It's kinda like a flat, pillowsized inflatable raft that contains foam and some kind of water. It really does help take the heat out of you. I slept on one last night and when I woke up this morning, I was laying on half and the cat was laying on the other half, so I may get her a chillow of her own.

Do they export? i could do with a van load.
 
And how was sleeping on a chillow?
It seems to be very comfortable, however I don't trust companies or stores that boast their products to be "best in the world". Therefore I would appreciate from some handful descriptions. :)

I really liked it. I put it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to get it extra cool. It felt so good because it was really hot and humid last night.

May be it is not as hot here as it is where you are, but us brits are not used to much over 70f and it is in the 90s :cry: at night i can go in one of the chiller rooms in the factory to cool down they are at a cool 6c, but then i go home and i have to suffer the massive temp difference.

I'm so conflicted. I want to ban you for being a spammer, but you work for Soothsoft, the Chillow makers. Chillows are very important to my quality of life.

I don't want to anger the Chillow makers. :frown:

A waterbed is even more forbidden by my lease than the air conditioner.

I agree. Or maybe they should let me live in the Chillow factory. That would be pretty good, too. :!)

I still have to share my Chillow with my cat. She hogs it. :cry: They should make giant ones that cover the whole bed.

Looks like a diaper (shouldn't it give same feeling?) .. but now I also want one hoping that it can take heat out of my head.

I have a friend (former client) who owns ice-plants in the deep south and after Katrina, he and his staff checked for damage at a plant only to find that some sea-lions had escaped from their enclosure at a nearby marine park and had taken up residence in the only cool place they could find. He let them stay there out of the heat and arranged to get them fed until they could be picked up and taken to a new home. His own beach-front home was demolished.
