Hi everyone, it's Karen from the Georgie Grandma. I've got a quick video for you today
0:04
and it is a review of a cooling blanket. Now it's really hot outside at the moment so this couldn't be a
0:13
better time for me to have received this. I was asked if I wanted to review it and as the weather
0:20
is getting warmer I thought that sounds like a good idea. I really suffer from being too hot all
0:27
the time even when it's not summer but when it is summer it's difficult to sleep
0:32
you know you're toss and you turn and even when you're just sitting watching the
0:36
TV it's really uncomfortable so I thought a cooling blanket would be ideal
0:42
to get to review so this is the cooling blanket it is an arc chill cooling blanket
0:50
it says cooling like no other the blanket is 150 centimetres by
0:57
200 centimeters so we'll just take it out the box and have a look I haven't had it out
1:04
the box yet I mean even the box makes you feel cool the picture on it some nice
1:13
cool ice there which is what I'm needing at the moment so it's in a polythene bag
1:21
take it out that feels really soft That feels so nice. It says cool touch technology. I'm just going to put my specs on so I can feed what it says. Cool touch technology absorbs heat to keep cool
1:43
Gentle washing up to 30 degrees do not iron do not tumble dry do not bleach do not dry clean and hang in the shade
1:52
It all sounds good. It is the surface of the blanket is eight years. It's eight years
1:57
90 nylon and 20 polyethylene some assuming the polyethylene is what makes it feel cool and the back of it is a hundred percent cotton and like I said it is 150 centimeters by 200 centimeters they do do it in two of their sizes as well
2:18
130 by 170 centimeters if you wanted a smaller one or a slightly larger one 200 by 220 centimeters so we'll take the the paper
2:30
a bit off that's good at road and we'll have a look oh this is quite big and I'm
2:41
never really sure what things are in centimeters take me specs off again never
2:46
really sure what things are in centimeters it does feel it feels cool to the touch so
2:52
the cotton side is the warmer side and then I'm assuming this side
3:00
is the cooling side. It does feel cool to the touch. It's got a nice hem round it
3:08
so it's not going to fray. It's got some tags on. It's got the instructions on
3:16
that I've just explained about washing at 30 degrees, which is I wash everything
3:20
30 degrees, so that's nice. It's a nice colour, nice grey colour
3:25
It'll suit most colour schemes. You know, if you wanted to just put it
3:30
over the back of your sofa. Get it ready so when you're watching TV you can wrap it
3:35
round you if you're feeling too hot. Yeah, I'm just going to wrap it around us and see
3:40
what it feels like. Well that does feel cool. That really does feel cool. I'm quite
3:50
surprised. That feels really soft as well. I can't wait to actually use this tonight
4:00
because I mean like I say it so hot you know and you got the quilt on it you feeling that fine I got the quilt on and then through the night the quilts off the quilts off so it actually be nice to just I give Warren the quilt he can have all of the quilt and I have this um and see what that feels like through
4:22
the night but I'm thinking that's going to keep me quite cool now they also sent me some
4:28
pillow cases to go with it so this is the Archill pillow case it's in the same material as the
4:35
blanket so you know if you do want to put it on your bed and just leave it
4:39
there it's going to look quite nice because the colour is quite well with most
4:43
colour schemes we'll take it out the polypocket I love these little polythine
4:49
bags with the Ziplocs they're really handy for when you go on holiday I actually
4:55
might take this this blanket if I'm going somewhere hot I think that would fit in
5:00
a case quite nicely so we'll take that off I'm not sure if there's one or two pillar cases in here
5:13
Oh, there is two pillar cases. So that's good. I did get gifted a pillowcase, a silk pillowcase once
5:20
but I only got one and Warren didn't get to have one. So it'd be thrilled that there's two of these
5:26
So the pillar case is a nice size, pillar case size, obviously
5:31
It does have a zip. I do like a zipped pillar case. have to say I've only recently tried a zipped pillowcase and I just, there's so much
5:40
neater, you know, there's no flopping, you know, like with the housewife pillowcase as you get
5:46
But that is the cool, the cool material that I've felt on the blanket
5:50
The inside is obviously like the blanket, the warmer side inside and then the cool bit outside
5:58
So you know that thing about you turn your pillow over in the middle of the night to get the
6:02
cold side of the pillow. well you shouldn't have to with this one it should be keeping you cool all night
6:07
and it just how nice is it when it a hot night you know to have a cooling pillow case to keep you cool actually at feeling the pillow feeling the pillowcase the cool side is on one side and there actually the cotton side on the other side
6:25
So when it's not a hot night or, you know, if your partner that you share bed with
6:31
it isn't like you and doesn't feel the heat so much, then he can use the other side
6:36
She can use the other side, whichever. So I've just, I've got my pillow here
6:40
so I thought I'd try the pillowcase in it just to check that it does fit okay so I've got it
6:50
in the pillowcase the pillow case is plenty big enough for it you could you know if you
6:57
don't use this one is quite a thick rigid pillow that I've got if you use two
7:02
thin pillows you could probably get both of them in there but it fits really
7:06
nicely so I can't wait to That feels really cool on my face
7:13
I can't wait to use that tonight because like I say, it is so hot out there today
7:18
So I'm really looking forward to using my arch chill blanket and my arch chill pillowcase
7:26
And the company have also given me a 10% discount code for you
7:30
If you want to buy one, you can get 10% off. I'll leave the code
7:35
I'll put it on the screen here and I'll leave it in the description box. I'll also put a link to where you can get it
7:40
them on Amazon. So I'm really happy with those. I'm so pleased they sent me those to review
7:47
And I did have them, they are gifted, but that is my honest review of them. I am quite impressed
7:54
because that does feel cool. It really does. I think they'd be great for, you know, especially
7:59
when you're in menopause or postmenopausal like me and you're still having, you know
8:03
you still have night sweats and things like that. Or for, you know, for pregnant women during the
8:07
summer, if you're feeling too hot, throwing that cool blanket. around you would be a great idea
8:13
So yeah, I definitely recommend you go and check them out. So that's all for this video
8:19
Thanks for watching and I'll see you again soon. So bye for now
