Grain Pillows: Areas of Application and Usage

Looking to buy the ideal grain pillow? The right choice depends significantly on the intended usage. Although the heating or cooling function is practically the same for all pillows, the usage can still be optimized by factors such as the appropriate size, leading to improved treatment results.

Heat Therapy and Cooling

Unlike a hot water bottle, which can only be heated, a grain pillow can also be placed in the refrigerator or in a freezer bag in the freezer for a few minutes. The grains can retain the cold, which allows the pillow to be used for cooling purposes, similar to a hot-cold compress. This versatile usage allows for optimal treatment of sprains and contusions.

Naturally, the grain pillow can also be used as a heat pillow. For this purpose, follow the instructions provided to heat the pillow in the oven or microwave. The heat is retained by the grains, and even with extended use, it does not fall below body temperature, which enhances the effectiveness of the heat.

Care Instructions

When purchasing a grain pillow, it is important to store the pillow dry between uses. Heating or cooling can generate moisture, which can damage the grains over time. Regular airing and dry storage ensure long-term use. Some pillows, especially those in the form of plush toys for children, offer the option to remove the filling using a Velcro fastener and wash the fabric. While grain pillows should not come into contact with water, cherry pit pillows can be gently cleaned by handwashing.

The Various Benefits of Different Filling Materials

Grain pillows can be customized to individual needs with different filling materials.

Unlike a hot water bottle, a grain pillow offers the significant advantage of being filled with dry natural materials. There is no risk of scalding, making the pillow particularly suitable for children and babies.

Depending on the filling, an additional massage effect can be achieved. Finely grained natural materials are softer and more pliable, while coarsely grained kernels, as in cherry pit pillows, provide a more pronounced massage that can stimulate metabolism.

Whether with cherry pits or spelt kernels, purchase your desired grain pillow from our shop now!

Grain Kernels

Grain pillows and especially spelt pillows are the most common variants, along with cherry pit pillows. In addition to spelt, which is particularly used by allergy sufferers, other grains such as rye, wheat, rapeseed, or millet are also used.

Fruit Kernels - Grape & Cherry Pits

Fruit kernels are also commonly used in kernel pillows. One of the most popular variants is the cherry pit pillow. The coarseness particularly stimulates blood circulation, which can help with arthrosis and joint problems. Grape seed pillows retain heat particularly well due to the high oil content in grape seeds and are ideal in a chilled state for migraines and headaches.
