When you need an ice pack quick, go to the freezer and pull out a Cherry Ice pillow. It’s way cooler than frozen peas because it never gets wet or soggy, and it molds around joints and other body parts. Bringing coolness without the burn of ice, it helps to reduce swelling. Rest a chilled eye pillow on tired eyes, for headaches or fever. If you suffer from hot flashes or just a heat wave, try a chilled cherry pit neck wrap around your neck to relax with cool relief. Cherry Ice is a great way to lower your body temperature fast!

Physical therapists and chiropractors agree that Cherry Ice, though not as cold as gel packs, have enough coldness to help reduce swelling without the discomfort of burning ice. When you experience a sports injury or a pulled muscle from working in the garden, rely on the gentle relief of our Cherry Ice sports injury pillows to counteract inflammation. Kids injuries respond well to subtle icing. When chronic injuries surface again and you need to alternate cold and hot applications, then you can count on Cherry Ice pillows to be microwaved as well as chilled.

The same great Michigan Montmorency cherry pits are inside Cherry Ice® as in all our Hot Cherry therapeutic pillows. Use them cold when needed, or warm them for therapeutic moist heat. Either way, relief is sweet.  Cherry Ice comes in three different sizes: 10” square, an eye pillow, and a lightweight neck wrap. The fabric is 100% cotton denim, dyed with a natural blue-indigo dye. Each pillow comes with its own reusable plastic, zip-close freezer bag to keep your pillow clean when it’s in the freezer next to drippy ice cream containers.

Store a couple in the freezer so you always have a cold pack ready for life’s little bumps and twists. It can go from the freezer to the microwave, no problem, and like all our cherry pillows they're completely machine washable.

Hot Cherry supports Hospice for all the loving care and good works that they do, by donating Hot Cherry pillows to Hospice care facilities in the US and Canada.
 
A little red denim square pillow can be a great comfort for those who are weak and bedridden. Because they don’t move around much, their circulation is poor and they tend to get cold easily. Warm cherry pillows give them much needed warmth and stimulate circulation; bringing oxygen and blood flow to extremities. A cherry pit cushion is much safer than a heating pad because it gradually cools down, and it is cordless, making it far easier to use. Our pillows not only warm the body, but they  can also help with chest and sinus congestion, tummy aches and sore necks. Moist heat is often recommended for arthritis pain, neuropathy due to diabetes, and for the pain of muscle and joint soreness.

Every year we work with various hospice care facilities by having a February fundraiser opportunity. We offer 25% of our sales when their supporters buy Hot Cherry Pillows for themselves or for the caregivers.

Be a supporter, and buy a heart shaped pillow and send it to your favorite caregiver or hospice patient.

From newborns to teens, kids of all ages love Hot Cherry pillows. There’s something about the crunchiness, the weight and the huggability of a Hot Cherry pillow that simply relaxes kids into another space.

If you’ve ever put a sleeping baby down on a cold crib sheet only to have him or her wake up, it’s because that cold crib is nothing like your warm body. However, if you warm the sheets before with a Hot Cherry pillow, then move it aside and cuddle their little body with it, then baby thinks, “hum, nice warm body next to me”. And unlike heating pads, the Hot Cherry pillow gradually cools down, making them safe to leave in the crib. It’s a small body pillow for baby.

Sadly, I’ve had a personal experience with hospital-applied baby heal warmers filled with chemical gels that actually burned a baby’s feet. That will never happen with Hot Cherry pillow for baby. That’s why warming baby’s feet or anyone’s feet for that matter is safely and quickly done with a warm Hot Cherry pillow.

Active kids are rarely willing to jump into bed at bedtime. It can often be a struggle to get them to go to sleep. But your new secret weapon can be a Hot Cherry. Place one in kids’ beds to warm their feet, or let them cuddle a warm Hot Cherry pillow as you tell a bedtime story. The penetrating warmth relaxes their tired little bodies and helps them calm down from the days' activities. The weight on a kid’s chest settles them. Hot Cherry pillows can be a good babysitter, while you prepare other kids or things during the bedtime routine.

My little granddaughter runs hot, so she likes to cuddle a cold pillow. That’s a very different approach to relaxing at bedtime than I’m used to, but everybody is different. It’s nice to know that Hot Cherry pillows can be relaxing whether they’re hot or cold. And if one of the kiddos has a fever and chills, a cold Hot Cherry eye pillow on the forehead and a warm square on the chest, can really help them feel better fast.

