Cherry on Top

It has been more than a decade of delivering warmth and wellness with Hot Cherry Pillows. As I look back on my journey, I am filled with love, gratitude, and a cherry promise of always being there to cozy up your beds and provide pain relief and soothing comfort with sustainably-made therapeutic pillows.

As someone who has cold feet and is chilly even during the summer evenings, falling asleep used to be a challenge for me, but thankfully, I discovered cherry pit-filled pillows, a traditional remedy of the Swiss to warm up their beds and soothe aches and pains. They were quite popular in Europe, unlike the United States, where few people have even heard of cherry pit filled pillows and their benefits.

I was in love with them, the very first time I tried one. They gently warmed up my cold feet as I dozed off. The moist heat also worked wonders for my overworked, aching muscles. I made a few for my family and friends, and they loved them, too. That was the beginning of founding an amazing business with the end goal of helping the whole country feel better with Hot Cherry Pillows.

Sustainable Goodness for the Win

I believe in a natural, sustainable lifestyle, and a little over ten years ago, I could not have imagined myself in a business involving the use of a microwave. But, when I was introduced to cherry pillows and experienced their goodness first-hand, I was determined to share it with as many people as I could. I have taken all the steps to give you a product that is good for you and the environment.

I wanted a made-in-the-USA, earth-friendly product without compromising on quality, and I achieved that goal, our Hot Cherry Pillows are exactly that!

The source of our cherry pits is the Montmorency tart cherries that are pitted and juiced as a nutritional supplement. Instead of ending up in a landfill, those cherry pits are used in our therapeutic pillows. I reached out to a family-run company that cleans and dries Montmorency cherry pits using only water and heat, without any chemicals. I had unbleached denim dyed with natural dyes. A local family-owned sewing shop helped me sew and fill my designs, and the final products were ready. The last step was to create eco-friendly minimal packaging, and I made a commitment to myself to use recycled packing and shipping materials whenever possible.

Today, Hot Cherry Pillows are shipped across the country to homes, retailers, spas, and chiropractic clinics– and the orders keep coming! I am proud that I successfully turned a little-known leftover into comforting, pain-relieving, body-warming pillows.

What is a Hot Cherry Pillow?

It is a therapeutic pillow filled with sustainable cherry pits, exuding an aromatic fragrance when heated. You can heat or freeze the pillow to use it for moist penetrating heat, or cold relief. It can be warmed in a few minutes in either a microwave or a towel warmer. For a chilled Hot Cherry Pillow, keep it in a freezer for approximately two hours.

The moist, penetrating heat from the pillow relaxes tired muscles, relieves pain and aches, and releases stress, inducing sleep. The chilled pillow can be used as a cold compress to provide relief from sprains, inflammation, swelling, and bruising. The cold relief from the Hot Cherry Pillow does not come with the wetness or burn of traditional ice packs.

We created the Hot Cherry Cervical Neck Pillow in partnership with a chiropractor. The pillow is designed to help improve the diagnosis of “Forward Head Thrust”.

We know you eagerly await Spring tidings, but baby, it’s still cold outside! And we have just what you need to beat the cold and stay warm and cozy – Hot Cherry Pillows. We promise our pillows won’t weigh you down, unlike weighted blankets. If the first thing that comes to mind in the morning after getting out of bed is, “My feet and ankles hurt,” it is probably time to look for a substitute for your weighted blanket.

The popularity of weighted blankets has much to do with how they help stimulate sleep and provide comfort and warmth. However, the weight itself may be bad news if you pick a too-heavy blanket to sleep under. Good news – you can enjoy the warmth and coziness that a weighted blanket imparts without spending hours finding the right blanket for your body weight. Our Hot Cherry Pillows, filled with natural cherry pits, are lightweight, exude a sense of calmness, and help you get a good night’s sleep. They are like a weighted blanket, minus the weighing down your toes part!

Weighted Blanket – Is It All Boon?

Weighted blankets are helpful in improving sleep quality by providing warmth and comfort. It also helps reduce restlessness and anxiety – deep touch pressure releases happy hormones.

Now, let’s look at the other side of the coin.

Imagine returning home after a hectic day at work. All you want to do is spring into your bed and sleep like a baby. But falling asleep under a 10-12 pound blanket seems like a task in itself! If you have respiratory conditions like sleep apnea and asthma, weighted blankets are a big NO as they may aggravate the condition. These blankets are not recommended for babies and pose a risk of suffocation.

Hot Cherry Pillows – The Weighted Blanket Alternative You’ll LOVE

 

Filled with clean, dry, hollow tart cherry pits, Hot Cherry Pillows are a match made in heaven for your bed.

