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!More detail ...
