Commonly asked

"Will my dog be okay around this?"

Be careful. Coffee beans are genuinely toxic to dogs — caffeine metabolizes badly in their bodies. We sew the inner liner specifically to prevent bean access, but dogs that chew can get through anything. Keep this product out of reach of any pet that destroys soft furniture. If you live with a serial pillow-eater, our Decaf version uses decaffeinated beans, which are significantly less risky if accidentally ingested. Either way: this is not pet bedding. We're not joking about this one.

How it's built

Engineered around the bean.

Four layers, each doing one job. A pillow stuffed end-to-end with beans flops, doesn't breathe, and your hand sinks into fabric. So we don't make those.

01
The outer shell
100% organic cotton canvas with contrast saddle stitching along every seam. Zippered, removable, machine-washable. The part you see, the part that gets spilled on, the part you can replace. Most pillows can't.
02
The micron bag
Food-grade spunbond non-woven liner — same material category that makes tea bags work. Holds the beans. Lets the aroma out. Keeps the bean dust in. We tried muslin. Bean powder leaked through onto the couch. We don't use muslin.
03
The breathable air core
A central foam structure that holds the pillow's shape and keeps air moving through. Without it, the pillow collapses around your hand like a sad beanbag. With it, it actually feels like a pillow. We tested both.
04
The bean perimeter
Real fresh-roasted coffee, packed around the core in the layer where your hand and face actually touch. Not in the middle (where you couldn't smell them). Not throughout (too heavy). On the outside. Where it counts.
