My sister told me to try a buckwheat pillow and I was dead wrong about it

My sister kept going on about her buckwheat pillow for months. I thought she was crazy because those things look like a sack of birdseed. After tossing and turning for two weeks straight I finally borrowed her spare one. Now I sleep deeper and my neck doesn't crack in the morning anymore. Has anyone else had a pillow change their sleep this much?

Bring up the temperature angle - buckwheat pillows stay cool all night because air moves through the hulls. My partner sweats on memory foam no matter what but switched to buckwheat and stopped waking up soaked. That alone made it worth it for us.

My husband tried buckwheat pillows for a few months and said they got too hard and lumpy for him, @uma_ellis.
