Offered for your consideration is a pair of handmade bed pillows, filled with organic buckwheat hulls. I have a set of these pillows on my own bed, as I have an old whiplash injury that causes me some neck pain, and on the advice of my naturopath I recently replaced my old feather pillows with a pair of buckwheat hull pillows and a pair of kapok pillows. The buckwheat hull pillows have virtually eliminated the neck and shoulder pain that used to keep me tossing and turning half the night. Buckwheat hulls gently conform to the shape of your head, neck, and shoulders, providing a firm, resilient resting surface. The cervical support provided by buckwheat hull pillows is unmatched by any other fill substance, and they are frequently recommended by chiropractors, naturopaths, and other health care professionals. Buckwheat hull pillows have been used in the Far East for centuries, and their popularity in the West has been growing by leaps and bounds in recent years. I use only U.S. certified-organic buckwheat hulls in my pillows, to insure that they are free of pesticides and other chemicals. Your pillow will be covered with soft pre-quilted cotton muslin fabric, and short hidden zippers will be sewn into your pillow seams so that the amount of fill can be adjusted. Each pillow is the size of a standard bed pillow, 20” x 26”, and is filled with about 7 pounds of organic buckwheat hulls. An overstuffed buckwheat hull pillow is uncomfortable and will not give you the gentle conforming support you're looking for. The quilted covers are provide just enough light padding to muffle the "Rice Krispies" sound associated with buckwheat hulls; they also help the pillows retain their shape. It is not advisable to get buckwheat hulls wet, but the empty cotton shell is washable, and between launderings your pillows can be rejuvenated with an hour or two of airing in the fresh air and sunshine. Dry cleaning is not recommended if you plan to sleep on your buckwheat hull pillows, as the fumes of dry-cleaning fluid are toxic when inhaled. Can't wait for the auction to end? These pillows are also available, either singly or in pairs, in full, queen-size (20" x 30") and king-size (20" x 36") in my eBay store, Shade of the Bo Tree. Please feel free to email me with any questions, and thanks for looking. I've been making and selling quilts, pillows, and meditation cushions for years, and I've sold hundreds of them to satisfied eBay buyers, many of them repeat customers (check my feedback!). I'm a one-woman operation, so every single pillow is handmade by me. Every aspect of your purchase receives my personal attention. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about materials, construction, etc. No sale is final until you are happy with your purchase. If for any reason you are not pleased with your pillow, I will cheerfully exchange it or refund your money. Your package is my responsibility until it is safely in your hands. I'm a verified Square Trade seller, so you can buy with confidence. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Your business is greatly appreciated. Shipping will be via UPS Ground to the lower 48 (USPS is also available for military addresses, Alaska and Hawaii, PO box addresses, and international shipments.) You will receive a confirming email with tracking information when your package is on its way. If you don’t receive this email within a week of your purchase, please check your spam folder, as these messages are occasionally mislabeled due to overzealous spam-block programs and thus are sometimes overlooked. Important: Please note that these are custom-made pillows, so you will need to allow 5-7 days after your payment is received for your package to be shipped (this means you'll need to allow about 2 weeks for delivery, a bit longer for USPS Parcel Post and international shipments.) All of my pillows are handmade to order, one at a time, and I won't ship anything until I'm satisfied that it's up to my standards. To produce an item by hand takes more time than tossing a factory-made item into a box, but I believe that with the extra attention to detail and my personal commitment to your satisfaction, you'll find the wait is worth it.
