressure evenly. There are also reinforced side support walls for ultimate durability and stability overnight.
Some of the brand's products, such as the 500 Cool Gel Pillow, feature advanced Re-Ax fibres, designed to be highly breathable and moisture-wicking. The pillow also includes gel-infused memory foam to draw heat away from the skin and provide a refreshing sleep surface, along with adaptive support to ensure correct spinal alignment and minimise pressure.
