Basically the water absorbs the temperature around it, so when you first lay down it is at room temperature which feels very cool compared to your body temperature. I loved the heck out of it, but some nights by the morning the water had soaked up so much of my body heat that it was as warm as I was.

It did spring a leak or two, and that is the only real reason I stopped using it. Now that it's summer, maybe I'll bust out some duct tape and see if I can fix it ;)]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/
Refridgerating it works well. I gave it a try one night, but it was too dang cold and gave me a massive headache.

Back to the fan.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/
I went to their site and tried to buy one, but they're only available for "hot headed americans" (not for sale any more outside the States!)

Thank God for air-conditioning!

Tha backache was odd, lots of pain in the upper back that the ole internet search said was caused by poor posture. My guess is that the chillow made my soft pillow quite hard and changed my sleeping posture. This resulted in some pretty serious pain.

Been off it 2 weeks or so and I'm OK now.

Worked great, no sweaty neckband post sleep, except for the back pain.....]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/23/chillow-the-pillow-that-keeps-your-head-cool/Dec 19th 2005 2:26AM
