In my cooler I used beads that are made of the same material that is in the water pillows. In my cooler I put some of the beads in a small zip lock freezer bag, using the boxes to hold the bag upright. This bag of beads is probably equivalent in size to about 4 or 5 pillows. My cooler must not seal as tight as NCRadioman's. But when I check the cooler and the RH is to high zip the bag closed until it reaches the low 60's RH.
You can get the Polysodium acrylate beads at Michaels Arts and Crafts stores. A little bag of these beads is less than $2.00.

Copied from Stogiefreshdotcom
The Water Pillow uses a super absorbent polymer (polysodium acrylate) as the humidification element. Super absorbent polymers (SAP) can absorb more than 500 times their weight in water. They come in the form of small beads or, in the case of the Water Pillows, in powder form.

Thanks for the clarification. Although you setup is more complicated than standard pillows, it sounds more reliable (and cheaper.) If I ever get around to setting up a cooler, this is exactly how I'll do it.

After looking at reviews online, I actually jumped and ordered them. The cheapest I could really find them online was around 50 cents each which made the lot of 300 of them really a bargain.

Anyhow, I got the package today and here they are... all 100 packages. (300 pillows)

W-O-W

That's a lot of pillows!!! Not to be confused with the 'pillows' on my girlfriend in college...
