Organic Buckwheat Pillow – Queen Size
Product Description
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate that you are taking the time to look here. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ In Japan when we want pillows we go to a pillow maker. Unfortunately for me, while living in this country I found it virtually impossible to find an authentic Japanese buckwheat pillow, so I decided to create and manufacture my own based on my own lifetime experience. I have been using… More >>

I wasn’t prepared for how HEAVY these pillows are – They are comfortable for sleep, but they are truly a lump on your bed. If you are a fan of light and fluffy down pillows, this is not for you. I bought them for their benefits in absorbing moisture. I am not sure I would purchase again, only because they are clumsy to handle (getting pillow cases on and off) and arranging on the bed.

I would 1st like to say that the company is helpful and nice. I bought this pillow cause of the reviewers saying they had a bad neck and it helped them.
I guess they really don’t have a bad of a neck as they thought. All this did was flair up my neck problems to the point I got zero sleep 1st night and neck pains all day long the 2nd night. (I no longer use the pillow)
They are generous with the buckwheat they give you (very generous) I removed about 80% of the buckwheat by night 2. The thinner pillow helped a lot. However, this is just not my kind of pillow.
CONS:
The buckwheat makes noises in your ears if you are a side sleeper. (sounds like popcorn or rice crispies in milk) any time you move.
The pillow does conform to you no matter if you sleep on your back or your side. However, what these other users dont tell you is you have to wrestle with the buckwheat to get it laid out nice and neat inside before you are comfortable. If the wheat is lumped up real high it stays bulged until you tailor the wheat to shape to your head better. .. this is a pillow at bed time.. i don’t need more at the end of the day just to sleep.
Also someone said that these pillows are “cool” to sleep on. I am Mr. Air conditioner and even in this ice box I call a home, the pillow gets sweaty just like all other pillows. When you try to flip this pillow in your 1/2 awakened sleep state.. I can tell you its not as easy as any other pillow.. since the buckwheat goes spilling inside the case every which direction (plus its weight fights you and I am a strong person) Its just unwieldy and wonky weight inside.. so no quick flips. I had to grab it at the top edges to flip it around .. then pat the wheat back down to human levels…
As i said this isn’t for me… Think twice about this if you never used buckwheat before. Especially if you have neck problems.. its very unhealthy.

This pillow takes a little getting used to. At first I thought that maybe I should return it but it’s been about 3 weeks since I’ve purchased it…the pillow has broken in rather nicely and I must say that I fall asleep much quicker using this buckwheat pillow versus the memory foam pillow I had been using. I have two herniated discs in my neck so I’m always open to try new products that may improve my sleep quality and align my neck and spine while I sleep. So far so good with this pillow…

Read a lot of reviews before purchasing this pillow. Other reviewers comment on how fast the shipping was, but took over a week to recieve. This aside I am growing to really like this pillow. It is unlike any other pillow I have owned previously. It feels like a one of those small bean bags that I used to play with in elementary school. It is not soft by any means, but very supportive. I can anticipate this pillow lasting a very long time without ever losing its’ ability to support. I have had this pillow for over a month now and am starting to miss it when I go out of town for business. If you can give it some time to get used to, this is a very good pillow for those who go through pillows often. I have had shoulder surgery and had problems staying asleep and waking up not sore. I find this pillow is staying firm and helping with my restless sleep.

This pillow will blow you away. I bought a buckwheat pillow some years back as “seen on TV” and liked the support it gave me. I had one problem though, it was poorly made and the sewn seam came apart and made a huge mess all over my bed. I patched it up and put it in a “pillow protector” and made due. My wife made the mistake of washing the pillow, 72 bean instructions say do NOT do this, and so I began my search to replace my beloved pillow. After checking several sites I decided to order the 72 Bean Queen sized pillow. It was delivered and boy was I supprised. This pillow is VERY well made. It weighs a ton because of the size but is so well made it should last for three or four times longer than the ones shone on TV years ago. Worth every penny!!!