Keep a couple of Hot Cherry pillows in the freezer for life’s little bumps and booboos. So if your child twists an ankle or bangs a knee, quickly apply a chilled sports injury pillow to prevent the swelling. Cherry Ice won’t have the burn of gel ice packs nor the wet messiness of frozen peas, yet they easily mold around joints. Wrap a towel around the pillow to insulate it and elevate the foot. It is always good to have a couple of Cherry Ice pillows in the freezer for emergencies.

Young athletes, dancers and explorers often use their muscles to the max. Relaxing with Hot Cherry pillows will calm overused muscles with warmth or chilled pillows can prevent swelling. A chilled pillow can go directly into the microwave if you need to alternate hot with cold, no problem.

Teen and tween girls are often bothered by painful monthly cramps and lower back pain. Ease their time with Hot Cherry pillows on the tummy and lower back. The penetrating heat of the cherry pit cushion relaxes muscle spasms, increases circulation, and takes the edge off her pain. A warm Hot Cherry pillow can provide a good deal of comfort and a time for her to cuddle up and nurture herself.

When kids are away at camp, boarding school or college, homesickness can come on them especially at bedtime. Be sure to pack them a couple of Hot Cherry pillows to keep them company and remind them of the warmth of home.

No matter what age, Hot Cherry pillows are one of the best problem-solvers for kids and babies. Anytime there is a problem, physical or emotional, Hot Cherry pillows are ready in a couple of minutes to calm muscles and moods. Be sure to have at least one for every “kiddo” in your household.

For holiday or birthday gifts, when you just don’t know what to give the kid that has everything, the tween that’s so hard to find something they might like, give them a Hot Cherry pillow of their own. You may be surprised at how well-loved their Hot Cherry pillow will be. Give the gift of warmth and love. They’ll always remember who gave it to them.

Do you know what a Cherry Pit Pillow is? 

It’s a pillow filled with clean, dried cherry pits. When heated they deliver moist penetrating heat. Place them on tight muscles, tummy aches or just to warm beds.

Just about everybody has heard about microwavable pain relievers like buckwheat pillows, or socks filled with rice, corn, flax or other herbal pillows. However, few people in America have heard about cherry pillows. They are, in fact, a Swiss tradition. Foundry workers of ole used heated cherry pit sacks to ease their sore muscles after long days at hard physical work.

I have a friend who was raised in Switzerland, and she remembers her grandmother having a little door on the side of her wood-burning stove where she warmed sacks filled with cherry pits. Every night after dinner her grandmother would place the pit sacks in their beds. Covered with down comforters, those cherry pit sacks kept the family warm all snowy-night long.

The trend soon spread to Germany, where they have their own term for a cherry pit pillow, Kirschkernkissen. I purchased my first cherry pit pack in London. So it’s safe to say that in much of the colder European countries, cherry pit filled pillows are well known and loved.

Often I’m asked, “Who eats all those cherries to get those pits?” I’m proud to answer that our source of cherry pits are 100% from the most precious and favored Montmorency tart cherries. Every July when cherries come in season, the Montmorency cherries are pitted and juiced, as a nutritional supplement, that aids arthritis and sleep, because they contain high levels of antioxidants and melatonin. Instead of going to a landfill, those pits become part of a sustainable product, that are used in spa massage, chiropractic care and home health.

Moreover, our pits are cleaned and dried with a patented process that uses only water and heat, no chemicals. I once ordered a cherry pit pillow from China and was shocked at the horrible chemical smell that almost ruined the microwave. You can be sure that our pits will never mold, smell subtly like cherry pie, are entirely machine washable, and will last for years. In fact, they get better with age as they get “broken-in”.

Now you know what a cherry pit pillow is, here’s what makes Hot Cherry® pillows the best. 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 your body. We hope that you will relax and enjoy Hot Cherry pillows, warmed or chilled. We love that we make pillows that help people feel better.

Labor Day is here for everyone, and just around the corner for some moms-to-be. Make sure that your favorite expecting mom is comfortable with an assortment of Hot Cherry pillows. Hot Cherry pillows make excellent baby shower gifts, and several sizes will give the new mom various ways to relax and sleep comfortably.

