About SacksyThyme
SacksyThyme is a small-batch wellness brand based in Newark, Delaware, founded in 2014 by Susie Conley, who began hand-sewing microwavable heating pads out of her home in nearby Landenberg, Pennsylvania while looking for a natural alternative to conventional pain remedies. The design she settled on, a fabric pad filled with organic flaxseed, dried cherry pits, and herbs, is still the company's flagship product: ninety seconds to two minutes in a microwave produces natural moist heat that the pad holds for 20 to 30 minutes, with no cord, battery, or electrical component to eventually fail. Every pad is sewn by hand rather than mass-manufactured, and the line has since grown to include aromatherapy diffusers, candles, and bath and body products, all made in the USA.
The flaxseed heating pad is SacksyThyme's most-reviewed product on Amazon, where it has drawn more than 5,700 ratings at a 4.5-star average on one listing and a 4.6-star average with over 1,200 ratings on a second, unusually large review volumes for a non-electric heating pad. Because the same fill that holds moist heat also holds cold, the pad doubles as a freezer-safe cold pack, giving it dual hot and cold therapy use from a single object. That combination of natural materials, hand construction, and no electrical parts to malfunction is what repeatedly stood out to us against the corded and battery-powered pads it was tested alongside.
