Yes or no?

Air conditioned pillow - Patent 4006604

Warder Revestel · 07-04-2009, 03:53 AM

That's unusual, so I voted maybe. I think I had too much pie recently.

Spaceman Opus · 07-04-2009, 08:55 AM

I'd be worried about stiff neck & the ultra-dry air from an air conditioner that close to my mouth 8 hours a night, but it does look really cool (heh....) so I voted maybe

Isabeau Imako · 07-04-2009, 10:45 AM

I voted Yes! before even taking the time to scroll down and read.
It would have to be silent, though. A silent air-conditioner? Doubtful.

I think an air-tight, flexible container you could fill with ice, then fit
inside a pillow made for it would be better. Like those red hot water
bottles we used to have, but for ice.

I'm on the maybe wagon too. A nice cool pillow in the hot hot summer sounds nice as long ass they don't over do it. Would have to wait and see how well it worked and if it were nice andn cool and not downright cold.

Pffft! Silly westerners! We are way ahead of you in technology in Japan!...behold the Air Conditioned Bed!!

Did anyone read the Demolished Man? he had a temperature controlled mattress. Or the one in Stranger in a Strange Land, that would be nice.

Rooke Ayres · 07-04-2009, 04:37 PM

I voted no.

I like my pillows hot and sweaty, thank you.

Redhead · 07-04-2009, 04:47 PM

NO! I mean come on, how decadent and energy wasting does our society have to be?

It's ok to be slightly uncomfortable once in a while. Really, it is.

I don't think I've ever been that hot that I wished I had a cooler pillow. It wouldn't get much use in England. Now, a heated pillow, that would get my vote.

Tegan Sideshow · 07-04-2009, 05:40 PM

I wouldn't like to have air con that close to my head all night

**Katelynne Shippe** · 07-04-2009, 05:44 PM

Right now I'd say yes, because in the UK we've had a few days of sunshine. Trouble is, the remaining 361 days of the year it would lie in a cupboard unused.

YouTube - FAMILY GUY -The cool side of the pillow-

/sigh... yucky clip, all I could find.

For someone like me, (living in Florida, post menopausal and post chemo) this would be a dream come true. Also, something like this would probably save energy because people like me would otherwise have the AC on much lower. Hubby is always complaining about being cold and I'm always hot.

I'd buy one in a heart beat. In fact I did buy a chillo (a pillow that you fill with water and put in the fridge and then put under your pillow). Problem is - I have cats and they have nails. I also bought special PJs that help keep you cooler. Every little bit helps.

What kind of PJs are these?

They are great! (Lord I can't believe what I reveal in a public forum) but after the chemo, combined with menopause I had horrible night sweats that were so bad I had to change PJs and often change the sheets. These PJs are wonderful.

This is also the site that sells the chillo.

When I was in labor with my daughter, the nurse who took care of me on the day shift turned my pillow over to the "cool" side every time she came in to check on me. Even though it was something I could have done for myself, it was heavenly to have someone who was so dedicated to keeping me comfortable while laboring.

Of course, the epidural didn't suck, either.

Personally, I don't look at having an air conditioned pillow as excessive. My first thought was "Wow, maybe we'd be able to run the central air less if our pillows were blowing out cool air!" But then, my family and I live in the 9th Gate of Hell (AKA Florida).
