Details

Shepherd's Dream's Wool Lumbar Pillow is a firm, dense roll of premium EcoWool batting encased in organic cotton sateen - designed to sit wherever the body needs support that a regular pillow cannot provide. Placed behind the lower back, it fills the lumbar curve and takes pressure off the spine during long stretches of sitting up in bed or on a sofa. Placed between the knees, it aligns the hips and relieves pressure on the lower back and sacrum for side sleepers. For pregnant women, it is particularly effective
at both positions - supporting a changing lumbar curve and cushioning the hips and knees as the body shifts through pregnancy.

The EcoWool fill is the same premium batting used across Shepherd's Dream's mattress and topper range - sourced from regional farms in California and Oregon, untreated, naturally hypoallergenic, and thermoregulating. Firm enough to hold its shape under body weight, soft enough not to create pressure points.

Available in two sizes - small (5 x 17) and large (7 x 22) - with or without a washable organic cotton sateen cover. Made to order by hand. Allow 2-3 weeks.

Sizing

Variation Width x Length Wool Fill Weight
Lumbar Pillow Without Cover 14 x 36 in. 35 oz.
Lumbar Pillow Cover 15.5 x 37 in. -

Which size to choose:
Small (5 x 17): lower back support while sitting, between-the-knees for side sleeping, travel-friendly.
Large (7 x 22): fuller lumbar support, pregnancy bolster, or wider hip support for larger frames.

How to use
Lower back support: place horizontally behind the lumbar curve when sitting up in bed or on a sofa. The pillow fills the natural arch of the lower back and takes weight off the spine.

Between the knees: place vertically between the knees when sleeping on your side. Keeps hips stacked and reduces pressure on the lower back and sacrum.

Pregnancy bolster: use behind the lower back in the second and third trimester to support the changing lumbar curve, or between the knees to cushion the hips as they widen.

The cotton sateen cover (sold with the with-cover option) slips on and off easily and can be machine washed.

Care
The pillow insert: spot clean only with a damp cloth and mild wool-safe soap. Allow to air dry completely.
Air in fresh sunshine periodically to refresh the wool fill.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry the insert.

The washable cotton sateen cover (included with the with-cover option): machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Lay flat or tumble dry on low. Do not iron directly on the cover.

About the Maker

their land and their animals. Their work is a direct vote for the domestic wool industry - and for the idea that what you bring into your home should last a lifetime.
