Pillow - Heat reduction

  I'm interested, but I don't understand how these can work. Why isn't the gel going to heat up?

  If there really was a substance available that removed heat without using power, how come we still have refrigerators and cooling systems?

  I beleive the gel works but it's probably marginal heat reduction at best.

  I actually have the dunlopillo gel mattress protector heater reducer & notice no difference… But I get very hot at night and so willing to try anything & this seems a decent pillow too.

  The best thing we found for overheating was a water bed. A big heat sink that you set the temperature on. The problem is they come with their own issues. Which is why ours is now in the storage area.

  OP get an Japanese tatami mattress. Uncomfortable - Yes but you will benefit long term. Forget pillows - they are anyways not good for you. Personally, I love my memory foam mattress and pillow.

  You can get a "tatami" like pillow cover. I've seen them in a few of the larger asian stores (though it might come in a set with a mattress topper). From memory, i think the top half is like a tatami (Bamboo) and the bottom is cotton or polyester. Just pop it under your standard pillow case.

  I used to use a product called Chillow, it was pretty cheap from memory… But that's going back 10 years or so.

  Worked well and used it for many years, but eventually found I no longer needed it and stopped.
