I understand that the better buckwheat pillows use only the larger, more 3D half of the shell, leaving out the flat pieces. Fluffier. is yours?

Mine started out quite fluffy. I have had it about six months. It still is comfortable, but I wonder if some shells have broken into smaller pieces. There is more space in the pillow.

We have now bought 4 of these. We think they are extremely comfortable. I would call them fluffy.

I have noticed that when it starts to go flat in the middle you just have to reshape it and it doesn't take much. I still think it's better than the first generation.

Hello, I am Maggie Wong, the owner of Comfycomfy.It may be possible that some hulls may break after years of use, but for our own pillows, which we have used many years, we have never noticed either a breakdown or a deterioration in the support the pillow provides. We doubt that adding extra buckwheat hulls would ever be necessary, but if the user feels that it is necessary, we will provide hulls free of charge. BTW, we use tightly woven cotton twill fabric casing, so if natural processes create smaller peices within the pillow they would be retained by the casing.

They fit the euro pillows better. They sell thme in Bed and Bath, sometimes JC penny. They are more square then oblong...

The standard pillow has a small footprint, but I feel like it is overstuffed. I would recommend trying different pillows locally until you find one you really like. I am 100% dissatisfied with my cloud pillow.

Not like down, more like cotton. The stuffing can be moved around inside a pillow and will stay when compacted, unlike buckwheat.

HI Katherine - The Japanese size pillow measures 14" x 20". The depth of the pillow varies depending on how many buckwheat hulls you choose to use. Justin Magnolia Organics

My husband uses the buckwheat pillow and says that there is no noise in your ear when you sleep on your side. And . . . the comfort of the pillow is outstanding.

Actually yes, and it is so full of buckwheat that you can take a bunch out to fill a sports sock to heat that up and place around your neck. You won't even miss it from the pillow. You can also do a sports sock this way if you fill it with rice while you wait for the pillow to arrive. Hope this helps you.

Yes, this pillow has a zipper so you can remove or add buckwheat to your specifications.

I do not detect the odor that you are smelling with my pillow. I have used buckwheat pillows for many years now and never had any problems as such. This pillow has been superior to any I have had before so I don't know what to tell you. Have you contacted the company that makes it? Maybe they can help? Sorry I can't be if more help. Good luck.

Our package looked different so it's possible it has changed since, but ours is a square-ish shape with scalloped/rounded edges and indentations down the length of the pillow. Not sure if that's a helpful description but I tried! :)

It's not either of them actually. They aren't exactly the same. But they are nice. Your head sinks in a bit but without the pillow flattening out. And honestly there wasn't much difference between. Sorry if this doesn't really answer your question.

Definitely not. For me, I found that with a buckwheat pillow that my head would stay in the same spot throughout the night, largely preventing me from spending the night tossing and turning. That was my experience with this pillow, hours of head rolling side to side trying to find a "spot" I liked.

The standard size case fits my queen sized buckwheat pillow perfectly. My pillow isn't new so it has squashed down some, but I think that even a new pillow would fit. I believe these cases run a bit large. They are also very comfortable (no plastic feeling), and I highly recommend them.

Yes you can also add more buckwheat to it to make it stay thicker don't think of it as a pillow so much as a soft bean bag it is firmer than normal pillows.

The original pillow I got was only hulls. I guess some people felt it wasn't soft enough (frankly I didn't mind it at all - as I have used a buckwheat pillow before). I just recently received a bag of foam to incorporate with the hulls to make the pillow softer. I didn't notice any "ingredient" information on the package. I haven't done actually mixed my foam yet. This said, I'd bet you could request only hulls.
