Funny you should mention that.

I switched to buckwheat pillows a few years ago and I’ve been a fan. It’s a really interesting texture that you can move and shape really easily, but then when you apply pressure to it, it firms up and holds its shape. So, you get a really supportive pillow that’s molded to your head and neck (For reference, I’m a side sleeper). The only downside I’ve noticed is the filling degrades relatively quickly, and after about a year it loses a lot of its volume and doesn’t hold its shape as well, so you’ll need to replace it. The bright side is that it’s fairly cheap, and entirely biodegradable.

In a few days I’ll be moving to a new state to be closer with my long distance girlfriend of a year. I’ve been feeling pretty directionless and stuck for a long time now, so I’m looking forward to being able to start a new chapter of my life.
