FAQs

Find Your Wrap

How do I know what scent to add to my wrap?

Lavender is a calming and relaxing herb. It has frequently been used for insomnia, anxiety, depression, and natural stress relief. Spearmint has many health benefits: it can alleviate symptoms of nausea or headaches and reduce swelling due to muscle or nerve pain. Lavender and spearmint blend is our best-selling scent.

How do I know which wrap is the best for me?

Yoga & Meditation?
Eye Pillows are wonderful for savasana and the perfect tool for your Yoga Nidra practice.

Shoulder pain and upper back pain?
The Deluxe Wrap is our heaviest wrap at about 5 lbs. It sits on your shoulders, falls down your back, and over the front of the body, bringing relief and deep comfort.

Headache?
Many of our clients use the Eye Pillow to soothe headaches. Place it in the freezer to cool the spearmint, then rest it over your head and eyes. Add the Body Wrap warmed up around your neck and your headache will float away.

Anxiety, stress, or just need a hug?
At the end of the day, who doesn't want that? Pick any of our wraps. Heat it up on a cool day, cool it down on a hot day, or just use it for the weight and aromatherapy and watch the day leave you.

Focus and calm during the day?
The Fidgets are a wonderful way to invite more focus into your day. Keep them by your computer for a quiet way to fidget during calls. Nervous on an airplane? Keep them in your carry-on. They're also a wonderful quiet tool for little ones during circle time.

Doula or midwife?
The Body Wrap or Eye Pillow are ideal tools to keep in your bag as you head to a birth. Leave extra Eye Pillows with mama. She can heat them in the microwave for calming relief during feeding, or use warmed over a blocked milk duct.

Breast cancer patient?
The Deluxe Wrap has been touted as a "life saver" after a mastectomy. At 22" x 24", it reaches both the breast area and the shoulder blades where a lot of post-surgical pain occurs. If you're sending this to a loved one, adding the Heart of Hope is always the perfect gesture.

Hospice patient?
Our wraps are used to help patients find comfort at the end of life. The best choices are the Body Wrap, an Eye Pillow, or the Deluxe Wrap. Heated up, they bring an incredible calm over the body through the combination of weight and warmth.

New mom?
The Eye Pillow warmed over cracked or engorged areas provides relief for breastfeeding challenges. The Body Wrap around the neck and shoulders helps release postpartum tension. Pair with our Lavender Mist for a spa-like ritual at home.

Made With Intention

Why do you use whole grain flaxseed as the main filler?

We care about sustainability and your health.

Natural material: We want to make sure you are never microwaving plastic. Our product is 100% eco-friendly and 100% natural, never using plastic. Some plastics may contain potentially harmful substances.

Heat retention: Flaxseed retains heat well, providing lasting warmth and comfort. With 30% oils in each grain, the wrap feels pleasantly damp (not wet), making the Eye Pillow an excellent alternative for dry eye relief.

Uniform distribution: Flaxseed creates a soft, even distribution of weight across your body.

What fabric do you use?

We use only 100% natural materials: cotton, silk, and linen. Natural fabrics allow air to circulate, preventing excess heat and moisture buildup. They're less likely to trigger allergic reactions, better for sensitive skin, and biodegradable. They're also incredibly soft against your skin.

What advantages does a weighted product offer?

Our Weighted Comfort Wraps create deep pressure touch, which promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety by triggering the release of feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine. This is the same science behind weighted blankets, in a targeted, portable, microwavable form.

Have weighted comfort wraps been around for a long time?

Yes, healers have used deep pressure touch for thousands of years. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses it to promote the flow of qi (vital energy). In Ancient India, Ayurvedic practitioners used weighted herbal poultices known as Pinda Sweda to reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension, and promote relaxation.

Are PM Comfort Wraps scented?

You choose! Every wrap comes in three options: Unscented, Lavender, or our best-selling Lavender + Spearmint blend, all made with sustainably harvested dried herbs sewn inside.

Lavender is soft and soothing, perfect for winding down at night. Lavender + Spearmint gives you that same calm with a cool, fresh lift, and it's our go-to for headaches and chilled use. Unscented gives you all of the weight and warmth for anyone sensitive to scent.

Can I microwave my PM Comfort Wrap?

YES! The combination of weight and heat is extraordinary. Start with 60–90 seconds, check the warmth before placing on skin, and add 15-second increments as needed. Every microwave is different. Warm, not hot, is the goal.

Can I put my PM Comfort Wrap in the freezer?

Yes! Cold use is fantastic for: hot flash relief, headache relief, sore muscles, and as a soft alternative to an ice pack. The wrap stays pliable and comfortable even when cold.

Is my wrap safe around cats and dogs?

Yes, with a few simple habits. Your wrap can share your bed, couch, and lap with your pets. Here is what to know: our wraps are filled with flaxseed and, if you choose a scent, dried lavender or lavender and spearmint. The ASPCA lists lavender and mint as toxic to cats and dogs if eaten, so the concern is chewing, not being nearby.

