Stop Flipping Your Pillow and Get the Chillow

Summer heat can make it hard to sleep, but look no further than Chillow to keep you cool this summer. Chillow, designed by SoothSoft, has been proven to help people fall asleep faster.

Chillow is a pillow made of non-toxic, latex-free gel that stays cooler longer than traditional pillows. It wipes clean and conforms to your head — much like a memory foam pillow. According to their website, Chillow users went to sleep 68 percent faster than normal pillow sleepers and achieved deep sleep for longer. The idea behind Chillow is that cooler temperatures slow down the metabolism and help the body relax, making it easier to drift into sleep.

Chillows start at $29.99 or come in a pack of two for $52.45. These pillows are a bit pricier than their traditional counterparts, but are not unreasonably high for what they promise. While the cold might be too intense for some, Chillow works well as an insert between normal pillows or as an aid to soothe leg cramps or relax migraines. Overall, Chillow is a good buy for people who tend to get hot at night, but not a good deal for those who prefer to pile on the blankets.
