‘Without these JML Chillmax pillows, I don’t think I’d get any sleep at all when the weather is warm,’ one reviewer wrote. ‘I have used these for years, and they make all the difference.’
‘Wow! What a brilliant invention this Chillmax pillow/cushion is,’ another customer shared. Ok, so we’ve had a few days here and there of hot weather this year, and on those hot, sweaty, uncomfortable days/nights, it has been unbearable.
‘This Chillmax cushion came in handy in cooling me down immensely, I can say.’
To get better sleep and stay cool throughout the night, the JML Chillmax Pillow reacts to your body temperature to absorb excess heat, drawing it away from your skin to produce a natural cooling effect for long enough to ensure you drift off comfortably.
The versatile gel cooling pad from JML can be used as a pillow, mat or even a cushion
It can be placed under or on top of your pillow for maximum cooling, or slipped inside the case. On the hottest nights, the brand recommends popping into the fridge before use.
And it doesn’t need water or refilling – it’s good to go straight out of the box. The result? Relief from the heat for a more relaxed night’s sleep to ensure you wake up rested and refreshed.
Reviewers who suffer from migraines and headaches also praise the JML Chillmax Pillow for providing cooling relief for discomfort.
‘Perfect!’ a third shopper raved. ‘I bought this for a combination of menopause, migraine and multiple sclerosis hot flushes, and it’s perfect. I put it in the freezer for an hour before use, and it stays cold for the night.’
