This is definitely the pillow to choose. It smells incredible (not too strong) and the silken texture is pure indulgence. I chose the moss because the purple was out of stock and it is gorgeous. It is lined with purple -- what a beautiful combination.

I've had this eye pillow since last April and it still smells great, even though it lives trapped in the pocket of my yoga mat bag most of the time. Well worth the price.

Beautifully presented in its own case, great colours and designs and excellent for any form of relaxation

This eye pillow is absolutely stunning. The size, the comfort, the scent, it is all just perfect. I have had several eye pillows, and this one is by far the number one pillow.

Love the smell & feel of this product. It seems to be losing some of the seeds, although I can't figure out where they are coming from. Additionally, the pretty bead on the zipper fell off within an hour, but the bead is not neccessary to function properly.

Smells great. Molds well across the eye area. Nice weight. Wonderfully relaxing. The color is vibrant (I got the pink) and the fabric and pouch are well constructed.

If you are planning to use it for your yoga practice it makes savasana even more restful.

I received this as a gift and I could not have been happier with it! It is the slate color--which is almost a very light purple-blue--and it came with a beautiful deep purple bag to store it in.

I looked at other eye pillows since this one, and even got one as a spare, and you'd think they'd all be pretty similar but NO! The silk used on the Barefoot Yoga eye pillow is MUCH nicer, has a nice (also silk) keep-clean bag to store it in, the weight is perfect, and the size is just right for me. The measurements are 9" long x 4" wide; it weighs 9 7/8 oz. A few of the flax seeds do manage to sneak out of the discrete end zipper, but I just pick them out of the storage bag and toss back into pillow, making sure zipper is closed tight. OH the lavender is absolutely perfect--NOT perfumey or strong--just a light scent just barely noticeable. There are actual lavender flower petals mixed in with the flax seeds, so it is NOT just perfumed seeds, and I could add in my own dried lavender from my garden if I wanted more scent. The beads on the storage bag zipper fell off too like a previous review mentioned, but it was purely decorative and does not affect how you use the eye pillow. For your best savasanas ever, use this eye pillow!

The other pillow I can compare this to is the Yoga Accessories Large Lavender eye pillow. It is perfectly fine, but I love the feel of the Barefoot Yoga silk much better. YA Large eye pillow is approx 8" long x 5" wide; weighs 9 3/8 oz. I cannot open it to see what is inside--it is a sewn-shut white bag tucked in a silk pillowcase. That would make the silk bag washable. There is no storage bag included. I have the two pillows side by side in an attached photo. I like the narrower Barefoot Yoga bag as there is less bag forming around my nose, especially in a mostly reclined but not totally flat position. In the reclined restorative poses I noticed the wider YA pillow tries to roll down my face a little and that extra pressure on the sides of my nose is uncomfortable. The BY bag doesn't seem want to roll as much and just feels much nicer.

When I have to replace it someday, or give one as a gift, I will definitely get the Barefoot Yoga one.

It is very high quality and smells wonderful without being overpowering. It is a little pricey, but definitely a good product.

The eye pillow arrived promptly and is PERFECT. I love it and look forward to svasana after each yoga practice just to have that soothing silk lavender pillow on my eyes during restful state. Also love the colors: a rich olive green satin with eggplant purple pillow. LOVE IT.

This eye pillow is really nice quality and color. Smells great without being overpowering. Very relaxing!