Being pregnant puts stress on the lower back and hip muscles. With the pull of the added baby weigh, the muscles in the lower back and hips are challenged and stretched to their limits. Relax those back muscles with a Double Square Hot Cherry pillow that eases the strain of overworked back muscles and allows them to relax. Penetrating moist heat increases circulation and brings fresh oxygen and blood flow to these areas. This takes the edge off the pain by releasing muscle spasms, and helps mom get some much-needed rest. With a warm Hot Cherry Neck Wrap around her neck and a Hot Cherry Triple Square at her back, the mommy-to-be can now take it easy and relax. Relax pregnancy mom pillow.

When nighttime comes, it’s important for the pregnant mom to get deep sleep. Warm the bed sheets with a Hot Cherry pillow, then move the pillow to wherever support is needed. Put a Hot Cherry pillow along the spine, between knees or hips.  The penetrating moist heat releases the stress on overextended muscles, increasing circulation and relaxation. The wonderful aromatic heat therapy can relieve aches and pains, and help mother drift off to sleep. We say Hot Cherry pillows are “Best in Bed” because insulated under a down comforter they can stay warm all night. Hot Cherry pillows promote relaxation and sleep. Hot, warm, cold or room temperature, Hot Cherry pillows can be used in various places on the body to help mom get comfortable in bed.

Remember, if the body craves cool, a chilled Hot Cherry pillow can lower body temperature and make the “hottest momma” cool and relaxed. Keep some Hot Cherry pillows in the freezer so they’re chilled and ready when needed.

Always consult your healthcare provider before using Hot Cherry pillows during pregnancy. Heating directly on the baby bump may not be advised, in some situations.

Hot Cherry pillows are used by midwives as heat compresses during birthing. The moist heat of the small Eye Pillows relaxes the muscles around the outside of the birth canal. And according to the midwives who use them, one of the best features is that they’re washable and reusable.

And after giving birth, Hot Cherry pillows are still very useful. Moist heat compresses are often recommended to encourage mother’s milk to flow. Hot Cherry pillows are easy to use, no wet dripping towels, just a couple of minutes in the microwave and a Hot Cherry moist heat compress will gently help to “bring in the milk.”

As support under arms while nursing, or for warming the baby’s crib or feet, Hot Cherry pillows will become family favorites right from the beginning. So, when wondering what you can give a Mom-to-be, remember the comfort and usefulness of Hot Cherry pillows!

One thing I just love about Hot Cherry pillows is that they’re completely washable. Unlike rice, corn, buckwheat or other herbal pillows–– if they get wet, they could potentially grow mold––Hot Cherry pit pillows will never mold. The woody pits inside can be thoroughly washed and dried in household machines.

If you’ve been using your pillows regularly, after a while they loose that lovely fresh cherry pastry smell. You should know that every time you use a microwave to warm your Hot Cherry pillow it is sterilized, so it may not need a washing for a long time.

But after many nights of warming feet, or even if you share your pillow with your favorite furry friend, eventually your Hot Cherry pillows will need to be washed.

One thing you must make sure of before you wash it is that there are no burn or scorch holes in your pillows. This can happen if your microwave turntable is not functioning as it should by making full rotations (see previous blog entry, Best Use of a Microwave, Ever). Even a little scorched spot will weaken the fabric and when it gets washed, could create a hole for the pits to escape. We absolutely don’t want you to open your washer or dryer and discover there are little pits everywhere. When you have determined that your pillow is in tact, inspected the seams and the surfaces, then you’re ready to put it in the washer.

You might want to wash the red ultra suede pillows among dark clothes, just in case that red dye might have some bleed. We have made an effort to obtain the best quality fabric, but at extremely high temperatures, we have found some bleeding. (Red dyes are notoriously unstable.) Please use cold water to wash, and choose the gentle or delicate cycle. Our natural-dyed denim is thoroughly washed after dying, so there’s no problem there.

If it’s a small blue or red denim square pillow in a large load, your pillow will clean nicely among clothing or linens. If you have several large pillows, like I recently did, then care must be taken to lay the pillows around the bottom of the washing machine in order to distribute the weight evenly. Then set it to cold water and delicate cycle. If you have a front-loading machine, nothing special is needed.

I have found that you can easily dry them flat, on top of the dryer. Turn them over after a while and soon they’re good to go. Be sure not to put them away in a cabinet when they’restill wet. You may place them in the sun or hang them on the line.

