Customer Reviews

A great night's sleep
This is the second Chillow I'm ordering. My first one did develop a leak only because I've used it every night for a year and a half. I am addicted to this device. It's real cool when you first lay your head down, but then throughout the night it never goes above your body temperature so you do sleep really sound. Since I've been without mine, I've been waking up and flipping the pillow again. It does take a little getting used to but once you do, oh boy.

Kind of disappointing
I have to admit that it's easier to use than I was led to believe. And at first it really does seem to keep cool in spite of proximity to your body. But after a few hours of sleeping on it, I found that I woke up with my face and hair damp with sweat.

Perhaps this was because the night was so humid, I don't know. All I know is that several times during the night, I was forced to pull the Chillow out of my pillowcase and move it away from my body. After a few minutes, I could put my head back down on it and it would be cool again. I will continue to work with it, but my first response to it was not as favorable as I would have hoped.

How did I live without this?
I ADORE the Chillow. I'm pregnant and constantly hot at night... I got this in my 8th month but I wish I'd gotten it sooner! To the reviewer who put it in the freezer, the directions very clearly say NOT to do this, as it damages the integrity of the product. Now, there are a few drawbacks to the Chillow that are worth mentioning:

1) The exact spot you're sleeping on "loses its cool" after about an hour, but that gives you plenty of time to fall asleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night, just move your head over a few inches into a cool spot, no problem. By morning the whole thing is room temperature, but that doesn't really matter -- it's cold again at night when you need it to be.

2) I use mine inside the pillowcase and the thing weighs a TON! Normally I flip my pillow around a lot at night and this would be almost impossible with the Chillow inside, but since the Chillow makes the pillow so nice and comfy and cool, I don't need to flip my pillow any more. Moot point.

3) I found the "set up" of the Chillow a bit of a drag. I thought I would open the box, put it in my pillowcase and be ready to go, but the process of filling it and getting the air out to create a vacuum is a bit laborious. The directions also say you may have to do it every few weeks. It's still a small price to pay in my opinion.

Having said all that, I would still buy this product again in an instant. (And it may become my new gift to all pregnant women!) In fact, even if it broke tomorrow I'd still buy another one. My nights have become SO much more restful, and that's priceless!
