Pillows. How important are these to you?
Sleep is most important and we do not want backaches and neck pains in trying to get some much needed sleep. Is Buckwheat pillow the answer? It is a heavy in weight but but stays firm in whatever firm we shape it in. Thus there is no strain on the neck and back muscles.
Of course the goose feather pillows are so soft and fun but may not always be good.

Asian cultures have been sleeping on buckwheat pillows for hundreds of years, but it wasn't until the 1980s that western cultures began to appreciate the benefits of buckwheat pillows.
Buckwheat is commonly mistaken for a grain, while it is actually a fruit. Buckwheat (fagopyrum esculentum), is related to the rhubarb family. Buckwheat pillows are stuffed with hulls of buckwheat, the husks that protect the kernels. Buckwheat hulls are roasted to remove dust from the growing fields, before before being placed into the pillowslips.
