Nothing is worse than trying to fall asleep in a pool of one's own sweat. Along with being uncomfortable, high temperatures can create body pain or headaches come the morning. This [gel mat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cova-ai-smart-cooling-mat) can be laid across your pillow to help a sleeper comfortably unwind. The mat fits the width of a standard pillow and is comprised of a gel that "utilizes macro-molecule cooling." Users are simply directed to place the mat in the fridge about an hour before bedtime so the product can reach an optimal cooling temperature. The Penguin Cooling Mat is ideal for anyone suffering from the adverse effects of warmer seasons, especially those without access to central air conditioning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personal Cooling Devices:** The trend of personal cooling devices provides an opportunity for innovative companies to develop products that can be customized to individual preferences. - **Smart Temperature-control Products:** The smart temperature-control trend offers an opportunity for businesses to create more advanced cooling products that can be remotely controlled and programmed based on user behavior. - **Eco-friendly Cooling Solutions:** The eco-friendly trend presents an opportunity for companies to develop cooling products that are energy-efficient and use sustainable materials without compromising performance. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Goods:** Home goods companies have an opportunity to create innovative temperature-control products that improve comfort and sleep quality during the summer months. - **Travel Gear:** The travel gear industry can capitalize on the personal cooling trend by producing lightweight and portable cooling devices for on-the-go use. - **Sustainable Design:** Sustainable design companies can develop eco-friendly cooling solutions by using natural and biodegradable materials, reducing energy consumption, and improving product durability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thermo-Regulating Cooling Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-pillow1.md) - [Supportive Cooling Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casper-hybrid-pillow.md) - [Smart Cooling Pillow Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-pillow-cover.md) - [Temperature-Regulating Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/375-pillow.md) - [Advanced Brain-Cooling Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-sleep-pillow.md) - [Copper-Infused Cooling Gel Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copper-cooling-gel-pillow.md) - [Nighttime Cooling Sprays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-cooling-spray.md) - [Cooling Memory Foam Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-memory-foam-pillow.md) - [Cooling Yarn Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooling-gel-pillow.md)
