Product Review: Frosty Pillow Gel Mat from Angel Direct Products
Hey there tumblr! It's smile posting here with something new: a product review! I'd like to start up a special tumblr just for product reviews soon... so please take a look at my sample review here for the Frosty Pillow Gel Mat, a cooling mat for your pillow!
This cooling mat is meant to be used for comfort and/or things such as hot flashes, headaches, neck pain, and fevers. I've been using it for about a week now, and it's nice to have around -- no complaints or issues yet.
The mat itself is a thin sheet of cool, gelatinous material sewn inside a blue cover. The outer cover that comes along with it both acts a buffer for the cold and keeps the mat clean, as the mat can be folded for storage. It’s pretty thin so it’s not very intrusive while laying on it, but it does have a bit of weight on it, which made it a little awkward to use when using the mat for my back, with the pillow propped up. It does take some getting used to at night because it's something new beneath your head. The instructions on the box are fairly straightforward; place the cooling mat into the refrigerator for about an hour before use, and then place the mat over or inside of your pillowcase. In my experience, the cooling effect lasts for about an hour before it begins to warm up. If you’re like me and have a relatively thin pillowcase, I highly recommend placing a towel in between the pillowcase and the mat for layering, as the mat can get very cool especially when left in the refrigerator for longer than an hour.
I get migraines fairly regularly, and I tried using it once during a duller episode. I can say conclusively that while the mat can’t be used by itself as a remedy, it does make the bed more comfortable while waiting for the Tylenol to kick in. As a college student, I also live in a dorm with no air conditioning... as of this review, it’s February here in Cleveland, and so the weather has been very "on/off" recently. I have definitely found this to be a better bet on warmer nights as opposed to colder ones, and I can see myself getting the most use out of this mat during the summer and fall.
Overall, I can see myself using this every now and then in the future, and for the week I’ve tried it for, it’s remained functional and is fairly portable on top of being easy to use.
