Choose a neck and shoulder wrap for warmth that settles around you

A Neck and Shoulder wrap is shaped to rest comfortably around your neck and across your shoulders. Warmed before use, it brings gentle heat to the area while you sit back and unwind.

The wheat filling helps the wrap settle into place, creating a comforting, cocooned feeling. Some people find that sensation calming, a little like the reassuring comfort associated with a weighted blanket. Gentle warmth can also help tired, tense muscles relax.

Our wraps come in a range of fabric designs and are available either in cotton or a cotton and linen blend. Check the individual product description to choose your preferred fabric choice.

Choose an Eye Pillow for a quiet moment

An Eye Pillow is a smaller, weighted pillow designed to rest over closed eyes. Warmed before use, it can bring a gentle sense of comfort as you take a break and settle into your evening routine. It also blocks out light, helping you create a quieter moment.

The Eye Pillows are filled with flaxseed and come in scented or unscented options. They have removable covers, so check the product details for care instructions.
