Bean Products Standard Bed Pillow for Sleeping Organic Millet Fill with Organic Cotton Fabric Soft Head Pillow Eco-Friendly

If you are curious, you really should give this a try. I have purchased and tried so many pillows over the past few years. I have bought and returned Temperpedic, organic latex, Kapok, and so many different shapes and sizes. This pillow surpasses them all and wins! I purchased this exact one and the amount of filling they put was perfect for me. I have slept so sound since getting this. It has been over a month now and even when I sleep for a long time I never wake up with lower back pain. I have woken up with lower back pain for years!!! I have purchased so many different beds also trying to find the right one that would be comfortable and supportive. I am so glad I tried this pillow. It is supportive and firm, but soft and comfortable. I have no pressure at all on my head when I sleep. I don’t wake up with head aches or toss and turn from my back to my side. I just sleep so deeply and wake up feeling refreshed as apposed to being still so tired. The only negative is that I realized I am allergic to the filling. It says hypoallergenic, and the inside is definitely cleaned well. We bought another one like this at a farmers market in Tucson and the inside was not rinsed and it smelled so much! This one barely smells and it visibly clean. However, because of my allergy and how it was making me stuffed up and my eyes watering and itching, I had to put an allergy pillow case on it. That did the trick though and the allergic reaction stopped. The pillow case was super cheap from Walmart also, so an easy fix. I highly recommend you try this pillow. Very good quality also! On a side note, my husband hates this pillow because he sleeps with his shoulders on the pillow and it is uncomfortable for him that way. I have the pillow pulled towards my neck and above my shoulders and it is perfect! So, perhaps if you sleep with your head and shoulders on your pillow you may not like this. It doesn’t flatten enough for that to be comfortable. I hope this was helpful. Good luck to you on your pillow search. A good pillow that helps you sleep well is so very worth the hassle of finding.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Plastic free and comfortable. It feels like a bean bag and it’s firm but conforms perfectly to your head and neck. It took me a few days to get used to it but I love it. It’s a bit strange compared to down or polyfil but I like it. Read more

The pros: Adjustable! I took out 2 qt baggies full of millet to get it just right for me. Keeps my neck aligned and my head from lolling over when I’m on my back. And I can bunch it up to do the same when I’m on my side. It’s helped a lot with neck and back pain. And it smells nice. :) Cons: It’s so warm! I thought it was supposed to disperse heat but I feel like it traps it. This hasn’t been a huge problem since it’s winter but I’m a little worried what summer will bring since I’ve woken up with a damp back of my neck even in December. It’s also a little noisy. Not much, doesn’t wake me or my husband from a deep sleep, but I’m “too aware” of it at times when I’m only lightly sleeping. The cons are worth it for the pain relief though. UPDATE: After a year, I finally had to put some of the hulls back in. :) I’ve also learned that a silk pillowcase helps keep the pillow cool and disperse heat more. Overall, the pillow is still super comfortable and worth every penny. TIP: I thought I was allergic to it when it first arrived. Turns out the pillowcase was just dusty from transport and the millet husks getting banged around or something. I sprayed it with a dust spray and used the hand vac on the outside of it. Problem solved. Read more

*+Firmness- uncomfortable until -- I had to increase the amount of stuffing for a more firmness. and I ended up taking some away from my husbands larger size. Once i got more stuffing It was much better on my neck. *+size- (this was my fault for not reading the size I selected) Ok this is tiny you must know and if you're a side sleeper who puts their hand under the pillow do know that youll need another pillow to put your hand under it will be in an awkward position. I would say the quality and durability seem fine I have only been using it for a few months no issues there. *+Surprising benefits-Getting my flat (a portion of my upper ear) pierced this pillow has been beneficial. I basically make a fist near where my ear will be and it gives a good amount of space so the pressure on my new piercing doesn't hurt or strain as much . This has been such a relief :D Read more

Amazing! I have rotator cuff issues and have to sleep on my back. This pillow can be moved in the right way to support my neck while allowing my head to align with my spine properly so no more neck aches. I tried the buckwheat vs millet and millet is hands down the best. It’s much softer and quieter. There is a zipper where filling can be removed, I removed quite a bit and it is perfect. Read more
