Buckwheat Pillows

Buckwheat Pillows - A 2 - 3,000 Year History

Buckwheat Pillows certainly are not a flash in the pan, as they were in use in Japan and other oriental countries two to three thousand years ago. It’s relatively new only to the western areas of the world. They seem to have been introduced into Canada about a century ago, and are more recently becoming popular in the US.

If you Google “buckwheat pillow” now, you come up with more than 117,000 websites. Back about 15 years or so ago, I heard about buckwheat pillows somewhere, and I had a hard time tracking them down, although that may have been because I didn’t really know how to use a computer. I ended up buying the buckwheat hulls and some muslin, and getting a lady to make one for me. I’m still using it to this day.

 Buckwheat pillows are becoming more and more popular today as the benefits become more widely known. So I can safely assure you that buckwheat pillows are not a flash in the pan.
