 Healloe-Pillow: A pillow for back pain

 and two pillows for computer users

What is it? Heallow-Pillow is a grained-filled pillow that can be heated in a microwave. The manufacturers, Carmela and Eitan Carmi, develop the basic idea and produce pillows, each time anew. And now: a pillow for the lower back with straps for tying around one's waist, and "computer pillows", one for the mouse and another for the keyboard, for pain relief in wrist joints and to serve as a comfortable work surface (even without heat).

How is it used? Simply heat the pillow in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. An accompanying leaflet provides detailed instructions for use and storage of the pillows. 

Too good to be true? Heallow-Pillow products are stringently designed and tailored to the point where we almost looked forward to a backache…without a doubt, the lower-back pillow is a godsend for which our vertebrae 4 & 5 will be grateful for years to come. Rather than being bound to one's bed, "where the pillows are", the lower-back pillow is bound/strapped to you, while you continue going about your normal activity, until longed-for relief is felt. The computer pillows are colorful and pleasant to the touch (as mentioned above, even when not heated) and indulge those who spend long hours at the computer - not to speak of their enviable style.
