Buckwheat Pillows

A Buckwheat Pillow - Priceless

     Buckwheat pillows are priceless to a lot of people. But there are a lot of people who would scarcely glance twice at anything as useful and practical as a buckwheat pillow. That is if there were, right next to it on the store shelf, a totally useless and impractical item like a cabbage patch doll, or one of those little furry rodents people were fighting over there for a while before Christmas. After all that commotion over those, there, before Christmas, my wife just recently bought one at a yard sale for a quarter.

     I find it amusing, but even more so, saddening, to see people with limited incomes going ga-ga over those virtually worthless trifles, while they will stand and scratch their rears and pick their noses while trying to justify “sacrificing” a few dollars to invest in something really practical, which would enrich and improve 30% of every day that they will be on this earth - a buckwheat pillow. That’s because we average about 30% of our lives sleeping.

     There are several explanations for this behavior, some understandable, and some just idiotic. The most reasonable of the causes of this are that a lot of people simply don’t know what a buckwheat pillow is. That’s not their fault. Or, while they may have a vague notion of what they are, they don’t really comprehend how valuable and advantageous buckwheat pillows are to the well being of so much of their life.

     I can’t help but feel at least partially responsible for this situation, or at least, let’s say, I feel I have a responsibility to do what I can to alleviate this state of affairs. I feel I need to do what I can, to enlighten everyone that I can, as to the benefits and advantages of buckwheat pillows over conventional foam and feather pillows. 

     But then, there are those who I can’t help. Those are the ones who understand the values involved, but they simply don’t have the discipline to resist that warm, fuzzy feeling they get when they  see the whimsical look on a doll’s face, or the cuteness of a furry little puppy, and they just can’t get their wallets opened up fast enough to spend their hard earned dollars, while they feign poverty when it comes to investing in something that would really benefit them.

     These people have basically the same psychological makeup as the alcoholic who, upon finding or being given, some money, immediately goes out and purchases a cheap bottle of wine, even though they’re literally starving to death.

     So, if you fall in the category of the unenlightened, please go to my website and learn all about the advantages of buckwheat pillows. But if you fall in the psychologically challenged, then I guess you’ll just have to experience the old cliche’ of “You made your own bed, now go sleep in it”. But I know that’s not where you fit in. I’ll be waiting for your order through Buckwheatglory.com.

BUY ONLY THE BEST

Let’s not beat around the bush. I’m here to do one thing, and that is to convince you that you need my pillows. Not just any pillows, but the best kind of pillows in the world - buckwheat pillows. And not just any buckwheat pillows, but the best buckwheat pillows - mine - Buckwheat Glory.com buckwheat pillows.

You’re going to spend about 30% of your life sleeping. You get the best sleep when you’re comfortable. No pillow provides as much sleeping comfort as my buckwheat pillows.

Why would you ever sleep on anything but the most comfortable and most healthful green pillows in existance, when in the long run, they are also the most economical?

How can my organic, hypoallergenic, handmade buckwheat pillows save you money? I’ll tell you how. Have you ever heard of dust mites? Have you ever seen a microscopic picture of one? Disgusting - and not healthy. Dust mites are universal and are a member of the arachnid (spider) family. They pervade virtually every home in the world, and infest in great numbers all pillows except those that are either plasticized or chemically treated to repel them, but both of those remedies produce harmful toxins. Properly vacuumed buckwheat pillows, such as mine, are the other exception.

The millions of dead dust mite bodies, along with their feces, which accumulate in the other pillows produce allergens which provide misery to allergy and asthma sufferers, and cause that stuffy feeling we’ve all probably felt at one time or another when we woke up in the morning. Over time, these dead dust mites and their feces contribute significantly to the weight of a conventional pillow.

Due to these accumulations of dust mite debris, health experts recommend replacing conventional foam and feather pillows periodically, some as often as every 6 months. In contrast, my buckwheat pillows will last 15 years or more, while the malleability factor of the buckwheat hulls, which is what produces their incomparable sleeping comfort, actually improves with use. So it’s easy to see how much money you will save over the years by investing in a quality buckwheat pillow.

Why not surprise the mother in your family with a mothers’ day gift of a pair of matched buckwheat pillows for her bed. Can you think of a more useful and unique mothers’ day gift?

A BUCKWHEAT PILLOW

     Buckwheat Pillows originated in the Orient. They’ve been in use there for between two and three thousand years. It took a long time for them to be introduced into our western culture, but now those who’ve had the opportunity to sleep on one, usually don’t want to go back to sleeping on anything else. Many take their buckwheat pillow with them any time they travel, simply because they find them so much more comfortable to sleep on.

     In addition to their basic comfort, quality buckwheat pillows have many additional advantages over their more traditional counterparts. One advantage is their ability to allow ventilation of air through the tri-shaped buckwheat hulls. Their tri-shape produces spaces between themselves, which allows air to circulate between them, diminishing the hot sweaty feeling you often get on the back of your head in warm, humid weather.

