Chillow Pillow (do you flip your pillow to keep your head cool)

Post by cuebreeze »

Hey everyone. All my life ive had a hot head when i sleep and have allways flipped my pillow over to get the cold side of the pillow to relax a little. Anyway i found a product called the chillow pillow that is meant to stay below room temperature (keeping your head cool) on hot nights. Heres a link to the product..

I havent used the product yet but i will be getting one reguardless of wether it mite or mite not help hairloss. (im buying it for better sleep).

But it made me wonder wether it mite have some benefits towards my hairloss.

My head has allways gotten hot during sleep (hence flipping the pillow constantly).

Opinions?

i live in hot queensland, and im getting one!

ive been wanting to invent something like that for yrs, but im glad someone else did it, ive often thought another possible reason for the location of the mpb shape, and yes i know (and like) the other theories about tension, and those muscles, and all the rest, but the fact is strees causes hairloss, and stress causes bad sleep, and hot places always have lots of ppl with mpb, and ppl in hot places get bad sleep, and if u sleep on ur side, then the temples r being rubbed against the pillow, and on ur back, the crown is getting rubbed.

maybe its nothing, but it may be another contributing factor.

Im the same man. Been waiting for something like this for a looong time. Nice theory about how when you sleep your head is resting on the non mpb areas. Maybe diffuse thinners generally sleep only on there back with there head straight?!!!! All theorys aside, i think this pillow is gonna bring some cool nights 8)

I don't know if you watch "Family Guy" in that part of the world, but when Peter flips over the pillow and it's BILLY DEE WILLIAMS saying "Hellooooo, Peter... Welcome to the cool side of the pillow", that's priceless!

I got a Chillow Pillow for Christmas about 4 years ago after my girl friend saw it on Oprah. I could not stand the thing. The coolness of the pillow felt great but it only stayed cool for 30-45 minutes. The pillow itself was very hard, did not bend or contour to your head while sleeping on it and just felt uncomfortable. Oh and it sprung a leak after about 3-weeks of use. I couldn't get a decent night's sleep while using it. Sorry to write such a poor review but it is what I experienced while using this product.

god-damn it, it looked so good too.

oh well, maybe those problems have been fixed, youd think they would have changed it sometime over 4 yrs.
