Finding the best pillow to see you through a bad case of the night sweats can be tough.

The pillows were spotted and shared by a savvy shopper on popular Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK.
Group member Kerrie posted, ‘Anyone struggling to keep cool at night in this heat, these are a god send. Put them in the freezer for a few hours before bed and lay them underneath you. Best £7.99 I’ve ever spent.’
The pillows have since come down in price, and are also available with free delivery on Prime – so you shouldn’t have too long to wait before trying them out for yourself.
Customers have also suggested using the versatile pillows for long car journeys in the hot weather, as well as a cooler for underneath children’s play mats during the heatwave.

‘These are great! Just brought two packs so I have one and my kids have one each,’ wrote one satisfied Amazon customer. ‘Today was 35 here in the south of England and tonight muggy as anything. This really helped make it a bit easier to sleep. My daughter popped hers in the fridge and then the freezer to see if that made it last longer…and both did, as long as you don’t let it actually freeze. Just let it go really cold and pop it in your pillow for a comfy night’s sleep.’

Another customer meanwhile praised the pillows for alleviating her night-time hot flushes, writing, “I have hot flushes during the night and these have saved my life… I swap them over during the night to keep my face/arms hands cool. Marvellous have even taken them on holiday.”
At just £3.50 per pillow, who could argue with that?
