Heat packs (130) are incorporated into a designated pocket (120, 220, 320a, 320b) within a travel pillow (100), support pillow (200), or a blanket (300) to provide a user with soothing, targeted, and controlled heat in a consistent, convenient, and comfortable application. A heat pack (130) may be disposable and comprise a soft, lightweight, air-permeable pouch. One side of the heat pack (130) may be air-permeable to optimally direct the targeted heat to a user. The contents of the heat pack (130) may include a mixture of iron powder, sawdust, activated carbon, salt, water, cellulose, and vermiculite. The pocket (120, 220, 320a, 320b) into which the heat pack (130) is inserted may be comprised of a spandex material or the like that is lightweight, permeable, breathable, flexible, and stretchable, providing superior contact while allowing for an optimal amount of heat to permeate from the pocket (120, 220, 320a, 320b) to the user.
