Molded hybrid pillow

A method of manufacturing a hybrid pillow, the method comprising the steps of:

• dispensing a liquid gel in a mold;
• positioning a coil panel in the mold and on top of the liquid gel, the coil panel formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer, the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel;
• dispensing a foam precursor in the mold;
• and
• foaming the foam precursor to form a cushion material that is secured to the coil panel;
• wherein the liquid gel solidifies as a gel layer positioned on the coil panel.

A molded hybrid pillow, comprising:

• a cushion material defining a first recess and a second recess opposite the first recess;
• a first coil panel positioned within the first recess of the cushion material, the first coil panel formed of a first plurality of coil springs, a first upper fabric layer, and a first lower fabric layer, the first upper fabric layer and the first lower fabric layer joined between the first plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel;
• a first gel layer positioned within the recess of the cushion material and over the first coil panel;
• a second coil panel positioned within the second recess of the cushion material opposite from the first coil panel, the second coil panel formed of a second plurality of coil springs, a second upper fabric layer, and a second lower fabric layer, the second upper fabric layer and the second lower fabric layer joined between the second plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the second coil panel;
• and
• a second gel layer positioned within the second recess of the cushion material and over the second coil panel,
• wherein at least one of the first upper fabric layer and the first lower fabric layer prevents contact between the first gel layer and convolutions of the first plurality of coil springs.
