5 Ways to Use Your Pillowy Microbead Pillow
A good pillow should not sit in one spot all day. A Pillowy microbead pillow is made to move around with you, and many people find it fits more of their routine than they first expected. Here are five easy ways to put yours to work.
What makes a microbead pillow different
Most pillows are stuffed with loose fiber. A Pillowy pillow is filled with thousands of fine microbeads. They shift as you settle in, then hold the shape you gave them. Squeeze it into a roll, press it flat, or push it into a corner, and it stays put instead of slowly flattening out.
The cover matters too. The Premium Microbead Pillow has a smooth, silk-like cover that feels cool against your skin and zips off for washing. The pillow comes in Small, Medium, Large and X-Large, so you can match the size to the job.
Around the house
1. Use it as a lumbar cushion
If you sit at a desk or on the couch for long stretches, place the pillow in the curve of your lower back. The beads move with you, so the cushion settles into the shape you give it. Many people like that it adds a soft layer of support without feeling stiff.
Try small changes. Slide it a little higher or lower, then give it a squeeze to reshape it. Finding the spot that feels right takes about a minute.
2. Tuck it under your neck
A neck pillow does not have to be big and bulky. Fold or roll your Pillowy so it sits under the back of your neck while you read, watch a show or rest in a chair. Because the fill holds its shape, it stays where you put it while you relax.
If you like a true roll shape, the microbead bolster neck roll is made for it. It measures 14 by 8 by 8 inches, has a silky feel, and also works behind your back or under your knees.
3. Style it as home decor
Comfort can look good too. Set a Pillowy on a sofa, a reading chair or the foot of your bed, and it doubles as a cozy accent you can grab when you need it. Since the shape is easy to change, you can plump it up so it looks neat when nobody is using it.
4. Keep it close for better posture while you sit
Keep one near the places you sit the most, such as your desk chair, your favorite armchair or the passenger seat. Placed behind your lower back or under an arm, many people find it helps them sit more upright and feel more settled in their position.
A pillow is not a substitute for moving around. Stand up, stretch and change position often. If you have an ongoing concern about your back or neck, talk with your own doctor about what is right for you.
On the go
5. Pack it for travel
Long flights, car rides and train trips are easier when you bring your own comfort. The Small size is compact enough to fit in a carry-on or sit on a car seat. When you arrive, a quick squeeze puts it back in shape.
- Pack it near the top of your bag so it is within reach.
- Reshape it by hand once you sit down.
- Move it from behind your neck to behind your back as your position changes.
Back at home, care is simple. Spot clean the microbead core, then machine wash the removable cover on gentle and let it air dry. The fill keeps its structure wash after wash of the cover.
Find the Pillowy that fits your day
Start with the place you spend the most time. If that is a desk, think lumbar cushion. If it is a reading chair, think neck roll. If you are always on the road, the Small is the easy pick.
The fun of a microbead pillow is how flexible it is. One pillow can be a back cushion in the morning, a neck rest in the afternoon and a travel buddy on the weekend. Try each idea for a few days and see which one sticks.
When you are ready, browse the Pillowy collection and pick the size and shape that match how you like to relax.