     Another quality which many owners are probably not even aware of, is their resistance to dust mite infestations. Many people do not know that virtually all conventional pillows, regardless of what type filling they have (other than triple vacuumed buckwheat hulls) are infested with millions of dust mites, which live off dead skin and dander cells.

      These mites (they belong to the arachnid, or spider family) do not bite or harm humans, but their millions of dead bodies and feces do give off toxins and allergens that can adversely affect those prone to asthma and allergies. Dust mites will pass through buckwheat hulls, but they don’t infest them as they do all other pillow fillings, unless they have been treated or plasticized, both of which are more detrimental to humans than are dust mites.

     Another very important feature not shared by conventional pillows, is that you can adjust them to your own particular comfort level. Since the comfort of buckwheat pillows is derived from  malleability (the ability to form itself to the configuration of your head and support it from all sides), rather than from softness, a concealed nylon zipper is inserted in one end of the pillow, allowing you to fill the pillow to the volume which produces the very best comfort for you individually. No conventional pillow can boast of this feature.

      This feature also adds to the pillow’s ability to adapt to your particular neck’s cervical curviture. which is what causes the buckwheat pillow to come so highly recommended by chiropractors. Many people report relief from a variety of afflictions ranging from neck pain to snoring to migraines to insomnia.

     I wonder if those people sleeping on their buckwheat pillows two or three thousand years ago had any idea that so many humans would just now be discovering the advantages of the pillows they were already using.

Since this is a relatively short blog post, I can’t begin to cover all the bases right here, but if you click here on buckwheatglory.com, and check out the “FAQ (frequently asked questions)” page, you’ll find a plethora of basic information.

MY GUARANTEE-1 YEAR

     BUCKWHEAT GLORY puts its money where it’s mouth is. I believe I offer the most generous money back satisfaction guarantee in the business. If you’re not satisfied, return your BUCKWHEAT GLORY buckwheat pillow, and I will return your purchase price, and you keep the FREE aromatherapy sachets as a token of my appreciation for trying my pillows. I am that sure that you will not want to give up your pillows.

     Over the years I’ve had 2 orders returned under my guarantee. The one lady had just spent 8 days in intensive care, and was very weak. Buckwheat pillows are a little heavier than feather or foam pillows. Plus I ship them fully filled, which is not the way most people would actually use them. In her condition she found them to be too heavy for her, but I’m not sure she was up to a king size pillow of any style.

     The other was a man, and he really didn’t explain why he wanted to return the pillow. But I later found out that he had had a brain tumor which he had surgically removed. Buckwheat pillows are not feathery soft as some feather pillows, and I suspect his head was still somewhat tender. The comfort provided by buckwheat pillows is derived from the malleability and support they provide rather than extreme softness. For most people, the comfort afforded by that malleability and support is superior to that allowed by the softness.

     Anyway, you’ve nothing to lose. Give my buckwheat pillows an honest trial, and outside of some kind of unusual circumstance, I feel quite sure you’ll have no wish to return them. In fact, you’d probably put up a fight if someone insisted in taking them from you.

EAT IT OR SLEEP ON IT?

     Buckwheat in a pillow (the hulls only) I’ve always touted. But today I’d like to enlighten you on another, perhaps more important, use of buckwheat The reason I say “perhaps” is because the full importance of eating buckwheat is just now being scientifically tested.

     While researching buckwheat in regard to buckwheat pillows I happened to encounter some information regarding the nutritional aspects of buckwheat. It seems the University of Manitoba has found evidence that buckwheat may be very helpful in the prevention or control of diabetes. Since I have just recently been diagnosed as being prediabetic, I took particular notice of this.

     It seems that they had found that in a particular geographical area, diabetes was simply absent. They also noted that as soon as people moved away from this area, and started to eat the foods common to the area into which they had just moved, they eventually developed diabetes rather consistant with the local population. So they surmised that there was something peculiar to the area they had left, which was responsible for the absence of diabetes.

     They sent some researchers to the area, and the only difference they could find peculiar to the region was that every food in which other peoples used some form of grain, the people native to the area in question used buckwheat exclusively. Buckwheat, technically, is not a grain, but a fruit or a berry. However it can be ground into a flour, or crushed into groats, and used as a grain would be used.

     They have found that buckwheat contains one of the highest concentrations of high quality, very digestible proteins among plants. Buckwheat’s protein absorption rate of 74% qualifies it as a very good meat substitute. It is high in zinc, copper, niacin, and has an 80% content of carbohydrates. Its starch can be substituted as a fat substitute in processed foods.

     I’ve found all this information in the University of Manitoba web site. They are planning extensive testing on humans (they’ve already done limited testing on both humans and diabetic mice), so I’m anxiously waiting for this to be done. No, Im not abandoning buckwheat pillows on my web site. But I’m not ruling out adding buckwheat groats to it at some point. Stay tuned, but in the meantime, sleep well on your buckwheat pillow.

Pillow Filled With Buckwheat Hulls

     A buckwheat pillow is a sleeping pillow filled with buckwheat hulls. You may or may not have known that. I have a reason for starting out with that rather simple, clear statement, and a little story to go with it.

