Abstract

A reversible eye pillow provides a set of opposed sides, each formed of a continuous fabric panel that is resiliently stretchable. Each side includes peripheral portions that conform to and contact peripheral portions of a user's eye and a recessed portion that enables a user to open his or her eye with the eye pillow in place. The eye pillow is tightly filled with small bead like thermal storage filling material that maintains a reduced temperature and includes a smooth surface to provide easy deformability of the eye pillow even at reduced temperatures.
