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 comfortable night’s sleep to ensure you wake up rested and refreshed.
On Amazon, the JML Chillmax Pillow has climbed the site’s Neck Pillow chart, securing a bestselling spot with more than 3,500 five-star reviews. Hot sleepers have called it ‘heaven in hot weather’ and say it helps them to ‘fall asleep during otherwise unbearably hot nights’.
‘Wish I had known about this earlier,’ one five-star reviewer wrote. ‘Love this inlay! It really helps to cool you down, and I wish I had discovered it earlier during the heatwave.
‘The cooling effect lasts for a good while (approx 6 -7 hours), but then it seems to return the warmth you have put into it, so I end up rotating it to find a side I haven’t used yet, and that will still usually be cool. Has helped me to get a better sleep when hot.’

Other reviewers who are experiencing menopause have also praised the JML Chillmax Pillow for providing cooling relief when hot flushes hit.
‘Menopausal women, you need this!’ a fourth shopper explained. ‘I am going through menopause and wake up in the night at least once having a hot flush; now I just put this pillow on my pillow, and within seconds you can feel yourself cool down.
‘It is so cold when you are so hot it’s instant relief. I don’t put it in the fridge it’s just by my bed if I need it and it’s cold enough, now I wouldn’t be without it – brilliant product!!’
