Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the eye pillow for meditation or yoga?
Simply place it over your closed eyes during savasana, meditation, or any relaxation practice. The gentle weight of the flax seed filling creates a calming pressure that helps quiet the mind, while the natural lavender scent deepens relaxation. No heating required — it works beautifully at room temperature.
Can I heat it in the microwave?
Yes, but with care — microwave for 10-20 seconds maximum only. Shake gently to distribute the warmth and always test on your wrist before placing over your eyes. Never overheat a silk eye pillow as the fabric and filling are more delicate than a standard wheat bag.
Can I use it as a cold compress for headaches?
Yes — place it in a sealed freezer bag and freeze for 1 hour or more. A chilled eye pillow is wonderful for tension headaches, migraines, sinus pressure, and soothing tired or puffy eyes. Many customers keep one in the freezer ready to use.
Is it safe to use on sensitive skin?
Yes — the premium silk fabric is naturally soft, breathable, and gentle on delicate skin around the eyes. Silk is hypoallergenic and less likely to cause irritation than synthetic fabrics. If you have a known allergy to lavender or flax seed, please check with your GP before use.
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 over time 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 silk 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 and silk fabric. Spot clean the silk cover gently with a damp cloth if needed and allow to air dry fully before use.
Is it a good gift?
It's one of our most popular luxury gifts — the silk fabric and floral print make it feel genuinely special, and it fits through a standard letterbox. Choose the Gift Wrapped option above for a beautifully presented version with a personalised message, perfect for birthdays, Mother's Day, new mum gifts, or a thoughtful self-care treat.
What is the difference between this and a standard eye pillow?
This eye pillow uses premium silk fabric rather than cotton, giving it a noticeably softer, more luxurious feel against the skin. The organic flax seed filling is also finer and more conforming than wheat, making it ideal for use directly on the face. It's a step up for those who want a truly indulgent relaxation experience.
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.
A luxurious addition to your wellness routine — perfect for deeper relaxation, better sleep, and natural headache relief.

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.
