Press release - Chillow brings relief for menopause

Thousands of menopausal women will find the usual flushes and night sweats so unbearable that a good night’s sleep will be almost impossible.

However help is on hand in the form of the Chillow® - a new personal cooling pad.

The Chillow is a thin, cushioned pad (made from medical-grade, hypoallergenic, non-toxic materials) that lies on top of a normal pillow (or inside the pillowcase) to take heat away from the body and keep the user cool throughout the night.

Like many great inventions, the Chillow is remarkably simple. It works on the principle that water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air - which is why people feel cold when they come out of a swimming pool.

The patented internal core contains ordinary, natural tap water which, unlike pillows and duvets that trap body heat, absorbs heat from the body then dissipates it into the air in the same way that a car radiator keeps an engine cool.

Menopausal flushes don’t just disturb the sufferers’ sleep, tossing and turning, throwing off the duvet and opening the window can also disturb partners.  What people like about the Chillow is that it keeps the user cool without affecting a partner so both enjoy a good night’s sleep.
 
As well as helping to relief flushes and induce sleep, the Chillow also provides soothing relief from fever, aches and pains, injury and irritating skin conditions such as sunburn and acne, making it an essential household device for everyone, young and old, all year long. 

And the Chillow works without power, chemicals or refrigeration. It remains permanently at room temperature (usually 10 to 20°C below body temperature) and unlike gel-pads, which have to be pre-frozen, it is always ready for use and is soft not hard, dry not wet, cool not cold.