Simple habits for pet homes: Don't let pets chew, claw, or knead your wrap, or use it as their bed. Store it in a drawer or closet when you're not using it. If you warm it, check the heat before a curious pet curls up next to you. If a pet ever chews through the fabric and eats the filling, call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.

Have a chewer, or want extra peace of mind? Choose unscented. You get all of the weight and warmth with no herbs inside.

Calm Your Nervous System, Naturally

Does deep pressure from a weighted wrap stimulate the vagus nerve?

Yes. Deep pressure touch (the same sensation you get from a firm hug) activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which is directly connected to vagal tone. When your vagus nerve is engaged, your body shifts out of "fight or flight" and into "rest and digest." Our wraps provide consistent, gentle deep pressure across the neck, shoulders, and torso: the exact areas closest to the vagal pathways.

Can your products help with nervous system dysregulation?

Absolutely. Many of our customers come to us specifically for nervous system support. The combination of weight (deep pressure), warmth (heat), and aromatherapy (lavender or spearmint) creates a three-part sensory experience that signals safety to your nervous system. This is why people with anxiety, PTSD, burnout, and chronic stress find lasting relief with our wraps.

What is vagal tone, and how do your wraps support it?

Vagal tone refers to how effectively your vagus nerve regulates the shift between stress and calm. Higher vagal tone = better recovery from stress. Deep pressure touch, warmth, slow breathing, and calming scents like lavender are all evidence-backed ways to improve vagal tone over time. Our wraps support all four simultaneously.

What product do you recommend for vagus nerve support?

The Neck Pillow or Body Wrap are ideal. Warmed weight applied directly to the cervical (neck) region, where the vagus nerve runs. For whole-body calming, the Deluxe Wrap provides the most coverage. Those with sensory sensitivity can use any wrap unscented.

Support for Every Season of You

Can your wraps help with perimenopause symptoms?

Many of our customers in perimenopause and menopause report significant relief. When estrogen declines, it destabilizes the vagus nerve, making the "fight or flight" response more reactive. This is what drives hot flashes, anxiety, sleep disruption, and mood swings. Our wraps used cold for hot flashes or warm for anxiety and tension offer natural, non-hormonal nervous system support.

I'm having hot flashes. Can I use your wraps cold for relief?

Yes! The Eye Pillow and Neck Pillow are fan favorites for hot flash relief. Pop the Eye Pillow in the freezer and place it across your forehead, eyes, or the back of your neck during a flash. The cooling weight creates an immediate calming signal to your nervous system.

Can your products help with perimenopause-related sleep issues?

Yes. Sleep disruption during perimenopause is often tied to a dysregulated nervous system and fluctuating hormones. Using a warmed wrap over the neck and shoulders before bed activates the parasympathetic state, lowering cortisol and making it easier to fall and stay asleep. Our Body Wrap + Eye Pillow bedtime ritual is especially popular for this.

Are your products safe for people with hormone-sensitive conditions?

Yes. All of our wraps are filled with natural flaxseed and dried herbs. There are no hormones, synthetic fragrances, or pharmaceutical ingredients. They are non-invasive and safe alongside any medical treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.

Reset. Restore. Breathe.

What is the best wrap to use for better sleep?

The Body Wrap warmed in the microwave is our #1 sleep support product. Use it around your neck and shoulders for 15–20 minutes before bed as part of a wind-down ritual. Pair with the Eye Pillow over your eyes and breathe slowly. Many customers call this their non-negotiable nighttime ritual.

I have a headache. What product and scent should I choose?

The Eye Pillow in Lavender + Spearmint is our top recommendation. Chill it in the freezer, then rest it over your eyes or on the back of your neck. The cool spearmint feels fresh and clearing, and the lavender helps your body settle. Prefer something softer? Lavender alone is lovely warm or cool. Add a warmed Body Wrap around your neck for a double-relief approach.

Give the Gift of Calm

Are your wraps a good gift for someone going through cancer treatment?

They are one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. Our wraps are used in cancer centers, infusion suites, and at home during chemotherapy and radiation. The Deluxe Wrap and Body Wrap are most requested. Many customers bundle with the Heart of Hope as a message of love and support.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk purchasing for healthcare providers?

Yes! We work with yoga studios, therapy practices, birth centers, hospice programs, oncology centers, and corporate wellness programs. Visit our Wholesale & Corporate Gifting page for details.

I'm a somatic therapist, massage therapist, or yoga instructor. Can I stock your products?

Yes, and many do. Our products are a natural extension of somatic therapy, massage, yoga nidra, and trauma-informed practices. Visit our Wholesale page to get started. We love supporting practitioners.

Everything You Need to Know

Do you ship internationally?

We ship within the United States only, and US orders over $50 ship free. We don't ship internationally at this time.

How long will my wrap last? Do I need to replace the flaxseed?

With proper care, your wrap can last for years. If you use it daily, we recommend refreshing the flaxseed annually, as the oils break down over time and reduce heat retention. Contact us for guidance on how to care for your wrap.

Can I add scent later if I order unscented?

The scent is sewn into the inner pouch at production and cannot be added afterward. If you're unsure, our lavender/spearmint blend is our most universally loved choice. You can also add a few drops of your own essential oil to the outer fabric (never inside the pouch).
