Welcome to your new best friend!  Wheatbags are so handy to have around the house and at work. They are perfect for easing sore muscles and for keeping warm.

How to use

Heat in the microwave

Simply pop your heat pack in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. Make sure the pack is as spread out and flat as possible to get even heat distributed through it. It’s really important to make sure your turntable inside the microwave actually turns. If it doesn’t, do not use, as this will cause uneven heating and may product hot spots that can burn.

Test after 2 minutes

After 2 minutes test your wheat bag and see if it’s warm enough. Keep in mind that the bag may not feel hot when it first comes out but it will get warmer as the heat spreads through the wheat. If after 30 seconds you think it needs a bit longer pop it back in the mircowave for another 30 seconds.

Try a cold pack in the freezer

You can use your wheatbags as a heat pack but it also makes a great cold pack. Simply store it in the freezer and use it when you need a quick cool down and for helping with sprains and strains.

Can I wash the wheatbags, eyepillows or eyemasks?

The wheatbags and eyepillows have wheat inside them so don’t get them wet. You can use a damp cloth to sponge out any stains and make sure they are dry before you put them away.

You can wash your eyemask but only using cold water and gently hand wash so the shape doesn’t get squished out of shape.

Can I heat the eyepillows?

Yes, you can use the eyepillows as mini wheatbags. Place in the microwave for 30-60secs. Don’t place any hot eyepillows directly over the eyes.

What if I don’t have a microwave?

We don’t recommend using an oven as it’s not as safe as a microwave. If you accidently leave it in there unattended there’s a chance it could smolder or catch on fire.

Safety stuff to remember

We know you’re going to love your wheat bag but please be careful and follow our safety suggestions:

• Don’t over heat your wheat bag. It’s designed for a gently soothing warmth not scorching heat so don’t be tempted to put it in for longer than 2-3 minutes.
• It’s not advisable to wrap your wheat bag in another cloth as this can add to the chances of your bag getting too hot.
• Always check the temperature before placing the heat pack on your skin.
• Do not use your bag if there is an overbooked or burnt smell. This is an indication the wheat is too dry and if this is the case then it’s time for a new wheat bag.

Environmentally friendly

We use natural cotton and water based inks to reduce our impact on the environment as well as your body. Cotton is perfect for heat packs as its long lasting and doesn’t sweat like corduroy can. Read more about our efforts to reduce our environmental impact here.
