Ereada Pillows
All Ereada® pillows are designed specifically for use with our FIR mats. Some models are firmer and best for short relaxation sessions before sleep, while softer models are designed for comfortable sleeping.
All Ereada® pillows are unpowered and non-electric. We do not heat the head, and we do not manufacture heating pillows.
Each pillow consists of two main parts:
- A supportive insert made from heat-resistant firm foam, providing stable cervical (neck) support.
- A removable pillow cover filled with natural tumbled gemstones — primarily amethyst, with some models featuring additional gemstones. The gemstones create the upper layer across the entire pillow and gently release far-infrared rays and negative ions when warmed by body heat.
The gemstones can help balance temperature by absorbing excess warmth and slowly returning it where needed. Even without the mat, the pillow uses your own body warmth to gently release FIR energy from the crystals.
Because the crystals respond naturally to warmth and light pressure, they may also create a soothing warming/cooling effect depending on the environment.
Pillows are particularly helpful when used together with a FIR mat. They provide proper head and neck elevation during sessions, reduce direct exposure of the head to heat, and create some distance between your head and the electrical connector of the mat.
We also developed a special fitted white multilayer protective pillow cover with sweat-absorption fabric and a breathable waterproof TPU membrane. Most pillow sets include this cover at no additional cost, but occasionally a pillow may ship without it. If it is missing, you may temporarily cushion the pillow with cotton towels or extra pillowcases. When new covers are back in stock, you can purchase one — and in some cases we may provide one free of charge.
If your pillow arrives with the white protective cover already installed, simply unzip and remove it to reveal the gemstone pillow cover underneath.
At first, a protective layer is helpful while your head gets used to the gentle pressure of the gemstones. Later, once you feel comfortable, you can reduce the padding if you prefer.
HARD PILLOWS
Hard pillows are firm and designed mainly for structured cervical support, not general relaxation or sleeping (although some customers do choose to sleep on them).
They are available in:
- D-shape (half-roll / mini pillow)
- B-shape (standard contour pillow with two different-height lobes)
If the pillow feels too firm, you can remove the foam insert and replace it with softer fillers such as shredded memory foam, 3-D air-mesh, or breathable “egg-crate” pads.
SOFT PILLOWS
Soft crystal pillows may be used with or without the mat. They are more comfortable for long sessions and for sleeping, although they provide less firm cervical support than hard pillows.
Many people use soft pillows:
- for relaxing evening sessions
- for sleeping more comfortably
- to enjoy the gentle crystal warming effect
MAKING THE PILLOW SOFTER
If you want a softer feel, you can unzip the gemstone cover and replace the insert with your regular sleeping pillow or other soft filler material. Many customers use materials such as:
- shredded memory foam
- 3-D air-mesh pads
- soft pillow stuffing
This allows you to adjust firmness to your comfort level while still benefiting from the gemstone cover.
