Wasserfeld
Moor cushion

The therapeutic mud cushion from the Wasserfeld brand ensures a feeling of well-being in everyday life.

The moor filling guarantees extra-long warmth.

The versatility of the product should be emphasised: it can be used for back, neck, abdominal or shoulder pain, for example.

To warm up, the cushion can either be placed in the microwave or in a water bath . If required, a cooling effect can also be created – simply cool the cushion in the fridge.

Moor is considered a natural medical remedy and provides deep relaxation, which many physiotherapists also rely on in their practices.

According to the seller, the peat cushion is manufactured in Germany under strict quality controls.

Measuring 22 x 18 cm, the cushion can be attached to any part of the body as required.

The product comes with a natural bag with a practical Velcro fastener in which the cushion can be stored during or after use.

Overall, it is a sustainable product that can be used for at least 2 years.

The peat cushion was convincing in the practical test, the warming effect of the peat helped to relax the muscles in the back.

  • Can be applied to all parts of the body thanks to its ideal size
  • Can be heated or cooled as required
  • Natural healing method, non-toxic natural mud
  • Packed in plastic

The moor cushion from Wasserfeld was delivered in a product box.

All product components were packed in a large plastic bag – it would be desirable to review the use of more environmentally friendly packaging elements here.

Overall, the product was packaged to save space.

The product scope includes the mud cushion and a storage bag , so the seller supplies all the necessary components for immediate use.

In addition, instructions for use are enclosed, which contain warnings as well as information on the natural moor and its storage and disposal.

After unpacking, the first thing that catches the eye is the size of the peat cushion: it is very compact and can therefore be assumed that it can be easily applied to a wide variety of body parts .

The natural-coloured storage bag, which is also included and can be used during use, can be easily opened with a Velcro fastener. It is made from 100 % polyester, so a change to more natural materials such as cotton would be desirable.

The natural moor inside the pillow is evenly distributed and the product is well filled overall.

Overall, the product feels compact and stable at the same time.

No odour of moor is perceptible through the outside of the moor cushion.

The first impression of the product is positive, and due to the workmanship it can be assumed that the product can be used for a long time.

Visually the moor cushion is kept very simple, but in our opinion a certain design is not necessary for a product of this type.

This is what our practical test showed

The mud cushion was tested in practice on different parts of the back. After warming it up in the microwave (30 seconds at a maximum of 800 watts) and storing it in the bag supplied, the temperature could be maintained for several hours .

The optimised size makes it easy to apply the cushion to all painful areas. The flexibility of the cushion also helps to ensure that the product fits perfectly. This results in numerous different application options; the pillow is suitable for the back, neck, stomach and shoulder areas, among others.

Overall, the product is very odourless, neither an earthy or natural smell of bog nor a chemical or unpleasant smell could be detected.

The longevity of the product should be emphasised positively: if used correctly, it can be used again and again, and the seller promises a shelf life of at least two years.

The product was manufactured in Germany and has CE certification. The seller states that the product was manufactured in compliance with quality criteria – a more detailed description would be desirable here. The origin of the natural moor is not clear from the instructions for use.

Overall, it is a high-quality and very stable product with well thought-out dimensions that can contribute to pain relief in the muscular area.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. One individual case criticised the fact that the pillowcase was stained. On the other hand, the quick heating, the long temperature resistance and the soft cover are emphasised positively . In our practical test , we were able to confirm that the pillow heats up quickly and can maintain the temperature for a long time. The consumer’s criticism of the pillowcase could not be confirmed in the practical test.

Prices of up to €29.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €14.95 . The moor cushion from Wasserfeld is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €18.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
