Our innovative Warm Whiskers Body Pillows combine traditional, plush designs with our special blend of buckwheat and lavender to create the ultimate heatable and freezable plush animals.
 
A comforting gift for one and all, the Body Pillow will bring you back to your childhood when you could snuggle up with your favorite stuffed animal, but this time, it gives back more than just love.
 
Designed as neck rolls and multi-functional pillows, our Body Pillow products are a favorite amongst children, yet designed with adults in mind. Adorable and cuddly, the warmth and comfort these animals provide also make the buckwheat pillows our best sleep aids.
 
They are particularly effective in targeting joints, cramps, and strains. The heat retention of our Body Pillows varies depending on size (from 10 inches – 24 inches long).
 
After placing them in the microwave for 1 and a half minutes to 2 minutes, heat remains for approximately 1 and a half to 2 hours. 
 
Our Polar Bear Buddy, Buddy Black Bear, Haley Pig, Sleepy Pete Lamb, and Cat Hot Water Bottle have removable skins for cleaning purposes. The other Body Pillows may be surface cleaned.
 
Everyone loves an incomparably unique gift, especially when it’s a Warm Whiskers present, expertly designed to please both body and soul.
 
From Laraby Lab to Haley Pig, the Warm Whiskers Body Pillow is a sure-fire hit gift for woman, man or child!
 
Our Body Pillows are great for all occasions and guaranteed to please all. Order pillows for loved ones, but don’t forget to treat yourself!
 
And why not soothe your tired feet with a pair of our equally therapeutic and cute slippers too? Keep a few extra Warm Whiskers on hand, and you’ll never be without the perfect last minute gift!

Heat therapy is the application of heat to the body for pain relief and health. It can take the form of a hot cloth, hot water, ultrasound, heating pad, and many others. It can be beneficial to those with arthritis and stiff muscles and tissue.

Many episodes of pain come from muscle exertion or strain, which creates tension in the muscles and soft tissues. This tension can constrict circulation, sending pain signals to the brain. Heat application eases pain by:

• dilating the blood vessels surrounding the painful area. Increased blood flow provides additional oxygen and nutrients to help heal the damaged muscle tissue.

• stimulating sensation in the skin and therefore decreasing the pain signals being transmitted to the brain

• increasing the flexibility (and decreasing painful stiffness) of soft tissues surrounding the injured area, including muscles and connective tissue.

As many heating pads are portable, heat may be applied as needed at home, at work, or while traveling. Some physicians recommend alternating heat and ice for pain relief.

As with any pain treatment, a physician should be consulted prior to beginning treatment.
