Chillow – a Review
Sometimes it’s so hot and sticky at night (well OK, not that often in the UK) that you can feel a migraine threatening because of the heat. Here’s my secret weapon.
This is a ‘device’ I use myself and can personally endorse both the product and the customer service from the company.
My migraines are largely under control now, but when I get the occasional one I have a secret weapon that makes it easier to keep a cool head at night. The Chillow® is a “personal cooling solution” that doesn’t use electricity or refrigeration and it’s brilliant – for times when I have a migraine, or any other time when it’s too hot to sleep comfortably. For example: hot flushes, night sweats, eczema, fevers, headaches, sunburn, muscle/joint pain, sporting injuries and many other conditions.
The Chillow is a unique pad, only two centimetres thick, and needs activating just once by filling it with tap water, which is then fully absorbed into the patented foam core. Once activated it will keep on working, so it’s always ready for use when needed. Unlike gel and ice packs, Chillow does not need refrigeration and is always cool not cold, dry not wet, soft not hard.
The science behind the technology is simple, functional, versatile, enjoyable, unique, maintenance free. It depends on combining specialist materials, fluids and the laws of thermodynamics to create a dry, powerless, thermo-regulating and memory foam effect.
This combination of the right materials and an ingenious design means the Chillow stays at room temperature, which is always cooler than your body. It absorbs heat from your body and releases it into the air around you, whilst remaining pleasantly cool against the skin. So it provides comfort without power, pollution, moisture or maintenance.
Being cold OR hot is uncomfortable so an attractive feature of the Chillow is that while it keeps the user cool, it never makes them cold because it acts as a heat sink and radiator all in one.
Chillow absorbs heat, and then radiates it away from the user continuously, much like a radiator in a car, which works to keep a car’s engine cool by using water to help dissipate heat to the air. Hot fluid enters the radiator, loses its heat and the cooled water travels back through the system to begin the process again.
Likewise, the Chillow continually absorbs body heat and discharges the absorbed heat back to the surrounding environment. It consistently feels cool as the consumer is always warmer than the product. Unlike most other cooling products this technology is refreshing – not overly cold, wet or uncomfortable.
Before I’m happy to recommend a product I look for features such as quality, design, reliability, and durability. All of which Chillow offers. Another important point in their sale message is that there are no hidden or additional costs. After you have purchased your Chillow – you don’t need anything but tap water for it to work.
To keep it ready for use, without having to guess when your next migraine – or unpredictable summer heat-wave – will strike, just leave it in a cool place. Chillow is always ready to consistently deliver cooling, soothing comfort when you need it.
I’m delighted with my purchase and whole-heartedly recommend it to you.
