Product Information
Full details
The Brow-Farm Organic Buckwheat Pillow is an ideal choice for sleepers seeking personalized support, improved spinal alignment, and a naturally cooling sleep surface. By utilizing approximately 4.2kg of triple-cleaned organic buckwheat hulls, it offers firm, contouring support that adapts to your unique head and neck shape. While it provides exceptional breathability, users should be aware that buckwheat pillows have a distinct sound—a gentle rustling—and are significantly heavier than traditional foam or synthetic fiber pillows.

FAQs
Are buckwheat pillows suitable for people with allergies?
Yes. The hulls are triple-cleaned to remove debris and dust. Unlike synthetic pillows, they do not harbor dust mites as easily, making them a great choice for many allergy sufferers.
How long do the hulls last?
Buckwheat hulls are extremely durable and can last for many years with proper care, often significantly longer than memory foam or down pillows.
Will the pillow stay cool all night?
Yes. Because the hulls allow air to circulate freely between them, the pillow does not trap body heat the way solid foam pillows do.
Can I wash the buckwheat hulls?
No. The hulls should be kept dry at all times. If the filling becomes wet, it is best to replace it.
Is this pillow heavy?
Yes, it contains 4.2kg of material. While this adds to the stability and support, it makes the pillow heavier than standard polyester or down alternatives.
Does it have a smell?
You may notice a light, earthy, natural scent from the buckwheat hulls, which typically dissipates within a few days of use.
Troubleshooting
The pillow feels too high or stiff.
Open the zipper and remove a small portion of the buckwheat hulls until you reach the desired loft.
The pillow is too loud/rustles too much.
Place a thick, quilted pillow protector over the pillow; this acts as a sound barrier while maintaining the cooling properties.
Hulls are leaking from the case.
Ensure the zipper is fully closed and tucked into the protective fabric flap at the end of the pillow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Upon receiving your pillow, take a few minutes to lie on it. If it feels too firm or high, open the zipper and remove hulls into a storage bag. Keep these extra hulls in a dry place should you wish to adjust the loft later.
Care Instructions:
- The cotton casing can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle if needed.
- Important: Always empty the buckwheat hulls into a separate, secure container before washing the casing.
- The buckwheat hulls themselves should never be washed or submerged in water; if they get damp, spread them out in the sun to dry completely to prevent mold.
Compatibility: This pillow fits standard pillowcases. We recommend using a high-thread-count cotton cover to allow the breathability of the organic materials to remain effective.
