I have already got my moor pillow birthday and now I have a buy for my family. I use this moor pillow whenever I have problems with my back, it was a little tension, back pain, or if you just need a little time just deep heat. This pillow is very easy to handle, either one warms it up with hot water from the kettle, or you can use the microwave. My favorite warm it in a bowl of warm water from the kettle, and then simply place on a round bed. :-) Then Warm very long through.
