Buckwheat Pillows

Lavender Aromatherapy

Buckwheat pillows are not soft! Surprised?

Soft pillows filled with down, foam, feathers, etc. are very soft. They feel really good for a while, but then they start to feel hot. A little longer, and the weight of your head has compressed the filling at the lowest part of your head until it can compress no further. So now the portion of your head that is at the lowest point has compressed the filling to where it is now beginning to feel hard.

Okay, so you reposition your head. Soon another spot on your head is making its new hard spot. Darn – have to change positions again. This could go on all night until exhaustion mercifully puts you to sleep. But it doesn’t take too long until the mounting pressure on still another hard spot causes you to shift again, although you may not fully waken. And so goes the long night.

The buckwheat pillow solves this problem by not being soft. Instead, it is malleable. The buckwheat hulls provide support to the entire area of your head in contact with the pillow, spreading the pressure over that whole area, not concentrating it on one small spot. That provides a huge difference in comfort, letting you sleep fully and comfortably throughout the night.

Meanwhile, the ventilating ability of the buckwheat hulls is keeping your head cool. I realize this may not be the most perfect explanation of how a buckwheat pillow accomplishes its near magical feat of sleeping comfort, but it’s the closest I can come to explaining it.

Actually, it must be experienced to believe it, and that’s a very good reason to buy one right now.
