Buckwheat pillow… no neck pain for the first time in forever
I could actually cry. I’ve had neck, shoulder and trap pain on and off for years, and no amount of physio, massage or dry needling has really helped.
I’ve tried many different types of pillows over the years without much success. I figured the pillow I use won’t make much difference for me. I got a buckwheat pillow (Sobakawa) after reading on reddit about how it’s helped some people, and the instant I tried it out, I knew it would make a difference. It conforms so well to whatever position I’m in (back or side) and gives the perfect amount of neck support where I need it. This morning I woke up totally comfortable and the pain is nearly gone after weeks of barely being able to turn my head.
I’ve officially converted from “pillows are not that important I’ll use whatever” to “I will not put my neck through another night of poor support again”.
