The short answer
The SUPA MODERN scores 7.9, the top score among the 53 pillows we rank, and the QUTOOL 7.3. Buyer satisfaction, fit range and value are almost level, so the gap comes from complaint profile (6.4 against 5.7), materials and proof (8 against 6) and care (10 against 8). QUTOOL stays close behind at the same $19, and it is the one of the two that publishes any return window.

Fill and feel
The same blend under two cooling covers
Both listings give the fill as 85% cross-cut memory foam and 15% microfiber, and both makers call the feel medium. Each pillow has a two-sided cover with one cooling face, and each maker claims that face lowers surface temperature by about 4 to 9°F. QUTOOL lists its cooling side as 50% silky ice fabric and 50% polyester, with 60% polyester and 40% bamboo viscose on the other side.
Both brands give Shijiazhuang, China, as their base. What a cooling cover can and cannot change is covered in the cooling materials guide.
Size and loft
Adjustable fill in slightly different sizes
You can unzip either pillow and add or remove fill. QUTOOL's listing gives 29 by 19 inches and 6 inches thick, and SUPA MODERN's gives 30 by 20 inches and 7 inches. Both sell Standard, Queen and King, and SUPA MODERN adds a Firm Queen and a crescent shape. Each scores 9 for fit range.
Care, price and policies
Washing, price and the paperwork behind each
QUTOOL says to wash the cover cold, skip heat in the dryer and never wash the foam. SUPA MODERN's listing says machine wash but also that the inner gel foam is not washable, so check the label before the whole pillow goes in.
A Queen two-pack costs $37.99 from either brand, $19 a pillow. CertiPUR-US lists QUTOOL itself, and its OEKO-TEX certificate is valid but held by its manufacturer. SUPA MODERN has a valid OEKO-TEX certificate held by a separate factory and no CertiPUR-US listing. QUTOOL's homepage promises 90 nights while its shipping page says 30-day returns, and SUPA MODERN publishes neither a trial nor a warranty.
