Buckwheat hull pillows naturally contour to your head and neck, helping to keep your spine properly aligned and allowing your neck and back muscles to fully relax during sleep. The hulls are 100% chemical-free, hypoallergenic, and resistant to mold, mildew, heat, and dust mites, making them an excellent natural sleep solution for allergy sufferers.

You can unzip the buckwheat chamber and add or remove hulls anytime to customize your preferred firmness and loft level.
With proper care, The Futon Shop's Organic Wool & Buckwheat Bed Pillow has an average lifespan of 10 years, making it a highly durable and long-lasting investment compared to conventional synthetic pillows. The eco-friendly, renewable buckwheat hulls and wool fill maintain their shape and support much longer when aired out regularly and kept away from machine washing.
Yes, at checkout you can choose between buckwheat support on the side or buckwheat support in the center, depending on your preferred sleeping position and comfort style. This unique customizable fill placement makes it suitable for both side sleepers and those who prefer central neck support throughout the night.
Machine washing is not recommended for this natural organic pillow as it can damage both the wool and buckwheat hull fill. Simply air it out in the sun periodically to refresh and ventilate the materials naturally, and for the organic cotton pillowcase, use cold water wash with line dry only to preserve the fabric quality.