For drying in a dryer, again inspect your pillows to make sure all is strong, then toss them in with some big towels to protect them and lesson the fall. We use a couple of our big terry cloth bathrobes, for helping to dry our pillows. You might hear some unusual banging as the pillows hit the dryer sides, but don’t worry I’ve dried hundreds of them and they will be fine. It only takes a few minutes, so check frequently. When they’re dry, they smell fresh and sweet again.

A note on “breaking” in your pillows: after washing and drying and even just after lots of use, you will find that the crunchiness of the new pillow’s contents has changed. After a while of tumbling against each other, the pits tend to round off their edges, and become round little balls. That’s when the pillows are “broken in” and the whole pillow experience is softer and rounder. They seem to roll around and mold easier around joints and muscles. We love them when they’re old and “broken in”!

We sincerely hope that all of our customers enjoy their Hot Cherry pillows as much as our family does. We love our Hot Cherry pillows! And, we’d love to hear from you, especially if you have found some unusual uses for your Hot Cherry pillows. Photos and a little description just might make headlines in upcoming blogs!

Many of our “Hot Cherry Lovers” have reported to us some very unusual ways that they use our pillows. Most people benefit from using them to stay warm in bed, to relieve muscle pain, and others like to use them cold, to relieve fever, headaches, and inflammation.

I thought you might like to hear of a few very unusual ways that Hot Cherry pillows are being used by our customers.

Perhaps you’ve read one of our reviews about the young mother with two screaming little boys that got into an argument and were inconsolable. She put a warm Hot Cherry pillow on her feet and he immediately stopped screaming and became unusually polite. “Thank you, Mommy”. The other boy asked for one too, and the fit was over. So calming kids drama and trauma with Hot Cherry pillows became a new Mommy’s little helper.

We received a photo from a mom whose toddler had cold feet and they came up with an ingenious way to attach eye pillows to her little one’s feet. Cute as a button, and they warmed up those tootsies fast!

One of our customers reports that she uses her Triple Square pillow as a tub backrest. Because our Hot Cherry pillows are completely washable, they can be used in the bathtub! “The cast iron tub is always so cold that I hate to lean back on it.” So while the tub is filling, she heats up a Hot Cherry pillow and lays it on the sloping back of the tub. Now leaning back is warm and the pits move into a shape that cradles her back in the warmth. That’s pretty ingenious, don’t you think?

But the most unusual use that we’ve heard of is using Hot Cherry pillows as flotation pillows in a swimming pool during Watsu treatments. If you’re not familiar with this type of healing modality, Watsu is a combination of water and massage (water-shiatsu) in98-degree water. Relaxing in a floating position with a Double Square Hot Cherry pillow under your head gives you just enough support to feel confident about relaxing and floating.

Most everyone knows we have sports injury pillows for sale. However, tying one around an aching rotator cuff was a new one for us. We got a photo from a customer showing how she used the ribbon from the packaging to secure the moist heat pillow to her upper arm. We love how creative our customers can be.

It was in a swimming pool that we realized that Hot Cherry pillows actually float! Perhaps because the pits are hollow, and the ultra suede fabric is so tightly woven, that Hot Cherry pillows have become an unofficial floatation device. Not that we recommend them to be used this way, in fact, we do not. (Our insurance company would surely object.) It is in fact, the most unusual use we’d come across.

If you have discovered an unusual use of Hot Cherry pillows that you’d like to share with us, we’d love to hear from you. But remember, any other way than the recommended use and care that is written in our instructions, is done at your own risk. Be safe and take caution, and enjoy your Hot Cherry pillows your favorite way, everyday.

If you want to really warm the heart of your lover, you’ll give at least one Hot Cherry pillow for Valentine’s Day. They’re not just for the heart or tummy, how about those cold feet? If you run on the hot side, then chill your Hot Cherry pillows in the freezer, and enjoy a cool-down wherever you are. We can solve these problems and many more with our pillows that help everybody feel better.

Hot Cherry pillows for Valentine lovers are the best-kept secret under the covers!

 

And Hot Cherry pillows are not only for your lover, what about your mother, daughter or another? Show them all that you really care, by warming their hearts in an unusual way. They will surely remember you while they’re cuddling up to the warmth and coziness of Hot Cherry pillows, the Best Valentine’s Gift ever!

