COOL INVENTION OF THE WEEK
Okay, I'm gonna be all over this one. I've been waiting for this invention my whole life: the "Chillow." I am a restless sleeper in part because I am always looking for the coolest side of the pillow... now here's a pillow that stays cool all the time!
It's called the Chillow. Chill + pillow = Chillow. It is a thin, flat foam pillow/insert that's made of super soft medical-grade materials that are hypoallergenic and nontoxic. You can rest your head right on top of the Chillow or put it in your pillow case on top of your favorite pillow...you first have to activate the Chillow by pouring two quarts of lukewarm water into its filling spout... slowly squeeze the excess air out of it... and that's it. Your Chillow never has to be activated again.
The Chillow uses no electricity, batteries, refrigeration or hocus pocus... It stays cool when you let air flow over it. If you want it even cooler for any reason, you can put the Chillow in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Next question: does it work. The answer is a resounding yes! First of all, I'm amazed that with all of the water you pour into it, that the outside always remains bone dry. When you put your head on the pillow you’re welcomed with a cool -- not cold -- pillow.
All this for only $29.99? Sign me up, man!
