for sleeping, you can also wrap a bottle in a old t-shirts/blankie/towel, it will both reduce the coldness of it (so you can use frozen one), and make it last longer and make it softer. when i've had longer bed i also could put it behind the pillow, and then rotate the pillow several times to have a cold side when i tried falling asleep *don't work so well when your head is on top of it though, so not useable with shorter beds, probably flat ice packs would kinda work, depending)
*as a note, the blankie will get wet from condensation, so do air it out in the day or it can get smelly/moldy over weeks
