Everything you need to know about NOLAVA Designs, the LOTUS Eye Pillow, the NOLAVA App and our daily reset rituals.
What products does NOLAVA Designs offer?
NOLAVA Designs is an Australian wellbeing brand, founded in 2019, creating daily reset rituals for busy women. Our best-known product is the LOTUS Eye Pillow, a weighted flaxseed and lavender eye pillow, available in scented and unscented versions and supported by the free NOLAVA app. We also offer a 40-card Yoga Card deck, yoga mats and sets, and a selection of free wellness eBooks.
Are NOLAVA yoga mats eco-friendly?
Yes. NOLAVA yoga mats are crafted from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), an eco-friendly, non-toxic material free from PVC, latex, and harmful chemicals. TPE is tear-resistant, lightweight, and provides excellent grip for a safe and stable practice.
What is inside a NOLAVA weighted eye pillow?
NOLAVA weighted eye pillows are filled with natural flaxseeds, which provide gentle, even pressure across the eyes and forehead. Our lavender varieties also contain French lavender buds for natural aromatherapy. The covers are made from soft organic cotton for comfort against the skin.
What are the benefits of using a weighted eye pillow?
Weighted eye pillows provide gentle, even pressure that many people find calming. They are popular for yoga Savasana, meditation, naps, or winding down after a long day.
How does lavender aromatherapy support relaxation and sleep?
Lavender is traditionally used in aromatherapy, and its scent is widely associated with relaxation, which is why it pairs well with meditation and bedtime routines.
What is included in the NOLAVA 7-Piece Purple Yoga Set?

Are NOLAVA eye pillows available in unscented options?
Yes. The LOTUS Weighted Eye Pillow is available in an unscented version filled with flaxseeds only - ideal for those who prefer the benefits of gentle pressure without added aromatherapy.
What is the NOLAVA App?
The NOLAVA App is a free mindfulness app offering guided meditations, breathing exercises, and wellness tools to support your daily practice. The current app is available to download now, and an enhanced new version is in development.

Where does NOLAVA Designs ship?
NOLAVA Designs ships to addresses within mainland Australia and the mainland United States, and standard shipping is free in both. Not every product is available in both countries. The products shown on this site for your country are the ones we can ship to you. Customers in Canada and Mexico can buy through our official Amazon US store.

Are NOLAVA products available on Amazon?

How do I choose the right yoga mat size and thickness?
For most practitioners, a standard 68 x 24 inch mat is sufficient, though taller yogis may prefer 72 x 24 inches. For thickness, 6mm provides extra cushioning for joints while 4mm offers a balance of grip and portability. NOLAVA's Pink TPE Yoga Mat is 72 x 24 x 1/4 inch - ideal for home, studio, and travel. The Pink TPE Yoga Mat is currently available in the United States only.
Does NOLAVA offer free wellness resources?
Yes. NOLAVA offers free downloadable eBooks covering everyday stress relief, natural headache management, sleep health, yoga power poses, desk yoga, and dry eye care - available directly from our website, no purchase required.
What is NOLAVA's philosophy and approach to wellbeing?
NOLAVA Designs believes calm is built from small, consistent daily rituals rather than big overhauls. We design simple, thoughtfully made tools, led by the LOTUS Eye Pillow and the NOLAVA app, that help busy women pause, reset and rest a little every day.
Can I buy NOLAVA products as a gift?
Our Yoga Card Set and yoga sets make thoughtful gifts. Which products are available depends on your country, so check the product pages.
