Make the beach a snooze fest with a beach pillow 😴

Do you like to lay out in the sun, but you're tired of your head being in the sand? Our Pro Pillow can help! Use it face down, face up or around your neck for ultimate relaxation (and sunbathing technique) 😎🌞

We hope everyone is having a comfortable and relaxing Memorial Day holiday! 🎉😴

We think you need a solid nap 😴 So grab a Ballast Beach Pillow and hit the sand 😴

Enter your pink and purple era with our new Coral Checkers Beach Pillow! 🩷💜

Happy International Day of Families! 🥰

We couldn’t be happier to announce that our Ballast Beach Pillows and Cooling Packs are now available in all REI stores nationwide. Growing up, REI is where we’ve always gone to get our outdoor gear, so it’s a bit surreal to see our pillows on their shelves alongside many of our favorite brands.

We’re also ecstatic for what this means for beach pillows as a category. We created the Ballast Beach Pillow because we wanted something better than a rolled-up towel when relaxing at the beach, and it’s incredible to see that idea embraced by such a prominent player in the outdoor space.

We hope this partnership helps more people enjoy a comfortable, relaxing day at the beach, pool, park, or anywhere else you want to rest your head.

Massive thanks to the REI team for believing in what we’re building. And if you stop by your local store and see Ballast on the shelves, we hope you’ll show REI some love and let them know beach pillows belong.

Our Pro Pillows help you nap wherever! Even if it's a paddle board...😴

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there that deserve to give their head a rest 😴 And to all the kids out there: DON'T BOTHER HER! ☺️
