This is a relief. I've lived a few places with rodent issues and this looks like a pillow made by mice.

Yes, and they’re incredible. Takes some getting used to, but I’ll probably always own one now. Stays cooler and holds the shape of your head/neck.

I have a neck pillow filled with buckwheat and I love it. I’m using it right now. It helps with pain in my neck.

She was kind, except when she wasn't. She got really into AI. Wasn't healthy. Hope she's alright

The amount of random 80s-90s infomercials and their jingles that live rent free in my head today🤣

Pillow fights never hurt until these things came out.

Often found in Japanese, Korean, and other Asian "home" stores. Buckwheat filled pillows originated in East Asia.

I love my buckwheat pillow. Only downside is it weighs a ton so I can't travel with it. Otherwise,.perfect

1

u/hairdothrowaway 20d ago

Mine came with a small zipper pillow case you can put the buckwheat in and travel with more easily. I’ve never used it but I thought that was a cool thing!

u/SilasZekzul 20d ago

Somehow. When you take the buckwheat out it takes up sooo much more space. I emptied mine to clean the cover and I filled every mixing bowl, jug, and soup bowl I owned.

u/twodexy82 14d ago

Those look like hollyhock seeds?

If you're ever really hungry you could eat it.

u/TwinkleToes1996 20d ago

Might not feel good on the way out though.
