Therapeutic & Contoured Pillows

Cherry Stone 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.

Herbal Pillows 

  • Usually designed to be placed over the eyes, although some can be used on the neck.
  • Contain a blend of botanicals intended to help sooth, relieve aches, and calm the nerves.
  • Popular herbs include peppermint rosemary lavender  and rose but many varieties are available.
  • Some are specially formulated for headaches stress  or sinus trouble

Buckwheat 

  • 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 

  • 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.
  • The best choice is the one that works well for you.
  • Available in a wide range of materials, including various plant fibers, down and synthetic fibers.
  • Check out the range of shapes below.
  • Many can also be used as comfortable nursing pillows.
