 Chillow pillow Aug 15, 2010
By Kodiak
This pillow works! It keeps you so cool with no hassle of filling a water bottle.

 Nice, but was expecting better. Aug 22, 2011
By Bee Thao
Never heard of the product until running across an article on lifehacker.com on how to sleep during the heat. The chillow was the first on the beat the heat list. Looking for a way to sleep in the hot and dry weather of Colorado I was willing to give it, scratch that, give anything a try. I've had the mini chillow a little over a week and here are my thoughts on the product.
Positive:
1. The quality and construction is really good. It looks like it will hold up for many years.
2. Small enough to put in my sobakawa pillow and under laptops.
3. Once chilled in the fridge(DO NOT PUT IN FREEZER, YOU VOID THE WARRANTY AND DAMAGE THE PRODUCT) it really is nice and cool to the touch.
Negatives:
1. Took a lot longer than expected to fill up the chillow with water ie. at least 10 minutes. Take your time as you will overflow the pillow as you approach the 5th - 6th cup of water.
2. The medicinal smell of the pillow was strong at first but has now subsided drastically but still lingers.
3. When you let the air out of the mini, there's good chance you will spill. I had to do it several times on different days to let out most of the trapped air.
4. The mini's chill is only short-term. I'm putting it around 30 minutes to an hour tops.
5. If you want your mini feeling chilly, IT IS MANDATORY, to put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to maximize the product.
6. You have to keep the mini in a cool place with limited sun exposure and heat to maximize it's use in and out of the fridge.
7. It's just not cool to the touch without any fridge time.
The mini overall is okay. The reviews I have read for both the larger and mini are a bit too overly optimistic. I still like the product and will continue to use it. Just like it said on the mini paper instructions. Some people will feel differently with the product than others on terms of coolness. I am one of those users that must have their mini cooled in the fridge to feel any coolness at all. It doesn't not feel cool or chill without putting it into the fridge, it just doesn't. There have been a few nights where I have awoken just hours after sleeping and the mini was more pillow than chillow. So make sure to fall fast asleep asap and if you can't get some ear plugs and eye covers.

 Disappointment Aug 08, 2011
By Kutya
The pillow feels cool to the touch, but absorbs body heat quickly. So it has only a very short-term benefit.

I love it! Jun 02, 2010
By Me
I love this, I am one of those people who would flip their pillow over all night so that I could sleep on the cool side of the pillow. The chillow keeps that cool side of the pillow feeling which is great on humid nights!

Not as Chilly-o as I thought it would be Mar 09, 2009
By Alison Young
"thrifty shopper"
I bought this to put on my lap when I use my laptop. It's great at first but then it gets pretty warm.
It was also kinda hard to activate it. You have to fill it up with water and then squeeze out the air and I did everything the instructions said but the water kept spilling out. So I'm not sure if it should be cooling better than it does and I just didn't set it up right.
On the plus side I've used it on my head when I had a headache and that was nice and cool. I think maybe the heat of my computer is too much for it to handle.
