Kool ’n’ Soothe gel sheets are gentle cooling pads designed to provide soothing relief from fever, headaches and heat-related discomfort, especially in children. Many parents use Kool ’n’ Soothe as part of their at-home care routine when little ones feel hot, restless or unwell, as the sheets offer non-medicinal cooling that can be used day or night.
What Is Kool ’n’ Soothe?
Kool ’n’ Soothe products are soft hydrogel sheets that adhere lightly to the skin and deliver a continuous cooling sensation for several hours. They are typically placed on the forehead or temples to help relieve fever, headaches or general heat discomfort. As a non-medicinal option, they can be used alongside products from our wider children’s fever and pain relief collection when appropriate.

Why Is Kool ’n’ Soothe Important?
Fever and headaches are common in childhood, particularly during infections such as colds and flu. Kool ’n’ Soothe helps to make children feel more comfortable by cooling the skin and easing heat-related distress. This can be especially valuable overnight when high temperatures can disturb sleep. Many families preparing for seasonal illness also consider complementary products from our children’s cough, cold and flu range.
How to Use Kool ’n’ Soothe
- Ensure the skin is clean, dry and free from any creams or oils.
- Remove the protective film from the gel sheet.
- Place the sheet gently on the forehead (or area indicated on the pack).
- Use one sheet at a time and replace when the cooling effect wears off.
- Do not apply to broken, irritated or sunburnt skin.
As part of a home monitoring routine, many parents also keep a reliable device from our thermometers collection to track their child’s temperature alongside comfort measures such as Kool ’n’ Soothe.

Statistics, Research, Expert Information and Quotes on Cooling Sheets
Hydrogel cooling sheets have been shown to effectively dissipate surface heat and provide a soothing sensation without causing thermal shock or skin damage when used correctly. While they do not replace antipyretic medications where medically required, studies suggest that cooling interventions can help improve comfort, reduce perceived heat and support better rest in children with fever or headaches. Parents frequently report that children settle more easily at night when gentle cooling is used alongside appropriate medical advice and treatment.
Children with fever may also lose fluids through sweating and reduced fluid intake; in these situations, products from our rehydration treatments collection can be considered to help maintain hydration, especially if advised by a healthcare professional.
“Kool ’n’ Soothe and similar cooling sheets can be a useful, non-medicinal way to relieve discomfort from fever or headaches. They are particularly helpful for young children who may struggle with feeling hot and restless, especially at night.”
