Therapeutic & Contoured Pillows
- Don't cool to below-room temperature.
- Can be microwaved or chilled. Carefully about too hot or too cold!
- Cherry pits are an all-natural by-product of certain industries, and have been used warm for a long time to soothe aching muscles.

 rosemary, lavender and rose, but many varieties are available.
- Some are specially formulated for headaches, stress or sinus trouble.
- Heavy material used for support.
- Firm and not compressible -- some people find them too hard, others like the extra support.
- Cool, dry and well ventilated.
- Buckwheat hulls are the leftover material from buckwheat flour processing. Low quality hulls that are not well treated can have dirt, dust, flour, mold or other allergens.
- Pillows are sold overstuffed much of the time - do not discard the extra hulls! Instead, save them to add back into the pillow six months after you start using it.
- The hulls flatten out with use and this will help you achieve the best volume of hulls.
- "Noisy" - the hulls make a crunching or rustling sound when you move around on them.
- Pregnancy pillows can be as minimal as a wedge placed under the belly or as large as a full-body pillow.
- Help support your belly and your lower back when you lie on your side, the recommended position for sleep during pregnancy.

- Available in a wide range of materials, including various plant fibers, down and synthetic fibers.
- Check out the range of shapes below.
