Have you considered sleeping on a japanese style futon? They can be relatively inexpensive compared to mattresses, use the firmness of the floor, and can be made with 100% organic cotton. I prefer a softer surface personally, but have heard from others that a futon like the one I mentioned has done wonders.
I had a look at that. But all the properly made ones cost about £100 to import. A single sized one was ok price-wise, but at the time a double futon was completely out of my budget.
@@KlairedeLysOfficial Oh wow! I can understand that. Well I am very glad you are sleeping better and hope you find an easier solution in the future if you choose to move on from buckwheat.
Me and my husband sleep on a futon and it is soooo great for the back
If you do get a futon, it needs to be a cotton filled one. They are really expensive. They do go really hard too.
The first time i bought a futon, it was a standard one. It was filled with dusty recycled fibres. I woke with severe reaction to it and had to send it back.
My cotton one got damaged over the years and I'm considering a buckwheat replacement, so this is informative.
get a futon if you want the worst back pain and torture of your life.
have you tried using a funnel to refill the pillows? It might help with the smaller hole, until you get/make larger pillows.
It honestly feels like it was just yesterday when I read her blog post about starting to make the change.
Completely off topic... I often watch your videos when I’m anxious as your voice is soothing. (Been subscribed for years and years) however with this video the music in the background was so so soothing. What it is?
Wow I didn’t even know this was an option. Your videos are always an education, thank you!
I have been following you for years since I was a child almost and now I am 24. I developed my autoimmune disease (lupus and hashimotos) at the same time when you released your video about it! Its been so inspiring watching you go through the lifestyle changes because I had to go through them as well. I wish you the very best luck in your healing and I hope you can continue to make these small videos of whatever helps you day to day.
I have been sleeping with a pillow filled with spelt husks. Its so good. Much, much better than a regular pillow .. in my opinion anyway
I would love to see a garden tour!
I have just bought a buckwheat pillow, as I had bad neck and shoulder pain, and despite trying numerous neck pillows, they only lasted a few months. At first it felt like sleeping on grit, but I removed some of the husks and it is now great....and all my pain nearly went immediately. Definitely thinking about the mattress so really great to hear your preferences on the design. Wow.. Love the idea of adding the Lavender and afterwards recycling it in the garden.
My father had a buckwheat pillow and it was definitely the scorched earth option in pillow fights lol. I've though about getting one for the firmness but I remember the buckwheat being rather prickly and i have sensitive skin.
Kiyo I’ve heard that buckwheat is only prickly when it’s been roasted. Look for un-roasted hulls
I’m definitely intrigued in purchasing a pillow as I have tried so many over the years and not found one that I’m absolutely happy with. Thanks for sharing 🌻
Finally the video I was waiting for so long! Thank you so much Klaire 🥰
Lovely garden shots. 💚🌿
Here at Open Your Eyes Bedding we created a modular system that makes fluffing a buckwheat hull mattress much easier.
I have been using a buckwheat pillow for 25 years and I can't sleep with any other type of pillow however regarding the mattress I can see from your video that this type of mattress it would not suit my needs. I suffer of chronic fatigue and it would be too much job trying to move around the buckwheat, I will stick to the latex mattress with a wollen top layer, it is very firm, it doesn't lose its shape and no maintenance needed. Thanks for the video!
I ordered a crib sized buckwheat mattress by mistake and if it's under me I find I wrestle it all night, but it's nice for painful areas so agreed I'm not sure if a buckwheat mattress is great for us. I got regular foam semi firm. It's the best.
@@joysoyo2416 for painful area I use a acupuncture mat. But first of all I have to understand why they are painful and try to fix the matter at the root.
After seeing your video I also purchase buckwheat mattress and pillow just recieve today will definitely update my experience with you after using for few days and that lavender idea is just wow stay safe 💜
Oh and great video as always x
Wow interesting, I never heard of this before!
I have tried a pillow once , and I don’t remember if it might have been buckwheat. My parents had one for me to try . I slept on it , I needed more support than what it actually provided. I was recommended to try an orthopedic pillow. I did try though .
How often would you need to refill it?
How often do you replaced the buckwheat?
For the mattress I've only added to it for the moment, it get's quite compacted over time and needs more buckwheat. Given that it's normally recommended to replace your mattress every 7 years, that is what I plan to do. So in five years I'll empty it all out into the garden, wash the cover and sun-bleach the life out of it and then re-stuff it all.
What brand of rake are you using in the garden?
I’m curious as to what autoimmune disease do you have, if you don’t mind me asking.
I'm curious (and didn't notice it on the blog post)
About how much buckwheat would you say you used to stuff the mattress and pillows?
Obviously it'll differ for everyone depending on how soft/firm they like it, but I'm curious
Also where do you personally find the buckwheat you use? Are you able to buy it in bulk from somewhere?
In the last two years I've gotten through a 3-kilo bag. This has completely re-filled the pillows twice and re-padded both mattresses a few times. I get the buckwheat either through e-bay or through the same seller I bought the mattresses from.
@@KlairedeLysOfficial Thank you so much for answering!
link to the tube mattress?
Do you use a reliever inhaler? Don't underestimate the risk from asthma.
When i was in a car accident and broke two disk in my spine i wasnt allowed to sleep in a mattress because they were too soft so my mom gathered all the wool blankets in the house and layered them on top of each other and i slept on that for like a year. It was pretty comfortable ngl i realised i liked hard beds
Wool is a lovely sleep surface
Is the mattress heavy?
😃
Order just regular foam.
Natural rubber latex mattress.
I disliked as you put no link to where you got your mattress supplies.
