The cold cap
One cold cap for every bad head day.
Cold, darkness and gentle pressure you pull on in seconds. For migraine days, heavy sinuses, screen-tired eyes and the morning after.

The usual way
An ice pack that melts, a tea towel that drips, and another trip to the freezer.
Ice packs slide off the spot you need them on. They go warm just as the cold starts to help. And getting up for a fresh one is the last thing anyone wants to do on a bad head day.
It slides off
Lie down and the pack ends up on the pillow, not your head. Every single time.
It warms up too fast
A few minutes in, the cold is gone and you're back where you started. So disappointing.
It means getting up
Out of the dark room, into the kitchen light, for a fresh one. We know that feeling sucks.
What it feels like
Like switching the lights off in a cool, cozy room.
Cold
HushGel™ cools the forehead, temples and back of the head at the same time.
Dark and quiet
Covers your eyes and ears, so light is blocked and sound is softer.
Gentle pressure
A snug stretch fit hugs your forehead, temples and the back of your head, without straps or velcro.
Why cold, dark and pressure
What the research says
HushCap isn't a medical treatment. But cold and darkness are long-standing self-care steps for migraine days, and cold has been studied.
Cold
Mayo Clinic's migraine self-care advice includes cold packs on the head or neck. A 2022 review of six studies found cold gel caps and headbands lowered migraine pain at 30 minutes, though not at 24 hours. That's why the Rotation Set lets you swap to a fresh, cold cap.

Dark and quiet
Mayo Clinic suggests relaxing in a dark, quiet space, because light and sound can make migraine pain worse. The NHS suggests lying down in a darkened room.
Gentle pressure
Pressure has less research behind it. One small study found pressing on the temple arteries eased some migraine attacks. We mainly use a snug fit so the cold stays where you put it.
How the Rotation Set works
Three caps. One always cold.
Keep two chilled
Keep two in the freezer, or in the fridge if you like a gentler cold. A clean zip bag keeps them fresh.
Pull one on whenever
Pull it on like a wide headband, then down over your eyes. Cold, dark and gentle pressure, all the way round.
Swap when it warms
After about 20 minutes of intense cooling, you get another 30-40 minutes of gentle, soothing cool. You can swap it with the other in the freezer and lie back down.
Why three? Even HushGel™ loses its chill eventually. People who love their cap tend to end up buying two or three to rotate, so we put three in one box: buy 2, get the 3rd free.
One cap, used in more than one way
Not just for migraine days.
Migraine days
Cold, dark and gentle. Lie back and let the cap soothe you.
Heavy, blocked sinuses
Gentle cold across the forehead and eyes when everything feels congested.
Screen-tired eyes
Ten minutes of cool and dark after a long day at a screen.
The morning after
For the hangover headache you may have earned.
Hot nights and hot flashes
A cool head when the room just won't cool down.
Why HushCap
Built around what people complain about.
We read hundreds of reviews of gel caps before building HushCap. These are the complaints that kept coming up, and what we did about each one.
A gift that actually helps
For the person you watch suffer through it.
To be loved is to be seen. You can't make a bad head day go away. You can make the next one easier: three caps, chilled and ready, so they never have to get up for a fresh ice pack.
- Arrives ready to be chilled.
- Give the gift of relief, to those you love.
- 30 days to decide. We believe in HushCap.
Questions
Before you order
How long does it stay cold?
In our own test, about 20 minutes of intense, freezer-fresh coldness, then 30-40 minutes of gentle, soothing cool. That's why the Rotation Set has three: when one warms, the next is ready.
It feels too cold from the freezer. What now?
Keep it in the fridge instead. Plenty of people prefer fridge-cold, and that's fine. Your comfort matters most.
Is it a treatment for migraines?
No. HushCap is a comfort product: cold, darkness and gentle pressure. It isn't a medicine and doesn't treat or prevent any condition. If headaches are frequent or severe, talk to your doctor.
Some people like to wear it while they wait for medication to work. It goes alongside what your doctor recommends, not instead of it. You have 30 days to try it risk-free.
Is it OK for sensitive skin?
The gel is sealed inside a soft fabric cover and is latex-free. Take it off if it feels too cold or your skin reacts.
When will it arrive?
Shipping is free. After processing, orders ship in 4–9 business days to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with tracking sent as soon as it leaves.
What if it's not for me?
Tell us within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund you. Full terms are in our refund policy.
How do I clean it?
Wipe it with a damp cloth then let it dry before chilling.
Who are you?
HushCap is a small store started by someone who's had migraines for years, so I know what a bad head day is like.
Email support@steadyco.shop and I'll reply myself.
Try it for 30 days.
Use it through a few bad head days. If it isn't for you, send it back within 30 days and we'll refund you.
Next bad head day, have three ready.
The Rotation Set: buy 2, get the 3rd free. For yourself or someone you love.
