Does Anyone Use A Chillow?

[Tilly2]

or something similar on theses hot humid nights? I was considering buying a couple but the reviews on Amazon are very varied. Any recommendations?

No, I think it's faddy. I just turn the pillow over.

I filled my hot water bottle with cold water the other night and put it under the pillow!

[Tilly2]

I just turn the pillow, too boxy. The trouble is you have to keep turning it. I was hoping to find something a bit more long lasting.

Ivor, I agree that the Amazon reviews are not good.

I got one for my Mum about three years ago, she swears by it, especially in this weather, she says that it is the best thing she has been bought for a long time.

Perhaps I need to go and buy a hot/cold water bottle. Did it work well, Ann?

[sandyRoe]

No. But years ago I used to use a chillum.

Not so much medicinal as mellowing.

My ankles suffer more than my head - I need an Anklow....

Not too bad Tilly, it was a bit uncomfortable at first but finally stuck the neck of the bottle down between the headboard and mattress which was better. Nothing beats an electric fan going all night though, we have been using one for weeks and are used to the sound now.

LOL@ Boxy! :)

[Tilly2]

Thanks for the link, Yont, I can't wait!

Boxy there's no reason why you can't put your feet in your pillow. Just lie the other way round.

[tonyav]

It's alright for you, I have to work in it !.

[boxtops]

Nibble wouldn't like my feet in his face :-)

[Tilly2]

It must be terrible at work in this heat, Yont. I do feel for you and all the other millions of people who are working.

[Tilly2]

Nibble will have to lie upside down as well, boxy.

[tonyav]

Yeah, I'm feeling the sympathy !.
