The 'Eye Pillow Vacation' Lavender Eye Pillow is a sensory tool that combines weight, scent, and temperature. It uses organic flaxseed, which has a natural oil content that helps it withstand repeated heating or cooling without developing a "charred" scent. The emerald green shell is made of organic cotton with a 200+ thread count, designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking.
This pillow is particularly effective at holding its temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, providing a helpful layer of comfort for household stress or light headaches. To extend the life of the organic filling, users can place a small cup of water in the microwave alongside the pillow during heating cycles to keep the seeds from becoming brittle.
Features include:
- A 10-ounce weight that provides gentle pressure across the eyes.
- Real lavender buds used for a natural scent profile.
- A high-density fill that prevents light from leaking through.
Because the internal seeds are sensitive to moisture, this product cannot be machine-washed. The lavender scent is strongest for the first six months, after which it will naturally begin to fade, especially if the pillow is heated frequently.
For a synthetic option that is easier to launder and great for travel, the Kitsch Satin Sleep Mask is worth considering.
