First and foremost, buckwheat pillows have become a popular sleep product since they truly do support proper posture and spinal alignment. When on your back and stomach, you need a thin pillow that holds your head level between your shoulders and also provides support to the gap created by the arch of your neck. Side sleepers need to hold their head high and between their shoulders and also have a proper material fill to fill the gap between their head and shoulders.
A buckwheat pillow is malleable and non-shifting to allow for a contouring to your unique body shape and comfort needs. It helps to allow the important cervical alignment, and when this positioning is achieved, your body is better able to relax and rest through the sleep stages uninterrupted.
Buckwheat pillow are filled with actual buckwheat hulls, which naturally move around inside its pillowcase throughout the night. In short, they offer superior support to your body; buckwheat hulls will mold perfectly to the shape of your head and neck. This allows you to have the right posture all night long, which is important for good head, neck, and spine alignment. You can also add or remove hulls to get the moldability just right.
They’re the best at controlling temperature (and you can put them in the freezer!)
