Buckwheat Pillow

The WORLDS BEST PILLOW! It’s perfect in every way. NO ODOR it’s heavenly, trust me I know. I’m reactive to everything and especially pillows. This is not just a safe pillow, it is THE SAFEST PILLOW I have found. For your body, for breathing and sleeping, and absolutely for doing yoga! I’m buying two more so I have 3 for when I do yoga. When I get a studio this will be the pillow. I am sick now with immune and mast cell issues that’s why I can smell any odor and THIS IS PURE NATURAL AND HEALTHY. You will love this pillow. It is the pain medicine you didn’t know you needed. Say Goodbye to neck and shoulder pain. I woke up so peacefully this morning, my face not squished but gently held. I stretched for an hour simply because this pillow holds you and SUPPORTS YOU. The barley is the perfect amount for the perfect weight for me. Love that I can adjust the size. Love the shape fits perfectly, everywhere. Can’t wait to buy more pretty colors, but love that it’s natural. I was so surprised the pink pillow cover fabric is a bit better material than the beige, usually we assume beige is more natural. I always have to go for the healthiest possible material but they’re all still the best there is. I am so grateful I found them. This is the kind of thing I want to gift to my family. I feel like Elf on the movie when he finds the Worlds Best Hot Chocolate! YOU DID IT! THE WORLDS BEST PILLOW! 💛

I almost didn't buy this pillow after reading the negative reviews. Bugs! AHHH!! Having just gotten rid of a flour beetle infestation in my cupboard, the thought of bugs gave me the heebies. Who the heck would willingly buy something ORGANIC that might have BUGS (because everyone knows that ORGANIC means pesticides or something really toxic was used on the stuffing you're about to put your face on right? Not. So you'd better know how to deal with bugs:))? If you like organic things, no pesticides, no chemicals, you should know how to get rid of bugs, because real organic things often have bugs. I'm going to tell you what to do to kill bugs WITHOUT chemicals... The MICROWAVE! 2 minutes in the microwave kills most bugs. Put your inner pillow in the microwave for 2 minutes. The buckwheat hulls will steam. Yes, steam. If they completely dried out, they'd be so brittle they'd become dust, so there's still moisture in there. Now shake it up, flip it around, and put it back in the microwave for another 2 minutes. You've KILLED all the bugs and probably any eggs. Let the pillow cool down, 4 minutes in the microwave, it's pretty hot. To be 100% sure... now FREEZE the pillow in the freezer for 24 hours. Anything that can survive boiling isn't going to survive freezing as well. So freezing after microwaving should wipe out any still surviving bugs, bacteria, fungus, virus and eggs. Everything except tardigrades. No more bugs. No more bug eggs. If for whatever reason, new bugs smell your delicious buckwheat (because they are grain... and thus FOOD for a whole lot of things besides humans too), back in the microwave they go for 2 minutes. This also kills lice, bedbugs, mites, scabies, mange and whatever else your guests hopefully don't bring into your house. Now you know how to treat ANYTHING organic or inert, from pillowcases to stuffed animals. About the pillow.... omg, I LOVE it! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! No, the zipper isn't flimsy, you just have to be more careful with it, I mean, it's a pillow zipper, not luggage zipper? This pillow is way overstuffed with buckwheat hulls. What a nice surprise! Another reason I reviewed this was reading that someone TOOK THE INNER PILLOW OUT and put it into a bigger pillowcase to use... and when it burst from their own actions, they gave this pillow 1 star. What? I couldn't help it, I had to offer at least a contrasting review, and a comment... Did you look at the fabric of the inner pillowcase? It's a tight weave... but extremely delicate so you can feel the husks. How wouldn't anyone expect that small bag to split? I couldn't believe anyone who did something like that themselves would come here to complain and tell on themselves .... its like if you take the inner tube out of a bicycle wheel, wrapped it in aluminum foil, and proceeded to ride your bicycle every day on your genius inner tube wrapped aluminum foil. Then complain about the bicycle quality when the inner tube popped. Um. I have serious allergies. I THINK they added some dried lavender or another dried herb (maybe wormwood?) to the husks to keep bugs away from the delicious smell of buckwheat. This is bad for me, and maybe good for you unless you hate lavender or you are allergic to it. I'm allergic to it. Argh. I had to wrap the pillow in so far 9 layers. 2 quilted pillowcases doubled, 1 pure silk zippered pillowcase doubled, the original pillowcase, the gift carrying bag it came in, and finally the husk bag. I can still smell it... but it no longer makes me sneeze. Hopefully, this is enough to prevent any dust from reaching me.... only time will tell. So far so good. I LOVE the feel of the rock hard pillow enough to do all this so I can keep using it. Would I buy it again? Oh heck yes. I paid full price for this pillow, and I'm incredibly jealous of Vine Reviewers who get free stuff. If you love organics and you don't know about microwaving bugs, I hope this review helped you and I hope you will like this review too, just so I know it's still worth writing reviews.

