When times are good, it”s relatively easy to justify giving rewards, even sometimes for no particular reason. But in tougher times, we tend to be a little tighter with the purse strings, and understandably so.
Buckwheat Pillows

BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS - NO CONTEST
Buckwheat pillows really have no valid rivals. I was working today on a FAQ (frequently asked questions) page for my website. I was trying to answer the question “Why should anyone want to sleep on a buckwheat pillow rather than a conventional pillow?”.
Seems like a pretty simple, straight forward question. However, the answer is anything but simple. I started off by breaking it down into segments. I started each segment off with a bold-ed key word. I found I just didn’t realize how far over the top, in comparison to conventional pillows, buckwheat pillows really are. It took me the best part of 2 pages to answer 4 questions, and most of it was on that one question.
I’m not going to try to answer it here again. If you want to know why you should buy a buckwheat pillow rather than a conventional pillow, just click here.
BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS FOR PETS
Buckwheat pillows are on my mind a lot. In that twilight zone where I’m not quite still asleep, but not quite fully awake, I often have rather interesting ideas. While in that stage this morning, I thought “What about buckwheat pillows for pets?”.
BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS-You Just Have To Love Them
How can you experience a buckwheat pillow and not fall in love with it? Well, it ain’t easy.
ORGANIC BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS
ORGANIC BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS VS CERTIFIED BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS.
Most people now understand the significance of organic, but then there is certified organic. Buckwheat pillows are affected a little differently than most other items in regard to these two similar but different labels.
Organic means that no chemical fertilizers or fungicides, or pesticides, or any other unnatural chemicals for whatever purposes may be used in the propagation of the crop .
Certified organic means the same thing except that a strict regimen set by the government must be followed and verified, actually starting some years before said crop is even planted, and regulations even apply to a certain area surrounding the actual crop land. As you can imagine, this process is very costly, but in most cases, especially those involving food crops, is a necessary and useful tool to discourage fraudulent organic claims. Unfortunately, this results in much higher prices for the product.
Buckwheat, however, is one of several crops that really don’t benefit from this certified organic regimen, because it really doesn’t need the expensive chemical fertilizers, fungicides, and pesticides, that most crops benefit from. If a farmer doesn’t derive a benefit from using chemicals to get a good crop, he’s not going to, because these chemicals are very expensive.
I’m not saying that there couldn’t possibly be some slight difference occasionally between some buckwheat hulls labeled “Organic”, and some labeled “Certified Organic”, but we’re not talking about a food crop here. The difference in price would be huge, and only because of the great expense of involving the government verification so they could legally add “Certified” to their label. If we apply some common sense, it just doesn’t seem to me that any slight perceptible difference only discernible in a laboratory test, is worth the hugh difference in the cost of the organic buckwheat pillow, vs the certified organic buckwheat pillow.
To paraphrase a popular TV channel slogan, “I report, you decide”. Whichever you choose, an ”organic” or “certified organic” buckwheat pillow, you can rest easy knowing you’re going to have the best sleep you can get.

Probably the most universally accepted reason why people find buckwheat pillows to be their first choice of pillows after they have experienced sleeping on them is that they just simply can find no other pillow that can produce the sheer quality of comfort in sleeping that is provided by the buckwheat pillow, regardless of what sleeping position they may choose.
If you can find a more satisfying pillow, go buy it. Good luck.
A Buckwheat Pillow - A Wise College Investment
Are you, or someone you know, college bound? College can be a lot of fun and a lot of stress at the same time. One thing that can contribute to stress is a lack of quality sleep.
First of all, there’s always a lack of time at college, so you really need to take the best possible advantage of your precious sleep time. That’s where a quality buckwheat pillow can be a life saver.
No other pillow can get you off to that all important REM (rapid eye movement) sleep so quickly, and just as importantly, keep you there until you’ve gotten a full night’s worth of quality, rejuvenating sleep. That’s the only way you’ll be ready for that first morning class blue book, or that boring professor that tries so hard to put you back to sleep.
If you’re the one heading to college, maybe you should drop some broad hints to your parents expounding on all the advantages of having a buckwheat pillow to help you get the best possible grades for their well spent tuition dollars. Best of success in your new venture.
BUCKWHEAT PILLOWS - A Pillow Revolution
Buckwheat Pillows, buckwheat hull pillows, sobakawa pillows, makura pillows, buckwheat bed pillows, buckwheat travel pillows, buckwheat neck pillows, buckwheat king size bed pillows, buckwheat queen size bed pillows, buckwheat twin size bed pillows, buckwheat full size bed pillows, buckwheat standard size bed pillows, buckwheat yoga pillows, buckwheat meditation pillows - all testify to the growing popularity of this new - ancient pillow phenomenome.
While they originated 2 - 3000 years ago in Asia, they have become discovered in N America, first in Canada, and now in the US. The quality organic, hypoallergenic, triple vacuumed, buckwheat pillows with a concealed nylon zipper have virtually no competition as far as performance and versatility are concerned. Buckwheat pillows are superior to all other varieties of pillows in all respects, and I believe it’s just a matter of time until they virtually replace the other more familiar type pillows.
I think that the lack of knowledge of the buckwheat pillow’s existence is the only thing that temporarily prevents them from having already replaced the outdated styles of pillows. With the advent of social media that lack of knowledge will likely fade rapidly into oblivion.
So join the revolution and enjoy the benefits of a modern buckwheat pillow.
The Sweet Smell of Sleep
For many people, certain smells conjure up profound feelings and memories. The smell of oranges might remind a transplanted Floridian of home, just as the smell of lilacs might call to mind a spring vacation to Michigan’s Mackinac Island. But scents are often associated with more than just a place – they also evoke a state of mind. This is the philosophy behind aromatherapy sachets and pillows
Scents such as lavendar and chamomile have been shown to reduce stress and improve relaxation. As such, they make the perfect supplements for a buckwheat pillow. After a night spent with these aromatic sleep aids, many people report a deeply satisfying and refreshing experience.
NATURAL SOUND SLEEP
It’s a fact of life today that a lot of us have trouble falling asleep. Maybe worse, it may be that we have trouble staying asleep.
Too many people turn to a pill to help them sleep. All drugs have side effects, even sleeping pills. Their effectiveness usually wears off after a while, resulting in your needing more and more of them to provide the desired effect. By that time you are dependent on them. It’s a vicious cycle.
I realize sometimes we have no choice other than turning to pills, but sometimes people have choices, and they make the wrong one. When you have a choice, go natural. Buckwheat pillows have provided natural sleeping relief for many people, some of whom had already tried the sleeping pill route.
I know it seems rather simplistic that a simple buckwheat pillow could be the answer to your sleeping problems, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Even if you found that it didn’t completely solve your sleeping problem, you still end up with the most comfortable, rejuvenating sleep you’ve ever experienced, even if you had to use a sleeping pill to get you there.
