Helix's GlacioTex pillow targets the most common memory-foam complaint head-on: it wraps gel-infused memory foam in a phase-change-style GlacioTex cover engineered to feel cool to the touch, and sells it in high- and low-loft versions.
Helix's whole bedding line is built around matching products to sleep style, and the two-loft approach follows that logic.

A cooling-focused memory foam pillow with two loft options; strong for hot sleepers who still want foam contouring.

What GlacioTex does
GlacioTex is a high-conductivity cover fabric that pulls heat away from skin on contact, paired here with gel-infused foam. Expect a noticeably cool first touch that gradually normalizes — the universal behavior of cool-touch textiles. Mr. Squish has not instrumented overnight testing.
High vs low loft
High loft targets side sleepers; low loft targets back sleepers. Gel memory foam compresses moderately, so the stated loft is a reasonable guide to sleeping height.
Where it sits in the market
It competes with the TEMPUR-Breeze Pro and Coop Cool+ — cooling construction plus contouring foam — at a lower list price than Tempur-Pedic and without Coop's adjustability.
