I'm sure someone will invent a way of doing that before long!

I understand exactly MiniMouse that sounds like something I could use.. I always wish I had removable arms and shoulders at night!

Anya I find they help my neck because I lie on my side and you can shape them to support your head without it forcing your head into the wrong position because of your shoulder getting in the way. Very badly explained I'm afraid! You can make it into a sort of horseshoe shape is what I mean, so your head is supported where it wants to be and not where your shoulder is trying to make it go! If it doesn't feel quite right, it's easy to shift the buckwheat around until it suits you.

I just love my memory foam pillow. One has to be careful when choosing because the memory foam pillow I bought for another bed is too hard. I have placed mine on top of a flatter pillow and I get an excellent night's sleep lying on my memory foam mattress.

I've been waking up with a stiff neck lately. Would they work on that?

Looks as though they're trading as Oxyvita and are on Amazon now. Here's a link:

Yes, I've been using buckwheat pillows for years. So comfortable and easy to shape to how you need them. I bought mine online, but I can't remember the name of the company - it was something like Razzmatazz. If I can track it down, I'll post on here.

Does anyone have a buckwheat pillow? I had a Japanese Sobakawa pillow for a number of years. I would love another. I've only seem them for sale online. Does anyone know where to buy one on the highstreet?