     Many (too many) years ago when I was newly married, one of my high school chums called me and asked if he could come to my house to explain something to me that he thought important for me to know about. Having not seen him for a while, I said “Sure, why not”.

     He soon arrived, along with an older man. Both were all dressed up, carrying briefcases. He introduced the man as his sales manager, and explained that since he (my friend) was new to this thing that he thought was important for me to learn about, he had brought his manager along to make sure I got the best possible understanding of this matter.

     Well, I felt rather honored that my old friend would pick me to learn about this important subject, so I gave his manager my full attention. This manager started right off with drawing some lines on some paper, explaining that I was here, and of course I wanted to get there, drawing as he talked, a line from the lower left of the paper to the upper right corner of the paper. He further added that I, of course, wanted to establish an estate. But it would take a long time, because I didn’t have a lot of money. Right then, I knew he had one thing right - I didn’t have a lot of money.

     However, this “estate” thing that he seemed so sure I wanted, I had never before even considered wanting. “Estate”, to my mind, was a large parcel of land with a castle, or at least a mansion, surrounded by a high stone wall, or at least a wrought iron fence with a locked gate. My degree of interest immediately dropped a few notches, as I was more interested in a cozy little cabin in the woods with a brook flowing by, a far cry from what I envisioned an “estate” to be.

     He next drew a line from the top left of the paper to the lower right, The two lines criss-crossed in the center of the paper, and he explained that with the plan they had, I would be able to immediately rise straight up from the bottom left of the paper to the top left of the paper, thereby eliminating all the time it would normally take to establish this estate. Whoopy-ding-ding. And all he would need would be $200.00 per month to achieve this miraculous feat.

     By now my eyes were beginning to glaze over and I felt like a fever was setting in. He continued explaining how the top line would be descending down to the bottom right, but to make up for it, the lower line would be ascending to the upper right. All I could think of was that this man wanted me to give him $200.00 every month to see those lines keep criss-crossing. Wow! Whoopy-ding-ding-dong-dong-dooby-doo. All this to apparently get this “estate” that I could see no conceivable use for.

     I guess my friend and his manager left that night wondering how I could possibly fail to see the importance of jumping all over that wonderful plan. Ironically, not many years later I became an agent for that same insurance company and investment company, and sold many of those very same plans which were a combination of decreasing term life insurance along with a good monthly investment savings vehicle, which is indeed a most wonderful way to establish an estate.

     The problem was, they assumed an “estate” meant the same thing to me, as it did to them, which it did not. They never bothered to find out if I new what they meant by an “estate”, or to explain to me why it was important that I have one. If they had bothered to explain that I would be giving that $200.00 to myself each month, (with them taking out a little to pay themselves for their efforts, of course) I might have warmed up pretty quickly to the idea of me paying myself first, each month.

     The moral of my story is that if I expect someone to hand over hard earned money to me, I’d better  darned well make sure that they understand what the benefits are for them, and then my product had darned well better deliver those benefits. Thats why I’ve increased my satisfaction money back no questions asked guarantee to one full year. If you read my blogs and my website, and still have questions about what buckwheat pillows provide in the way of comfort, healthy sleep, and the most economical (I didn’t say cheapest) pillow you can buy, then please contact me and ask questions. I’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Remember, the only dumb question is the one you don’t ask. You have a great day.

A BUCKWHEAT PILLOW - BEST EVER SLEEPING PILLOW

     Have you ever had an idea, or knowledge of something that you just want to shout from the roof tops? Something you just know will improve and change every one’s life for the better. But you have one problem - not very many people listen. Those who do listen, and act on what they hear, come back and say “Why aren’t you telling everybody about this? This is fantastic.”

     This is the one reaction I get when I get on my soapbox about buckwheat pillows. Another result is that some of the people that hear me pass me off as either some kind of snake oil salesman, a raving lunatic, or, at best, a harmless simpleton.

     That somewhat describes my quest to promote buckwheat pillows. I do get to talk to enough of my customers to know that those who hear me and actually act on my advice re buckwheat pillows now appreciate buckwheat pillows as much as I do, so I know I’m not really all alone or delusional regarding buckwheat pillows.

     However, it’s still frustrating to realize that there are still so few people who invest in the  seemingly obvious benefits of sleeping on buckwheat pillows, when literally everyone could be profiting from their use. I feel so inept at being unable to have this knowledge disseminated to every living person.

     I realize that the importance of enjoying the benefits of sleeping on a buckwheat pillow pale in comparison to, say, a vaccination against all forms of cancer. but the point is that I have the answer to the best ever sleeping pillow, and I don’t have the formulae for a cancer vaccine, so I’m working with what I have to make the world a better place.

     I appreciate any help I can get in spreading the word about the benefits of buckwheat pillows. Of course you have to be experiencing those benefits yourself before you could possibly have the conviction necessary to be effective in your promotion of them.

     In other words, “Practice what you preach.” It is imperative that you sleep each night on a buckwheat pillow. Then you will know exactly where I am coming from on this blog post. Have the best sleep ever.
