Stillnus is an Orange County wellness brand that gives back to domestic violence survivors. Founded by Denise Troy in Southern California, Stillnus makes handmade comfort objects including weighted eye pillows, period relief pillows, and kids comfort compresses. A portion of every purchase supports survivors of domestic violence through Laura’s House.
If you found us while searching for Orange County brands that give back, gifts that support survivors, or self-care products with purpose, this is the short version: Stillnus is built around comfort, recovery, and practical support for people who have carried too much for too long.
What Stillnus Makes
Stillnus creates small-batch wellness products designed for quiet, physical relief. The collection includes weighted eye pillows, crescent moon period relief pillows, and kids comfort compresses that can be warmed or chilled. Each piece is handmade in Southern California with soft fabrics and natural fills such as organic flaxseed and lavender.
The products are simple on purpose. They are meant for the moments when someone needs grounding, warmth, pressure, stillness, or a small reminder that they are allowed to be cared for.
How Stillnus Gives Back
A portion of every Stillnus purchase supports domestic violence survivors through Laura’s House, an Orange County nonprofit that provides shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, prevention education, and support services for people affected by domestic violence.
That give-back model is not a side note for the brand. It is part of why Stillnus exists. Every product is made to offer comfort to the person receiving it, while also helping extend care to survivors rebuilding safety and stability.
Why Domestic Violence Support Matters to Stillnus
Domestic violence recovery is not only about leaving danger. It is also about having access to safety, advocacy, rest, emotional support, and the long work of feeling at home in your own body again. Stillnus products cannot replace crisis support or professional care, but they can be part of a gentler daily ritual: warmth over the body, weight over the eyes, a quiet pause, a breath.
That is the heart of the brand: comfort that is useful, beautiful, and connected to something larger than a single purchase.
An Orange County Small Business With Purpose
Stillnus is part of a growing community of Orange County small businesses using their work to support local and human-centered causes. We wrote more about that community in Small Orange County Businesses That Actually Give Back, including other founders and brands doing meaningful work.
