Belly Sleep Gel Infused Memory Foam Pillow Review

The Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow guarantees a comfortable night’s rest, especially for those of us who prefer to sleep on – you guessed it – our stomachs.

But does it live up to that promise? Does it offer additional features? This pillow boasts of an easy-to-clean cover, a gel to enhance its cooling effect, and supportive foam that keeps your spine in alignment with fewer aches and pains.

But, unfortunately, not everyone has fallen in love with this pillow. Some users have found it uncomfortable, too flat, and lacking in information about how to contact the company online.

Nonetheless, before you make the ultimate decision on whether this is the pillow for you, let’s take a closer look at the Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow.

Material Composition

The Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow is rather straightforward in its composition; the name says it all!

The pillow is constructed entirely of supportive memory foam that is 2.5 inches thick and is infused with cooling gel to keep the memory foam from becoming too warm.

The removable cover of the pillow is made of 60% bamboo and 40% polyester. Both of these materials are machine washable with no special care-requirements. It also wicks moisture away from your body and is odor resistant.

Belly Sleep: The Brand

Belly Sleep is a company that was designed specifically to make pillows, as well as other bed-related products, that cater to people who sleep on their stomachs.

They state that stomach sleepers are usually left out of the conversation, as great pillows and mattresses look mainly to back-sleepers. Belly Sleep aims to fill that void.

As a new company, they have a limited online presence, with their Facebook page having only been created in November of 2017.

Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow Review

Stand Out Features

• A Stomach Sleeper’s Dream: Since this pillow is specifically designed for stomach sleepers, those who sleep on their stomach can count on getting a better night’s sleep with this pillow since it’s ergonomically designed to lessen the aches and pains stomach sleepers get during the night.
• Sleeps Cool: Warm sleepers rejoice! No longer will you have to flip your pillow over and over during the night trying to find the ‘cool’ side. The Belly Sleep Pillow is designed with a cooling gel to help regulate body temperatures.
• Washes Easily: The Belly Sleep pillow takes some of the pressure off cleaning by including a removable cover with their gel-infused, memory foam pillow. This means when it comes time for a cleaning, all you simply need to do is slip the cover off.

The Positives

Great for Stomach Sleepers

Is this an exceptionally obvious mark in the “pros” column? Yes. However, it’s very deserving, once you consider how few pillows exist which are specifically designed for this target audience.

Not only can stomach-sleepers rejoice at a custom-tailored option just for them, but any negative aspects to sleeping on your stomach are resolved.

The Belly Sleep pillow removes any pains you might normally feel and helps you breathe a little easier too.

No need to spend countless nights trying to change your sleep position to the “right” one. This pillow will support you just the way you are! (Aww.)

Versatile

While we rave about this pillow being great for stomach sleepers, there’s so much more to it.

Not only does the Belly Sleep pillow work for stomach-sleepers, but it also accommodates those of us who rest on our backs and sides.

So, if you adjust your position based on a whim, there won’t be a need to replace this pillow with a different variety.

It assists with neck and head rotation throughout the night, making any aches and pains you feel upon waking almost non-existent.

It will also improve how you breathe during resting hours, allowing you to enter your REM cycle more easily. There are not many pillows who can say that!

Hypoallergenic 

If you usually suffer from the sniffles whether from allergies, or a dusty bedroom, know that the Belly Sleep pillow won’t add to your frustration.

This pillow is hypoallergenic, so you don’t have to worry about allergies being activated with its use. A pillow is meant to make you feel comfortable, not sneezy or itchy.

Memory foam in itself usually contains both hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties, but with the addition of the bamboo cover, dust and allergens are easily combated.

Supportive

Memory foam tends to sag, creating neck pains during the night. However, with 2.5 inches of foam, this pillow is designed to cushion your head without giving up its plush feel after multiple nights.

Several of our testers noted it was highly supportive, improving their sleep cycle on a long-term basis.

