Q: What types and styles of Kozies™ do you have?
A: We have four designs: Neck lg. Neck sm. Rectangle, and square. These custom
shapes and sizes fit various needs for hot or cold therapy. Kozies™ come covered in a
variety of novelty print cotton fabrics. Find Retailers Near You or Visit www.Kozies.co.

Q: Wouldn't the corn in the Kozies™ pop if I heated it up in the microwave?
A: No. The corn used in Kozies™ has a natural "valve" in the bottom of each whole
kernel. This allows the moisture inside the kernel to drain naturally during the harvest
drying process but air can not get back in. Corn that is used for popping corn has a
sealed kernel bottom. This holds the moisture inside the popcorn kernel. The moisture
inside the kernel "explodes" in popcorn during heating. This does not apply to the type
of corn used in Kozies™.

Q: Why is corn a better choice for filler in Kozies™ Hot or Cold?
A: The corn we use to fill Kozies™ is clean, all natural, whole kernel corn grown and
made in the USA. Our corn holds heat better than other grains used in therapy bags.
Corn is a larger grain than rice, wheat or flax, giving it better attributes for heat.
Corn is also safer for the same reason. Smaller grains such as wheat have warnings
about danger of fire and even explosions. Flax seed contains linseed oil which is
explosive in the presence of oxygen. Corn is not known to scorch like rice does.
Some smaller grains also smell rancid over time. Corn does not.