 

Whether your pain is acute, as in it just happened, or chronic because it’s been aching a long time, Hot Cherry pillows can soothe and relieve your pain in a matter of minutes. There’s a Hot Cherry pillow size that’s perfect for every part of the body, and we have six sizes to choose from.

Everyone knows that moist heat is good for sinus pain. Just heat up a Hot Cherry Eye Pillow and place it across eyes and the bridge of the nose, and the moist penetrating heat opens blocked passages and relieves the pain caused by this constriction. That same moist heat is known to relieve headaches and TMJ pain. And if your headache or fever is relieved with a cold compress, then get out that Hot Cherry eye pillow that you’ve kept in the freezer for immediate cooling relief.

Neck pain is probably the most common pain in modern times. Sleeping on a thick pillow, or tilting the head forward while reading, working on the computer, or texting, straightens out the natural curve of the cervical spine. Our new, chiropractor recommended, Cervical Neck Pillow is designed especially to address this common problem. Use it in bed, or when traveling, to begin the process of restoring the natural “banana curve” of the cervical neck. We have a video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U_N1dYTDVg that explains the “why and how” to use our cervical neck pillow while you sleep on your back. If you have chronic neck pain, try this specially designed pillow hot, cold or room temperature.

If your neck pain is a result of sitting with your shoulders hunched, you might try our small Neck Wrap. With two pounds of cherry pits soothing your shoulders, you will naturally relax them; letting them drop down to ease the tension. The weight helps you focus on your posture, and the warmth of penetrating moist heat relaxes tense muscles, relieving tightness between the neck and back. We go to the trouble of sewing the pits into three sections, so not all the pits gather at one end, but provide warm heat treatment at the back of the neck as well as the sides. Try our cherry pit neck wrap, one of our most popular products.

Lower back pain can be debilitating. Whether you’re standing over a worktable or working in the garden, overused muscles scream for relief. That’s when our Double Square pillow is perfect for relaxing sore, tight muscles due to strain and tension of everyday use. Just heat up a big double square pillow and lean back and relax. The moist penetrating heat relieves the tightness and brings instant “Ahhs”.

Hot Cherry pillows will keep delivering heat for a good twenty minutes or more. Then it’s good to get up, move around, and while you’re reheating your Hot Cherry, do a little stretching, then relax with your Hot Cherry some more. This routine is also great for any use of Hot Cherry pillows, because moist heat and movement are recommended for most kinds of pain, especially arthritis pain!

Women and girls who suffer from the monthly pain of menstruation, will find that the Hot Cherry Square pillow is the best little friend you can have. It fits perfectly in small microwaves, like they have in dorm rooms, and heats up quickly to relieve cramps by sending penetrating moist heat to relax muscles, and increase circulation and blood flow to tummy and back. With a Square pillow on the abdomen and a Double Square on the back, relief is sweet.

When sleeping with leg or foot pain, caused by either poor circulation or diagnosed as neuropathy, Hot Cherry pillows can be a godsend. Our Triple Square body pillow is perfect for placing under one or both legs. The 28” in length delivers that moist heat that increases circulation and eases aches and pains. Hot Cherry pillows can solve the problem of neuropathy pain by surrounding cold numb feet, increasing circulation thus relieving the pain, and allowing the neuropathy sufferer to get a good nights sleep.

And perhaps the worse pain of all is the pain in the heart from the loss of a loved one. The empty side of the bed is an awful reminder of the once present partner. Hot Cherry body pillows, Double or Triple can help warm and comfort, at a time when the heart yearns for something to hug. A Hot Cherry heart shaped pillow can be a wonder condolence gift.

Don’t just take our word for the relief and comfort that Hot Cherry pillows can provide. Read what our customers have said about how our pillows have relieved their aches and pains: 

Square                                                                                                                                             "I used the “Hot Cherry” pit pillow on my chest when I had an asthma attack. The moist penetrating heat comforted me and when I woke the next day, I had none of the symptoms I usually have after an attack. The tightness and soreness that usually keeps me in bed a couple extra hours the morning after an asthma attack seemed to be gone, and I was able to go about my normal day."                                                                                                                     Hannah, Asthma Sufferer

Double Square

“Last week I tweaked my back badly. 
I visited my chiropractor; soaked in the hot tub; used far-infrared heat in the sauna; applied creams; took pills & potions. I even had my sweetheart rub my back - but it was the moist heat of a Hot Cherry Therapeutic pillow on my lower back that provided the relief I craved! It eased the pain while giving comfort and healing. Amazing! True story - thanks Hot Cherry!”

