$175.00
This generously sized multifunctional, organic body pillow checks all of the boxes for anyone who wants a supportive rejuvenating restful sleep. You may be pregnant, feeding a baby, using a laptop in bed, recovering from surgery, have back pain, trouble sleeping, or just want luxurious rest with a moon pillow made of high quality materials.
Chances are you’ve tried a commercial body pillow, cervical, pregnancy or nursing pillow and it didn’t quite work the way you had imagined. You may have found yourself overheating, sweating, tossing and turning, precious hours of sleep lost to an uncomfortable foam & polyester pillow fight. Battle no more.
Our Sabakawa style Moon pillow comes with all the benefits that have been recognized for centuries. In the eastern world, using a buckwheat hull support pillow is common practice, and for good reason. Revered for being ultra supportive, grounding and comforting. This pillow is mindfully designed to be versatile, durable, and helpful for a multitude of positions. Adding a unique style to any room, they can and will be enjoyed by the whole family for years to come. These are the “slow fashion” of pillows, responsibly and consciously handcrafted to be renewable and compostable.
Naturally sensory weighted, soothing and supportive. The triangular structure of these tiny hulls fit together in a perfect geometric pattern, this allows for constant ventilation and temperature regulation. They form to your body and have low compression which means it won’t flatten out or slide away from you. Similarly to being in the womb, just the right temp, surrounded in comfort.
