weight appx 2.15 lbs
Flaxseed pillows provide gentle, moist heat and a comforting weight making them a welcome treat for a chilly evening. These pillows can also be used year round for muscle pain, arthritis, stomach aches, menstrual cramps and so much more.
They also can be frozen and used to sooth aches, pains, fevers, and swelling.
There are other natural warming and cooling pillows that use corn, buckwheat or rice as fillers.
Flaxseeds are far superior because:
- They contain around 40% oil, meaning that they can be reheated again and again without losing their ability to retain heat. Other grains contain mostly water that eventually cooks out.
- The heat is also long lasting - flaxseeds keep half their heat even after an hour. Other natural fillers tend to cool down quite quickly.
- Their small size and smooth shape allows the pillows to contour nicely around your body.
- There is no cooked smell. When heating other grains like corn and rice, there is a definite cooked food smell. Flaxseed has very faint, pleasant earthy smell that is not very noticeable.
Neck Pillow
When heating your flax pillow, place in the microwave on high for one minute. Remove the bag and shake to move the flax around. Microwave for another minute. If the flax isn't hot enough, repeat the process with one minute increments ....BE SURE TO SHAKE BETWEEN HEATINGS. The pillow will burn if unshaken.
Make sure you pay attention to the directions for heating the bag. If the bag burns at all, we are not responsible..... this will not happen if you shake the bag well between heatings.
If there are any other quality issues, we will review the complaint. If the issue is a manufacturer's defect, we will be happy to give a full refund within 30 days of the purchase.
