Let’s Try This - I’m Not Sure You Could Handle The Euphoria

Buckwheat Pillows-Euphoria

Buckwheat Pillows-Euphoria

I wish I could analyze what causes anyone who has heard all the reasons why they should be experiencing the benefits of sleeping on a buckwheat pillow, to still refrain from buying one. I go back through my website and blog posts and try to figure out what would cause that.

While it’s true that more and more people are indeed switching to buckwheat pillows, it just seems as though there must be something that is preventing a wholesale stampede to buckwheat pillow use.

I guess those of us who have experienced the pleasure and comfort of sleeping on a buckwheat pillow, simply feel frustrated that despite our accolades, some of our friends are just not swallowing our testimonials hook, line, and sinker.

I perceive that people are just naturally skeptical, and change is a fearsome thing to many. Even our very best intentions and good wishes for our friends will not miraculously make them suddenly embrace all our beliefs.

I know that I myself do not like to be told what to do or how to live my life. I want to “do it my way”. I have the attitude that I’d rather do it my way and be wrong, than do it your way, even though it may be right.

I realize that you’re not going to believe me when I tell you that I actually have no degree in psychology, but I really don’t. Nevertheless, I realize that I have just analyzed the minds of all our friends, thus answering my own question about why everyone is not breaking the doors down at every store that sells buckwheat pillows.

I love it when that happens.

Now, if I could just figure out how to solve the problem I have just unearthed. Perhaps reverse psychology would work. Let’s just tell all our friends that buckwheat pillows are the best thing that’s ever happened to us (except for our spouses, if we’re married), but that they probably wouldn’t really be ready to handle the euphoria that results from sleeping on buckwheat pillows.

I wonder - would that really work?

Buckwheat Pillows As Compared To A 2 - Holer

Buckwheat Pillows Todays New Standard
Buckwheat Pillows Todays New Standard

I’d been trying to think of some way to compare buckwheat pillows as a new modern standard, as opposed to something else that used to be thought of as a new fangled luxury that has become an accepted necessity, and I’ve thought of one - the old 2-holer out house.

I was born in the “Great Depression”, when life was quite different. I lived in rural Pennsylvania, and still do. Both my sets of grandparents were farmers, and one grandmother also taught 8 grades in a 1 room school house. My mother also taught 8 grades in a 1 room school house and my dad farmed, but I digress.
The standard sanitary facility of the day was the ubiquitous 2 holer outhouse. The idea of having a toilet inside your living quarters was viewed as either abhorrent, or as a somewhat risque luxury. Few people thought it would “catch on”. Most people who did put a toilet (bathroom) inside their house still retained the 2-holer to keep some semblance of decency. Only a few people saw the future of the bathroom.
But move forward 70 years, and an in use outhouse would provide a good item for a scavenger hunt - after you explained to the younger participants just what it was you were looking for.
One obvious advantage of the indoor facilities was the convenience of not risking having your toilet deposited along with assorted farm wagons, corn shocks, hay rakes, and scare crows in the middle of a nearby village square on Halloween night.
My point is, that while buckwheat pillows may be still viewed by many today as a new fangled fad, a few years down the road the feather and foam pillows may be remembered as an outdated unsavory harbinger of dust mite infestations with their attendant allergy attacks, as we reminisce about our somewhat forgotten past.
Why put off enjoying a modern hypoallergenic convenience (er-ah-necessity)? Buy your buckwheat pillow now.

Various Orthopedic Pillows

While many people can use just about anything as a pillow and not experience pain, others have to be very careful about the type of pillow they use. For these people, chronic neck pain can truly hinder their day to day lives, making just about everything uncomfortable or difficult. For these sufferers, there has been a variety of orthopedic pillows produced. One of the most common types of orthopedic pillows is the lumbar pillow. This fits behind the small of your back while you’re in a sitting position. It helps alleviate back pain caused by sitting at a desk for long periods of time.

There is also the donut pillow, which you actually sit on. These are particularly helpful for anyone dealing with a tailbone injury or any kind of colon ailment. And for the frequent flyer, there is the travel pillow. These are typically U-shaped pillows that fit around the neck, but can also be small versions of a regular pillow. They are intended to stop the head from slipping or rolling into an uncomfortable position while sleeping in an upright, sitting position.

Buckwheat Pillows - Even More Versatile Than I Thought

Adjustable Volume Buckwheat Pillows = Versatility
Adjustable Volume Buckwheat Pillows = Versatility

No one is too old to learn. I had a prospective customer call me to find out if it was too late to have a buckwheat pillow shipped to reach him in time for Mother’s Day. Fed-Ex assured me that they would indeed have it delivered in time.

