What does the pillow do with the moisture after wicking it away? Is there something like the saliva trap on a brass instrument?

i assume it turns into a water pillow, filled with my warm drool.

I got one of these “sponge” pillows, it’s multi-layered so you can adjust for your specific vertebrae, and I do find it nice, comfort-wise. And it stays cooler than other more traditional pillows.
But re:questions about where the moisture goes…it evaporates, leaving you with a concentrated version of your night smells. Like a potpourri of drool and head sweat. Not awesome. I have only had mine a few months, and haven’t figured out how to wash it yet, but it needs a good airing out. I never realized how forgiving the old down pillows were!

Buckwheat hulls, sobakawa, which the Japanese have used for centuries as pillow stuffing also allow for cool sleeping and good support. That’s what I use.
