Will a Sobakawa Buckwheat pillow become Your Choice?
Will a sobakawa buckwheat pillow give more comfort than a $3.00 pillow? How about a sobakawa buckwheat pillow for neck pain, migraines, or hot flashes? (How much did you pay your doctor on your last visit?)
First off, what is this pillow? Is it any different from just a buckwheat hull pillow? Does this pillow stand out from others?
I have a question for you. Have you ever bought a car without obtaining information about it? I wouldn't. The same goes for most of your purchases in life, even food.
You ladies always look at your grocery items before you purchase. Same with pillows. So what is a Sobakawa buckwheat pillow? Simply put, in Japanese, Sobakawa is referred to as buckwheat hulls. Soba is also Japanese for buckwheat.
So when you read about a sobakawa buckwheat pillow someone is saying they used buckwheat hulls to fill pillows or what ever product they are making.
Some suppliers may skimp and add broken pieces, and you don't want that. It's been said that some import buckwheat is sold broken. Broken buckwheat hulls (pieces) are also used for mulch.
Obviously the buckwheat seed, and the buckwheat hull have many uses.
Suppose you saw an advertisement that read.
Discover the Oriental sleeping secret to the most comfortable, restful sleep of your entire life. Would that get your attention? It would for me, and I would be asking myself what is this product. What's so special about a sobakawa buckwheat pillow. And I know that many sites you visit will say they have the very best. But you and I both know different. Many buckwheat hull sites have top quality products.
So how can sobakawa buckwheat hulls help your migraines and headaches? Where do many tension headaches start? If you said the neck your right.
Imagine as you settle down for the night, the soft buckwheat husks (hulls) quickly mold to fit the contour of your head, neck, shoulders, and spine.
They provide support where you need it, and your head is cradled in comfort. According to Oriental medicine a cool head promotes better sleep.
A sobakawa buckwheat pillow gives you more restful sleep, and in turn keeps you from having a stiff neck, aches, muscle tension (maybe headaches) and also helps with your tossing and turning.
Here is a story that was on WNDU Channel 16 in November of 2010 by Terry McFadden.
This is what was said about the new sobakawa buckwheat pillow which has been named the "cloud pillow". Folks who have a tough time sleeping due to back, and neck pain may find the answer in a new pillow, but not just any pillow, a "cloud pillow". It's the Sobakawa Cloud Pillow and it's based on traditional Asian buckwheat pillows.
It's supposed to provide better support and more comfort than fiber feathered and memory foam pillows, but would we rain on the cloud pillow's parade in our "As Seen On TV" test.
Terry McFadden compared a conventional pillow, the kind you sleep with every night, to the Sobakawa Cloud Pillow, which has ten million micro air beads.
Supposedly what the air beads do is provide a cooler sleep, like you always have the cool side of the pillow when you sleep. And as you can see there's a cut out for your head. It contours with your head and stays that way a more comfortable sleep, a more refreshing sleep.
Terry’s regular pillow was comfortable enough but he didn't feel any contour to it. The Cloud Pillow was very comfortable. Terry said, “I feel like it has a little more support than what I'm used to.”
However, in order to really test it out we handed the Cloud Pillow off to someone who has trouble sleeping due to back and neck issues. Our subject, Sherry Harper, admitted that she had been waking up every day with neck pain.
She has tried all sorts of pillows, some much more expensive memory pillows, but nothing seemed to do the trick. So what was the verdict on the Cloud Pillow?
Sherry said "It worked perfectly. It did exactly what it said it would do. It supported my neck, supported my shoulders, supported my back and I didn't wake up with a neck ache." Sherry went the whole week without a neck ache and gave the Sobakawa Cloud Pillow a thumbs up.
You will have to be the one to decide on a sobakaqa buckwheat pillow, but we could find no negative comments on these pillows for the relief of migraines and headaches, neck pain, or anything reguarding therapy for pain relief.
