A History of Buckwheat Hull Pillows

June 25, 2014

“OMG love love love your pillow, first morning in a long time that I didn’t wake up with a headache or neck pain!!!!!! ….. Best investment I’ve made in a long time……”

600 years ago, before we began manufacturing our pillows here at The Joggins Fossil Cliffs, the Japanese first discovered the tremendous benefits of using buckwheat hulls in their bedding: first in the ‘Makura’ (pillow) then in mattresses, bed-toppers, and so forth. Present in almost every household in Japan, and Asia, and now available in the finest hotels in the world, the buckwheat hull pillow is the fastest growing segment of the ‘sleep’ industry, as word of it’s comfort and health benefits spread throughout the globe.
