Many people don’t experience the fullest enjoyment of their buckwheat pillows, at least at first, because they have them too full.
Many merchants purposely overfill their buckwheat pillows because first impressions are important. People who are used to regular pillows are used to seeing a plump, full, pillow. If they open a box and see a rather flat, under filled pillow some will immediately return them, or at least say “Hey! I’m being ripped off here”.
I counter this with an overfilled pillow and an instruction sheet advising them to remove nearly 1/2 of the buckwheat hulls, along with a plastic bag to facillitate their removal and storage.
But there is a problem. Many people don’t read instructions. They use their new pillow right out of the box without reading the instructions. Now they find it too firm and unyielding.
The hulls must have room inside the cover to freely move and shape themselves to your head and neck. To get any additional desired height or loft to the pillow, you just push inward on the ends of the pillow and it will “bunch up” in the center.If this sounds complicated, don’t worry. It’s just what you naturally feel like doing to a pillow that’s not as fat as you’d like it. The good thing is that on a buckwheat pillow it works wonderfully well.
But don’t take my word for it. Buy a buckwheat pillow and try it for yourself. You’ll really be glad you did.
