| It's funny you mention this because I actually have ours inside of a pillowcase and was thinking the other night of putting it inside of MY pillow case, but I don't think it would be very comfy to sleep on. Mine has pretty pointy edges

| Great minds.... I've seen the ones that they make for 'people of a certain age'.... both for insides of pillows, and large ones to go on the mattress under the sheet, but I don't know of anyone that's used them, so thought I'd just join in on the doggy ones.... x |

| My two like to hang out by the neighbors fence, so I put a couple clay tiles for them to stand on. In the house we have porcelian tile throughout so they stretch out on the floors. Maybe a couple of big marble or quartz tiles from the clearance rack at the tile store placed in random places would help? |

They've got the people sized ones on amazon.com I think - under Health and Personal Care - Cooling Mats. I wonder if they do really work, it would be interesting to see?! Sally x | |

I saw these on QVC (tv shopping club) and it was for 2 mats for you to sit on. As we boat a lot, I thought this might be good. They do work and work great. As and all things, ours, they wound up going to the dogs, literally. lol I gave them up for Maggie May and Hot Rod to use while out on the boat as well as in the house. Maggie is my winter baby, she does notlike to be hot at all and will actually climb out of her bed and lie on the kitchen tile. I have these placed in the sunroom and in the kitchen for them. They love it.

We need to start a club for "people of a certain age"!! I tried the people- one years ago that you put inside your pillowcase. It didn't work very well for me. Just didn't stay cool long enough and made the pillow heavy. They may have improved them over the last few years, though. I now have a mattress pad that has some kind of gel in it that is advertised to keep you cooler at night. Actually, it really works! When I get too warm in one spot, I shift my legs or body into another cooler spot and it feels SO GOOD! It was about $150. I got it at Denver Mattress when I bought my new mattress last year. When my husband lays on it, he complains because it's too cold for him! If anyone has one that works really well inside the pillowcase, please let me know how the name of it and where to purchase it. I'm one hot mamma! I think the tile idea for the dogs is a great idea! I notice Betty Boop always laying on our kitchen porcelain tile and the entryway tile. She's just like her mamma (except I don't lay on the tile, at least not yet, anyway ..........OKay, I'm getting a visual here! )

| ZoE has a gel cooling mat. We used to have a one you filled with water, but that was way too heavy and had to be chilled in the freezer to keep cool....then it sprung a leak The gel kind is ok...cool to the touch but not cold. I wouldn't say it compares to laying on a marble floor tile, which IMO is much cooler. I've used the gel mat in ZoE's stroller a few times, and somehow it's developed wrinkles in it. I've tried to smooth it out somewhat, but can still feel (& see) the crease of the internal wrinkles. Any ideas how to fix? 1st pic: ZoE on her gel mat 2nd pic: showing the wrinkles

We are STILL waiting for ours to get here. This weekend was supposed to be hot, but thank goodness it wasn't too bad. They should get here by Monday. Geez I ordered them last Sat or Sun. Didn't think the holiday would slow it down that much!

| Her mat is 19.5"L x 15.5"W. It's the perfect size for her to lay on. ZoE's a big girl...she's 8 1/2lbs and 12 inches tall at the shoulder and 13 inches long on her back. Hope you get yours soon. Did they already send it & provide a tracking number?

| Yes, it should be arriving tomorrow. Uni is average size for a yorkie. Scraps is a small one, but I still thought the small was way too small. It was like 8" wide! Like the size of a letter piece of paper!

| Sorry just now seeing this.... The brand of theirs is Precision Mat. I got lucky and found it on a random shipment of two that they got in at Marshall's, but they never got any more after that. I wish I had gotten both now that I know they do seem to work pretty well! They aren't freezing by any means, but they are definitely cooler!! |
