Title: Great pillow for a while
Product review: I purchased one pillow in early June. I think it was about about a month and a half later when I woke up and had buckwheat hulls all over the place. The pillow had split apart along one of the seams and leaked hulls into the pillow case. The pillow did not split at the sewn seam like I would expect, but tore right NEXT to the seam. The tear was a surprise because the pillow case seems to be pretty good quality. The plan is to take it my mother-in-law, who can sew the heck out of it. It won't be pretty, but functional.Now... defect aside... I liked the pillow. My preference was for a down pillow, but those are super expensive these days. This pillow is similar from the standpoint that you can shape it the way you want and it holds its shape - great for stomach sleepers. The support is very firm though. I took a fair amount of hulls out and put them in a Zip-Lock bag - that made the pillow work better for me. I found the smell pleasant - sort of like cedar, maybe.
