Product Review

This 16 inch neck or back pillow is made from Indonesian Batik with a hand painted butterfly of yellows and greens on a reddish background. Filled with organic buckwheat hulls and 4 ounces of lavender buds, it weighs just under 2 pounds and measures 16 inches long by 6 inches high and 4 inches deep. This hand-made high quality support pillow may slightly vary in size. Those with allergies to feathers or other synthetics will appreciate buckwheat's hypo-allergenic properties. Unlike other pillow fillings, buckwheat hulls do not compress under pressure. This allows the pillow to mold to the contours of your body. The buckwheat hulls are 100% organic, natural and eco-friendly. To reinvigorate the pillow's scent, pinch or knead the pillow. You may feel the lavender buds open and release fresh scent. These one-of-a-kind Batiks are produced on the island of Java in Indonesia by skilled dye masters. Each yard of these sumptuous fabrics is unique. The fabric is hand-stamped and then hand-painted multiple times, with many different pairs of hands working on every yard. Most of the work is done outside, so the weather greatly influences the results. Due to this specialized hand-process, there is a consistency to color and pattern, while maintaining subtle color variations that are so important to this traditional technique. Natural spinal and lumbar support.
