A pillow can make or break your sleep. Most Western pillows are either overstuffed-pushing the head too high--or too mushy--not supporting the neck well. The right size pillow is essential for proper neck alignment. Asians seem to know their stuff when it comes to pillows, just like they know how to sit. Buckwheat pillows have long been used in Asia for therapeutic neck alignment while sleeping. With the neck kept the same angle as when properly standing/walking, breathing comes much easier and thus more oxygen during the average 8 hours we spend sleeping per night.

The Japanese have used buckwheat hulls, also known as sobakawa or sobagara husks, in pillows for over 600 years. Buckwheat pillows have been recognized for their benefit to persons suffering from Sleeplessness, headaches, neck pain, low back pain, muscle tension, stress, snoring, and other aliments.

Buckwheat pillows are not only effective in relieving or reducing pain, they are also much more efficient in maintaining a constant, comfortable temperature. The buckwheat husks keep you cool when it is hot and keep you warm when it is cold.
