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.

The pillow hulls shed dirt. When I opened the box, it was covered in this dirty powder, from inside the pillow. The buckwheat hulls are not cleaned well enough. You need a pillow protector and your pillowcase with this one, and will need to wash them frequently, because this one is still leaving dirty powder daily on the protector and case.

The pollow was just Ok but to small...you should have noted the size on the add.

I'm fine with how small this pillow is (not much larger than a throw pillow on a couch) but what really disappointed me was how thin the pillow was. They could have easily gotten 2 to 3 times more buckwheat in if they tried. At most this pillow is MAYBE 2 inches thick. It's more or less useless as s bed pillow. I'll probably return it.

I always take my own pillow on a trip but this time I forgot mine. I went online to Amazon and had one sent to my destination at which I would arrive the next day. With Prime I didn't have to pay for shipping and it was there when I got there! And the pillow is great. I urge everyone to try one.

My husband has had these type of pillows for years. He loves them. This one is very nice! Comes in a great cover! If you haven't tried them, they keep you cool at night and they are great for anyone who get stiff necks at night.

Yes, this pillow is small but it is a great size for travel or for people who don't move around too much while they sleep. It is comfortable. I will probably buy a larger one.

I bought two of this for less than the price of one sold elsewhere. Very good product, if you use it once you will be hooked! Buy with confidence.