"My husband is a diabetic, and as a result of the disease, would often experience neuropathy of his big toe during the night which was extremely painful and would keep him from being able to sleep. We have discovered that by using a Hot Cherry therapeutic pillow which is warmed slightly in a microwave and placed down by his feet, he no longer experiences sleepless, painful nights."               Harriet K. RN

Cervical Neck Pillow

“This cherry pillow is the best solution to aiding a healing reverse curve in my neck. I religiously go to the chiropractor and use a Demerol. The cherry pillow smells wonderful and the moist heat is so therapeutic! The shape and the flexible nature of the cherry pits fits beautifully in the exact spot I need support. Most traditional pillows are just too thick and don't offer the support I need. This is great! I will use it again & again!”

JD Amazon customer

I resisted even getting a microwave for many years until my teenaged son insisted that he would absolutely die without frozen burritos for an after-school snack. We all know that cooking food in a microwave destroys food nutritional value. The super high temperature that heats by sending microwaves into food, and kills bacteria in sponges in 20 seconds, can’t possibly be good for you.

But hold on. One of my first assistants in the business happened to be the granddaughter of the man who invented microwaves for the space industry. I took another look at the heating potential of the microwave and decided to swallow my pride and embrace the microwave for what it is, a tool to provide heat.

Whether you use your microwave for heating frozen burritos for starving teens, or just to clean sponges, it’s a fact that 90% of households have microwave ovens in their kitchens.

I started this business because I have cold feet. When my feet are cold, I can’t relax, and if I can’t relax, I can’t go to sleep. It’s that simple. So when I discovered a cherry pit pillow from England, I fell in love with the soothing comfort and instant heat that the cherry pitsprovide, when heated in a microwave oven for just a couple of minutes.

And yes, you can use other methods for warming them. Tradition has it that the Swiss foundry workers first used a cherry pit cushion to relieve their painful muscles. A friend of mine who grew up in Switzerland recalls her grandmother having a door on the side of her wood-burning stove where she kept sacks of cherry pits. After dinner, she would place them in the beds, under down comforters to keep the family warm on cold Swiss nights.

Cherry pit pillows have been known to be heated on hearths, radiators and the tops of wood-burning stoves, but we don’t advise that unless you’re willing to experiment at your own risk––or at the risk of scorching and burning the pillows.

However, if you’re a die-hard “will not buy a microwave” kind of person, we have come up with a safe plan to warm them in a conventional oven. It’s easy: preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place your Hot Cherry pillow in a glass baking dish. Open oven, position baking dish on the center rack, close door and turn off oven. You would never want to have the cloth pillow in an oven with an open flame, or electric element. While the oven is cooling down, the cherry pit pillow is heating up, approximately 10-15 minutes. You may have to experiment with the time and temperature because ovens have different insulation. So, you can heat Hot Cherry pillows in your conventional oven.

Some Hot Cherry customers who don’t want a microwave in their kitchen where they might be tempted to use them for food preparation, have their microwave ovens in the laundry room. Now, that’s a fresh idea!

If you’re considering buying a microwave, look into the flatbed type. (Email us if this interests you, we have a great source.) They have no turntable and the microwaves come from rotating beams below the surface. They were popular when microwaves first came out, then the style disappeared replaced by the rotating carousel. But for our purposes of only using the microwave for heating Hot Cherry pillows, the flatbed is the best. You don’t need to be careful about where you place the pillow. We do recommend the Amana RMS10DS Stainless Steel Commercial Microwave, a very simple version, just perfect for warming Hot Cherry pillows.

With regular turntable/carousel type microwave ovens, you must be sure that the pillow is in the center of the microwave. If they extend over the turntable, then the pillow could brush up against the wall and stop the rotation. Or it could cause the turntable to slip to the side. In either case, this prevents the turntable from rotating and the microwaves beam down on the same spot over and over. This can cause a burn hole in the fabric, or worse yet, a fire in the microwave! So please be careful when heating Hot Cherry pillows in microwave ovens with turntables.

Follow our instructions, adjust when needed, and enjoy the instant relaxation of the moist penetrating heat of Hot Cherry therapeutic pillows. It’s the best use of a microwave oven, ever!