We make these therapeutic pillows in different sizes, from eye pillows and neck wraps to triple square pillows that act as body pillows. The cozy hug of a Hot Cherry Pillow will keep the cold outside and help you get a good night’s sleep. You can toss and turn in bed without a heavy blanket restricting your movements, and your toes and ankles won’t be hurting in the morning.

Heating the Hot Cherry Pillow is easy! Microwave it for 2-4 minutes, and your body pillow is ready for snuggling up. In addition to the benefits of the weight, the moist heat of Hot Cherry Pillows penetrates deep into sore muscles, relaxes constrictions, increases circulation, and promotes healing.

Hot Cherry Pillows that are perfect for everyone in your family, from your little ones to your grandparents, or weighted blankets that are not recommended for babies and people with respiratory conditions – the choice is yours.

What exactly is a Hot Cherry Pillow? It’s a pillow filled with clean, dried, sustainable cherry pits. These pits usually go to a landfill, but we upcycle them by cleaning them with only water and heat. Thus, making the Hot Cherry Pillow, which is superior to herbal or grain-filled pillows, because it is completely machine washable!

How to use a Hot Cherry Pillow?

The Hot Cherry Pillows are filled with 100% natural tart cherry pits that when warmed, deliver moist heat, alleviating aches and providing stress relief.

These therapeutic pillows are equally great as hot and cold packs. They are microwavable and can be stored in the freezer.

For moist, penetrating heat that provides soothing relief from everyday pains and aches, put the pillow in the microwave for 2-4 minutes. Unlike heating pads, you will not have to worry about burning yourself due to prolonged use, because the pillow gradually cools down. For using it as a cold pack, put it in the freezer for two hours. No need to deal with the burn of gel packs nor the wet messiness of frozen peas! Hot Cherry Pillows are so easy and safe to you, anyone can benefit from them.

The idea of applying heat to affected areas when you feel any pain or discomfort isn’t something new. In fact, heat therapy can be traced back thousands of years to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians who used the sun’s rays for the purpose. Today, heat therapy, as well as cold therapy are considered some of the most effective ways to alleviate muscle soreness, joint pain, and so on, and everyone, regardless of age or fitness level can benefit from them. And Hot Cherry Pillows is a perfect way to do that.

Filled with clean, dried cherry pits, Hot Cherry Pillows, when heated, deliver moist penetrating heat, which can be incredibly soothing on tight muscles or tummy aches.

Today, spas are beginning to discover the many amazing benefits of Hot Cherry Pillows in their treatment rooms as well as their boutiques and retail sections. When they use the pillows on their clients, the response is usually an invigorating “Aah! That feels so good! What is that wonderful weight and warmth?” Then the massage therapists have the opportunity to promote Hot Cherry Pillows.

There are many reasons why spas should use and promote Hot Cherry Pillows.

• Moist heat penetrates deeper into the tissues, offering more relief than dry heat.
• Moist heat relaxes tight, sore muscles.
• Moist heat improves circulation.
• Moist heat increases the efficacy of the massage treatment.

In spas, estheticians can sell multiple expensive skin care products, but massage therapists can't sell hot towels. They can, however, sell Hot Cherry Pillows.

Hot cherry pit-filled pillows act like weighted blankets, relaxing and releasing tight muscles, making the therapist's work easier. We offer them in a variety of fabrics and sizes, from eye pillows to body pillows. Choose from natural-dyed 100% cotton denim or our plush maraschino ultra-suede. That means that there’s a size and design that’s perfect for everybody.

Used on shoulders, lower back, along the length of the spine or legs, and wrapped around cold feet, our pillows are truly an asset to the massage practice, and having the client continue relaxing their muscles when they get home supports their work. Eye pillows can be used to relieve sinus congestion or block out light. You can use them hot, cold, or at room temperature.

Spas find that placing a warm neck wrap around the shoulders of a waiting customer relaxes them and helps them feel pampered even before the treatment begins. Plus, it gives them sufficient time to decide if they want to purchase it while they're still in the waiting room.

Even better than the benefits of using Hot Cherry Pillows in the spa is the ease of caring for them. The entire pillow is machine washable and dryable, follow instructions carefully. You can use it directly on the skin and then toss it in the laundry. You can also heat them in microwaves or hot towel warmers. They’re quite durable and with proper care, will providing you with years of service.  Spa directors are happy because there is little to no training involved, once the proper heating technique is learned, Hot Cherry Pillows will become your spa’s favorite tools, and your client’s favorite gifts.

In the heat of summer, most people enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, beach trips, and backyard barbecues. But the rising temperatures can prove to be a bane for those suffering from body pains. Whether it’s chronic or acute, weather sensitivity can worsen the symptoms of painful conditions like arthritis and headaches.

