"Chillow" pillow

the_devil_made_me_do_it

Just wondering if the Chillow pillow is any good before I invest. And if anyone knows where I can get them at a resonable to cheap price.

Thanks in advance.

We bought one from Amazon, and I'm not sure how good it is because it's for DH. He's still overheating and not sleeping well but I don't know how bad he'd be without it, do I?

Have a look on ebay, they're often around £24.95 free delivery on there.

Haven't seen them any cheaper anyway.

I got a pair as my OH suffers with eczema (particularly bad at night) and it has helped him. I'm saving the other one for when it gets really muggy :eek: or I start having power surges!!!!

I saw them being sold on QVC about a week ago. Think they were selling for about £20 or so. Why not check out their website?
I would love to know if they are any good too!

Out of interest, how does your DH use his? Only mine has put it in with his pillow case, and it gets all scrunched up ...

I purchased a couple of chillows online and had to return them. You insert them with your usual pillow inside your pillowcase. Trouble is they ended up very crumpled and in a lump, making it very uncomfortable ans sleep pracitically impossible.
Apparently the maunfacturers know this is a problem, when we contacted them about it.
I am now trying an Organic Millet Husk Pillow which I purchased from http://www.naturalcollection.com/natural-products/Organic-Millet-Pillow.aspx

I'm finidng it quite comfortable and it doesn't make a noise like some. Early days though!

Is it keeping you cool tho'?? I'm sick of constantly waking up and turning my pillow to the cooler side.

No, not really. I bought it because I'm a chronic migraine sufferer and I spend a lot of time in bed unfortuantly. I'm fast approaching that age though, when I'm going to need a pillow to keep me cool!!

Yes he has had a bit of a problem with it scrunching up, but it's fairly easy to flatten out again we found.
Sometimes he just has his ankles and feet on it, as they are one of his more troublesome areas.

I've yet to try sleeping on it......

I suffer with chronic headaches too, and unfortunatly can find myself in bed for longer than I'd like. May try one

I did suggest taking it out from the pillow case and putting it in different places, but he thought it would flop around too much. He'd need to have it in its own pillowcase though, because otherwise it would become gross VERY quickly! :eek:
