lavender pillow
...is actually lavender and wheat. It is a flat cloth tube filled with wheat grains and dried lavender, but I have seen other brands in more traditional cushion shapes.
You put it in the microwave for three minutes and it gets hot and retains the heat for a couple of hours, though not as long as a hot water bottle. Mine is this particular shape for wrapping over shoulders, but I lay it in my bed between my legs from the knees down. Reaches just past my feet.
The brand is Tisserand, a big aromatherapy brand over here. But I think one might even be able to make one's own - after all, it is literally just a bag of cloth stuffed (loosely) with wheat and lavender. Hey - at last, a good use for wheat!
The lavender smell is pretty much faded now, despite my occasionally dripping a few drops of essential oil on it, but the warmth part still works well.
