Still waiting to see if it helps with neck pain.
“The pillow is surprisingly comfortable despite me normally using soft feather pillows and being worried when it was described as hard. I like the fact you can adjust the height, I dont find noise or smell a problem at all. I think I need more time to trial if it is helping with neck pain.”

Just looking for a good pillow
“Pillows are so individual: what works for one person won't work for another. I wasn't sure at first (it took a day or so to get used to the buckwheat pillow) but now love it.
It is a slightly different experience to hollow fibre pillows or memory foam:
- There is little give once your head is on the pillow, which was odd to start with, but now it is great.
- The pillow is completely moldable and stays there.
- The smell is slightly woody (hey, it's a natural product), but much nicer than the chemicals of the memory foam pillows I've had previously and it dissipates with time.
- There is a sound of the sea each time you move your head overnight, but this hasn't disturbed either me or my partner who also has a buckwheat pillow (it's white noise)
- The pillow is really well stuffed on arrival and I took out 10 soup ladles to get it to the right density (I've kept them in a spare pillow case) but you get to choose what's right for you.
The price really is reasonable for a pillow that will (I hope) last many years, rather than months.
Dispatch and delivery were great and rapid, and if you choose the reduced plastic option you're helping the planet a bit more.
If I needed to get another one I would do so as the are really comfortable to use.”

Neck support during sleep and general sleep
“Astonishing pillow. Never would have thought this was exactly what I needed, but somehow it supports beautifully without either feeling hard or uncomfortable, or giving the 'push back' that a traditional pillow does”
“This pillow has saved my sleep & is helping with pain management, sleep comfort & support.
This is a genuine review and here's my story:
I suffer from jaw joint disease and after having joint replacement 4 years ago, I have struggled so much with finding the right pillow because so many don't support the head and neck in a way that a person who suffers face pain, chronic TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) really needs.
I read about Buckwheat pillows & I thought "why not give it a go, I've tried so many other pillows).
In a space of just under 3 weeks, I've gone from needing 4 pillows around me to just this one.
It really has been a game changer for me & I am so impressed.
A message to Putnams: I can see that you have worked with the NHS for many years. If you are not speaking to the NHS Maxillofacial department, I really would encourage you to because there are so many patients who would benefit from hearing about Buckwheat pillows.
I've struggled with the "pillow" topic for over 10 years and I so wish I'd heard about these all those years ago.”
