How we make our therapeutic heating pillows

You might be wondering who makes our therapeutic heating pillows, and how we make them! As you will see, our pillows are made in small batches and receive much love and attention.

After testing a dozen organic materials, we found the perfect cozy organic cotton flannel fabric for our heating pillows.

We cut 10 yards at a time and wash (or scour, in natural dyeing terms) our fabric with pH neutral all-natural soap. Once the fabric is washed and dried, we measure and cut out the heating pillows.

Here’s the fun part: we make or wake up our organic Henna Indigo dye vat by heating it up or adding more dye. While we wait for the Indigo vat to awaken, we fold and tie our heating pillows to get unique dye-resist patterns.

When the indigo flower has formed on top of the vat, it’s time to dye our pillows. Each pillow is dipped at least twice and up to four times to ensure a variety of shades of Indigo. Once they’re all dipped to our liking, they are rinsed, soaked in a vinegar solution and then washed and dried.

After trimming off the frayed ends, the pillows are ironed, sewn and filled with clean and dry cherry pits.

And Voila! Our organic, naturally-dyed heating pillows are born!

No two pillows are alike, so your handcrafted therapeutic heating pillow is truly one of a kind.
