FAQ
FAQ
What do we fill our heat pads with?
Our heat pads are filled with soft, comforting linseed as standard — it has a lovely weight and holds heat beautifully. If you prefer, you can choose wheat instead. We also offer the option to add dried herbs or flowers for a naturally gorgeous scent — think lavender, chamomile, or rose. It’s like a little hug with every use.
Can I use a heat pad if I have a skin condition or am pregnant?
Your wellbeing is so important. If you're pregnant or have a skin condition (or any health concerns at all), we always recommend checking with a healthcare professional who knows you and your needs. It’s best to be safe and fully informed.
How do I avoid burning my heat pad?
A few simple steps will help keep your heat pad safe and snug. Always place it on a clean, microwave-safe plate (leftover food in the microwave can singe the fabric). Pop a small cup of water in the microwave too — this adds moisture to the air and keeps the seeds from drying out. And please don’t overheat your pad — it's tempting, but too much heat can damage the fabric and seeds. Don’t worry: full care instructions come with every pad.
How often can I reheat my heat pad?
Our heat pads are made to last — you can reheat them hundreds (even thousands!) of times. Just make sure the pad has completely cooled before you pop it back in the microwave. Again, including a small cup of water helps preserve the filling and keeps everything working beautifully. Sometimes you just can't wait so if you reheat your pad while it is still warm, it may not need the full heating time again.
Can I heat my heat pad in the oven?
No ovens, please — our heat pads are designed to be safely heated only in a domestic microwave. You can gently warm them by resting them on a radiator, but they should always be supervised. Safety first.
How do I clean my heat pad?
Just a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth will do the trick for spot-cleaning. Please don’t immerse your heat pad in water or pop it in the washing machine — it’s not safe for the seeds inside. Some of our heat pads come with removable covers you can wash, so be sure to check your product details for that little luxury.

Collapsible content
Let's compare our "Everyday Freedom" SelkiBelts and our classic SelkiBelts!
What's the same?
- The Environment - Still 100% Biodegradable, no plastic here!
- The Filling - High quality linseed combines lightness without the typical 'burnt' rice smell. Linseeds high oil content ensures heat for longer.
- The Size range - Available in 3 lengths to fit all sizes (please check size chart!)
- The Creators - Our products are still ethically handmade by two sisters (Triana and Hannah) in Scotland who love what we do!
- The Design - the heat dad section is designed to be identical to our linen Selkskins collection.
What's different?
- The Material - "Everyday Freedom" SelkiBelts are 100% cotton, a soft and sturdy fabric, while our classic SelkiBelts are made from ECO Enzyme Dyed Linen for a luxury soft and durable experience.
- The Straps - "Everyday Freedom" SelkiBelts have 100% cotton webbing straps for a secure fit. While our classic SelkiBelts, has handcrafted straps made from the same ECO Enzyme Dyed Linen as the body.
Why we believe SelkiBelts a Great Alternative to Hot Water Bottles?
Hands Free - Every SelkiBelt has sturdy straps that wrap around the body up to 2 times! This means the Selkibelt can fit as close to your body or be as tight as you would like, leaving you free to carry on with your day! Hot water bottles are too bulky for this, and ones with straps will fall down or not have a close fit.
Fit - At Selki we believe your heat-pack should fit you, not the other way round! Hot water bottles are usually stiff and we end up manoeuvring ourselves around them to fit rather than the other way round. SelkiBelts are sectioned into baffles that fit where they are needed.
Moist Heat - It has been shown that moist heat penetrates the body deeper than dry heat. Our SelkiBelts have a moist heat, whereas hot water-bottles give a dry heat. This means that the heat our SelkiBelts give to you is more effective at reaching deep muscles - causing better all round relaxation.
Weight - Hot water bottles are heavy, they are filled with water and work best when you're stationary, sitting or lying down. It's definitely always a struggle to hold on to a hot water bottle while doing everyday tasks! SelkiBelts are filled with linseed (which is far lighter) meaning you can carry on with your day without feeling weighed down.
Environmental Impact - Hot water bottles are most commonly made of rubber degrades quickly, can rupture and persist in a landfill for thousands of years. SelkiBelts are made from 100% biodegradable materials and can literally be thrown in the compost pile (after years of use and love, of course!)
