Buckwheat Pillows

     Here is a short, to the point, resume’ of how the benefits of buckwheat pillows surpass those of conventional foam or feather pillows.

     A. Comfort

          1. Malleability - They conform to and support your head and neck in any position. They do not try to return to their own predetermined shape.

           2. Ventilation - The buckwheat hulls allow air circulation through the pillow, thus preventing heat build up in your pillow.

           3. Individualized comfort adjustment - The concealed nylon zipper in quality buckwheat pillows allow each person to adjust their pillow to their own individual comfort volume. They are very compatible with the new adjustable comfort mattresses now becoming so popular.

            4. Cooling of the head - If you wish, you can cool your buckwheat pillow in a refrigerator or freezer, and it will effectively cool your head for some time. Heating is also possible, but I do not recommend it for reasons of safety.

             5. Forget all of the above - Just try sleeping on one. The difference in sleeping comfort will be so obvious you’ll forget all about the reasons why, and you’ll just thank your lucky stars that you have been so fortunate as to have discovered a pillow so blissfully comfortable to sleep on.

     B. Health

          1. Naturally organic - Because buckwheat grows well on poorer soils, and benefits very little from chemical fertilizers, growers do not waste their money applying chemical fertilizers. It also has few, if any, fungal or insect type enemies. This makes chemical pesticides and fungicides also to be not cost effective. Thus it just makes economic sense for buckwheat growers to go organic.

             2. Naturally dust mite infestation free - Buckwheat hulls provide no support for dust mite infestations. Dust mite infestations are universal in all other types of pillows, unless they are either sealed in plastic, or treated with chemical pesticides, both of which are detrimental to health. Dust mite cadavers and feces literally add significant weight to conventional pillows, and produce allergens which contribute to asthma problems as well as allergy attacks to susceptible people.

              3. Hypoallergenic - While buckwheat flour may contain allergens to which a very small percentage of people are allergic, quality buckwheat pillows undergo a special vacuuming process which removes all traces of this flour, thereby rendering them hypoallergenic. Beware of cheap imported buckwheat pillows which have not undergone this vacuuming process.

               4. Pain relief - The support provided to the head and neck muscles deliver relief from muscle and nerve tension in this area, and many find relief from neck and shoulder pain as well as from tension headaches and other discomforts.

     C. Economics

            1. Quality buckwheat pillows last a long time - ten to fifteen years. Conventional pillows, due to their dust mite infestations, are advisedly replaced periodically - some health experts recommending every six months. A quality pillow, whether conventional or buckwheat, costs about the same. So when you then compare the longevity factor, you can see the huge economic advantage of buckwheat pillows over conventional pillows.

INDESCRIBABLE COMFORT

    My grandson-in-law was trying to describe to me how he slept on his buckwheat pillow. I couldn’t picture in my mind, what he was trying to describe, but I did understand what he was telling me. Does that sound like an oxymoron? Let me try to explain.

     Maybe he wasn’t good enough in his explanation, or perhaps I wasn’t good enough in my comprehension. However it didn’t really matter, as I had experienced the substance of what he was trying to explain from having slept on my own buckwheat pillow. So you can see why it really didn’t matter that I couldn’t totally understand his word picture that he was trying to paint.

     The important thing, in this case, was that I understood the concept before he even started trying to explain, simply because I had already had the same experience.

     He was trying to describe to me how uniquely his pillow fit his particular style of sleeping. I doubt there are any two people who position their head and neck exactly the same way on their buckwheat pillow. The pillow doesn’t dictate the position it’s used in, the individual does.

     This probably all seems rather irrelevant and somewhat boring if you’ve never experienced sleeping on a buckwheat pillow, but if you have, I’m sure you understand what I’m talking about. But right now I’m making the assumption that I’m writing for someone who hasn’t had this experience.

     How about I just get to the point, and confess that I find it almost impossible, just as my grandson-in-law did, to describe the intimate way that your head and neck can connect with, and be so comfortably supported by a mere pillow.

     Therein lies my biggest challenge. How in the world can I convey the luxurating quality of comfort produced by one of these pillows to someone who has not yet experienced it, when two people who have experienced it can not successfully describe it to each other? If I were ever able to accomplish that, I would be able to sell buckwheat pillows faster than I would be able to spend the profits made by selling them.

     To me, this is a quandary. How can I convince people to buy a product that I find impossible to adequately describe as to it’s indescribable sleeping comfort?

     My attempt at a solution to this is to give my money back guarantee of satisfaction. If you don’t find my pillows to be to your satisfaction, return them within thirty days, and I will return your money. At this point in time, that is my only solution. If you feel that is a fair offer, order your buckwheat pillows today.

Start Living A New Life

     A buckwheat pillow could just be your ticket to a new lease on life. I know so many people who have become just a “stick in the mud”. They’ve become so “stuck in a rut” that their life just has to be boring. Remember the old song “Life Gets Tedious, Doesn’t  it?” Life doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t, be that way.

     However, inertia is a formidable adversary when it comes to breaking out of that suffocating routine. But if you’re ever going to get out of it, you’ve got to start somewhere.

     I have a suggestion. Start by buying a buckwheat pillow. Now, I’m assuming you’ve probably never heard of a buckwheat pillow, or if you have, you probably don’t really know what they are. So investing in one would be the first step in breaking out of your old hum drum status quo way of life.

     It’s a relatively easy, but different and unfamiliar step, which is what you need to do to start breaking out of your shell. It starts to break down that inertia I wrote about earlier. Once you’ve experienced all the good, comfortable sleep that results from that choice, it will be a positive incentive to make more innovative decisions which will pull you a little further out of your rut. It may encourage you to take some more drastic steps, like eating some grilled asparagus (it’s delicious), or taking a ride on a ferry (it’s fun).

     The sky is the limit. You might take a course in growing bonsai trees, (an ancient japanese art of stunting the growth of trees to make tiny miniature ones), or learn to play a musical instrument. What the heck, enroll in college or run for political office. People just don’t realize the potential that can result from buying that first buckwheat pillow.

Best Sleep Ever

     People buy things for many reasons. Any saleable item may have a number of attributes that make it attractive to would be purchasers. But there is usually one feature which influences more people to invest in a particular item than any other.

     In the case of buckwheat pillows, that number one attribute is its ability to provide incomparable sleep because of its unsurpassed comfort, which I shorten to “sleeping comfort”

     There are many other reasons for buckwheat pillows to be attractive to potential customers, and indeed many are purchased due to these various other features. I personally think some of the other reasons, such as the health and economic issues, should be at least as influential in buying buckwheat pillows as sleeping comfort, but that’s like saying the truth should be more important to a politician than getting re-elected. That’s just not the way it works.

     Having said all that, I certainly don’t mean to detract from the sleeping comfort aspect of buying a buckwheat pillow, as anyone who has experienced sleeping on one can appreciate.

     The adjustable volume which provides individual comfort choices, the malleability which allows for head and neck support in whatever position you choose, and the ventilation factor of the buckwheat hulls, all combine to provide a pillow which is incomparable regarding the comfort of the sleep they provide. Some may add to that the added benefit of cooling them in the refrigerator or freezer.

     So, regardless of which reason influences a would be purchaser the most, the really fortunate fact is that they need not make a choice, because upon making a purchase they acquire all of the features. However, you won’t acquire any of these attributes just by reading about them. You get your rewards only upon the purchase of your pillow, so order your buckwheat pillow right now.
