Earth Therapeutics Mind/Body Therapy Anti-Stress Eye Pillow, Lavender + Chamomile, 1 pillow

I bought this eye pillow from Wal-Mart some years back and it only just recently lost scent. Since I couldn't find it in stores around me anymore and I was fortunate enough to stumble across it here on Amazon, I figured I'd go ahead and repurchase it again. Given my experience with this brand before - and not just this specific product - I didn't think anything could go wrong. When I received the package, there was no scent whatsoever to it - and those that know know that it's supposed to be scented with lavender and chamomile. My husband suggested that maybe I need to lay it in the open to "activate" the scent, let it air out. Since there was no scent when I opened the package, I figured that there was no harm in letting it air out. I checked it everyday, and there is still no scent to it. The old eye pillow, which I still have and use, still has a lingering scent to it. I don't know what's going on with this new one, but I don't care for it.By the way, no, I'm not going to purchase the pillow spray because I shouldn't have to utilize it on something that's brand new that's supposed to be scented already.Let's just say that I'm disappointed.

Second time I have bought this cuz I really love it. Label says dry clean only but really? Who is gonna take this little pillow to the dry cleaners? Not I. That's why I bought another one. They are inexpensive though. No smell. The material feels cool on my eyes. I get migraines and this pillow is very soothing. Tried many other eye pillows. This is the best IMHO.

I absolutely love this Eye Pillow! Have used only this one (many) over maybe 18-20 years. So glad Amazon has them. Love the fragrance, which is very subtle. It is silky and yet the pillow lies well on my eyes, due to the soft buckwheat inside that settles in place. I do not like eye pillows with elastic. I tell all my friends about Earth Therapeutics.

This is nice, but will not stay in place if you breathing too heavily! It is small, and smooth, and slips off your eyes if you buttons. Otherwise, it is lovely!

Good anti stress eye pillow. What I like about the Earth Therapeutics Mind/Body Therapy pillow1) I like the fragrance of the lavender and chamomile pillow.2) The fragrance is not overwhelming it is subtle.3) It is not overstuffed so it drapes nicely over your eye and sinus area when you are lying flat.4) The silk has a cooling effect5) I have chronic sinusitis and this pillow feels like it helps to relieve some of that tight pressure pain. It also seems to calm the area around my eyes.I have used several different sinus pillow type remedies over the years for that "ahhh relief!" moment when you can feel the swelling and ache diminishing.Not many were very effective but this one and the Lavender eye pillow by AyaZen are both effective. However, I would choose the one from AyaZen over this one because:1) It can be heated and froze as long as you put it in a plastic sealed bag so it doesn't absorb freezer odor.2) It has more filling and a more balanced filling making it a little weightier than the Earth Therapeutics eye pillow3) The velvet like cover of the AyaZen is soft and luxurious yet it also has a griping effect so it doesn't readily slip off your face.4) It has a stronger lavender scent that is soothing but not overwhelming.5) For me, this pillow relieves the pain and pressure associated with my sinusitis better.As a comparison, they are both good eye pillows but AyaZen wins for me.The reason Earth Therapeutics is not a perfect five stars and doesn't win for me:1) It doesn't have the balanced filling the AyaZen does2) The silk used to encase the Earth Therapeutics pillow slips very easily unless you are lying down flat.If your head happens to turn a little while sleeping at an angle or with your head raised at any height, it slips off. Even though you can conform it to your eyes and nose it won't stay because of the silkiness of the material and the almost whisper light weight of the pillow. If your head is raised at any angle or your head happens to fall sideways while napping, you must continually reposition the pillow.3) you cannot heat it in the microwave or put it in the freezer. I know this pillow is suppose to be Therapeutic based solely on the oils it harbors and the silk that encases it but it just needs a little more to really reach that Therapeutic level.I bought this based on it conforming to the face and being Therapeutic. However, I often sleep with my head raised up or in my recliner because of breathing issues due to my sinuses.The silk of this pillow would always cause it to slip down or sideways causing me to wake up and recenter it on my eyes. Overall, I would recommend this pillow for someone who doesn't have to sleep with the head or upper body raised at any height and doesn't have to turn their head much while napping. The silk does have a cooling effect and the lavender and chamomile does help to relieve some of the pressure and pain.

I am on my fifth one of these eye pillows, and I love them! My last one lasted for 3-4 months before wear and tear on the outside silk "pillow case" started ripping. I have never had issues with the flax seeds spilling out. The scent isn't as strong after a couple days out of the package, but I don't mind. I like these because they help block out light if my husband is working or reading. I am mostly a back sleeper and after I fall asleep, the pillow falls off at some point (I don't like wearing sleep masks that have a strap that go around your head). The weight is comforting and the silk feels nice against the face.

This eye pillow 2 pack arrived just as described. Each pillow was individually packaged. The scent is pleasant without being overbearing (my husband does not like fragrance but feels like it is not powerful enough to bother him). The cover is silk and soft, and the pillow is fairly lightweight.10/2012 EDIT: These eye pillows did not hold up well. Both eventually had gaps form in the sewed seams, and flax seeds have been "leaking" out and getting everywhere. One pillow was thrown out months ago, and the other one was thrown out today. I am going to buy another product rather than order these items again. Also, the fragrance was next to nothing after about a week's use.

Bought a 2-pack for myself and my wife... They apper to be filled with thousands of microbeads, along with the herbals.I have aching legs from poor circulation, and have to use a iSqueeze leg machine many nights when the pain is severe.... I found that the Eye Pillow is such a nice feeling that I can do without the machine many nights that the aching is less severe.My wife laughed at first, but now she is using hers too.We are in our early 60's, but I think any age could enjoy the Eye Pillows...!
