Is it a bamboo pillow that is used at night to keep you cool?

Well done Phil, I really thought the others would 'give in' on this one.

Originally, in Indonesia the man used them as replacements for their wives, because you can easily wrap your arms and legs around the bamboo structure.



However, nowadays it is used for cooling purposes in humid areas of the world.
The holes allow air to flow through and the bamboo is cooler than sheets.

I reckon Phil was researching that one - Google is yr best friend! We needed some one clever to guess that one... well done Phil. I guess Babs was right in the background - they were pillows.
