Japanese Style Butterfly Support Pillow
The Butterfly Pillow is a compact multi-purpose support pillow inspired by traditional Japanese cushion designs. Its small shape makes it easy to position wherever gentle support is needed, whether for the neck during sleep, between the knees when lying on your side, or for additional support while sitting or travelling.
Despite its compact size, the pillow offers comfortable support in many everyday situations. The design allows it to be used as a small neck pillow, lumbar support cushion, knee spacer or travel pillow. Its lightweight size also makes it easy to carry when travelling or staying away from home.
The pillow is available with a choice of natural and synthetic fillings so you can select the feel that suits you best. Each pillow includes a removable 100% cotton cover that can be easily washed for everyday use.