The memory foam will conform to your shape and even reduce snoring, as it will ensure your head does not tilt too far back or forward over time. There are surely a few partners who will be glad for this!

Finally, the pillow supports your spine during the night, reducing pressure points and alleviating the soreness that comes with a poor alignment.

Even if your mattress isn’t that great, you will have a better night’s rest with this pillow, without feeling terrible come morning.

Cooling

Memory foam pillows are known to become extremely hot as they absorb your body heat. On average, they are dense so as to provide support, but this also encourages them to retain heat like an oven.

Luckily, that is not the case with the Belly Sleep. This pillow is infused with a temperature regulating cooling gel.

This will ensure both the pillow and yourself remain cool all through the night, no matter if it’s the middle of summer or the dead of winter. The pillow will stay just the right temperature for you to have a great night’s rest.

Washable

We all eat in bed once in a while, right? Admit it! However, getting those stains out of the bed sheets and pillowcases can be a hassle.

Luckily, the cover on the Belly Sleep pillow is removable and washable. So, whether you’re facing chocolate stains or a flu-season accident, if the pillow needs cleaning, it’s as simple as a round in the washing machine, air drying, and being placed back on the pillow.

The cover also wicks away moisture (i.e. sweat) from your skin and is very odor resistant. Nobody wants to sleep on a smelly, sweaty pillow!

Affordable

Specialty pillows can cost you a pretty penny. They can also easily add up in prices if you need a couple or a set for your bed.

What’s great about the Belly Sleep Pillow is that it’s actually quite affordable. Advertised at around the $50 mark, this pillow won’t put a hole in your wallet.

This is great for those on a budget who don’t want to spend an exorbitant amount of money on their pillow but still get a quality product that assists in getting a great night’s sleep.

The pillow’s bamboo cover adds to the durability of this pillow, keeping it fresh by wicking away moisture and sweat, so you can expect a long-lasting pillow for the price. 

You’ll also be given a 30-day warranty to protect against any damages from manufacturing that you may find in your pillow. If you do, you’ll need to contact Belly Sleep where they’ll replace your pillow at no extra cost, making it all the easier to foot the bill.

The Negatives

Too Thin

A few testers noted the pillow was too thin for them. Pillows are like mattresses, they don’t usually work for everyone, and that seems to be the case with the Belly Sleep.

While a number of users felt the pillow was ideal for them, there were others who felt it lacked in density and support.

The total price is pretty affordable for this buy; however, it’s still an investment you want to be proud of.

It’s wise to gauge how thick your current pillow is, how well it works for you, and then evaluate if the Belly Sleep’s measurements will suit your needs.

Sparse Information

An online presence is everything, right? However, there is not much information to be found about the company across the web.

Their website is pretty sparse and their Amazon page is known to crash at times, meaning that you could experience difficulty learning more about their policies or warranty limitations.

This may not be a deal breaker, but if anything does go wrong with your pillow, you could feel as if you’re on your own.

Overall Verdict

After going over all the positives and negatives, we are recommending the Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow. Besides filling a void in the pillow marketplace, it seems to do exactly what it promises.

The pillow remains cool in all conditions, is supportive for many different sleeping positions (not just stomach-sleepers), is washable, and helps with a number of other issues you might experience while asleep.

It may not be for everyone, and there is not much information to be found in regard to the brand, but most people who have tried it came away satisfied. There aren’t many products that can say that!

Where to Buy the Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow

As we mentioned, there’s not much of a brand presence available for the Belly Sleep company. So, despite the fact that their Belly Sleep Gel-Infused Memory Foam Pillow has gained the attention of many sleepers (stomach sleeper or not), you’ll have some trouble finding this pillow through usual retailers.

While it’s always best to check home department, bedding, and specialty stores, the Belly Sleep pillow doesn’t seem to be available in-store, but it is available online.

With online brands taking over the market, Belly Sleep follows suit, but we hope to see more products and availability in the future.

That being said, you can kick-start your search by checking out their website.
