Our journey

Beginnings...
In 1998 in a small town in Iowa, Marsha Gillis, a busy mother of 4 young children discovered the magic of a corn-filled heating pad. After sharing with family and friends and excited to share with others, Marsha started selling them at local craft shows, all while homeschooling her children.

Today...
Now blossomed into a thriving online business, reaching thousands of customers nationwide, Marsha's oldest son, Hagin, has joined her in the venture. Hagin plays a key role with his innovation and product design skills, managing the day-to-day operations alongside Marsha. Together, they pour their heart and soul into the brand, ensuring that the magic Marsha discovered years ago continues to bring comfort to people everywhere.

What's next...
We have a lot in store for the future of Iowa Corn Baby and we're excited to share it with you! Stay tuned :)

Our mission

At Iowa Corn Baby, our mission is to bring comfort and warmth to people's lives through our products. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on every customer, one Corn Baby at a time.

Why Corn is Special

Each corn kernel acts as its own little heat pad, with starch inside to hold heat or cold and a thick shell to retain its temperature. Pair that with a durable cotton canvas inner bag and a specially woven outer cover, and that's what makes it a Corn Baby.

What does that mean for you?
Natural moist heat with gentle compression, perfectly conforming to your body, bringing you comfort when you need it most.
