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.
Can I heat it in the microwave?
Yes, but briefly — microwave for 10-20 seconds maximum. Shake gently to distribute the warmth evenly and always test on your wrist before placing over your eyes. Gentle warmth is lovely for easing tension headaches and soothing tired or strained eyes.
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, puffy eyes, and general cooling relief. Many customers keep one in the freezer ready to use at a moment's notice.
Is it good for dry eyes?
Many customers find the gentle weighted pressure and warmth helps ease dry eye discomfort by encouraging the eyes to rest fully closed. For persistent dry eye symptoms, please consult your optician or GP.
How long does the lavender scent last?
The natural English lavender scent is most noticeable when the pillow is 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 suitable as a letterbox gift?
Yes — this eye pillow is sized and packaged to fit through a standard letterbox, making it ideal for sending directly to someone as a gift. Choose the Gift Wrapped option above for a beautifully presented version with a personalised message. Perfect for birthdays, get-well-soon wishes, stress relief gifts, or a thoughtful treat for a yoga or meditation lover.
What is the difference between this and the silk eye pillow?
This eye pillow uses soft cotton fabric, making it a practical, everyday option at a more accessible price point. Our silk eye pillows use premium silk fabric which is even softer and more luxurious against the skin — ideal as a special gift or treat. Both are filled with organic flax seed and English lavender.
Is it suitable for travel?
Absolutely — at 20cm x 9cm and 170g it's compact and lightweight, making it easy to pack in a hand luggage bag, yoga kit, or overnight bag. Perfect for long flights, hotel stays, or weekend retreats.
A beautiful and practical wellness gift that brings spa-like relaxation to your daily routine.

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.
