Reviews Summary
Customers say this eye pillow provides gentle, soothing pressure on the eyes and effectively blocks out light for relaxation and sleep. Many appreciate its comfortable weight and soft fabric, noting it helps them fall asleep faster and enhances meditation or mat sessions. The pillow stays in place well due to weighted edges and accommodates different face shapes comfortably. Common feedback includes praise for its cooling effect and ability to relieve eye strain after screen time. Some customers wish it was heavier, noting the beads can shift away from the eye area, reducing pressure where needed most. A few mention an initial odor upon opening. Reviews consistently highlight its effectiveness for relaxation, stress relief, and creating complete darkness for better rest.

    Not what it used to be (literally)

    I love this company, and I love this product. I've had my weighted eye pillow for 2.5 years, and I loved it so much that I bought a tiny fridge to keep next to my bed to keep it cold. It was perfectly balanced and heavy and felt amazing when I went to sleep. Over time the pockets seemed to have worn out on the inside and the balance in the middle sections didn't cover my eyes right. Plus the clay beads started to leak. So I gladly ordered another pillow (and a spare for good measure) I didn't even think about the fact that these guys have a 5 year warranty.

    Neither of the new ones felt right. The eye sections just didn't feel heavy enough and it didn't have enough weight distribution on them either.

    So I got out my scale and weighed the old one, and both of the new ones...

    Both of the new ones weigh 264 and 263.5 grams...

    The old one...(which has had some beads leak out mind you) weighs 385.5 grams over 120 grams more considering some had leaked out.

    Please consider either going back to what this product used to be OR at a minimum offering a different level, in reading your reviews here there is a market here for a heavier pillow, and you used to have it. Thankfully I bought two, so I can sleep with both at the same time, which feels silly.

    PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!

    I couldn't believe my eyes

    Hard to review an eye pillow... especially when sleep comes fast. The weight is evenly distributed which is nice. I quite like the feel of the fabric - slippery, scented ones aren't for me so a simple cotton is perfect. Got for Yin practice but so far have consistently used it for bed time so I'm worried what will happen next time I'm at yoga!

    Very relaxing

    Great addition to the end of a yoga practice to fully relax and disconnect!

    Pleasant

    I like the eye pillow because it stays put. I do wish it were heavier and had more beads towards the middle. It seems like all the weight is on the outside and I need more pressure throughout.
