Rest Easy on Wheat Dreamz’ Buckwheat Pillow
We all look forward to that moment when our head hits the pillow, hopefully for 8 hours of blissful slumber. But depending on the kind of pillow you’re using, that rest might not be so rejuvenating. Traditional pillows are often filled with chemical-ridden synthetic fibers and covered with conventionally-grown cotton. While cotton may be ‘the fabric of our lives,’ much of it is heavily sprayed with pesticides and insecticides – over half of which are known carcinogens. These chemicals are so toxic that fields become barren after years of this treatment.
To top it off, that cotton is often treated with dangerous dyes and finished with formaldehyde. So not only does the choice to buy non-organic bedding contribute to the depletion of our natural resources, but it also exposes us to unsafe chemicals for many hours a day, every day. The Wheat Dreamz Organic Buckwheat Pillow, however, is filled with organically grown buckwheat hulls, which means your pillow has never been exposed to questionable pesticides or herbicides.
Plus, chiropractors and physical therapists recommend buckwheat pillows because of the way they support your neck and back – and you never have to worry about turning your pillow to the cool side, because air moves freely through them. The Wheat Dreamz pillow also has a zipper closure, which means you can adjust it to the perfect level of fluffiness, and you can actually take the hulls out to wash the shell.

I concur that chiropractors recommend these pillows for neck and back support! I love buckwheat pillows and tell people about them every chance I get. If you suffer from pain or have headaches, try an organic buckwheat pillow today!
