Find a Makura Buckwheat Pillow for Your Comfort

A makura buckwheat pillow can be used for migraines, headaches, neck pain, and keeping your head cool.

We'll let Google find you a buckwheat pillow to fit you.

But first let's answer a few questions about buckwheat pillows. We have the Buckwheat Pillow, Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillow,and another by the name of the Makura buckwheat Pillow. So what's the difference in these pillows?

These are Japanese words. Sobakawa in Japanese means buckwheat. So you really have a buckwheat, buckwheat hulls pillow. Also Makura means a pillow. So in short you have a buckwheat pillow.

This is from the Berkeley Buddhist Priory Newsletter, June of 2010 on the definition of Makura in Japanese.

These buckwheat pillows names are Japanese, the makura buckwheat pillow, and the sobakawa buckwheat pillow, and maybe for a reason. The Japanese have used these pillows for hundreds of years for comfort, and pain relief.

Headaches can be triggered from the neck, and also much pain can originate from your neck, and in your neck area.

Will a buckwheat pillow help you to rest better, and help with your neck?

Although you can find some reviews from people that buckwheat pillows didn't help, there are also many that swear by their buckwheat pillows. You may end up buying several different pillows before you find the one that gives you relief. As they say, one shoe doesn't fit all. Some people think makura buckwheat pillows (not neck pillows or several more light weight pillows) are heavy, and compared to foam, I'm sure they are.

Some negative reviews will mention that they are to hard. Now here's the catch. They may have bought a cheap buckwheat pillow and someone didn't put a zipper in it.

Since buckwheat pillows can easily be adjusted to your comfort they must have a zipper.

You wouldn't be able to wash these buckwheat pillows either, and you should be able to take out the hulls, and wash the case whenever you like.

Like I said on another page, don't go to cheap. All pillows are alike in a sense. If you start by using the best material for the pillow, you will end up with a much better pillow.

And the same holds true for a Makura buckwheat pillow. Using the best material from the buckwheat hulls, to the zipper, and the case where the buckwheat hulls reside, to the outer pillow case, you have a fine product that will last for years. Around seventy million Japanese rest on buckwheat pillows every night.

Makura buckwheat pillows are good for your health in many ways.

They are recommended by doctors for the following conditions, muscle tension, back pain, TMJ syndrome, neck pain, whiplash, tension headaches, snoring and even nerve irritation.

The special shape of the pillows allows them to fit to the contour of your head, providing the best support to reduce stress on your spine, and neck.

Buckwheat also, keeps you warm in the winter, and cool in the summer, helping your head to remain at a constant temperature so that you get a better night's sleep.

You can get these buckwheat hull pillows in different types, like a neck pillow, and a regular shaped pillow. The neck pillow shapes easier than the regular shaped buckwheat pillow.You can make it as thick or thin as you like.

Also a soft fluffy pillow can get moldy faster then a buckwheat pillow. That is a big advantage especially if you have allergies to mold.

Once you have learned the position you like your buckwheat pillow to be in, you won't want to sleep on another type of pillow. You will probably want to take it traveling with you so you don't have to use the motels pillows.

A buckwheat hulls pillow on our last page may be YOUR pillow of choice.

All the best
