Pillow Design
One of the first things we are asked about our pillows is "is it all natural" The answer to that is yes. With a cotton case filled with 2.9kg of 100% naturaly grown buckwheat hulls.
We used to make the cases 18 x 18 inches but people liked them to look the pillow shape we all know so we made them 18 x 20 inches, This size of pillow is good for a buckwheat pillow because they hold their volume so you dont need to keep pushing the ends of the pillow in and under your head throughout the night. We have sold this pillow for many years now with thousnds of happy customers using our pillows every night. In the last couple of years many people are buying larger beds and they have told use they are looking for a pillow that will fill the area all the way across the bed board. So filling their pillow case cover's. So we have now made a new buckwheat pillow that is even longer. These new pillows measure in at a wopping 18 x 27inches long. This is now the largest buckwheat sleep pillow made in the UK. We are still making our 18 x 20 inches pillow and it is still our best selling pillow.

WHY BUCKWHEAT?
The hulls are the outer case of the buckwheat seed. This was once a by-product from the making of buckwheat flour. But now so many people have heard how this pillow can help improve their quality of sleep that we now produce buckwheat hulls for the soul use in the Brow Farm Buckwheat Pillows. The buckwheat is cleaned and graded to the highest standards. To remove all the flour and dust from the hull case.
Buckwheat seed is the shape of a pyramid and when it is rolled to remove the flour it splites down one of its corners. Then as it it is flatted the flour is loosed and it falls out of the seed when it is sived leaving the Buckwheat Hulls. Because of the shape of the seed it does not stay flat after it as been rolled. (As the oats do that you make porage for your breakfast with.) Buckwheat springs back to its pyramid shape. So when they are put in a pillow case they all lay diffrent ways so leaving gaps around each other for air to circalate. It does this with the heat from your head as the air in the top of the pillow warmers it rises and pulls cool air up from lower in the pillow.
Buckwheat moves to conform with the hollow of your neck to place your head level with your spine promoting ideal posture. This can help with a variety of ailments including insomnia, headache, irritability, stiff neck and sluggishness. Because the pillow conforms to the head, neck and spine, extra comfort is realized that epitomises the sleeping position. This is done by the buckwheat hulls in the pillow as they conform to the shape of your head and neck by moving out to the side of the pillow so making a hollow for your head to rest in. Unlike a feather, foam of fibrefill pillow which compresses under the weight of your head so stopping the free flow of cool air around and under the skull. Users claim that they experience relief from tension, muscle pain, headaches, stress, snoring and other problems associated with sleep apnea

WILL IT HELP ME SLEEP?
A big problem for many people is they get to warm in bed. We all know that there is nothing nicer than being as (snug as a bug in a rug) when we are in bed. But how hard it is to get a good nights sleep on those hot summer nights, and now even in winter with our houses being so much warmer with central heating and those supper warm continental quilts.

WILL IT HELP WITH RESTLESSNESS?
Many people have told us that when using our buckwheat pillow they awaken in the same position as when they fell asleep. This is in part to do with the hollow you make in the pillow to rest your head in. When we move in our sleep our head starts the movement, but if it is held in the pillow like an egg in an egg cup then this helps reduce movement of the body. Also the weight of the pillow helps stop it being moved when you are sleeping.

Using the Buckwheat Pillow
The Brow Farm Buckwheat Pillow is not like any pillow you will of slepted on before. The pillow is not soft and fluffy it as been designed for your head to lay on it not to sink into it. Most other buckwheat pillows are made to use with your regular pillow (because They are made small) Our pillow is made the same size as a standard UK pillow. The key is your individual preference and comfort. By nestling your head into the pillow, you will find that it forms a contour that provides support to your head and neck allowing for a more relaxed sleep.

New way to sleep
A Buckwheat is unlike any pillow you will of used before. For this reason it may take you a number of nights to get the full benefits of it. It does make a rustling sound when you move around on it, but you soon get used to this and some people say it is a comforting sound like leafs on trees. But remember we have to destroy the pillow if you have used it when it is returned back to us so if your going to use it give it a fair chance! Use our pillow for at least a week. Then if you still want to return it and get a refund for the price of the pillow contact us and we'll tell you the best way to do this.

From the person who wrote this page.
This page was made by me! Martin Caunce a British farmer and grower. I have one other thing to say about Buckwheat pillows "If something works people keep using it and tell others about it and millions of people for thousands of years have used buckwheat in their pillows. The big problem with Buckwheat in today's world is that it's natural and it works. So no single company can own the rights to use Buckwheat as a filling. This means any one can sell Buckwheat filled pillows. So why would you spend thousands or even hundreds of thousands on telling the world just how good Buckwheat pillows are when all they would be doing is doing free advertising for all the other Buckwheat pillow sellers!! Big businesses are not going to waist their time making peoples life's better if they cant make big money by doing it. Because of this the any people who could be helped with a Buckwheat Pillow never even get to hear about them. So all I can say here is even if you go somewhere else to buy a pillow and not one or ours. Please do try one we have sold thousands over the years so I know they work. I've put a page on the site that will help you pick a pillow even if it's not one of ours. Just 8 points that I'd look for in a pillow before I paid good money for something that should if it's made well and filled with good hulls last you for years.
