How an Organic buckwheat husk pillow solved a young child’s problem
Can a child, who woke up night after night due to her itchy skin, sleep peacefully again? Here is a recent story that shows that it is not only possible, but can happen any time. How an organic buckwheat husk pillow became a super hero.
In December 2024 my Mother’s friend Krystyna came to her, and told her about the problems with sleep her young granddaughter had. She suffered from allergies, and itching would wake her up at night. She slept on pillows, we can buy everywhere, made of conventional cotton and filled with all sorts of fillings. The young baby would scratch herself, especially on her neck, hands and forearms, until her skin became red. This is what Krystyna saw in the mornings: the girl with red skin and sad eyes.
The skin itching was so severe, that the girl woke up at night from sleep and felt irritability in the morning and during the day. Her mother would buy all sorts of pillows, even those for allergy sufferers. None helped.
The solution is closer than one may think
Krystyna remembered what my Mother had told her a while ago. The great organic pillows and organic mattresses we create that truly help. That they helped cure insomnia, feel better and stop having anxieties in those who use them. Desperate to find a solution, she asked for one of our organic pillows, to see whether they would help the baby sleep peacefully again. She asked herself: what if the solution was easier than one might think, and hid inside an organic pillow?
Children, the little jewels of life, who wouldn’t want to see their joy and health. Krystyna chose the organic buckwheat pillow, with a linen outer cover. This is what we did for her. We created the beautiful pillow hoping it would be the remedy the woman was seeking for the child. When we heard from her again, the words she said were truly touching.
“The baby started sleeping peacefully, right from the first night. All the itching stopped, she could wake up feeling relaxed and rejuvenated in the morning.”
We filled the organic pillow with our most pristine organic buckwheat husks, that are so full of nutritional value, that you could eat them. In fact buckwheat husks are “superfoods” as they contain fiber, bio elements and vitamins. Moreover, you will find in them tannins, that make the husks antiallergic, and dust mite free.
How did this change happen? Was there a reason?
There are three major contributors, essential ingredients, that helped the child wake up feeling refreshed in the morning, and can do the same for you:
- the organic fabric
- the buckwheat husk filling
- handmade mastery of the product in each and every detail
1. The organic fabric
When in 2024 our wonderful customer from Singapore ordered our products, he was convinced from the first moments that the products would help him. He felt it through his skin, like a twinge of intuition. He wanted to know how to sleep well! However, the results he achieved after sleeping on our bed and pillow went even further: he healed his 15 year insomnia problem! The thing is, he used to sleep on regular products in the past, that were made of conventional cotton. And we often see conventional cotton as healthy, chemical free.
And in fact, the truth is the opposite. The conventional cotton you find in popular products, including sleep products like pillows and mattresses, is full of toxic substances. According to an Environmental Justice Foundation almost 1 kilogram of hazardous to highly hazardous chemicals is sprayed to every hectare of land under cotton. Substances used are:
- aldicarb (can be deadly if applied to skin),
- deltamethrin (insecticide),
- endosulfan (insecticide),
- parathion,
- methamidophos and
- alphacypermethrin.
and more.
Conventional cotton vs organic cotton
They stay in cotton. You see a nice looking pair of jeans or a pillow cover, but nobody tells you what you buy together with the product; the accompanying chemical toxic substances from its growth, harvest and production.
The difference between an organic product, that is free of all of those toxins and the conventional cotton products can be seen as: a situation in which your body can fully rejuvenate and rest, and where it needs to protect itself and heal when the product has chemicals in it.
The organic products heal your health simply because they do not harm you, so your body can use its energy to rebuild its tissues instead of fighting toxins. We often think that the toxic particles are tiny. Yes, it is true, but… they accumulate over time.
2. The “superfoods” as organic buckwheat husk filling
According to a study done in 2021, buckwheat husk as a filling proved to create an extraordinary product. A group of 10 researchers from the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences wanted to see the validity of Buckwheat husks as a material for use in therapeutic mattresses. They examined their impact on people’s health conditions, and to do this, worked with 60 participants, who had skeletal system problems, were spending a lot of time lying down or were healthy.

The researchers prove that which Japanese have known for centuries
The buckwheat husks were also used for an organic buckwheat husks pillow, proved to be an “excellent material that can be used to fill prophylactic mattresses” (Article published in the “International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health”, 2021). All tests the researchers carried out showed high usefulness of the buckwheat husks for orthopedic and therapeutic products. The products:
- adapt to the position of the body
- absorb moisture, remain cool= do not heat up
- are dust-mite repellant, contribute to the annihilation of undesirable microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, insect pests, mites, due to the presence of tannins, quercetin and rutin
Simple organic buckwheat husks as a miraculous pillow filling
Moreover, pillows with bioactive filling, like buckwheat filling contribute to an improved comfort of sleeping. The filling is full of nutrients and is called the “superfoods”, because… you can eat it and support your health as well! According to a dietician Dominika Sikora, they contain fiber, vitamins and bioelements like
- niacin
- follic acid,
- B vitamins
- minerals like:
- silicon, copper, selenium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, potassium, which have a direct impact on how you feel and look.
Moreover, in buckwheat husks you will find
- mentioned above rutin, which is a flavonoid and an antioxidant, that helps slow down the oxidation of vitamin C, is anti-inflammatory and seals blood vessels.
This is what you have in your organic buckwheat husk pillow, and the little child had when she started using our organic buckwheat pillow. It is truly extraordinary, when compared to synthetic pillow fillings, that are devoid of all health value.
3. Handmade mastery
When each piece is created with attention to every detail, both the seen and invisible parts, are created with mastery and dedicated to you. The beauty is visible and touching. When you take a handmade pillow into your hands you can feel its organic fabrics, beautiful stitching and every detail that is taken care of for you. The energy of love fills every element.

The summary: The little girl started sleeping peacefully again, as her precious being was in touch with a product that gave her organism space to heal. The organic buckwheat husk pillow supported it by the nutrients and minerals it contains. The little girl had no other way but to start sleeping well again. And this is what happened 🙂 Her grandmother was happy too, and ordered another pillow, this time for herself.
