Iโve been on a quest for the perfect pillow for years.
Finally, back in 2016, my family and I went to Japan when I was pregnant of my third girl, and I slept on a strange pillow, that smell delicious and I slept like a baby, without neck pain, and with a cool head. When we were back in Italy I was close to the due date and to our move to California was so close that I forgot to search one.
Over the last years, the same pillow is making its way to the United States so I finally get mine soba gara makura i.e. the buckwheat pillow from pinetales.
A buckwheat pillow is a natural and eco-friendly product, filled with buckwheat (sobakawa in Japanese).
What is Buckwheat?
Buckwheat is not a type of grain like wheat. It is a fruit whose closest relative is known as rhubarb. It is similar to a sunflower seed, which has a hard outer shell known as hull that protects the buckwheat seed. Buckwheat is one of the ancient crops which has an important role in the history of mankind.
As a pillow filling, it adapts to your head and neck and holds the shape.
The Benefits of a Buckwheat Pillow
A buckwheat pillow guarantees a restful nights sleep as they perfectly adjust to the shape of your head and neck.
The natural buckwheat pillows fully support your head, neck, and shoulders leaving you without any upper or lower back pain in the morning.
Apart from Japanese, people of different countries can enjoy better sleep by using buckwheat pillows. Following are the benefits which people can get by using it:
โข Helps in reducing the stress of your spine and neck
โข Helps you to feel energized and rejuvenated after a long good nightโs sleep
โข Cervical and lumbar problems can be treated
โข Useful for people with allergies from synthetic fillers in pillows
โข Durable and last for several years in your homes
โข Donโt reflect or conduct heat
My conclusion
The benefits of a buckwheat pillow are varied and well worth the consideration. They are comforting and have a myriad of benefits that can help support your overall health. Although they may take a bit of getting used to, 3 to 7 days they have its use all figured out, and the noise is no longer even noticeable to them. With claims to help provide proper posture, headache-and-migraine relief, and reduce snoring, this is definitely worth considering to help you get a proper nightโs rest.