Owned since Jan 17th, 2021 __________ Pros: +Thought the size may be too small actually perfectly fine about 2/3 of a 6' tall male's head +Slightly larger pillow case on the inside of the smaller one giving more flexibility with adjustments and allowing for the purchase of additional husks for a bigger pillow __________ Cons: -Zipper for outside pillow case breaks/falls off of the zipper "train tracks" -Zipper area threading is weak, threads came loose (Despite these things sleeping on the pillow hasnt been affected so they're just annoyances and problems that affect things independent of sleep or resting on it. Take note though that i sleep on the outer case. If the inner case we're to break (because it's made with the same zipper as the outer case) a mess would ensue and the pillow maybe unusable outside of personal fixes) __________ For Those New to Buck Wheat Husk Pillows: -Like all buckwheat husk pillows this pillow can be described as "customizable"/adjustable. It can change height and shape based upon how many husks you have inside (Additional Husks can be bought here on Amazon) -Conforming (and how it works) Pillow case nearly filled/stuffed = less conforming (kinda like a tightly packed bag of sugar?) Not as full/less stuffed = more conforming (Like a sandbag) A larger sized pillow case may offer more options -On the firm side of the softness scale, somewhat like sleeping on a bag of sand -Supportive of the head -Can seem to be "noisy" at first with but this sense/awareness will probably go away for you with more use and getting familiar with the pillow -Some people have mentioned bugs in husk pillows, while that may be true for their purchase this pillow and brand like many others seem to be void of such an issue (phew, what a relief) __________ ~Happy shopping, Chao

I've bought this twice. Love it! I'm a side sleeper and was tired of waking up with neck pain. I bought this and took about a week to get used to it. I will never go back to a foam/down pillow now. The little buckwheat nibs are moldable and hold their shape. They are also cooler than a regular pillow (I guess the nibs have spaces around them for air flow). I like to make a little indentation where my earrings are, so they don't crush into my ear when I lie on my side. The pillow is supportive. Perhaps a bit big for travel, but almost workable. I put mine in the freezer for a few days before use, just because I've read about bugs, although mine never had any. After a year, I noticed it was smaller than before, so I refilled it with a cup of buckwheat nibs, and it's like new again. I even bought a second one. My only concern is that the zipper is plastic, so be gentle with it. Mine hasn't broken, but I think it would break easily if you are rough when unzipping. However, the zipper is soft because it's plastic, and doesn't interfere with my sleep. I use a regular pillow case over the top so that I don't have to wash the color pillow cover often. It works for me.

Smelled like chemicals so I washed the outside on cold water (as you always should when getting a pillow), then the cheap zipper immediately broke when I zipped it up over the buckwheat again. The internal white shiny cloth over the buckwheat is definitely not a natural material despite their '100% natural' claim on their storefront.

I withdraw my earlier critical review—or don't publish if you haven't Amazon. "I purchased one of these buckwheat cushions nearly a year and really liked it. So I purchased three more. The family cat had an accident that impacted two of them. So I removed the buckwheat pouch and washed the outer cover. The buckwheat pouch was very hard to reinstall. I both cases the zips popped open (see picture). On the second I was very careful with zip not to stress it. Examination of the plastic zips reveals that they are way too flimsy for their purpose. So two of my four pillows are now effectively useless. I attach a picture. The manufacturers have to be aware of this weakness." It turns out you can force the zip back together in a way that they will work. It is an effort, but it is doable. And this allows me to reflect on the fact that i find these cushions excellent.

Not very happy with the pillows. I loved them the first few nights but less than 2 weeks later, they're already going flat. I asked the seller and he doesn't sell refills but also said the pillows don't go flat. Either be truthful or sell refills. I wouldn't have bought the pillow if I knew it went flat. The flatter they get the less nick support. Not impressed.

I love me some buckwheat pillows. I tried for years to love them and had a hard time with the lack of give, then I developed an issue with my spine that necessitated a firmer pillow with the right kind of shape and gave buckwheat another try. I am a restless, hot sleeper, and can offer with confidence that this pillow works for side and back sleeping and stays cool, unlike polyester or memory foam. It's also impossibly comfortable and great for spinal alignment - I have one for my head and one to put between my knees. The shape and size are prefect. These come overstuffed and I had to take about 5 cups of hulls out before it was my "just right." Everyone has their own "just right", not just with buckwheat, but with any sort of pillow, but buckwheat is singular in that it is highly customizable if you can get to the buckwheat and add or subtract as needed. Also worth mentioning: there are no bugs in my pillows.

My sleep is transformed!

Muito bom

Btw I never write reviews but I have to because this pillow doesn't look promising but it's heaven!! First of all I have 200$ memory foam pillows and feather pillows and no matter how I place them every morning I wake up with back pain, neck pain and sometimes a headache - so basically I wake up tired every morning. This pillow feels hard at first and I wasn't sure I was gonna sleep well but I didn't wake up once at night and woke up in the morning without any pain whatsoever and rested. I like to sleep on hard mattresses and I think this pillow is perfect for that. Granted the cover design is not the best and the fabric doesn't look like the best quality but I don't care you can replace that or buy a new pillow every time it breaks - as long as I don't sleep in pain it's all worth it!

Esta almohada es muy cómoda y perfecta para cualquier persona que necesite una almohada firme para aliviar el dolor de cuello o articulaciones. Por ejemplo, cuando tenía dolor de hombro, usaba esta almohada para ayudarme a levantar y descansar el brazo y el hombro para poder dormir toda la noche. Me gusta lo portátil que es y el peso de la almohada. También es fácil de guardar en caso de que no combine con la estética de la ropa de cama. El interior está relleno de cáscaras de trigo sarraceno, similares a las almohadas tradicionales que se utilizan en el este de Asia. La almohada tiene una funda interna con cremallera donde se guardan holgadamente las cáscaras de trigo sarraceno. El color de la almohada proviene de una funda externa con cremallera, por lo que es fácil quitar cuidadosamente las cáscaras de trigo sarraceno y lavar la funda externa. A diferencia de una almohada normal, las cáscaras de trigo sarraceno emiten un ligero crujido, por lo que si usted tiene el sueño sensible o su pareja tiene el sueño sensible, es posible que le lleve algún tiempo adaptarse. Encontré esta almohada en mi búsqueda de una almohada de estilo coreano que me ayudara a mejorar la calidad de mi sueño. Esta almohada es de China, pero es un buen sustituto de una almohada de estilo coreano en cuanto a precio y calidad.

super ce coussin ce que je dors bien !!!!
