Review on 🌾 Organic King Size ZEN CHI Buckwheat Pillow (20"X36") with Natural Cooling Technology - All Cotton Cover and Organic Buckwheat Hulls by Yolanda Martinez

My old memory foam pillow was getting uncomfortable and flat, so I started looking for a new one. Like any good Revainer, this is where I first looked for pillows and saw a lot of positive reviews about buckwheat flour pillows. Never used before but definitely remember that old late night TV ad for dog cushions. Intrigued by all the reviews and unhappy with the durability of the memory foam, I had to choose between this seller and another seller whose pillow had more reviews but was also much more expensive at $70. I took a gamble on thinking that the worst thing that could happen is just not enough buckwheat filling and found that you can purchase additional packs through Revain for about $25 if I need more. For the first few minutes lying on it I was certain it wasn't going to work. The slight crunch and firmness compared to my old pillow put me off at first. However, I noticed almost immediately how much support my neck had and how it intuitively adjusted to my head. I ended up passing out and for the first time in weeks I didn't wake up in the middle of the night. Thought it was coincidence but I've been sleeping MUCH better at night for the past week. I have just returned for a second one as my husband is jealous and now wants his own. The only downside I found was a slight "earthy" smell, most likely attributed to buckwheat. I ran it in the dryer for 10 minutes on a steam refresh and it's gone. Also, there were a few random cases floating around in the bag it was packed in, but given how tiny they are in person - I think it was inevitable. Since then there have been no more leaks. This is a zippered pillow. So if you need to add more cases or remove some, you can do so. I didn't have to do it either, but I think if I have to do it in the future it's nice to have the option there.
