Who Got the Idea of Putting Buckwheat in a Pillow?! - A Journey in Time

Who Got the Idea of Putting Buckwheat in a Pillow?! - A Journey in Time

Most of the Western world may have only recently started hearing about Grain-Filled Pillows (if at all).

But they certainly didn’t come out of thin air and are not the result of ambitious entrepreneurs coming up with new ways to milk the reigning back-to-nature trend!

It may surprise you to hear that Buckwheat Sleeping Pillows have been on this Earth longer than the Pyramids. Credible evidence suggests Buckwheat Pillows were in use as far back as 6,000 years ago!

Korea, Japan, and China are collectively credited as the birthplace of this invention, and it makes perfect sense.

Buckwheat Pillows worked as a lifesaver in the humid climates - helping keep cool and comfortable whilst preventing mold. Crafted with natural materials, their simple, durable and mindful design aligned perfectly with Zen Principles.

Nowadays, even we, the overworked and sleep-deprived people of modern society, have the opportunity to taste the harmony and peace of this way of life.

Nevertheless, Buckwheat Pillows still don't receive the appreciation they deserve. We want to change that.