Using Hot Cherry Pillows for Pain Relief

Body pain can often have a debilitating effect on your quality of life, but the good news is that you can manage your pain with Hot Cherry Pillows. Whether you’re suffering from chronic pain, bad back, shoulder pain, or neck pain, Hot Cherry Pillows can provide you with some much-needed relief and restore comfort to everyday activities. Filled with 100% natural tart cherry pits, the moist penetrating heat they provide can also help alleviate knee and joint pain, sports injuries, as well as pain from old injuries. 

You can heat Hot Cherry Pillows in the microwave and place them on your aching body parts to increase circulation, which brings fresh oxygenated blood to the affected area, and promotes healing. They’re really great for relieving menstrual pain and providing pregnancy comfort. They can also be used by seniors, and gardeners with overworked muscles. If you need warmth in a chilly air-conditioned room, a heated Hot Cherry Pillow can be a welcomed relief, just to be able to relax and go to sleep.

During the summer months you may want to store your Hot Cherry Pillows in the freezer. That way you’ll always have a cold pack handy to reduce the swelling of little bumps and twists. When chilled, they’re great for relieving headaches too, whether caused by eye strain or being overheated. Placing a chilled Hot Cherry Neck Wrap around your neck can reduce body temperature in just a few minutes. 

They can also go directly from the freezer to the microwave, and when soiled, to the washing machine and the dryer! Washing restores the lovely tart cherry scent.

Few More Ways to Manage Body Pains During Summer

Apart from using the Hot Cherry Pillows, here are a few more things you can do for pain relief in the summers:

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water as dehydration can remove the necessary fluids from your body, thus aggravating cramps and pains.
• Avoid staying out in the heat for too long: Excessive sweating can also lead to dehydration and joint pain. So, make sure you avoid being in the heat for too long. If you have to go out, wear breathable clothes and use sun protection.
• Do not over-exercise: Do not overwhelm yourself physically by working out too much during the summer months.

If you want to enjoy the beautiful summer months and not be held back by your body pains, you should invest in Hot Cherry Pillows. They’re soft, plush pillows filled with clean and dried cherry pits that, when heated, deliver moist penetrating heat. They are available in a wide range of sizes, from body pillows to eye pillows. You can also choose from different fabrics, such as natural-dyed 100% cotton denim or our maraschino ultra-suede. What more could you ask for?

Tech neck seems almost inevitable nowadays. Between all the time we spend scrolling through social media and hunching over our laptops, our neck experiences severe distress. Fortunately, there are ways to soothe the pain. If you need momentary relief, there is nothing like cracking your neck or wrapping a heating pad around it. But for those looking for a more effective solution that offers long-term results, swapping out your regular pillow will do the trick.

Here’s what you should use instead: A cervical neck pillow.

Ask any chiropractor and they will tell you that using the right pillow is key if you want to alleviate your neck pain and sleep well.

Although the process of buying a pillow is quite simple, some people tend to overcomplicate it by considering multiple factors. Ideally, you should pick a pillow that keeps your neck in a neutral position, which helps restore its natural curve. If your pillow keeps your neck and spine from being in a neutral position, it can lead to soreness, cervical pain, stiffness, headaches, arm pain, and more, due to the constant tension on your cervical neck muscles.

The Hot Cherry Cervical Neck Pillow is designed to maintain the proper alignment of your cervical spine. When you sleep on your back, the center of your head is lined up perfectly with the center of your pelvis and sternum.

If you suffer from tech neck or any other type of neck pain, it is recommended that you avoid sleeping on your stomach as it strains your neck, upper back as well as the head. Sleep on your back or on either side for effective results.

What Is a Cervical Neck Pillow?

In simple terms, a cervical pillow is designed to support your neck and keep your cervical spine aligned. Specially shaped to keep your neck and head at the proper angles, it helps you sleep more comfortably at night. Without a cervical pillow, your sleep at night could be a source of neck and back pain during the day.

How To Use a Cervical Neck Pillow?

Although a cervical neck pillow is meant to be used for cervical support, it also has various other uses. Here are a few ways in which you can use it:
Lumbar support: When placed against your back, our cervical neck pillow can keep your ears, shoulders, and hips in alignment and maintain the natural curvature of your spine.
Soothe tummy cramps: You can warm up the pillow in the microwave and use it as a heating pad to soothe tummy cramps.
On your chest: You can use the pillow for warmth on your chest.

Available in Two Different Fabrics

The Hot Cherry Rectangular/Cervical Neck Pillow is available in red and tan ultra-suede. It now comes in a box, with a window so that you can feel the fabric before you buy. This feature is also very useful for retailers selling Hot Cherry Pillows.
Now, it is also available in unbleached, pre-washed natural denim, including..."drum roll"... two different pillowcases! They include the ever-popular "cherry print case" and the new, polished cotton "cherry blossom case!"
