Product Description

The Original Makura pillow is manufactured with the highest quality organic buckwheat hulls to leave you feeling energized and rejuvenated after a good night's sleep. Doctors recommend this pillow to help treat cervical and lumbar conditions by aiding healing, reducing pain, and helping maintain healthy spinal alignment. The special shape of the pillows allows them to fit to the contour of your head, providing the best support to reduce stress on your spine and neck. The natural buckwheat hulls are manufactured without any chemical additives unlike many synthetic fiber or glued foam pillows. The hulls are hypo-allergenic because of the intense triple cleaning process which eliminates 99% of dust, leaving you with a high-quality filling encased in 100% durable natural cotton lining. Buckwheat is also thermodynamic, keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, helping your head to remain at a constant temperature so that you get a better night's sleep.

The product description claims that this pillow is 100% organic. However, the product box makes no mention that any part of it is organic. In fact since this product was made in China it was required to be fumigated before it entered the US market. The one I ordered reeked of chemicals. Definately NOT organic.

Also, the product description claims that the case is durable natural cotton lining. However it is actually a very thin polyester lining that does not appear durable at all.

I returned this pillow since it did not match the product description.

"Pillow size is 14" by 21"" This is a complete lie the pillow is 12" by 15". It is very small like a throw pillow.

"One pillow case included" Another lie. There is no pillow case. Good luck finding one for this tiny pillow.

This is a low quality made in china item that is worth nothing close to $15. If I had known I wouldn't pay $5.

I studied the many many buckwheat pillows offered for sale & read the very mixed reviews. Very glad I ordered this one. I have used only buckwheat pillows for about 15 years & wanted an extra one to keep in our motorhome. This is the lowest price I've paid yet - only $12.95 total (no tax, free shipping) - ordered on Saturday & received on Tuesday. If you're already a buckwheat-convert, don't be afraid to buy this one!! The actual size, measuring the seams is 14 x 19", which makes it about 12 x 17 x 2"deep. I use a standard pillow case & insert the pillow cross-wise, then fold the case in half. Works great. For those who haven't tried buckwheat yet, the key is to mold it to whatever shape suits you, don't just plunk your head down & expect the pillow to do the rest. When sleeping on my back, I make a deeper depression for the back of my head & a bigger ridge at the bottom to fully support my neck. When sleeping on my side, it's pretty much the same except I just reach under my head & make a little depression for my ear. This type of pillow gives you great support & will pretty much stay however you mold it.
