Actually, it was the hope of getting sleeping comfort. One has also to try for something with the capacity. BUT: I have had both cushions in succession in use. At first I thought that only it was a maybe a bit leaky. Both pillows showed after some time foxing and then correct mold on the underside. Apparently the pillow between the mattress and the cold water is sweating so much and the ventilation is not working properly under its own weight. Even regular time at the day (bottom side up) did not yield any solution. All in all, unfortunately recommend schelchte implementation of a good idea and NOT.
