Buckwheat hull pillows - The best pillow to support your head and neck
Most importantly buckwheat pillows provide excellent support for the head, neck and back because the hulls conform to the weight and shape of the body during sleep. Buckwheat pillows also provide natural air circulation between individual hulls, resulting in ideal temperatures for peaceful sleeping. In other words it is cool in summer and warm in winter.
Buckwheat pillows have become the preferred cushion for yoga students, but are now commonly used by all sorts of people. In fact some of the swankiest hotels worldwide have begun offering buckwheat pillows to their guests as an alternative because of their increased popularity.
Manufacturers of buckwheat pillows have expanded their lines. Aside from the standard bed pillow, buckwheat pillows are available in full-body sizes similar to a futon. They are also offered as keyboard wrist rests, eye pillows, travel pillows, and neck-rolls. There are even tubular buckwheat pillows with straps, used for lumbar support while driving, working, or sitting at a desk. Some manufacturers have taken to adding herbs, such as lavender and chamomile, to the buckwheat hulls to add a touch of aromatherapy.
Many healthcare professionals have also started recommending buckwheat pillows to patients suffering from such conditions as migraines, snoring, insomnia and menopausal night sweats.

I recommend buying buckwheat pillows because...
I believe that the buckwheat hull pillow is the best pillow I have ever used, and trust me, I've tried quite a few. The buckwheat hulls comfortably mold to the shape that your head, neck and/or shoulders compress them into, while still providing great support.If you have issues with your neck and shoulders after sleeping, as I do but less so as I sleep with this pillow, then I highly recommend this pillow to you, though it may not be quite as useful for those of you who switch positions often or are otherwise physically restless before sleep or during the night as it takes a few minutes for it the hulls to settle into position.
Snorers please note: The buckwheat pillow GREATLY reduced my snoring when I sleep on my side, thus I get a better night's rest (and so does my spouse).
