The Brow Farm Buckwheat Sleep Pillow. We started selling buckwheat pillows five years ago. Or we should say the pillows started selling themselves! Here's why. A large number of people who buy a pillow from us do so because someone else as told them how much a buckwheat pillow as improved their quality of sleep. From a better sleeping position which helped them get a better quality of sleep. They woke up feeling refreshed and more relaxed. With less aches and pains. Pillow Design. One of the first things we are asked about our pillows is "is it all natural" The answer to that is yes. With a 100% cotton case filled with 2.9kg of 100% Organic buckwheat hulls. We used to make the case a little shorter, but people said they did not fill their pillow case cover's. So we made them longer (standard UK pillow size) Then buyers told us our new size pillows needed more body. So we made them 3kg. But this was to much so we tried 2.9kg and we think the pillow now as the right height and body to it. WHY BUCKWHEAT? The hulls are the outer case of the buckwheat seed. This was once a byproduct from the making of buckwheat flour. But now so many people have heard how this pillow can help improve their quality of sleep that we now product buckwheat hulls for the soul use in the Brow Farm Buckwheat Pillows. The buckwheat is cleaned and graded to the highest standards. To remove all the flour and dusfrom the hull case. Buckwheat seed is the shape of a pyramid and when it is rolled to remove the flour it splits down one of its corners. Then as it is flatted the flour is loosed and it falls out of the seed when it is sieved leaving the Buckwheat Hulls. Because of the shape of the seed it does not stay flat after it as been rolled. (As the oats do that you make porridge for your breakfast from.) Buckwheat springs back to its pyramid shape. So when they are put in a pillow case they all lay deferent ways so leaving gaps around each other for air to circulate. It does this with the heat from your head as the air in the top of the pillow warmers it rises and pulls cool air up from lower in the pillow. Buckwheat moves to conform with the hollow of your neck to place your head level with your spine promoting ideal posture. This can help with a variety of ailments including insomnia, headache, irritability, stiff neck and sluggishness. Because the pillow conforms to the head, neck and spine, extracomfort is realize that epitomises the sleeping position. This is done by the buckwheat hulls in the pillow as they conform to the shape of your head and neck by moving out to the side of the pillow so making a hollow for your head to rest in. Unlike a feather, foam of fibrefill pillow which compresses under the weight of your head so stopping the free flow of cool air around and under the skull. Users claim that they experience relief from tension, muscle pain, headaches, stress, snoring and other problems associated with sleep apnoea. WILL IT HELP ME SLEEP? A big problem for many people is they get to warm in bed. We all know that there is nothing nicer than being as (snug as a bug in a rug) when we are in bed. But how hard it is to get a good nights sleep on those hot summer nights, and now even in winter with our houses being so much warmer with central heating and those supper warm continental quilts. THE BROW FARM BUCKWHEAT PILLOW. WILL IT HELP WITH RESTLESSNESS? Many people have told us that when using our buckwheat pillow they awaken in the same position as when they fell asleep. This is in part to do with the hollow you make in the pillow to rest your head in. When we move in our sleep our head starts the movement, but if it is held in the pillow like an egg in an egg cup then this helps reduce movement of the body. Also the weight of the pillow helps stop it being moved when you are sleeping. Using the Buckwheat Pillow. The Brow Farm Buckwheat Pillow is not like any pillow you will of slepted on before. The pillow is not soft and fluffy it as been designed for your head to lay on it not to sink into it. Most other buckwheat pillows are made to use with your regular pillow (because They are made small) Our pillow is made the same size as a standard UK pillow. The key is your individual preference and comfort. By nestling your head into the pillow, you will find that it forms a contour that provides support to your head and neck allowing for a more relaxed sleep.

Hi
I have today received my pillow, for which I thank you for your quick response,(ordered on Thursday and delivered the following Tuesday) but I thought that you ought to know that the bag of spare buckwheat had come open in transit and there was buckwheat everywhere. I have recovered most of it but I think a more secure package would be advisable.

Thanks for your comments Tom and for letting us know about the packaging problems with the free Buckwheat Hulls that we send out with every Buckwheat Pillow in case some people need to top up their pillows. We use a resealable bag for the hulls but it would seem they are not as good a seal has they once were. We will now heat seal the bag from now on.
Regards Martin Caunce.


Hi
I spoke to you just before I placing my order.
I'd now like to give you some feedback:
I am impressed with your service, the wheatgrass product which is organic, and grows well, and the after care service i.e. the below instructions on how to grow the wheatgrass. Your business will go far.
Thank you Jennifer Woodstock


Hi all at Brow Farm Ltd
, I will be happy for you to include my comments wherever you see fit:
"The service I have received from ordering through Brow Farm has been an absolutely pleasure! As someone who trains people in customer service skills I can only rightly award 110% for my total experience. The Buckwheat pillow itself has surpassed my (already very high) expectations. For far too many years, I have suffered neck ache and headaches as a result of not having a comfortable pillow to rest my head on (and because I double it up in the night), plus as I generate a lot of body heat, my pillow heats up almost instantly. I have been constantly researching for a better pillow, and constantly failing in the process. When a friend told me about the Buckwheat pillow, I checked out the website and talked to staff at the Farm, and placed an order. I received my pillow in the post in next to no time. My first night was one of almost total comfort. And subsequent nights have only gotten better as I get used to it. Everything they say about it IS true! It keeps my head cool all through the night, I don't move around as much in my sleep and such wake up feeling far more refreshed. I truly wish I had bought this pillow a good many years ago and not wasted so much money along the way. I have no problem in wholeheartedly recommending the Buckwheat pillow to ANYONE (even my mum is ordering one now). SO much so, I have told Brow Farm to pass on my telephone number to anyone who wishes to talk to me directly about it!" My number is 07883 007108. I hope this is not too long winded for you mate, but every bit of is the Gospel truth! Take care and many thanks again, Mr. Raj Narula. 18 Oct 05


Hi, I ordered a pillow from you this week and it arrived within two days. I am more than happy with it. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I also suffered a whiplash injury two years ago. Since then sleeping has been a problem despite Physio. May I say the Brow Farm Buckwheat Pillow has changed all that almost from the first night. Many thanks.

hello, just thought I would drop you a line, to say how very pleased I am with the buckwheat pillow, I recently acquired. It is absolutely fantastic! I was very skeptical, that it would help me with my sleeping problem, but it has. I have a tendency to clamp my jaw through the night, thus ending up with disturbed sleep and head and jaw ache, since using the pillow I can honestly say, the problem has gone!! the pillow helps my head and neck position, thus stopping my problem. I will be recommending this product to all my friends. Many thanks, for such an excellent product. Highly recommended. Yours,
