One pillow, two temperatures

Most days you will know which one you need before you open the freezer.

Chill it

For light sensitivity and swelling

Straight from the freezer for migraine relief, light sensitivity, and de-puffing tired or swollen eyes. The weight does as much work as the cold does — gentle pressure across the brow and temples, resting in place rather than strapped around your head.

Warm it

For tension and eye strain

A short burst in the microwave for tension headaches and the ache that follows a long screen day. Warmth loosens what cold cannot reach. No cord to find, no pad to wait for, nothing to switch off.

Why not just an electric heating pad?

  • No cordAn electric pad ties you to a wall at exactly the moment you want to lie down in a dark room. This one goes where you go.
  • No plastic, no gelCotton on the outside. Organic flaxseed and dried lavender inside. That is the whole list.
  • Real lavender, not fragranceThe scent comes from dried lavender in the fill, so it is subtle and it fades. If synthetic fragrance is one of your triggers, that matters.
  • Weight, not just temperatureCold alone is a compress. Cold with even, gentle weight across the brow is a different feeling entirely, and it is the reason people keep reaching for it.

Questions people ask

Can I use it cold and warm?

Yes, the same pillow does both. Chill it in the freezer for cold, or warm it in the microwave in short bursts. Always test the temperature against your wrist before it goes near your eyes.

How long does it stay cold or warm?

That depends entirely on how long you chilled or heated it, and we would rather not give you a number that turns out to be wrong for your freezer or your microwave. Start short, see how it feels, and adjust from there.

Does it smell strongly of lavender?

No. The scent comes from real dried lavender in the fill rather than added fragrance, so it is faint from the start and softens over time.

Will it help my migraines?

We cannot promise that, and we will not. What we can tell you is what it does: gentle, even weight and your choice of cold or warmth across the eyes, brow and temples. Many people find that combination helps with light sensitivity and tension. It is a comfort object, not a medical device.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean the fabric and let it air dry. The cover does not come off and the flaxseed and lavender fill cannot be submerged, so please do not machine wash or soak it.
