Read the full Bear pillow review, here. Who Might Choose GhostPillowโฆ
- Sleepers who prefer the contouring feel of memory foam. The core of the GhostPillow is gel memory foam that upholds the classic โsinking inโ feel that is characteristic of memory foam. Itโs on the plusher side โ about a 5/10 on the firmness scale โ so sleepers can anticipate their heads to sink fairly far into the pillow.
- Those who find the scent of lavender soothing. The GhostPillow has an added scent of lavender is noticeable the minute the box is opened. GhostBed says it should dissipate over time; based on reviews I looked at, some customers find it relaxing, while others with a more sensitive sense of smell may find the feature more challenging to overcome.

Who Might Choose Bearโฆ
- People who prefer the bouncy resilience of latex. The core of the Bear pillow is a solid piece of Loft-X foam, which is essentially a proprietary combination of memory foam and latex foam. Based on my experience, it responds more like a latex pillow, with a springier (and lighter) overall feel and responds nearly automatically to any touch. However, it retains some density and weight as a memory foam pillow would.
- Shoppers who want size options. The GhostPillow comes in just a Queen size but the Bear pillow offers a Queen option and a King option respectively.

- People who tend to sleep hot. Hot sleepers can find foam pillows challenging because of their tendency to trape heat; however, both of these pillows are designed with cooling features. Both pillows have ventilated and/or aerated cores that promote airflow from within. In addition, the GhostPillow has proprietary Phase Change Material (PCM) an innovative cooling technology that will draw heat away from the head in an effort to regulate a personโs body temperature. The Bear pillow is made with Double Ice Fabric thatโs woven with a fabric marketed as โcool yarnโ โ it provides a cool-to-the-touch feel to the cover.
- Back and/or side sleepers. There are a couple of things that make these pillows better for side and back sleepers over stomach sleepers. First, they feature 5โณ and 5.5โณ height profiles, which tend to be too tall for stomach sleepers. Secondly, theyโre both filled with solid pieces of foam that wonโt change shape and wonโt fall flat (for a long time, at least). While the GhostPIllow may be plusher than the Bear pillow, both are better suited for back and side sleeping.
