Buckwheat Pillows

Money Saving Buckwheat Pillows

     It doesn’t make any sense (cents) to not buy a buckwheat pillow. Hear me out.

     It’s time for you to retire your conventional pillow. “How so?”, you ask. I’ll bet you’ve had your pillow for at least 6 months. The experts say you should replace your pillow every 6 months due to dust mite infestations.

     Did you know that (I’m going to insert here a disclaimer, because I can not verify this statement and I think it may be stretching the point) up to 20% of the weight of a 2 year old pillow consists of dust mite feces and dead bodies? No wonder experts say it’s best to replace your pillow after 6 months of use. I think I could come to that conclusion myself, couldn’t you? Unless, of course, you’re one of those enlightened people who have a buckwheat pillow, because you know that this 6 month rule doesn’t apply to buckwheat pillows.

     You do have other choices, but they’re not  good ones. First of all, if you choose any other pillow, you deprive yourself of all the other advantages of sleeping on a buckwheat pillow, like the total sleeping comfort they provide, the ventilation of air through the pillow, the hypoallergenic properties, and the cervical alignment benefit.

     In addition, to combat the dust mite infestation, you’d have to either get a pillow with a cover that is impervious to dustmite penetration, which would mean it is either virtually ventilation proof, or else it is treated with noxious chemicals to kill or repel dust mites. In the first instance, between the insulating characteristics of foam or feather fillings plus their nearly total lack of any ventilation, your pillow would totally insulate the heat of your head from escaping your body, and you would be totally miserable.

     In the second instance, you would be resting your head on, and breathing in, all the noxious carcinogens contained in the anti dustmite chemicals. Talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

     But back to my original premise. The answer to this problem is sublimely simple. Just replace your old conventional pillows with quality buckwheat pillows.

     From an economical standpoint, instead of replacing your old conventional pillows every 6 months, once about every 15 years you replace your buckwheat pillows, and then only if you actually wear out your pillow covers. So you’ll save the cost of your pillows 30 times over, plus you’ll get all the amazing added benefits of buckwheat pillows.

     I’ve asked before for people to refute my recommendations with their own facts or thoughts. So far no one has obliged. Just buy a buckwheat pillow and be happy. It’s just that simple.
