Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Eye Pillow?
Eye pillows, also known as dream or yoga pillows, are rectangular fabric pillow pouches made from natural materials and filled with a natural filling, unscented or scented. Every 'Handmade By Emily Jayne' eye pillow uses Organic Flaxseed as a weighted base inside a separate inner bag.
Why do you use Organic Flaxseed?
Unlike rice, barley or wheat, the natural oil content and seed density of Organic Flaxseed means these eye pillows retain temperature for longer– whether that be as a hot compress to help ease aching muscles, or as a cold compress to help relieve inflammation.
How does an Eye Pillow work?
What benefits does my Eye Pillow provide?
Eye pillows are not just good for soothing tired and dry eyes, but are also great for aiding mindfulness within Yoga Nidra or restorative yoga practice.
Furthermore, eye pillows can assist with the reduction of stress, anxiety, depression, tension headaches, insomnia, as well as cold and flu symptoms.
Why do you only use natural materials?
We firmly believe that items placed near to skin should be of a high-quality and natural origin. Our expanding product range uses only natural fabric materials, including cotton and linen, which are soft on the skin. Bamboo and hemp fabric options, which are even kinder to the earth, are on the way too!
Why do you hand-sew your products?
A good thing can never be rushed. By hand-sewing seams closed I ensure a firm and discrete finish for your item without trailing or visible threads which are seen on the majority of competitor brands.
Furthermore, by hand-sewing on the 'Handmade By Emily Jayne' cotton label, I am able to complete a full quality check, whilst adding that personal touch.
