Details
Buckwheat Pillows are a long lasting investment!
-
Support and stability of Buckwheat Hull Pillows have been understood in Japan for centuries. Hulls shift within the pillow molding the surface to the unique curvature of your neck, cradling the head perfectly as it aligns the spine. By keeping the spine in the neutral position & supporting the neck & head - the pillow relieves strain & stress in the muscles and naturally opens airways. Which provides an uninterrupted & more restorative sleep (which can also help with neck pain, headaches, and snoring).
- Organic 100% Botanical Buckwheat Hulls do not retain heat; their granular nature allows air to pass through and surround them, keeping your head cool during the night. Unlike many other pillow fills.
- Buckwheat Hull pillows will not collapse or lose volume while you sleep.
- Providing sustained support for the neck, head, and shoulders all night long.
- Eco Friendly, 100% organic buckwheat hulls
