What is the most important thing to look for when purchasing a buckwheat hull pillow?

1. The absolute most important thing is to know your source; know who you are buying from.

2. beans72 <aka: Yumiko Oshima> was born in Tokyo and lived her entire life in Japan until moving to the USA in 1999 to start the pillow company that you have all come to enjoy. beans72 has a customer base that spans 4 continents and many islands in the Pacific Rim and Atlantic Ocean.

*Caution*
There are at least 6 known "buckwheat pillow companies" that have fraudulently copied our intellectual and copyrighted material, and one can only assume that they are trying to deceive the general public. It makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the materials used in these pillows or maybe the supposed manufacturer or seller are fly by night operators.
Buy from someone you can trust.


5. Know your source - Please! Don't be FOOLED by an IMMITATION.

6. Know your source - Virtually ALL the other buckwheat pillows are CHEAP KNOCKOFFS - Many are MANUFACTURED IN CHINA USING LOW QUALITY UNCLEANED HULLS and virtually all are using LOW QUALITY FABRIC.

7. Know your source - Did you know that you can purchase buckwheat hulls in the USA that claim they originate from Canada...

8. Know your source - Did you know that Canada purchases buckwheat hulls overseas and then repackages, irradiates, heat treats, fumigates and then resells the hulls to manufacturers in the USA.
 

Bona Fide Japanese design & workmanship!

I have been using a pillow just like this since I was a small child in Japan and I can't sleep without it! I believe that once you try this pillow you will never sleep on a "regular" pillow again! No more tossing and turning all night long! Feel the difference buckwheat hulls make.
 

11 Excellent Reasons to Purchase One of my Hand Made Pillows:

  1. This Buckwheat pillow is filled with 100% natural, organic, air cleaned buckwheat hulls.

  2. The fabric is 100% unbleached cotton. (smooth and comfortable texture and very durable)

  3. The pillow includes a side zipper (hidden zipper) to allow you the option of removing hulls and adjusting the pillow to fit your exact needs. It is a good idea to save your extra hulls so that you may refill it a bit if you ever wish to.

  4. The actual size of the pillow is 20" x 30 ", just the right size for Queen size bed.

  5. Each pillow weights about  9.0 - 11.0 lbs.

  6. The Buckwheat pillow may relieve common sleeping problems such as; tension, muscle pain, stiff neck, headache and stress!

  7. The Buckwheat pillow will conform and adjust perfectly to your head, neck, and spine; (You will not find this pillow collapsing like conventional feather or foam pillows) therefore making it the perfect pillow! No matter what your sleeping position!

  8. The buckwheat hulls allow air to circulate throughout the pillow. Cooling it off quickly.

  9. The Buckwheat pillow has NO odor.

  10. The Buckwheat pillow can be a natural alternative to anyone with foam and feather allergies.

  11. This is absolutely the best gift for the person, whom you really care about !

 

This is 100% made by hand, and the pillow size and amount of the hulls are calculated from my experience.