I called the man back to give him the good news, and as I always do, I advised him to remove a substantial amount of the hulls to find out what volume of hulls was most to his liking.
To my surprise , he answered, “I like them just the way you send them, right out of the box”. I thought to myself, “This guy really has no idea how fully filled I ship my pillows”. But then he said “I bought my first pillow from you, and it was perfect for me just as it was’. He explained that he had had a neck pain problem, and he found that if he put the fully filled pillow under his shoulders, and tilted the back of his head down over the back of the pillow, it gave him relief from his chronic neck pain.
So I learned something - once again the adjustability of my buckwheat pillows is of paramount importance in the therapeutic treatment of pain as well as the comfort of pure support. I have learned an important lesson. Don’t try to limit people’s ingenuity in adapting truly versatile items to their advantage. Perhaps you can take advantage too. Of course, you have to buy a buckwheat pillow first.

Certified Organic Buckwheat Pillow Too Expensive? Probably!

Buckwheat Neck Pillow

Buckwheat Neck Pillow

Surprised? Let me explain. Buckwheat is a unique plant in a number of ways. Most people think of it as a grain, but it is actually classified as a fruit. Most cultivated fruits require considerable care and pampering, thus they normally need to be fertilized, protected from insect pests, and protected from fungal and bacterial agents. Normally the method of protection against these is to use chemical sprays.

These chemicals cost money, but they are far offset by the increase in production. When crops are produced organically, you don’t have the costs of the chemicals, but the productivity is greatly reduced. Natural methods of providing nutrition and pest control can also be expensive, and the production is still considerably lower than when chemicals are used. Thus the temptation to use some chemicals and still call your products “organic” can be pretty strong for economic reasons.

That’s why the concept of “Certified Organic” is usually important if you want to be sure that what you buy is truely organic. To be designated as “Certified Organic”, a rigorous system of expensive government rules, regulations, and inspections is required, which results in certified organic products to be much more expensive. However, such is not the case with buckwheat. Why? Because buckwheat really doesn’t need any of the chemicals that nearly all other crops benefit from. It will grow on relatively poor soil, and has almost no insect, fungal, or bacterial enemies, so money spent on chemicals would be wasted.

The point is, farmers aren’t going to spend money on chemicals they don’t need to, so that means the buckwheat will be truly organic, even when it doesn’t carry the label of “certified organic”. So, in turn, you’re likely wasting your money if you pay the higher price that would need to be charged for a “certified organic” pillow as opposed to an “organic” buckwheat pillow. So you can safely buy a Buckwheat Glory organic Buckwheat Pillow. Everyone today needs to get the most bang for their buck(wheat) pillow.

So you can’t find a store that sells quality buckwheat pillows. Not a reason (an excuse, maybe) to not buy a buckwheat pillow. Why? Because Buckwheat Glory.com sells all sizes of buckwheat bed pillows, buckwheat travel pillows, and buckwheat neck pillows.

 They even include FREE an aromatherapy sachet with each pillow. You have a choice of lavender, camomile, or a blend of both. Their total cost for shipping and handling is only $9.97, no matter how many pillows you buy. That is less than the cost of shipping alone for one pillow. S & H on the rest of the order is completely free.

Why spend gas running around looking for a store that will sell you a buckwheat pillow, when you can save so much money and get a superior product on line? No, I’m afraid you can not use that as an excuse, let alone a reason, to not buy a buckwheat pillow.

I’ll make it really easy. Just click here to go to Buckwheat Glory .com. Do it now, before you forget. NOW.

Buckwheat Pillows Are Just A Flash In The Pan. Oh Yeah!

Buckwheat Pillows - A 2 - 3,000 Year History

Buckwheat Pillows - A 2 - 3,000 Year History

Buckwheat Pillows certainly are not a flash in the pan, as they were in use in Japan and other oriental countries two to three thousand years ago. It’s relatively new only to the western areas of the world. They seem to have been introduced into Canada about a century ago, and are more recently becoming popular in the US.

If you Google “buckwheat pillow” now, you come up with more than 117,000 websites. Back about 15 years or so ago, I heard about buckwheat pillows somewhere, and I had a hard time tracking them down, although that may have been because I didn’t really know how to use a computer. I ended up buying the buckwheat hulls and some muslin, and getting a lady to make one for me. I’m still using it to this day.

 Buckwheat pillows are becoming more and more popular today as the benefits become more widely known. So I can safely assure you that buckwheat pillows are not a flash in the pan.
