Previous reviewer hit the nail on the head - this is indeed the weightiest, most substantial, best made, buckwheat hull pillow I have ever used. I usually get a new one once a year or so, but this one looks as though it will last forever. Words fail me.
You won't regret spending the $ on this pillow if you're a buckwheat hull fan.
It has now been FOUR YEARS since I first commented on this super-spectacular pillow. For some reason, I am being tirelessly ridiculed by an old friend who found the original review on google. He evidently believes me to be a total jackass for boldly and publicly addressing the critical topic of pillows using my true identity. Naturally, this makes me want to review it again and again, only in greater detail.
I still have the same one. It has been fluffed in the dryer, left outside to get some UV, and used as a weapon of choice by my charming offspring. I still love it to death. Whether you live in Arizona or Massachusetts, have a huge, oddly-shaped, unwieldy head, or a small, delicate attractive one, your needs will be met by this pillow. I cannot imagine why everyone doesn't have one of these. See you in 2014!
