"  There have been a lot of developments in stay-cool bedding lately. In fact, you may have noticed last week&amp;#039;s The New York Times article about this trend. Well, at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI), we&amp;#039;ve also kept our eye on the newest technology in bedding and in the October issue, which just hit the newsstand, you&amp;#039;ll find the results of our investigation of pillows and mattress toppers made of gel-infused memory foam. While memory foam has become a very popular component in mattresses, pillows, and other bedding products because it molds easily to the body, one of the biggest complaints about it, is that it can make people feel hot and as a result lead to an uncomfortable night&amp;#039;s sleep. The newest development: Some manufacturers have infused a temperature-regulating gel into the memory foam so you get both the softness of the memory foam and the coolness of the gel. As we&amp;#039;ve watched the proliferation of these new products, GHRI wondered if they&amp;#039;re safe and decided to test the flammability of these products. We tested two mattress toppers using CFR 1632, a federal mattress and mattress pad standard and three pillows in accordance with CA 117, a foam standard required by Cailifornia and used in the industry as a guideline. Our findings: The mattress toppers passed the flammability test. However, all three pillows, Serta Gel Memory Foam Bed Pillow ($80), Sleep Innovations Gel Memory Foam Classic Pillow ($35), and Serta iComfort Contour Pillow ($99) failed the &amp;quot;afterflame&amp;quot; test, which measures how long a product continues to burn after being exposed to a direct flame. The bottom line: If you have purchased these pillows, we advise that you stop using them. Check out our October investigation and other investigations conducted by GHRI.  To see firsthand how we test sheets, pillows and other products, sign up for a tour of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
