NECK STRAIN
It is very important to get adequate and proper support for your neck to maintain a neutral sleeping position. The unique shape of the buckwheat hulls conform to the shape of your head, neck, and shoulder area, providing a firm, uniform support and eliminating pressure points.
MUSCLE TENSION
Buckwheat hulls provide unique support to “shape and cradle” the entire head and neck area uniformly, eliminating pressure points so that all the muscles and tendons relax in their preferred natural positions. The cradling support also allows each vertebrae to relax and separate, bringing relaxation to each cerebral joint.
BACK PAIN
Many suffer from upper or lower back pain, and sometimes both. When the neck is properly aligned and in its natural cervical position, your spinal cord is relaxed (shortened), thereby putting less stress on both the upper and lower back nerve roots. The use of a Harvest Pillows therapeutic pillow placed under the knees can also help relieve mid-back pain and achieve additional relaxation through spinal alignment.
ALLERGIES
Buckwheat is not a grain, but a fruit seed that is related to the rhubarb family. Harvest Pillows’ buckwheat hulls are of premium quality and have been properly milled and cleaned in order to eliminate any foreign debris. Furthermore, certified organic buckwheat hulls allow a high level of air flow and do not attract dust mites due to their coolness.
HEADACHES
When your muscles are properly supported, they relax. This reduces restrictions in your blood vessels, which tends to lower your blood pressure, a major cause of stress related issues such as headaches.
SLEEPLESSNESS
When you lie on a Harvest Pillow you are aligning your spine, which allows for more blood flow to your muscles, and in turn allows you to relax and fall asleep faster. Many find that they do not toss and turn throughout the night, and tend to wake up in the same position they fell asleep in. You’ll sleep more soundly and wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.
COOLNESS FACTOR
Harvest Pillows contain “crack-milled” buckwheat hulls, which are a cup-shaped. They maintain their unique structure which creates a resilient buoyancy, producing consistent air circulation. With air flowing freely through the pillow, you will keep cool all night long.
ADJUSTABILITY
Buckwheat hull pillows are fully adjustable, allowing each individual to decide on appropriate loft and firmness to suit their personal preference. To ensure the pillow is not too firm (which can reverse the benefits of proper alignment and malleability), we do not over compensate with excess buckwheat hulls.
SNORING
Snoring often occurs when the throat’s air passageway is compromised due to poor sleep position causing unnatural alignment. Buckwheat hull pillows correct spinal alignment to open the passageway and allow for more natural breathing. Furthermore, buckwheat hulls are dust mite-free which greatly reduces nasal congestion that often is a contributor to snoring.

SLEEP DISORDERS
Buckwheat hull pillows have been known to aid and sometimes completely eliminate certain sleep disorders, one of the most common being sleep apnea.
