Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the eye pillow for meditation or yoga?
Place it over your closed eyes during savasana, meditation, or any lying-down relaxation practice. The organic flax seed filling creates a gentle, calming weight that helps quiet the mind and relax the muscles around the eyes. The natural lavender scent deepens the sense of calm. No heating needed — it works beautifully at room temperature.
How long do I microwave it for?
Microwave for 10-20 seconds maximum only — eye pillows need far less time than wheat bags. Shake gently to distribute the warmth and always test on your wrist before placing over your eyes. Gentle warmth soothes tension headaches and tired eye muscles beautifully.
Can I use it cold for headaches or migraines?
Yes — place it in a sealed freezer bag and freeze for at least 1 hour. A chilled eye pillow is excellent for tension headaches, migraines, sinus pressure, and puffy eyes. Many customers keep one in the freezer ready to use at a moment's notice.
Is it good for stress and anxiety?
Yes — the combination of gentle weighted pressure over the eyes, complete light blocking, and natural lavender aromatherapy activates the body's natural relaxation response. Even 10-15 minutes lying quietly with this eye pillow can noticeably reduce feelings of stress and tension.
How long does the lavender scent last?
The natural English lavender scent is most noticeable when first used or gently warmed. It mellows gradually with regular use — most customers find it lasts 6-12 months. You can refresh it by adding a drop of lavender essential oil to the outside of the cover.
Can I wash it?
The eye pillow should not be machine washed or immersed in water as this will damage the flax seed filling. Spot clean the cotton cover gently with a damp cloth if needed and allow to air dry fully before use.
Is it a good gift?
It's a popular and affordable wellness gift — the bubble print is fun and distinctive, and it arrives in letterbox-friendly packaging wrapped in tissue with ribbon. Choose the Gift Wrap option above for a beautifully presented version with a personalised message. Perfect for birthdays, get-well-soon wishes, stress relief gifts, or a thoughtful self-care treat.
Is it suitable for insomnia?
Many customers find the combination of complete light blocking, gentle weighted pressure, and natural lavender aromatherapy helps them fall asleep more easily. It's particularly popular for those who struggle to switch off at night or who are sensitive to light. It is not a medical treatment for insomnia — if you have persistent sleep difficulties, please consult your GP.

Wheat Bag Safety Guide: How to Heat, Use & Care for Your Microwavable Heat Pack
Heating Your Wheat Bag Safely
Always heat your microwavable wheat bag in a clean microwave on medium power (500-600W). For first-time use, heat for 1-2 minutes, then check the temperature. Never exceed 3 minutes of heating time to prevent overheating and fire risk.
Key heating safety tips:
- Heat in 30-second intervals for optimal warmth
- Never heat a damp or wet wheat bag
- Allow to cool for at least 4 hours between heating cycles
- Check for hot spots before applying to skin
- Do not overheat - wheat bags should be warm, not burning hot
Safe Usage Guidelines
Place your heated wheat bag on the affected area for 15-20 minutes maximum. Always use a protective cloth barrier if the heat pack feels too hot against bare skin. Wheat heat therapy is ideal for muscle pain relief, period cramps, arthritis, back pain, neck tension, and warming cold hands and feet.
Never use wheat bags:
- On infants under 3 years old without supervision
- While sleeping or unconscious
- On areas with reduced sensation or poor circulation
- If the fabric is damaged or torn
Wheat Bag Care & Maintenance
Spot clean your wheat bag with a damp cloth only - never immerse in water or machine wash. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Inspect regularly for signs of wear, scorching, or unusual odours.
Replace your wheat bag if you notice:
- Burnt smell or scorch marks
- Torn or damaged fabric
- Moisture or mould inside
- Reduced heat retention
Longevity & Storage Tips
With proper care, quality wheat bags last 2-3 years. Keep away from pets and children when not in use. Store in a breathable cotton bag rather than plastic to prevent moisture buildup.
Important Safety Reminder: Always supervise wheat bag use and follow these guidelines to ensure safe, effective heat therapy for natural pain relief and comfort.
